Emmerdale's Liam Cavanagh is sneaking about in Thursday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

It's been nothing but drama, drama, drama since Liam and Ella got together.

When her dark past caught up with her, the doctor was thrown to discover his girlfriend had killed her friend when she was 11 years old.

The tragic mess that followed saw their relationship collapse only to rekindle later when Ella miscarried Liam's baby. 

But there's been another problem looming around in the background of their on-off relationship.

Chas.

Given that they had been kind of a thing before Ella came on the scene, she's wary of Liam and Chas' bond.

When the pub landlady calls the doc to tell him she's a bit freaked out about a rash she's developed, Liam calls in.

Given that Chas had breast cancer, she's wary of anything out of the norm. Liam's quick to reassure her that it's nothing sinister.

Happy to be in each other's company, the pair catch up.

But when Liam returns home, he lies to Ella about where he's been.

Will she find out? Is he still harbouring secret feelings for the single Dingle?

There are secret feelings flying about down the road at Mulberry.

Sneaky singles Laurel and Charles find themselves having another passionate moment, even though they've tried to call it quits.
