Essie continues to act as normal as she continues her treatment next week, determined to work through the gruelling side-effects.

Essie's relationship with Sacha will be on the first casualties of her ordeal next week, as they struggle to find a through her illness together.

When Sacha confronts Essie over her refusal to take some time off, they have an explosive argument that leaves them both devastated.

As Essie admits that she's contemplating stopping chemotherapy – and instead making the most of the time she has left – a distraught Sacha accuses her of being selfish by failing to put up a proper fight. Can they couple find a way through?

3. Fletch reveals his own diagnosis

After a difficult say, Essie finally opens up to Fletch – who is facing a difficult time of his own. Unable to hide his own secret for much longer, Fletch tells Essie that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and needs a further scan to find out if it's spread.

Fletch goes on to explain to Essie that he has been suffering with troubling symptoms for a while now and his prognosis isn't good at all.

Sadly, but not wholly surprisingly, Fletch's plight knocks down Essie's walls and she ends up crumbling – finally admitting her fears of what her own future is going to look like.

Guy feels the pressure on his first day back at the hospital when his infamous past is dredged up already.

Guy is left excited when a big case offers him the chance to prove all his doubters wrong, but a mistrustful Ric is reluctant to let him operate – and accuses Max of letting her heart rule her head.

Unfortunately, Guy's reputation proceeds him just moments before the operation, but can he prove everyone that he's a changed man?

5. Max's son Louis joins the team

Louis has landed a job at the hospital as part of Fletch's new funding development, in a twist that rocks his mum Max to the core. Cab they resolve their differences or is it too late?
