Derek and Lisa, Windass woes, 'Enders wedding plans

Derek and Lisa's dark Emmerdale storyline comes back to the forefront of the soap later this month as Lisa faces a heartwrenching dilemma.

When Derek starts getting close to Lizzie at the factory, Lisa is plagued with worry about their growing bond - well aware of Derek's true colours and how dangerous he is.

Lizzie soon admits that she fancies Derek, and while Lisa is desperate to warn her off, she finds herself unable to do so because she doesn't want to reveal her rape ordeal.

With no other option, Lisa confronts Derek directly - angrily warning him to stay away from Lizzie. However, Lisa is left sickened when Derek says that she can't tell him what to do just because they "had a fling".

Following the confrontation, will Lisa carry on keeping quiet or could she be about to make the most difficult confession of her life?
