Series 3

Cheryl has both the men in her life on the inside — Wolf, after turning himself into the cops as part of his master plan to frame Judd; and Judd's inside because he fell in love with the wrong woman — Wolf's woman.

As Cheryl ploughs on regardless, balancing the needs of family with those of Hoochie Mama, her burgeoning naughty knicker business, her offspring are going their own merry ways.

Van is still managing the Lucky Dollar Store and planning his dream wedding with Aurora; Jethro is branching out from defending the scum of the earth (and his family) to working for property developer Gary Savage (Aaron Jeffery); Pascalle is enthusiastically embracing both her new-found vocation in caring for the elderly and her new-found love for Dr Bruce Khan.

Loretta is happily ensconced with her older man, Hayden, and is gleefully plotting her directorial debut, helming the next great erotic film, especially for women; Grandpa is still making trouble; and there are even more characters to come.
