Zara Carmichael (played by Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) is attempting to adjust to life as a single parent after the break-up of her relationship with Daniel Granger on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Zara and Daniel's relationship imploded after he endangered the life of their son, Joe (Oliver Falconer), by drink-driving.

But trying to parent Joe alone, while juggling the ongoing daily dramas at The Mill, is not proving easy!

On today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, Zara's morning does not get off to a good start.

After she loses her temper and reduces another staff member to tears, Emma Reid (Dido Miles) steps in to try and find out WHAT is going on.

But even Emma gets the cold shoulder treatment!

Back at home, Zara tries to get to the bottom of Joe's bad behaviour.

Is he just turning into a terrible teenager?

Or is something else going on?
