Something's sniffing around Mark's grave!

Natasha realises too late that she should have kept Nathan on a short leash. She returns to Emmerdale and hears about her vile son’s attack on Faye. Marching home she discovers that, despite her instructions to keep the grounds closed, show-off Nathan is playing Lord of the Manor, taking a man and his dog around the estate. Yikes! Dogs love to dig! Following them in hot pursuit, Natasha catches up just as the man's dog is sniffing around the woods where Mark is buried. Phew! But her near-hysterical behaviour makes Nathan curious. Will Natasha tell him the truth? Not if she’s got any sense... Meanwhile, Charity's all for telling Debbie about Cain’s behind-the-scenes role in the hijack of her truck. Then she tells Cain the wedding's off. Mother and daughter are furious with him and he knows he's done wrong. Can he put things right? Ashley's certainly making amends for his mistakes (and there was a lot of them!) and refused to give up on his marriage to Laurel. His persistence is paying off, too. When he shows up to walk Laurel home from work she gives him a smile, a kiss – and lots of hope for their future. Click here to watch whatsontv.co.uk's weekly soaps video preview, the Soap Scoop
