Double whammy...

Robert’s stunned by

Vicky – and by Jed!

R

emember the scandal on the

Street when married man Steve

was revealed to be the dad of

baby Oliver Battersby, following a

one-night stand with Leanne?

Could history be about to repeat itself

this week when hairdresser Emma makes

the devastating discovery that her

dying dad is not her biological father?

Emma is left reeling after her dad

makes a startling deathbed confession

before he passes away from terminal

cancer – and she discovers her mum

has been lying to her for 20 years!

Later, Emma confides in salon boss

Audrey about her mum’s lies. When

angry Emma ignores a phone call from

her mum, Audrey is thrown as she sees

the image of Emma’s mother flash up

on the screen of her mobile – and it’s

none other than hairdresser Fiona

Middleton (played by Angela Griffin),

who left the cobbles in 1998 after

her troubled relationship with

Steve McDonald broke down!

Bombshell

Audrey and Steve’s mum,

Liz, do the maths, and

are shocked to realise

that Steve could be

Emma’s dad. But not as

gobsmacked as Steve is

when Liz breaks the news!

‘Steve just can’t believe

it – he hasn’t thought about Fiona for

so long,’ says Simon Gregson,

who plays the shellshocked

taxi driver. ‘So to discover

that she is actually Emma’s

mum is a real blast from the

past for him.’

Meanwhile, when Steve’s

wife Tracy and daughter

Amy arrive back from their

holiday, will he drop the shock

bombshell that he could

have another daughter? Q

Don’t go!

Robert cracks as Vicky

plans to leave the

country with his baby...

T

wo-timer Robert has

so far managed to keep

fiancée Michelle and

pregnant Vicky apart.

But after Robert has a

run-in with Vicky’s ex, Jed,

and she realises

she wants to make

things more official

with Robert, Vicky

announces she’s

going to have a

chat with Michelle, sending

the love cheat into a panic!

Brassed off

‘Vicky wants to check that

Michelle is definitely out

of the picture before she

pursues anything further

with Robert,’ explains Kerri

Quinn, who plays Vicky.

‘She just wants someone to

love her and commit to her.’

But Robert’s attempt

to stop Vicky spilling the

beans backfires, as the

mouthy mum assumes

he’s ashamed of her.

Vicky warns Robert she’s

not prepared to be his dirty

secret and announces

she’s moving to Ireland!

Will Robert be able to

stop her from leaving with

their unborn baby? Q

Could Steve be the hairdresser’s long-lost biological father?
