Seb to the rescue!

He finds out Alina’s a victim of human trafficking...

W

hen Seb learnt Alina

was still working at

the nail bar, he was gutted

to realise she’d lied to him

about being sacked.

Little does he know,

Alina has been told to

cut ties with Seb lest

he find out Alina’s

boss Rachel is

employing

illegal

immigrants as part of a

human-trafficking ring!

This week, smitten Seb

pays a visit and finds Alina

sitting out at the back on

a dirty old mattress. When

Rachel interrupts, Seb

hides and overhears

her threatening Alina.

Alina says she’s grateful

to Rachel, and urges Seb

to forget about her. But he

can’t, and his suspicion

grows when he spies

Eileen’s man Jan lurking...

‘For Alina, this is a

critical moment,’ says

Ruxandra Porojnicu, who

plays her. ‘She feels so

guilty for getting Seb in

this situation that she will

do anything to get him out

safe, even if that means

not seeing him again.’ n

Tracy catches Robert cuddling pregnant Vicky...

R

obert Preston’s two worlds collide

this week as fiancée Michelle and

Vicky, who’s secretly carrying his

child, attend the same event, causing

the Bistro owner nail-biting panic!

While slippery Robert manages

to keep the women in his life apart,

Tracy McDonald then catches him

‘red-handed’ and wants answers...

It’s not the first time this week that

Robert’s stress levels are sent into the

stratosphere. He reels when Vicky –

whose son Tyler has earlier called

Robert to tell him that his mum’s feeling

ill – pitches up at the Bistro.

Though Robert was hoping to ignore

Vicky’s latest gripe, when she doubles

up in pain, he rushes her to hospital,

leaving his pots and pans bubbling

away unattended in the Bistro!

At the hospital, the pair are relieved

when a sonographer says the baby is

fine, but reveals Vicky has gallstones.

Swept up in emotion, Robert vows

to make her his priority from now on.

Red-handed

Vicky then mentions her son Tyler has

been invited to the Youth Foundation

Awards ceremony, but it’s only later that

Robert realises Michelle and Alya have

been hired to cater the event.

Try as he might to put Vicky off

attending the fancy do, she arrives

anyway with Tyler, just as Michelle’s

doing the rounds with trays of canapés!

As a panicking Robert tries to usher

Vicky out, saying it’s best for their baby

if she rests at home, he’s just giving her

a comforting hug when his feisty ex

Tracy spots them together and demands

to know what the hell he’s doing!

Caught red-handed, what will Robert

say to Tracy? Is the game up? n
