Aaron kisses Alex Emmerdale

Aaron kisses Doctor Alex...

Wanting Aaron to get it together with Doctor Alex, Liv plays Cupid. And her efforts eventually succeed and result in a steamy kiss between the pair! Liv's chuffed - and even more so when her scheming ends in Robert catching the clinch, too.

Love isn't really in the air elsewhere, especially for Leyla who blurts out her feelings for David. Twice. And on the second go, David's wife Tracy walks in and catches the end of the awks convo. Uh oh… Rhona's also having a hard time with matters of the heart, too…

The Dingles face heartbreak this week when they learn Alfie the dog has cancer. After their beloved pet is put to sleep, the family gather to pay their respects. But the tender moment turns aggro when Morris from the council turns up and puts his size 9s in it.

Pete has a nightmare with Leyla, and is stressing out about vicar Harriet wanting to organise a funeral for his mum. Not coping, he hits the bottle before taking a drunken fall down the stairs! Ross finds his brother unconscious, and calls 999…
