Whatever she reveals does cause Adam to feel a pang of guilt, but when he appeals to Lydia to come clean to Sarah she is furious at his attitude and attacks him, leading Adam to suffer a terrifying fall. Will Adam survive, and will Lydia pay for her actions? Also, will Sarah arrive during her estranged husband's hour of need?
Laura is onto Gary
Since she started her search for daughter Kelly's (Millie Gibson) dad Rick, Laura has noticed shifty Gary's behaviour. Next week, as the private investigator quizzes him over his connections with Rick, Gary begins to panic that his secret is about to come out. He decides he has no choice but to move Rick's body.
The PI concludes Rick must be dead and the clues point to Gary. After an unsuccessful attempt to get into the building site, Gary is thwarted and confronted by Laura. Will Gary be forced to admit what he did? And if he does, how will Laura react? Is this the end for Gary?
Faye has a dilemma
Viewers know that Craig quit the police force after covering up Faye and Emma's (Alexandra Mardell) part in pensioner Ted's death. But he is struggling to put on a happy front in his factory packing job, and Faye is worried about him. As his mum Beth (Lisa George) works out how much he misses his old job, Faye tries to arrange a date to cheer him up, but Craig just isn't in the right mindset.
He admits to Emma that he can't help resenting Faye for her part in everything. With the couple in such a bad place, the timing couldn't be worse when Faye suspects she might be pregnant. Confiding in grandmother Elaine (Paula Wilcox), she is encouraged to take a test. Is Faye expecting a baby? And if she is, how will Craig feel?

Steve is further put out to find that Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) has given Amy a job at the kebab shop, reminding his friend that Amy is now living with the person who used to sell drugs out of Dev's chip shop - Jacob. Will all of Amy's plans be left in ruins?
