Joseph’s emotional exit

But Hope will belatedly reveal what Joseph recently told her: that he didn’t really want to leave and was only doing so because Ches and Gemma couldn’t afford to keep him. Chesney realises he’s made a massive mistake – but as he and Gemma race to the airport, will their efforts be enough to halt Joseph’s exit?

Adam is in trouble with the police

Adam’s stress levels skyrocket as Lydia goes to extremes to get her revenge. First, she plants a phone in Adam’s drawer that Sarah soon discovers is the one on which he’s been “messaging” Lydia about his secret affair. Cue Sarah dumping Adam’s stuff out on the pavement.

Then, after Adam calls at Lydia’s to talk things through, she plays the victim and makes out in front of passers-by that she’s scared of him. Eventually, she lets him in, but Adam is shocked to find that she’s trashed her house in another elaborate attempt to set him up.

As Adam takes out his phone to call the police, she delivers a further surprise: they’re already here. So is Adam now in more trouble?

He admits that he’s thought a lot about Emma since his granddad’s funeral and it soon becomes clear that he’s smitten. But when Amy finds out about the date she’s angry: how can Emma now be contemplating getting close to Jon when Craig gave up his career in the police force?

Following this argument with Amy, Emma promises that she won’t see Jon again. But when her phone beeps with a message from Jon inviting her for a drink, it’s obvious that Emma is tempted…
