Older, wiser, happier? At the end of the first series, all was not well amongst the circle of friends from Hearts And Bones. They were left reeling in the aftermath of the near affair between Emma and her brother-in-law, Rich, and shocked by the tragic death of Louise's mother. This time round, we find Emma separated from her husband, Mark. But no sooner has Mark walked out the door than Emma meets James, a dishy politician.
