Monday


Lydia and her husband Sam Dingle are baffled when her old friend Craig turns up at Wishing Well unannounced. Eager to confront an elephant in the room, he hopes to talk to Lydia about their past and she anxiously offers to take him to their baby Toby's resting place.

Later on, Craig and Lydia look over where Toby's ashes were scattered and imagine what his life would have been like. The pair reflect on their lives and it's clear that the childhood friends have grown closer over their shared grief of losing their baby.

Back at Wishing Well, Lydia and Craig share a passionate moment and the friends almost kiss. Meanwhile, Lydia decides to keep the near-kiss a secret from Sam.

Will Lydia and Craig's unexpected reunion put Lydia's marriage in jeopardy?

Elsewhere, Caleb Milligan attempts to build bridges between his feuding nephew Nate Robinson and brother Cain Dingle.

They're interested when Caleb offers a new business proposal and suggests making the driving firm a shared enterprise between Cain, Nate and his son Nicky.

Although Nate is enthusiastic, Cain isn't convinced. However, despite their rift, it seems the two are finally going in the right direction.


TUESDAY

With her charged moment with Craig still playing on her mind, an anxious Lydia snaps at her boss Kim Tate in Home Farm. Lydia then confesses to Kim about the passionate encounter with Craig.

It's not long before Lydia decides to quit her job at Craig's company and hands in her resignation. However, she hesitates when he shares how much their recent connection has meant to him and backtracks on her resignation.

The cleaner is concerned if she's made the right decision, but soon Craig reveals his true feelings for Lydia and she's terrified when he starts to force himself on her.

Traumatised after being raped by Craig, Lydia is unable to process what has just happened to her and Craig drives a devastated Lydia home.

After making an excuse, Lydia bolts upstairs and rejects a call from Craig. Lydia silently breaks down in the shower and makes the life-changing decision to hide the clothes she was wearing when she was raped and keep her trauma a secret.

Elsewhere, Caleb is well and truly welcomed into the Dingle dynasty when he drinks from the Dingle welly. Later that evening, a successful family gathering draws to a close and Chas is happy to see her brothers working together when they set about cleaning up.

As Cain and Caleb wash up, the brothers start to reunite and Caleb?s happy when Cain suggests he won?t completely rule out going into business together. Could this be a new start for the estranged brothers?

Also, Amelia comes clean to Noah about her anxieties about living alone and she makes a huge decision about her future, while Belle is having dramas of her own and feels insecure when Tom says he?s looking for a new place outside of the village.

Her troubles only get worse when later at the vets, Tom and Dawn chat about their respective homelife struggles but there may be a hint of flirtation.

Belle?s thrown to see a hint of chemistry between Dawn and Tom, especially when he decides to stay late at work with her ? could there be a new forbidden romance on the cards?


WEDNESDAY


Belle Dingle is on red alert where her boyfriend Tom King is concerned.

Things between the couple have been great for ages but over the past few days she's started to fear he's going off her. Is he interested in someone else, like his colleague Dawn for example?

When Tom told Belle he was thinking about looking for a new place to live, possibly away from the village, his girlfriend was stung.

Feeling paranoid, insecure Belle then decided she'd clocked a spark between married Dawn and Tom who seemed to be more interested in working late with his pregnant colleague than coming home with his girlfriend.

Determined to get the spark back, Belle is pleased when she and Tom organise a date night but that soon gets ruined by none other than Dawn who reports a work emergency?

When a work emergency ruins their date, Belle fumes and continues to worry that Tom has a thing about his pregnant colleague Dawn. (Image credit: ITV)
Elsewhere, after a messy night's boozing, it's the morning after for some of the Dingles, most of whom are nursing hangovers.

As the reunited brothers banter about their funny evening, Cain ropes Caleb into helping him out with some work at the garage!



THURSDAY


Belle Dingle's already feeling insecure about her relationship with Tom and has started to suspect he has feelings for his colleague Dawn.

So when the vet pulls up in his flash new car and immediately offers pregnant Dawn a spin in the motor, she's stung.

It makes for an awkward atmosphere which pregnant Dawn attempts to rectify by suggesting the at-odds couple join her and her husband Billy for a double date.

Sadly, the whole affair is a disaster. With tension simmering, Belle has had enough.

A work call brings the situation to an end anyway but as Tom grabs his vet's bag and makes to leave, a stranger approaches and demands the vet hands over his keys!

Tom refuses but is rendered powerless when a second guy clonks him one.

After the pair tear off in the car leaving Tom bleeding on the ground, Belle finds her injured boyfriend and gets on the phone to the police?

Will Tom ever see his car again?

Down the road at Mulberry, Charles is headed off on a retreat and he can't pack his bags fast enough after all that's gone on between him and his parents.
