1. Amelia and Noah get closer
The future teen mum portrayed by Daisy Campbell has harboured feelings for the troubled teen for months.
But when he was adamant on getting the attention of his former flame Chloe Harris, Noah Dingle (played by Jack Downham) behaved terribly with Amelia.
Despite their rocky beginnings and after a short stint behind bars, Noah has decided to be by Amelia’s side as she comes to terms with her pregnancy.
Amelia previously paid him a few visits in prison, which allowed the pair to build a steady friendship.
However, romantic feelings are slowly developing.
Coming up this week, Amelia is bolstered when a hesitant Noah asks if he can accompany her to her baby scan, which she accepts.
The pair get to the hospital together and Amelia stares in awe at the scan of her baby.
A seemingly happy couple, Amelia and Noah share their first kiss – PC Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton) is nearby and is shocked by what she’s seen.

2. Dan makes a move on Harriet
Much like his daughter, and after a quick fling with Faith Dingle, Dan Spencer (Liam Fox) is ready to settle down with someone new.

This week, the mechanic asks her out for drinks but is gutted when she seems oblivious to his feelings.

When the teen gets disappointing exam results, both the police constable and Dan over-compensate.
But while alone, she tells Dan all about Amelia’s bond with Noah.
A tense confrontation ensues

Much like any time a secret is exposed in the Dales, things escalate for Amelia, Noah and Dan.

Curious about the commotion, and as shouting continues to arise, Sam sees Dan being physically restrained by Bob Hope from attacking Noah.
Slowly, news of Amelia’s pregnancy goes around the village.
Could she reveal the identity of her baby’s father to save Noah, whose name was recently cleared?

Meanwhile, Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) and Al Chapman (Michael Wildman) keep up their illicit romance.
After getting close to the businessman, Chas tried to stay away from him and focus on her mother Faith’s deteriorating health.
But that didn’t last long and the pair came back to each other.
Coming up, Chas and Al enjoy a tender post-coital moment at a hotel and it’s clear their connection is becoming more emotional.
The pair then part ways and passionately kiss.
However, there may be trouble ahead for them.

5. … But somebody catches them
Unbeknownst to them, somebody very close to home has caught them and could be exposing their affair in the eponymous village.
Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) decides to confront both Chas and her business partner after seeing them kiss.
The following day, Chas and Al are mortified when she tells them she saw them and knows all about their affair.
A terrified Chas knows this means her marriage with Paddy (Dominic Brunt) is in jeopardy.
Will she stop Belle from saying anything?
Faith Dingle is trying to live her life to the fullest
6. Faith’s last party goes south
Chas may be brought back to reality and away from her matters of the heart as Faith (Sally Dexter) is struggling with her cancer.
To make things worse, her last ever party turns into a nightmare when she collapses.
Coming up, her palliative care nurse tells her that the important thing for her to focus on is dying without any regrets.
Faith is left thoughtful by the comment and decides to make a list, encouraged by Eric Pollard (played by Chris Chittell) – although emotions run high when they contemplate what’s ahead of her.
Chas is hit with the same bitter reality when her mother struggles during a country walk.
However, Faith perks up when she sees a farmer nearby and flags him down to rescue them.
When she decides to have a party before it’s too late, Chas is surprised and is left thoughtful as Faith implores her not to make the same mistakes in her own life.
Meanwhile, Faith’s son Cain (Jeff Hordley) is at a loss on how to behave and is even reluctant to attend her party due to how upsetting he may find it.
Guilty over his selfishness, his wife Moira Dingle eventually confirms he will be there.
Later on, the awkwardness is palpable at the Woolpack as Faith begins her speech to people arriving but everyone relaxes when she belts out a karaoke tune.
The party is in full swing but panic soon takes over when Faith collapses at the bar.
Faith is taken to hospital, where Chas and her husband Paddy wait to know more about her condition.
Chas takes out her frustration on Paddy, which leaves him confused but a nurse interrupts it all to take them to see a confused Faith.
The latter claims she can’t see properly and the couple are in serious distress.
Liv is scared of Vinny and Gabby’s friendly bond
7. Sandra plays with Liv’s marriage
After taking advantage of Rishi Sharma, Sandra Flaherty (Joanne Mitchell) stoops to another low and begins to wreak havoc in her daughter’s marriage to Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson).
Sandra’s mind whirs this week when she sees her Vinny acting playfully with Gabbie Thomas (Rosie Bentham).
In later scenes, she plants seeds of doubt in Liv’s (Isobel Steele) mind by questioning her asexuality and the issues it could cause in her marriage.
She goes a step further by raising doubts over Gabby and Vinny’s relationship.
Sadly, Sandra’s manipulative tactics work a charm on Liv who eyes Vinny and Gabby with worry as they talk.
The following day, Gabby is surprised when Sandra mentions Liv and Vinny are having issues and she offers to speak to Vinny.
Sandra is thrilled to see her plan is going along smoothly.
Things go from bad to worse later on when Liv is shocked to see Gabby come over to speak to Vinny at Mill Cottage.
The opportunity arises for Sandra to drip more poison and question Gabby’s true intentions with Vinny.
Much to her thrill, Liv is clearly uneasy.
