Seasons & episodes

Robert’s eighteenth birthday is not one he's likely to forget in a hurry. Sporting an impressive looking black eye, he is marched around to the farm by Jack to collect his things. With Donna worried sick about where he's been Robert has some explaining to do.

Jack hopes Robert can put his affair with Katie behind him and gives his son a belated eighteenth birthday present. Robert heeds his dad's advice and decides not to return Katie's calls. Katie is more determined than ever that she and Robert should be together, and tells Chas that she is going to go and see Robert and Jack and lay her cards on the table.

After failing to stand up to Jack and admit he loves Katie, Robert regrets making a huge mistake. He goes to see Katie in the pub but Diane asks him to leave. Robert hangs around the pub and Katie later agrees to speak with him.

Knowing that Steph is desperate for somewhere to stash her phones, Zak devises a high-risk strategy to ensure Shadrach gets his wish and spends his last night of freedom with a woman. Zak tells a delighted Shadrach that Steph has agreed to go on a date with him. He then arranges a meeting with Steph to discuss payment for storing her phones.

With Shadrach nowhere to be found, Zak and Sam go in search of the feckless Dingle, knowing that if he's done a runner they could both be spending some time behind bars.

After another bitter row with Cain, Charity tells her lover that she has had enough of his childish ways and is moving out. Indignant, Cain later calls her bluff and visits Charity at work, emptying sacks of her belongings onto the floor.

Having spent the night at Holdgate Farm, Charity is delighted when Tom asks his guest to join him for a spot of breakfast. Jimmy is not happy about his father's breakfast arrangements.

Zoe finds herself feeling lonelier than ever after she makes a pass at a woman during the Chamber of Commerce dinner party at Home Farm. Unfortunately for Zoe the woman is straight. Drunk and sorry for herself, Zoe tells Paddy that she is frightened of spending the rest of her life alone.

Delighted by his brother's misfortune, Zak accompanies Shadrach to meet Ethan at the church, where he’ll be doing his community service.

Katie finally finds the courage to walk out on Andy and leaves behind a letter. On her way to the station she decides she must say goodbye to Andy face to face. By the time she returns Andy has read the letter and Robert is by his side, after picking up his brother's distraught phone message for Jack.

Unable to believe that Katie has been having an affair with Robert, Andy asks her to tell him it's not true. When Robert insists it is him she loves Andy attacks him.

Furious at Katie’s betrayal, Andy sets about removing every trace of her from his life. Jack is disturbed to find him covered in blood, trying to remove his tattoo of Katie's name.

Dressed to kill, Donna goes to see Robert at the garage, looking for some answers. When Robert callously makes sure that Donna knows she meant nothing to him Donna takes her revenge. Leaving Robert rolling around on the floor in agony after kneeing him where it hurts Donna goes to commiserate with Andy with a couple of bottles of wine. Andy unnerves Donna by talking about killing Robert.

The effort that Charity has put into organising Tom’s party has not gone unnoticed. First Tom invites her out to lunch and then Matthew surprises her with a thank you present.

Charity’s plans for making a huge impression on the host at Tom’s party come unravelled, as Jimmy’s glamorous wife Sadie causes amazement by arriving late for the party in a helicopter.

Charity is furious as Sadie takes over Tom’s party and treats her as hired staff, ordering her about. Glamorous Sadie is in her element as the centre of attention but still manages to put everyone in their place. She also uses Sam's instant obsession with her to her advantage and grills him on Charity's history.

It's the morning after the night before and Sadie wastes no time in bossing contractors about to clear up the debris from the party. Tom is pleased by the success of the event but comments to Sadie that it's a shame it ended so badly for Charity and wonders if she's okay after her fall.

Sadie is furious that Charity has managed to worm her way into Tom’s affections. Taking her anger out on Matthew and Jimmy, Sadie tells the brothers they should have kept a closer eye on their father.

As the bulldozers move in the villagers watch in horror as they realise there's little they can do to stop the development. However, there is help at hand from an unexpected source.

Jack’s attempt to build bridges by inviting his two sons round for lunch goes horribly wrong, as his eagerness to sort things out only manages to drive the brothers even further apart.

When Katie calls, Andy agrees to go and see her. Assuming Katie has asked him over so that he’ll take her back, Andy is furious when he discovers this is not the case.

Still angry and upset after seeing Katie, Andy drowns his sorrows in The Woolpack. His predicament is not helped when Cain decides to play devil's advocate and winds Andy up about Robert. Andy storms out of the pub and fetches his shotgun.

Jack remains unconscious and the doctors don’t know whether he’ll pull through. Robert and Andy both stick to their story that the shooting happened accidentally and the police release them for now.
