CARLY’S BABY HEARTACHE

EMMERDALE

Vanessa goes down with

the norovirus, giving

Daddio Kirin the perfect

excuse to bond with baby

Johnny – except he ends up getting

drunk and screaming in the tot’s face,

unable to cope with his new fatherly

duties. Cue caring Carly stepping in

to play the doting parent – but what

secret is she hiding? We’ve suspected

for a while that Bob’s daughter is

sitting on something of an almighty

bombshell (“Not everyone shows with

Megan’s secret pregnancy), and

Tess becomes completely obsessed

with Paddy, aka the Dales’ answer

to George Clooney, and confesses

to Rhona – that’ll be Paddy’s WIFE

Rhona – that she’s been having an

affair with a married man. This can’t

possibly end well. Light relief is

provided by a horrified Gabby and

Bernice discovering a sex tape online

of Kerry and Dan involved in role-play

shenanigans. T.M.I.

jolly Rick Stein, who gets to visit

the city of Shanghai, then shows

us how to make the scrummiest

dishes from his trip – including

dumplings so delicate they burst

1at the slightest

touch. “If, like me,

you thought you

knew Chinese

food, you’re in for

a surprise,” he says.
