EASTENDERS

Albie’s christening turns out to be memorable when proud dad Keanu leaves midway through the ceremony to find out why the alarm on his van is going off – and finds the police waiting to arrest him over all the drugs inside it.

Karen and Sharon insist it must be a mistake, but Ravi knows that Keanu has messed up his delivery job – and he’s not happy and takes his revenge, which lands Keanu in hospital.

Meanwhile, coronation fever grips the Square. Linda would normally be at the heart of it, but without Mick she doesn’t think she can face a party. Can Alfie and Billy get her on board? Reiss needs no encouraging to plan a bash for Charles III – the only problem is Sonia assumed he was planning for her birthday.

CORONATION STREET

Dee-dee tries to make Paul face up to his MND diagnosis by arranging a meeting with a woman who lost her husband to the condition.

Meanwhile, Damon makes Sarah squirm by getting closer to Adam, who warns the villain that the bistro’s late licence application could be scuppered by the locals. And Tim takes desperate measures to prevent Elaine jetting off to Las Vegas to marry Stephen. He manages to temporarily derail their plans, risking driving a permanent wedge between himself and his mother in the process.

EMMERDALE

Mack is stunned when Chloe reveals she’s taking little Reuben to Scotland, but rather than fight for his son, he says an emotional farewell.

When news reaches the village that Reuben has suspected bacterial meningitis, it brings back painful memories for Chas and Paddy.

However, Hilton gives Cindy another idea for how she can save her business – robbing a bank. When Grace proves less than enthusiastic, Cindy suggests her bad girl image is all a front. Sadly, Grace’s attempts to prove she hasn’t lost her edge just land her and Zara in trouble with the police.

Shing Lin also considers turning to theft to help Charlie pass a maths test, while Vicky fears she’s so behind with her studies, she might as well drop out of school.
