Hilary (Paula Wilcox) is gutted when Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) assures her that she can’t find it in herself to want Arthur (Billy Harrower) in her life. Hilary tells Laurel that she is going to have to leave the village as she can’t stand by and watch her turn her back on her son. Will Doug (Duncan Preston) leave with his wife or stay and look after their broken daughter?

Elsewhere, as Gennie (Sian Reese-Willliams) and her mother Brenda (Lesley Dunlop) are leaving Paddy’s (Dominic Brunt) they witness a drunken Shadrach (Andy Devine) being led home by Lisa (Jane Cox) and Zak (Steve Halliwell). Will Gennie introduce her adoptive mother to a drunken Shadrach or will she snub the Dingles?

In the Woolpack, Nicola (Nicola Wheleer) jumps at the chance to cover for Chas (Lucy Pargeter) at the vets whilst she is on holiday. Will Paddy be pleased to hear that Chas has agreed to give Nicola her job?
