But as for Mary and Norris, will it be a match made in heaven when their relationship is based on
a lie? In advance of the wedding next week, Mary's son Jude and his wife and child will fly in from South Africa. Mary's overjoyed to see them again but Jude thinks his mum is getting wed for all the reasons, even if it is Norris. What he doesn't know is that the wedding is a sham to win a competition prize.
It's Jude's wife Angie - played by Victoria Ekanoye - who notices something's not quite right with Mary and Norris on their wedding day.
As with all soap weddings, nothing is going to go as straighforward as Mary and Norris would like. And when Jude tells Mary he wants to find his dad, Mary has to tell her son about the rape ordeal she went through.
Much as I like Mary and Norris - and I like them a lot - I'm hoping the wedding doesn't go ahead and they don't become Mr and Mrs Cole.
