00:30Kim reckons we've just got to keep an eye on our Beth, especially now we know about
00:37the abortion.
00:38She was in such a mess about it all yesterday. Maybe I'll chat to her mental health team,
00:43get some advice.
00:44Yeah, we need to make sure she's taking her medicine.
00:50Doctor's on my account.
00:51It's OK, love, we're all here for you. And everything stays within the family, OK?
00:56Can I get you a bacon butter?
00:59No, Ta, I'm not hungry.
01:03I found this when I did the laundry.
01:08I don't need that now, do I?
01:09Right, where's Piper? I'm going to take her on a walk.
01:14She's outside with Chip and Monty.
01:15They were dead excited, I let them out for a run.
01:18What? No, she's a rescue, she gets nervous. The last time she was loose in Wales...
01:23Don't worry, she'll just be out in Backfield.
01:25Sam, I know my own dog, alright? Next time leave it to me.
01:32She is struggling. How could we not notice?
01:42Makes it last three times longer. Saves me a bomb on restock. You see, you look after
01:48the pennies, the bones look after themselves.
01:51If I carry on much longer, I'm going to be off my conkers.
01:57You alright?
01:58Of course.
01:59Come on, it's me. What is it?
02:05Liam wants me to get rid of the baby.
02:07What?
02:08He was really cold about it. Reckons I got pregnant on purpose. Said I engineered it.
02:14At least I know how he really feels.
02:16But it's not his decision, you're the one that's preggers.
02:19He won't mean it. He's probably just selling shock.
02:23He asked if I could guarantee the baby's safety.
02:26He probably just needs to sink in. But I'm not having you feel pressure into anything, right?
02:32Maybe it's best if I don't go ahead with it.
02:34What you need is a booster and a chinwag. Go on, get your cotton bag, we're going for a chocolate.
02:41We can talk about things properly, make correct decisions.
02:50Hello?
02:52Oh, thank God. Belle's out looking for her.
02:55Where was she?
02:57Scratching outside my front door. Poor little thing.
03:01I only let her out for a minute. I can't believe she just did one.
03:04Oh, she's got form. Done it before. Vinnie'll tell you.
03:09Sorry, I know I shouldn't be here. You're Belle's family.
03:14Even Belle would understand.
03:17I hope she's all right. She's not coping, is she?
03:22Hey, this isn't right. We shouldn't be speaking about her when she's not here.
03:27Can't be easy for you, is it?
03:30It's not. It's all a bit of a mess, really. I still love her so much.
03:36Sit down. I'll stick the kettle on.
03:42Oh, enjoying that since we booted out the big house?
03:45Just trying to get a decent morning coffee, thank you.
03:48Bob likes cheap and nasty, unfortunately.
03:52Going well, then? Slumming it with the locals.
03:55Oh, Kenny!
03:59Paddy always makes me one of these when I've had a bad day.
04:02I mean, there's more whipped cream than chocolate, but beggars can't be choosers.
04:06Wish I had someone like that fighting my corner.
04:09Someone to tell everyone to back off with their opinions just because I'm having a kid.
04:13Stop what folk think. I reckon you'll make a great mum.
04:17You would. You'd be fantastic. You know it yourself, deep down.
04:22Oh. Hi.
04:25Can I interrupt? No. I don't think that's such a good idea.
04:28It's OK. It's not your choice what she does with this baby.
04:32Mandy, I'm sorry, but this really is none of your business.
04:37Look, I just wanted to apologise. You can't tell me what to do.
04:41I know, and I'm not, but...
04:43But nothing. You need to know that I'm thinking about it.
04:47Of course I am, but I don't think I want an abortion.
04:50I don't trust you, Ella. After all that you've done, I...
04:54I just can't have a child with you. I can't see any other option.
04:59Sorry.
05:11I still can't find her.
05:13What are you doing?
05:15I'm just bringing Piper back.
05:17OK. Thanks, but you can go now.
05:20He was just waiting till you got back.
05:23Yeah, of course I'll go. Whatever makes you comfortable.
05:27We need to nip to the shop, so we'll walk down with you.
05:31And I'm meeting Kim in a bit. Will you be all right if we go out?
05:34Yeah, of course I will.
05:37Will you talk to her? See if she's OK?
05:52Hi.
05:54How's Archie? Yeah, er, good.
05:57I'll let him stay up a bit longer. We watched a film.
06:00Yeah, he loved it.
06:02Yeah, he loved it.
06:04Thanks for making it so easy with him moving.
06:07And how are you?
06:09Are you all right, you know, considering it's our first anniversary?
06:15I'll just have to cope, won't I?
06:19I'll see you at the bridge later for my dad's memorial.
06:23PHONE RINGS
06:33Just the two of us?
06:35Thankfully, yes.
06:37They had this awful couple staying last night.
