Roz’s indecent

PROPOSAL!

The cash-strapped mum agrees to rich Scott’s

offer. But what will be the impact on her family?

U

p to her eyes in debt and

with bailiffs knocking at

her door, physiotherapist

Roz was offered a way out of

the crisis last week when her

wealthy client, Scott, offered

her £5,000 to sleep with him.

‘Roz and her partner, Winston,

have hit rock bottom,’ reveals

Sinead Keenan, who plays her.

‘Winston’s a gambling addict,

who has gambled everything

away. But Roz is the one who

takes charge of fixing it all!’

Roz secretly meets with

Scott (Gerald Kyd) to find out

what he expects from their

‘arrangement’, and he reveals

they’ll have dinner, then spend

the night together. Roz agrees,

but only if it happens just once

• and he finds another physio!

The next evening, Roz is

preparing to meet Scott but

Winston (Charlie Carrick) has

gone AWOL, so Roz leaves

their daughter, Abby, with a

neighbour, then heads off to

a nearby hotel for her liaison...

Regrets

Afterwards, racked with guilt

but reassured she can solve

her cash-flow problems, Roz

returns home to discover

Winston in a jubilant mood –

he’s now landed a job doing

maintenance for a local hotel.

Roz is appalled by what

she’s done but, at the same

time, grateful for the money

Scott gave her. However, she’s

furious when Scott later turns

up at her practice unannounced

after they agreed that their

encounter would be a one-off.

Scott tells Roz he wants to

see her again... and he’ll pay

double this time! Will

she be tempted?

‘Scott offers to

clear her debts,

but Roz knows

that accepting

his help again

will have huge

repercussions,’

says Sinead.

‘Like most people,

though, Roz is

just trying to

get by one day

at a time.’ ■
