Doctors, Sid Vere, Tye Vere, Estelle Vere

As more secrets surrounding the stillborn baby bombshell come to light, it leads to an angry confrontation between Sid and his parents...

At the start of this week, Sid Vere was ready to confront his mum Estelle and tell her to stop meddling in his love life. But now his world has been turned upside down by the discovery his mum gave birth to a stillborn baby two years before his own birth.

Having heard both Estelle and Tye's version of events about the baby, Laurence, that was born with severe disabilities, Sid finds it hard to put on a brave face and celebrate his dad's 60th birthday as if nothing has changed.

As another family argument brews, Sid feels betrayed by his parents and feels like everything they've ever told him has been a lie. After Estelle angrily slaps Sid, it looks like the SHOCK secret is going to tear the family apart...

And there's an awkward situation for Becky Clarke, when Georgio D'Agostino comes to the surgery to find out why they stopped their contract with his cleaning company and cleaner Enzo was given his marching orders.
