Devastated Stuart breaks down and makes a shocking confession to Dotty this week – he doesn’t feel any connection to baby Roland. The conversation starts off as a confrontation when Dotty spots Stuart on his way home from having chemo and accuses him of being high. She doesn’t realise that Stuart’s state is down to the cocktail of chemo drugs that he’s been given for the first time that morning.

So, what secret is Phill keeping hidden from Fiz? “Phill has always seemed too good to be true,” points out our Weatherfield snitch. “So far, he hasn’t put a foot wrong other than to introduce Fiz to his irritating mum!

Roo’s rift with her parents continues to grow this week – and Martha’s condition worsens. Roo and her mum have been at odds since Martha turned down the offer of taking Roo’s kidney for a lifesaving transplant. And as we chat with Georgie Parker, who plays Roo, she tells us that the Stewarts’ situation isn’t about to improve… “Roo and her mother have such a complicated relationship,” the star reminds us. “Martha faked her death and then came back into Roo’s life when Roo was in her early 50s.

Mackenzie Boyd is known for his enigmatic character in Emmerdale. But star Lawrence is more than happy to open up as we put your reader questions to him… “Do you remember your first day on the Emmerdale set?” “What was it like starring in I Hate Suzie?” I do – but it was such a blur. We were filming the scene where Mackenzie arrives and crashes into Charity’s car. That took about four hours, and I didn’t have any lines either. Then in the afternoon I had my first two-hander with Emma [Atkins, who plays Charity]. It was rather surreal because Emmerdale is such a well-oiled machine and you have no idea just how quickly things move until you’re there. “What is the best part about living in Scotland?” It’s…

While work might be a nightmare right now, at least Ethan has handsome new love interest Marcus to console him. However, Emile reckons the laws of soap pronounce no romance can be trouble-free for long, and he’s expecting problems to arise pretty soon. “They have a nice thing going on – but this is soap!” laughs the star. “Ethan and Marcus have genuine affection, and they really care about each other. Up until now, Ethan’s had the worst luck when it comes to guys, so it’s lovely to see he’s started to build a true connection with someone. “They both like each other on an equal level. I’m kind of anticipating it going downhill at some point soon, but at the moment, they are really good. It would be great…
