Coming up in Emmerdale, Zak Dingle's unstable behaviour continues as he heads to the hospital for an important appointment.
Zak (Steve Halliwell) has been behaving strangely for some time, and viewers will soon see him latching onto the possibility that his cancer has returned - desperate to find any explanation for why he isn't feeling right.
Lisa (Jane Cox) is distraught at the possibility that Zak is unwell again, and immediately arranges for him to go for tests at the hospital. However, Zak warns his wife that he doesn't want her to be present when he picks up the results.
When Zak does head back to the hospital, Doctor Maude leaves him stunned by explaining that the test results are all fine and there's nothing for him to worry about.
Struggling to accept that there's nothing physically wrong with him, Zak continues to insist that he must be sick - and Doctor Maude is forced to call security when he becomes aggressive.
Zak is later advised that counselling could help him, but he's reluctant to acknowledge that his recent problems have been mental ones.
As Zak returns home, he makes a shocking decision by telling Lisa that the cancer has definitely returned and there's no treatment for him. As Lisa is left devastated, Zak tries to comprehend the scale of his lies…
