Things soon take a rather sinister twist for Ben when he realises that Craig may be his son, after a night of \u2018fun\u2019 with his Mother. Janey soon takes a liking to the new guest and the pair of them go on a date, much to Ben's dismay, Susan then discovers the truth and it transpires that his brief fling happened when he and Susan were dating."

"When Michael returns home from a gay bar drunk, he realises he\u2019s forgotten his phone, but Susan insists that he can\u2019t go back there in his state \u2013 he might get stabbed \u2013 so she sends Ben instead. However, he soon grabs the attention of Rupert, who\u2019s a little bit too attracted to him, and Ben finds himself getting sent flowers and receiving visits to his house and dental surgery. Only Susan seems to have the power to stop Ben\u2019s apparent stalker, and the truth certainly hurts."

"Susan's going away for the weekend, but is concerned that Ben will just lie on the sofa eating junk food, watching TV and drinking beer. He's adamant that he will do no such thing, and that he will eat the fruit, vegetables and other food that she's left for him. Later on, he\u2019s alone in the house, when the police turn up and ask him to be apart of an identity parade. He's very happy to do so, and shows off his moves\u2026 but his mood soon drops when he's formally arrested for a mugging! And ends up in a cell with fellow inmates Carl and Terry. On returning home, Ben is enjoying some tranquillity\u2026 until two familiar faces turn up on his doorstep, and his weekend soon turns to anything but the fun and relaxing time he set out to have especially when Verity, Carl's wife, turns up."

"Janey is due to work, but needs someone to cover for her, because she needs to look after Kenzo and she also wants to keep her job. She asks Michael, who can't because he's too pre-occupied with his split from Scott, then Roger comes round, who's still depressed about Abi. Just wanting some peace, Ben enquires about whether this old man \u2013 Harry - has Sky, and when he finds out that he does, he insists that he covers for her. He's quite capable of looking after an old man. Reluctantly, Janey hands over the keys, and his address, but tells Ben that the one thing he mustn't do is let Harry out of his sight."

"Whilst playing Santa at Susan's works Christmas party Ben becomes emotionally involved when a little girl asks him to reconcile her mother and grand-father, who have fallen out. He actually succeeds, winning rare praise from Susan for his efforts. The Harpers are less successful, though, when their lavish New year party, with fireworks, a band and food from T.V. chef Ainsley Harriott initially fails to poach guests from nasty neighbour Casey's glitzy annual event. Can recent dental patient Rolf Harris save the night with his presence or will the rocket literally go up? At least Susan and Ben see in the New Year presenting a united front."

"Kenzo's father is back and town and even though Ben is happy with the news Susan has other ideas. Craig and Kenzo's father both plan to propose to Janey."

"Ben finds himself being tempted into joining management. Susan and Janey end up competing against each other for the same television job."

"Janey and Michael give Ben and Susan a trip to Spain as an anniversary present expecting them to refuse to go. After Ben and Susan decide to go on the trip, Janey and Michael need to find a way to raise some money so they can pay for it after charging the trip to Ben's credit card."

"Ben and Susan end up deciding to separate after arguing. Ben goes to stay with Roger whilst Susan throws a party. When it's Ben time to be in the house, Susan goes to stay with Michael. Ben and Susan end up reuniting after going to an anniversary party."

"Ben ends up finding out that he is not quite the darts player that his father was. Susan learns that her new personal trainer isn't quite fit for purpose."
