But have they made the right decision?

Meanwhile, Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) is alarmed when he receives a text message from his missing wife, Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy).

The message seems to suggest that recovering alcoholic Laurel has relapsed.

But Jai is unaware that unstable Colin Hamston (Mark Noble) has gained access to Laurel's phone and sent the message...

While Laurel's concerned family wonder what the heck is going on, Laurel remains trapped in Colin's house.

Colin's actions become increasingly dangerous...

However, help could be on the way when a Police officer arrives at the Hamston house.

Could this be Laurel's opportunity to escape from crazy Colin?

Bob Hope's (Tony Audenshaw) relationship with Wendy Posner (Susan Cookson) has been on the rocks since last month.

Reeling from the SHOCK death of his friend, Rishi Sharma, Bob was pushed to breaking point and confronted Wendy about her previous affair with work colleague, Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson).

Wendy is trying to get things back on track with Bob.

But the grieving B&B owner keeps pushing her away.

Bob's ex, Bernice Blackstock (Samatha Giles), takes him to task and warns him that he'd better start showing Wendy some affection.

Or else risk losing her permanently!
