Despite helping Faye Windass (Ellie Leach) cover up the death of pensioner Ted after their car accident, Emma has been enjoying dates with his grandson Jon Spear (Jordan Ford). She’s managed to hide this from Faye and her complicit boyfriend Craig Tinker (Colson Smith), but things come to a head when an oblivious Jon asks her to move to Australia with him.

When Jon arrives at the flat, Faye recognises him and is furious with Emma. But worse is to come when Jon recognises Craig, and it’s Faye who eventually blurts out the whole story about Ted. How will he react? With Emma departing the cobbles this week, will she be heading to prison or running from the law?

Star Alexandra Mardell recently told RadioTimes.com and other press: “The fact that Faye just blurts it out, it’s like ‘oh, you waited all this time and now you’ve come clean!’ But [Emma’s] very relieved in the end because that’s just what she wanted.” Is there any hope for a happy outcome?

When Laura Neelan (Kel Allen) gave a false confession to the police over Rick’s murder, their daughter Kelly disowned her dying mother.

With Laura’s life now reaching its end, Gary tries to persuade Kelly to visit her mum, but she refuses. When she wins an award at the hairdressing event, she eventually changes her mind but by the time she reaches the hospital her mum has already passed away.
