Emmerdale's Dr Liam Cavanagh starts a new romance in Friday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Doctor Liam proves that arranging dates the old-fashioned way still works wonders.

Forget the apps, all the doc has to do is turn up to work to find romance!

First, there was his heated affair with practice nurse Wendy and now he's got his sights set on the new receptionist Ella…

With his marriage to Leyla over and his brief dalliance with Chas done, too, Liam's not got any romantic commitments and as such has been flirting up a storm with Ella who's recently started working at the surgery.

Elsewhere, something's going on that has got Vinny intrigued… 

And it's the morning-after-the-night-before for Paddy who is in big trouble with Mandy following Marlon's regrettable slip-up.