06:40Kept wanting to make small talk over breakfast,
06:43and there's only so many times you can nip out,
06:45pretending your phone's ringing.
06:47I bet you're missing enjoying your morning coffee in your own kitchen.
06:50I take it Rose is being her usual loud self.
06:54It's not just the noise, it's the swagger.
06:57She's swanning it about up there like she owns the place.
07:00The sooner you get home, the better.
07:02Coffee, Lydia?
07:03If you can call it that.
07:05She requested some Fancy Pants freshly ground Italian blend yesterday.
07:09I mean, fair enough if I'm putting up the king.
07:12I just think maybe you should look at shaking things up a bit.
07:16Quality over quantity sometimes makes a difference.
07:20Well, yeah, on your budget, maybe. I'm trying to make a living here.
07:23I could put a lot of business your way if you sharpen things up.
07:28Say what you will about Bernice,
07:30but she wouldn't have let standards slip.
07:32They haven't.
07:34I can't help it, can I, for the price of...
07:36Well, everything's skyrocketed.
07:38I've got clients that are always looking for a place to stay, that's all.
07:42I could do wonders for you on referrals.
07:45Message received, loud and clear.
07:48I'll get you coffee, if I dare.
07:51Well, this is a nice chapter in the life of Kim Tate.
07:56Look, Kim, you know me.
07:58I'm no snob, but village B&B, really?
08:03It's not very you, is it?
08:05You belong at Home Farm.
08:07I know where I belong.
08:09I'm just waiting to see how things pan out, patiently.
08:13Well, you can't leave it forever.
08:15She'll end up taking over the business.
08:18She'll end up taking over your life.
08:21Why are you still here?
08:24Thanks.
08:26Have you, er, been taking your tablets today?
08:29Oh, not you at all. I'm just trying to help.
08:31I've spoken to Cherry and Cain about this yesterday.
08:33Yes, I've been taking them.
08:35OK, well, Tom reckons you've not, so he's...
08:37Is he lying?
08:39He twists things.
08:41Yeah. I know what that's like, remember?
08:44Dad used to do it.
08:46Making out it was everyone else at fault,
08:48but never actually admitting, you know, how he was.
08:51It's like he had one face for me
08:53and then one face for everyone else.
08:57No-one sees Tom when he's in charge.
09:01Driving everything, calling all the shots.
09:04What, so he's, like, controlling, you mean?
09:07It's hard to explain.
09:09Yeah, but he's not abusive, though, is he?
09:13Look, be honest, Belle.
09:15Is he?
09:19Sometimes he...
09:22..says stuff.
09:24Means stuff.
09:26Oh, so he's verbally abusive, then?
09:29Look, he shouldn't be doing this, right? I'll talk to him.
09:31No, no, I don't want trouble, Vinnie.
09:33Look at the state of you. If this is his fault, Belle, then...
09:36Vinnie, please, just do not say anything.
09:39For me, promise.
09:42All right?
09:44Fine, thanks.
09:49It's barely lunchtime.
09:51You look like you needed one earlier.
09:53Yes.
09:55Ella's pregnant.
09:57And, er...
09:59..I wanted to get rid of it.
10:01I heard.
10:03She OK with that?
10:06Mate, I know you mean well, but this is my problem.
10:09Can you just go? I've got stuff to do.
10:11Nicely deflected.
10:13I appreciate your concern, but I don't need a lecture or a drink.
10:17Did I say you had a choice?
10:19But you didn't fall out with him, did you?
10:21Oh, nothing new. He just wanted to speak to Ella by himself.
10:24I need to go. I've got a client in five.
10:26Two minutes. We need to talk about honeymoon.
10:28Oh, can't we do that later? I'll be quick.
10:30I was thinking a road trip round Italy.
10:32But he doesn't well fancy.
10:34We deserve it.
10:35Oh, you had this, right, eh?
10:37We're going on a road trip round Italy.
10:39It'd be nice if we had a few grand to chuck round, wouldn't it?
10:43I could do with a week in Rome.
10:4510,000 fit waiters, them pinks 24-7.
10:48But what about Blackpool, yeah?
10:50Best fishing ship on the planet!
10:52We'll have a right gig.
10:54But we don't do fancy. It's not really us.
10:56Just because we agreed about a small wedding yesterday
10:59doesn't mean to say we can't go all out on a honeymoon.
11:02Went to Venice the first time, do you remember?
11:06Went to Venice the first time, do you remember?
11:08What could I forget?
11:10OK, I'll book the flights and the car.
11:12You have a look at the hotel.
11:13I really need to go. Right to the butler.
11:15You are a godsend!
11:17If you get five minutes, have a look at accommodation.
11:22Sorry, mate. Sorry.
11:24For?
11:25Oh, I just wasn't thinking.
11:27Prattling on about honeymoons.
