Angel on Horseback

Overview

Nurse Rosie Trotter returns to Gallowshields and is mutually attracted to Tom, though, out of respect for Mary, they agree to postpone their nuptials for a year. Meanwhile, Bella's uncle Mick dies in hospital, having first placed a bet on a horse in Bella's name. To compensate for his funeral, Bella does cleaning work and is pleased to feel independent, which Bill resents. Mick's funeral is well-attended and the horse he backed won but unfortunately, the bet was never formally placed as the bookie was operating illegally.
