Emmerdale spoilers: Why is Frank Clayton acting all shifty?

Frank is acting furtive in Emmerdale

Something's got into Frank... but has he turned back to crime or is he planning a big gesture for his beloved girlfriend Megan?

Emmerdale's Frank Clayton (Michael Praed) hasn't got the best track record but the former conman has cleaned up his act since Megan (Gaynor Faye) gave him another chance.

Frank's mission to please Megan is really getting to his daughters Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) and Tracy (Amy Walsh). They're fed up that their dad has no time for them and is either at work - or catering to single mum Megan's every whim.

When Frank starts acting shifty, is he up to no good or is he planning some grand love gesture for his beloved?
