Dangerous game:

Robert tries to

reassure Vicky

D

ev returns from his trip to

India with Asha (son Aadi

is staying on in the country

with family) and confides in Mary

that his break has been far from

restful as his daughter has been

an absolute nightmare. It sounds

like bog-standard behaviour for

a hormonal teenager, but Mary is

convinced there’s more to it than

that – the once bubbly girl has

become withdrawn, and seems to

be hiding something.

Mary’s suspicions are right, as is

revealed when Asha later drops her

bag and a tub of skin-lightening

cream falls out. Neither Mary nor

Dev have any idea she is trying to

bleach her skin – a highly dangerous

practice that could have long-term

side-effects. Can they uncover her

secret before Asha does herself harm?

Asha’s dark secret

J

uggling his life between

his fiancée and his

pregnant ex, it’s a

wonder that chef Robert

has the time to make a piece of

toast, let alone run a restaurant.

And just when it seems things

can’t get any more complicated, he

gets himself into a proper pickle

when he tries to stop Vicky from

moving to Ireland.

Vicky has been offered a new

life in the Emerald Isle by her son

Tyler’s father, Jed. Robert can’t

help feeling jealous of him and,

when he and Vicky return from

a shopping trip and Jed arrives on

the scene, the two men lock horns

and Jed gives Robert a wallop.

As Vicky tends to her former

lover, she tells Robert she’d be

prepared to stay put if he can

offer her something better.

‘Vicky just wants someone to

love her and commit to her,’ says

Kerri Quinn, who plays her.

‘Robert says: “All in good time.”

‘She also wants clarification

that Michelle is out of the picture,

so she heads over to the cobbles.

Robert stops her from confronting

Robert’s

nightmare

The cheating

chef’s double

life gets a whole

lot trickier...

Michelle and is quite brutal with

her. Vicky can’t help feeling that

he’s ashamed of her.’

As Robert is later heading out

to get Michelle’s engagement

ring re-sized, Tyler calls to tell

him that he and his mum are

leaving for Ireland any minute.

Robert rushes over to Vicky’s

place, where she says she’s fed up

of being his dirty little secret. But

as he leaves, she finds something

that makes her believe her future

lies in Weatherfield after all.

What has she seen to make her

do such a sudden U-turn?

Deceit: Michelle is

in the dark about

Robert’s lies
