Emma Reid (played by Dido Miles) has had her suspicions about DS Matt Cassidy (guest star Terry Mynott) ever since he was involved in the unexpected arrest of her neighbour, Roxy Piper on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

As the investigation into the assault allegation against PC Danny Field continues, Emma confides in Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) that she is feeling the need to do something about copper Cassidy.

Zara is still worried about Emma making an enemy of a policeman, but encourages her to do what she feels is right.

After being called into the police station to finish some paperwork, Emma seizes the opportunity to confront Cassidy about her suspicions.

But how will he react?

He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.

Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)

And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
