WHILE the village still reels from Lisa Dingle’s death, there’s more drama for Harriet Finch as Will Taylor returns.
But there’s some joy too as Chas Dingle and Paddy Kirk get to see their new baby again…
- Chas and Paddy find out their baby’s gender
It’s a scary time for Chas next week as her 20-week scan comes around.
Sensing how nervous she is about it – the 20-week scan was where she discovered baby Grace was seriously unwell – Paddy cancels it behind Chas’ back.
Chas is furious but poor Paddy genuinely thinks he’s doing the right thing.
Luckily they’re able to reschedule and are ecstatic when the sonographer tells them their baby is perfectly fine.
The couple find out the gender too but decide to keep it to themselves, but they visit Grace’s grave and tell her their secret.
- Dawn relapses as she struggles to cope with losing Harriet?
Elsewhere, vicar Harriet is torn when she gets a visit from Dawn who tells her she needs her and doesn’t want to lose her.
Harriet is confused as she’s still reeling from Dawn’s betrayal, but also worries that rejecting her might send her spiralling back into drug addiction.
She’s even more conflicted when Dawn’s dad – twisted Will – arrives and tells Harriet that Dawn is in a bad way, leaving her feeling terrible.
As they talk it becomes clear that they both feel responsible for Dawn’s breakdown, but will they do anything about it together?
- Megan goes behind Frank’s back – with Graham
Don’t worry, she’s not cheating this time. She’s just not totally honest when Graham hands her a blank cheque to pay for her legal fees as he feels guilty.
Frank is keen to help her and they try to drum up business, but it leads to an angry Kim telling the whole pub what Megan’s done.
Later she and Frank decide to move back in together, but when Graham arrives with the cheque, she doesn’t tell Frank about it.
- Kim pulls strings to get Jamie to stay
Desperate not to lose her son now she’s making some progress with him, Kim begs Rhona to give Jamie an incentive to stay at the Vet’s – and in the village.
She also tries to persuade him to move into Home Farm with her. But will he agree?
