Mandy tells Carla that Rob has taken a turn for the worse, but when Carla demands to speak to a nurse, Mandy turns on her!

As the drama continues, it's already been confirmed that Carla will be held at gunpoint by raging Rob.

But soon, Rob lies motionless at the bottom of an office block stairwell.

Later, DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) starts an investigation into what happened to Rob. Is Rob still alive, and will Kit find out what happened?

By the end of the week, DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) is brought in for questioning about what happened to Rob.

As Ryan goes into the factory after him, what is Bobby up to?

3. Daisy Midgeley puts off paternity reveal

Ryan tells Daisy it's time she paid Carla back the money she owes her, and fast.

Will the paternity be exposed?

4. Abi Webster turns a corner as Kevin Webster has surgery

Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) collects Kevin for his operation, while Abi wishes him luck as she hides her annoyance at Jack's (Kyran Bowes) failure to show up.

In the hospital waiting room, the environment is too much for Abi, and she ends up sitting in the car park, tormented by thoughts of Mason Radcliffe's (Luca Toolan) final moments.

When she spots a gurney with a sheet over it, Abi is drawn towards it and she gets the shock of her life when she pulls the sheet back. What has she seen?

Kevin wakes from his surgery and is disappointed that Abi's not there, but the doctor tells Debbie, Jack and Kevin that the operation was successful.

Debbie later reveals that she's booked Abi to see a therapist, which she's paying for, while Sally (Sally Dynevor) and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) visit Kevin in hospital.

He insists Abi needs him and tries to discharge himself, but Sally orders him back to bed.

Abi attends her first therapy session and is surprised to bump into a familiar face.

Soon, Abi heads home and tells Kevin that her session went well, and now it's her turn to look after him.
