John and Moira disown druggie Holly

Farmer John and Moira are surprised when Ashley turns up and tells them their daughter left something behind after babysitting. Could it be nail polish or a DVD? They wish! It's cocaine - solid (well, powdery) proof that their daughter is a junkie. That Holly's a sly one, though... When Mum and Dad confront her she blames Roz. But Roz's friendship doesn't extend to copping a drugs bust for her mate and she tells John and Moira their daughter is a druggie. Faced with the awful truth, John disowns his daughter, but will Holly care? Having wiped her hands of Emmerdale Haulage, Scarlett decides to set up her own business. Doing what? Well, she hasn't decided that yet but she rents some office space at Pear Tree which, of course, is where Carl is based. Her next move is to hire dirty flirty Eve as her PA. Oh, Carl's going to love that... Hazel's not loving Pearl and Paddy's plans for her artistic talents... They think she could be on a nice little earner if she agrees to paint a portrait of a client's dead cat but Hazel insists she's not that kind of artist. She can teach, though...
