Emmerdale spoilers: Distraught Lydia tries to leave the village
In a state following her admission that the baby's bones found buried at the school were those of her stillborn child, Lydia wants to vanish off the face of the Earth…
Emmerdale's Sam Dingle (James Woonton) is determined to be there for Lydia (Karen Blick) but his fiancee just can't handle anything right now. All she wants to do is leave this whole nightmare behind her.
But when she tries to sneak away in a cab, Sam intercepts her at the station and tries to persuades her to head to the school to confront her heartache.
Also wanting out of the village is pregnant Victoria (Isabel Hodgins). All excited about a rental place she's found, the pub cook is bought crashing down with a bang when she receives a letter from Wendy (Susan Cookson), her rapist's mum, demanding a DNA test.
More fuming than ever, protective big bro Robert (Ryan Hawley) takes action. Having realised Dawn (Olivia Bromley) needs money, he offers the desperate single mum cash to lure rapist Lee (Kris Mochrie) into a honey trap… Will she take the deal?
Emmerdale continues on ITV.
