Belle gets slap happy with Joanie!

Belle has tried to use Lisa’s angina attack to get her parents talking… She’s told Zak that a visit from him would make Lisa feel better and even got Zak to agree to it. But Joanie didn’t like the idea at all. She told Zak that a visit from him could actually make Lisa worse, so Zak stayed away. But that didn’t keep Belle away… Furious that Zak was a no-show, she confronted them both in the village and ended up giving Joanie a slap. Zak was stunned and worried about Belle’s state of mind — which gave Belle an idea for another way to get her parents together…
