But Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) is ready to challenge the bosslady on today's episode of the BBC daytime drama!

Sid is not happy after he hears how Zara went ballistic at temp receptionist/Sid's new girlfriend, Paige Popplewell (Genevieve Lewis).

Zara was furious when she found out Paige had "stolen" one of her old dresses out of a bag of clothing to be donated to charity.

Zara's angry outburst is talk of the surgery and receptionst Kirsty Millar (Kiruna Stamell) guesses that Paige will suddenly decide to take a "mental health day" and be a no-show.

Sid thinks Zara was out of line and wants to talk to her immediately!

Kirsty can only wish Sid luck with explaining to Zara that she's in the WRONG!
