Airs Thursday 26 October 2023 at 1:45pm on BBC1.
Emma Reid (played by Dido Miles) is in the bad books with Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).
Just like Al's other friends and co-workers at The Mill, Emma has been trying to help in the aftermath of his SHOCK attack.
But when Emma recently arranged for physiotherapist, Magda Nowak, to visit Al's home for a physio session, Al was not impressed.
Infact, he warned Emma to STOP interfering in his life!
However, Emma is not ready to give up.
After Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan) declares he's run out of patience trying to help Al, Emma wonders if she can be the one to finally make a breakthrough with Al.
Unfortunately, Emma's visit doesn't quite go as planned...
Rosie Colton (Janice Connolly) insists on having a meeting with Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) to discuss recent events.
Rosie the receptionist wants a proper apology from Zara after that angry outburst the other day.
Or else, Rosie will be leaving The Mill to accept a new job!
How will Zara react to Rosie's request?
Nina Bulsara (Wendi Peters) visits Helen Curran (Sally Womersley) and her terminally-ill husband, Eddie (Anthony Wise), at home.
But she soon notices that it is Helen's sister, Joyce (Carolyn Pickles, Emmerdale, Broadchurch), who seems to have taken charge of Eddie's care.
After Nina notices there's tension between the two women, Helen admits to Nina that she is struggling with the situation.
WHAT is the cause of the strained relationship between the siblings?
