The fourth series of Mount Pleasant will begin next month.

Starring Sally Lindsay, Daniel Ryan and Samantha Womack, the comedy-drama returns for eight new episodes at 9pm on Tuesday 16 September on Sky Living.

Series 3 was full of ups and downs for the locals, especially for Lisa (Lindsay) and Dan (Ryan), who were rocked by Dan’s fling with neighbour Tanya (Womack). Against the odds, Pauline (Paula Wilcox) and Charlie (David Bradley) finally made it down the aisle, and Lisa reconciled with Dan, announcing that she was expecting their first child.

In the new series, Lisa and Dan eagerly await the arrival of their baby, but tantrums and drama are already in full flow – and that’s just Dan. The unexpected homecoming of his wayward brother Robbie (Daniel Ings) raises a red flag, whereas everyone else is positively giddy about his return. Elsewhere, Greg (Adrian Bower) is released from prison following his mix-up with a drug ring and Denise (Ainsley Howard) sees her modelling career take off in a big way.

Fergus is reluctant to support her, until the local paper wants to include him in a feature about her success, that is. Bianca (Sian Reeves) and Roger (James Dreyfus), meanwhile, do their best to keep Gary’s (George Sampson) spirits up after he gets disappointing A-level results, and Bradley (Nigel Harman) fears his family’s past may be finally catching up with them.

The gang are all given a welcome distraction from their personal problems, however, when Lisa goes into labour a week early and a chaotic dash to the hospital ensues.
