On tonight's episode of the ITV soap, Meena tries to seduce her shopkeeper boyfriend David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) into spending an afternoon of passion with her.

Ross doesn't seem to be going anyway and continues to lurk about the village.

On tonight's episode of Emmerdale, he approaches an unsuspecting Ben Tucker (Simon Lennon) for information on Wendy.
