Aaron Dingle meets surrogate Lucie

Aaron Dingle goes it alone at a secret surrogacy meeting and starts making big plans but how will Robert react when he finds out that Aaron's gone behind his back?

Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) is buoyed up by the surrogacy meeting he went to the previous day and is excited when he gets a text from one of the potential surrogate mums, Lucie.

Robert (Ryan Hawley) meanwhile is still preoccupied with work and a business deal he’s hoping to pull off. When Aaron receives a message from Lucie on his phone, he heads off to meet her without telling Robert.

Aaron’s filled with optimism when Lucie reveals she’s considering couples for her next surrogacy and is certain that she would make the perfect mum for his and Robert’s baby.

Meanwhile Robert is delighted when he returns home having just won a lucrative new business contract. Aaron can’t help eyeing the large cash deposit Robert has been given. Will he be tempted to use the money to secure Lucie as a surrogate?

Elsewhere David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) grovels to Maya (Louisa Clein) and is determined to make amends after ruining their planned night away in a hotel. He’s relieved when Maya seems to have forgiven him. Little does he realise exactly what his two-timing girlfriend got up to without him. She certainly put the hotel room to good use!

Plus Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) is excited when she thinks she’s found a forwarding address for her daughter Amy in Belfast. And Amy’s not the only one in Belfast. Paddy (Dominic Brunt)  discovers that Bear Wolf, who he is convinced is his biological father, is on tour in Belfast, the city where Marlon and Jessie are planning to have their honeymoon.
