Emmerdale's Vanessa Woodfield has a chance encounter in Monday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm see our TV Guide for full listings).

When Vanessa Woodfield returned to the village, she was determined not to get back with Charity Dingle.

Though Charity's head was in a mess over the vet, which caused problems for her relationship with Mack, Vanessa fought their chemistry, adamant she wasn't going back there again.

It hasn't been easy but after a bit of a messy journey, after Mack got really jealous, things are now all tickety-boo. Charity and Mack are loved up and happy, and Charity and Vanessa have resolved to be best buds.  

And now it looks as if the single mum might have her eye on somebody new…

Vanessa's in the Woolie having a drink when a gorgeous woman strolls in and immediately clocks the vet, remembering that Vanessa almost ran her over last week!

Nate's also supping at the village pub drinking away the afternoon. He's getting plastered with Ryan in a bid to forget how lonely and rubbish he's feeling without Tracy and their daughter Frankie in his life. 

Moira spots him and makes a few comments which don't go down well with Nate. But Nate doesn't want to hear it and disappears off into town with Ryan…
