A confusing turn of events sees both villagers informed that their father is in hospital following a fight in prison. Neither girl is on good terms with her dad, so it’s no wonder they are oblivious to the fact that they actually share a parent in recuperating Frank.

“Whenever I see Pauline and Arthur, I think, ‘That’s my mum and dad’!” It’s not easy taking over the role of a popular soap character, but James Bye’s portrayal of Martin has won over the nation – and the nod for our coveted Best Actor Award!

I’ve had a lot of people say that to me, and I think it’s just a testament to the writers.
