Viv is still reeling from the news that her marriage could be over and, realising that Bob hasn’t come home, is petrified he may have gone and done something stupid. To make matters worse, Jean makes sure she is the first to rub salt into the wound leaving Viv distraught.
But her anguish turns to rage when she discovers that it was Steph who was responsible for letting her secret slip. As the insults fly, Viv berates her for ruining her marriage but Steph shows little remorse. And Donna isn’t exactly sympathetic to her mum, and accuses her of wrecking a relationship with the one man who truly loved her.
Meanwhile Dawn is panicking about Bob’s whereabouts. Her mobile keeps ringing but the caller can’t bring themselves to speak. But when Terry answers her phone he is confused as he distinctly hears animal sounds in the background – Dawn suddenly has an idea where Bob may be.
Edna takes further pity on Mack when she hears he is going to sell his tools to keep his head above water, insisting he stay on with her until he gets back on track.
Times are hard for Wilf Butler and, despite his best efforts, he has decided to call it a day and quit the farm. Jack can’t help but feel disappointed as he had gone out of his way to help the Butlers through a difficult time.
Tonight's episode is repeated on ITV2 tomorrow at 9.55am and 1.30pm
