Death in the Dales, Carnage in Corrie

Emmerdale's Matthew King (Matt Healy) becomes embroiled in a huge argument with Donald de Souza (Michael Jayston) in a fortnight's time when Donald crashes a King family meal to celebrate Matt and Anna's (Emma Davies) engagement.

As tensions rise, Donald takes pleasure in revealing that he's been trying to ruin King & Sons, while Matt announces that Donald tried to pay him off. Everything reaches melting point, resulting in Donald disinheriting Anna and accusing the King brothers of murdering their father Tom.

With Anna devastated by the turn of events, Matt heads over to Holdgate and angrily confronts Donald over his actions. Worried for his safety, Donald tries to call the police, but Matt tries to grab the phone off him. As they struggle, Donald suddenly clutches his chest and is overcome with severe pain. Matthew quickly grabs Donald's medication when he realises he's having a heart attack - will he help his future father-in-law?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

Over in Walford, it's testing times for Roxy over the next number of weeks as she prematurely gives birth to her daughter, Amy. Christian (John Partridge) has no luck in getting Sean (Rob Kazinsky) to the hospital to visit Roxy (Rita Simons) and the baby. In the hope of alleviating Roxy's fears of becoming a single mum, Christian suggests that he step up to the role as father. Roxy's stunned by his offer but gladly accepts. She soon announces to her family that Christian will be bringing up the baby with her, instead of Sean.

Speaking with Jane (Laurie Brett), Christian explains that everyone's life seems to have moved on apart from his, so he's determined to bring up Roxy's baby as his own. When his phone rings, he sees it's a guy called Sebastian who he's just met. Reluctantly, he tells Sebastian that he can't meet up with him as he's building a cot. After hanging up, he throws his SIM card away - essentially, his little black book.

Later in the week, Christian excitedly shows Roxy the cot he's built for Amy. His excitement soon turns up upset, though, when Roxy reveals that she's back with Sean but she'll never forget what he was prepared to sacrifice for her. Christian is clearly heartbroken and despite his mother Linda's (Lynda Baron) presence, he won't let her comfort him.

Will Roxy will be regretting her decision by the time 2009 rolls around?
