It's a day full of emotion for Belle. She's still estranged from Aden but when Liam books a recording studio she's pleased. Aden dampens Belle's mood when he reveals he saw Liam buying drugs. Belle also tells Rachel that she thinks Irene is drinking and Rachel promises to assess her. Irene lies about her drinking to Rachel and Belle and they urge her not to give up hope. Another bottle of gin appears and Irene barely hesitates. Aden accuses Belle of burying her head in the sand about Liam but when Liam starts raving about going away together, and ignoring Belle's responsibilities, Belle walks out. Liam pops a pill. Alf and Hugo realise Miles is overboard. Terrified and bleeding, Miles treads water and suddenly remembers his torch. Alf and Hugo follow the light and find Miles. After a second fruitless day, they're just giving up when Miles hooks something. They pull it up, confused and then horrified. Angelo is late for work because someone slashed his tyres. The harassment is distressing him. Tony does a punishing workout and Aden teases him about having a mid-life crisis. Angelo regrets his failures in the shark case. He feels if he'd done some good, people might have forgiven him for Jack's death. Angelo welcomes the shark hunters back. Alf reveals their find: the decomposed body of Lou. *Showing on RTE One, Thursday June 18* Click here to watch whatsontv.co.uk's weekly soaps video preview, Soap Scoop
