Emmerdale: Gray lashes out at Katie
Gray is not in a good way at all this week. Chas heads over to see him and finds him in a very drunken and sorry state. She tells Diane that she thinks he may be suicidal. Dianeās fears are confirmed when she too goes to see Gray and is appalled by his self-loathing state.
Over at the cafĆ©, Chas spots Jonny and thanks him for helping out Katie. Itās pretty clear to her that Jonny has other things on his mind ā heās really missing Paul. He tells Chas that he thinks itās time he left the village, without his hubby. Will he go through with it?
Meanwhile, Diane tries to convince Paul to help Gray, but heās forced to drop a bombshell. He tells Diane that he and Gray have a history together. Dianeās jaw hits the floor.
Gray is also feeling bad about the problems heās caused between Paul and Jonny. He apologises to Paul and their reconciliatory embrace is spotted by Jonny. Oh dear, thatās just going to complicate matters isnāt it?
Later in the week, Gray becomes determined to find out Perdyās whereabouts. He forces his way into Victoria cottage and demands that Katie tell him where she is. Katieās refusal to say anything infuriates him and he launches a physical attack on the girl.
Luckily, Paul is on hand to intervene and drags Gray out on to the street.
A good public spat will always draw onlookers and sure enough the villagers gather to gawp. Theyāre soon getting more than they bargained for when itās publicly revealed that Paul and Gray have slept together. What on earth will this mean for their futures?
Carl certainly has things on his mind too ā namely Anna. Heās secretly becoming very attracted to her. Heās totally unaware that over at Home Farm, Lexi is trying to get Jimmy to help her win Carl back.
But Carl soon becomes fed-up with Anna at the business. She seems to have far too many opinions on how to improve things. So a cunning Carl suggests that she take one of the trucks out, knowing full well that itās run out of petrol.
Unsurprisingly, Anna breaks down but is soon rescued by Matthew, who relishes finding out who this mystery woman is. He gives her a lift back to the village and on the way they hatch a plan for Anna to get her own back on Carl.
Carl is not best pleased with the union of Anna and Matthew, as you can imagine. What other plans will Carl draw up to get Annaās attention?
Elsewhere in the dales this week, David offers to clean Rodneyās house for free as he spots an opportunity to grab the manuscript. But things donāt quite work out as expected when he fails to find it.
It isnāt long before he gets another chance though, when a grateful Rodney offers to cook dinner for David to say thank you for the spring clean. David gets a little further with his plan this time, but he soon discovers that Rodney isnāt necessarily the great author he thought he was.
Daz gets himself into a lot of hot water too. He succumbs to peer pressure and takes Annaās car out for an unauthorised spin. Anna is not best pleased and Debbie is left with no choice but to fire the lad.
Still eager for a little more fun, itās not long before Daz and Jake spot that one of the Kingās vans has been left unattended. A further joyriding stint ends in disaster for the young lads.
