EASTENDERS

As she prepares for her 20-week scan, Lily announces that she wants a gender-reveal party, but not everyone is in the mood for a celebration. Ricky is starting to freak out about being a father and, when Sam realises her flippant remarks about the burdens of parenthood have fuelled his fears, she considers taking extreme measures.

Meanwhile, Stacey is fielding calls from loan shark Shiv, who offers her an alternative way to pay her debts. However, it’s Freddie and Linda who unknowingly help her make a big decision about how to raise some cash.

Eve returns to the Square, but it seems her time in Leeds with Suki has just made it harder to watch her lover being dominated by her husband. So, she tells Jack that she’s willing to turn informant to bring down Nish.

CORONATION STREET

Damon proves useful during a business meeting, so Sarah rewards him with an afternoon of passion at a hotel. Later, while overcome with guilt, she tells Adam that trying for a baby might be a good idea after all. Damon also gets a desperate Paul to steal a car for him and announces his latest scheme – to turn the bistro into a music venue.

Is Stephen up to his old murderous tricks again? That could be the case when, having annoyed the businessman by demanding a higher stake in the Nippersnapper profits and attempting to poach Michael, he’s found dead in a swimming pool. Rufus’ death works out well for the latter anyway – he lands a better job.

EMMERDALE

Mary is outraged when Gus and his wife Lucy turn up to Rhona’s birthday lunch in the Woolpack and sends the pair of them packing. However, after seeing Gus comforting a heartbroken Lucy, Rhona shocks her mum by announcing that she’s agreed to let the couple use her embryos.

Marlon reassures his wife that he will support her in whatever she wants to do, but when he questions how will she feel if one of her embryos becomes a baby, Rhona begins to have second thoughts. After raising their hopes, is she about to let Gus and Lucy down?

Paddy decides to spend time with Chas and Eve and ends up sharing a kiss with his ex. And Amelia sees the doctor after finding a lump, but her biggest fear is who will look after little Esther if anything happens to her.

HOLLYOAKS

Romeo ducks out of a family get-together to support Raye at a fundraiser, only for Donnamarie, James and PC Sam to put a stop to his girlfriend’s event. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough for the influencer, she then discovers intimate pictures of her and Romeo have leaked online, but who is to blame?

The Osbournes discover that Morgan can have heart surgery in America, but Charlie is also in need of attention. When the troubled teen tries to find information on his biological father, John Paul points out that it’s Darren who has been a real dad to him. Sadly, that doesn’t stop Charlie running away in search of his roots.

POBOL Y CWM

Iolo has to face a difficult conversation with Greta while the rest of Cwm Deri begin to recall the events that led to the accident and DJ is still dreaming about a life in Ireland.

Meanwhile, Dani makes some accusations during the vigil and Cassie takes it upon herself to arrange a funeral.
