POTD: 'Emmerdale' Barton troubles escalate

Emmerdale's Barton family begin to panic due to the pressure of their ongoing financial struggles in tonight's episode of the soap.

As the Bartons desperately try to keep the supermarket deal on track and meet Declan's latest deadline, Adam (Adam Thomas) pays a visit to the Home Farm boss and begs him to stop persecuting the family. However, he's left disappointed when Declan (Jason Merrells) vows to continue with his ruthless behaviour.

Later, John (James Thornton) beats the odds and manages to make the payment to Declan as scheduled. However, he's given food for thought when Moira (Natalie J Robb) points out that they've only delayed the problem until next month.

John eventually decides that Moira is right and soon drops more bombshells on the workers, telling Alex (Kurtis Stacey) that they'll have to lay him off and informing Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) that he'll have to work reduced hours. How will they react to the news?


Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV1.
