Wedding day woes
Following tonight's flash forward we will see Mandy and Paul's wedding getting under way.
The drama starts when Aaron calls Paul and tells him he has a surprise for him at the Dingle house.
However, when Paul gets there he is shocked to find it isn't a pre-wedding gift, but actually Connor tied and gagged in the Dingles' front room.
Fans will know that Aaron believes Connor is the one who attacked Vinny, and he thinks he's doing Paul a favour by handing him to him on a plate.
But the reality is Paul attacked Vinny, and Connor knows all his secrets.
Paul is horrified to see Connor in his house and tells Aaron to leave it to him to sort the situation.
But before Aaron can leave, Connor desperately tries to tell him the truth about what Paul has done.
Sadly, Aaron can't hear a word because of the gag, and Paul's secret continues to be safe for now.
However, things take a turn when Connor escapes and a run in with Liv soon sees the truth revealed.
As the penny drops for Liv, will she be able to find Vinny and get him to open up about his dad's abuse before Paul can marry Mandy?