11:29Pretty stupid, really, when things haven't worked out.
11:32I'm always here if you need to talk.
11:34Thank you.
11:39It's been stressing me out.
11:41It's so frustrating.
11:43Belle just got worse and worse with time.
11:46No-one knows what she was like in that cottage.
11:50I tried to open her and then...
11:52And now she's blaming me?
11:54I can't win.
11:56She's just not stable enough for marriage.
11:58Hang on. You can't talk about her like that
12:00when she's not here to defend herself.
12:02It's best her family know what state she's in.
12:04That's your perspective. I'm sure she's got her own.
12:06Yeah, you're right. She does.
12:08It's not the first time I've told you how worried I am, is it?
12:11No, but it's not fair that we're slanting a gossiping either.
12:14Always two sides, et al.
12:15I've got no idea what you're talking about, Vinnie.
12:17I do. She told me.
12:19Oh. OK.
12:21Everyone just keeps assuming that it's my fault.
12:23Why should I take the blame for her behaviour?
12:25She's the one that lied about the baby.
12:27Yeah, that's the real reason that we broke up.
12:29There was no miscarriage.
12:31She had an abortion!
12:50I cannot believe you just did that.
12:52I know, and I'm sorry, but I can't just stand here
12:54and let him accuse me of stuff
12:56when all I'm guilty of is trying to help you.
12:58What have you said to him? Nothing.
13:00Oh, apart from accusing me of being on the sort of fault here.
13:02Oh, I've got to go.
13:04Needed a farming skip there. Excuse me.
13:06How convenient. I'll leave just as it's getting heated.
13:09Maybe get the full picture before you ever go at me.
13:11Makes you look jealous.
13:13It's pretty obvious what he's been praying for these last few weeks.
13:16What?
13:18Belle and me breaking up.
13:20Come on, Vinnie.
13:22You've been sniffing round her for ages.
13:24Are you serious? We're friends, Tom.
13:26Just be honest for once.
13:28Have you been sleeping with my wife?
13:30Tom, stop it! Vinnie, come here.
13:32What have you said to him?
13:34He's bad-mouthing about you to Paddy.
13:36He said he was controlling you. No, I didn't. You said that.
13:38I said he likes to call the shots.
13:40I told you not to say anything. Just go.
13:50You and I need to talk.
13:53Ella killed a child.
13:55Who's to say she's not capable of killing another?
13:58Come on, you don't really think that.
14:00And who's to say it's even mine?
14:02After all the lies she's told, what if she's lying now?
14:05You're blinded by the fact that she covered up her past.
14:08Oh.
14:10This could mean another kid in your life.
14:15I cannot get attached to a baby
14:18when I do not trust its mother.
14:20When I do not trust its mother.
14:22Imagine it.
14:24Finding out that it's not mine,
14:26it'll feel like losing another child.
14:29Then do something about it.
14:31Do you really want to miss out on the second chance of being a dad?
14:41Look, I didn't want to say it like that, but I didn't have a choice.
14:44Maybe you shouldn't have made Vinnie think that I've been treating you badly.
14:47Now everyone's going to think you're awful.
14:49Talking about me behind my back to him.
14:51You just told everyone in the pub that I've had an abortion.
14:54Don't blame me. Blame Vinnie.
14:56All I've ever done is love you.
15:04Where's your ring?
15:08So...
15:09So I'm struggling to cope without you and you've already moved on,
15:12slagging me off to everyone in the process?
15:14No, I've not. Vinnie was just worried about me.
15:16Yeah, because he knows
15:18that you're not well.
15:20Even Cain and Charity realise that now.
15:22If they do, everyone else will too.
15:26No-one is going to believe you, Belle.
15:28So if you know what's good for you,
15:30you will stop saying things that aren't true.
15:33It's not like that, I swear to you.
15:35But you have spoken to him.
15:37Because I was upset, so, yeah, I spoke to him
15:39and he got the wrong end of the stick, which is why he confronted you.
15:42Why should I get hit in the neck for something I've not done?
15:45Do you have any idea
15:47how stressful it is?
15:50Thinking that Cain could just jump me at any time.
15:53I'm always on edge.
15:58I mean, I'm coping with it now, but...
16:01But what if I can't deal with it
16:03and...and I do something stupid again?
16:07It'll be your fault.
16:09Don't say that, please.
16:11You're turning everyone against me.
16:13I can't live like this. It's too much, Belle.
16:15OK.
16:17I promise I won't say anything to anyone else.
16:20Tom.
16:23Good.
16:25Because I don't know how much longer I can go on like this.
16:34Thanks for lunch. I'm enjoying it.
16:37Sorry about the Sarnies.
16:39I'll ask them to get some whole grain instead of white in.
16:42Have you finished your savouries, ladies?
16:44Yes, thanks, Bob.
16:46How are the Sarnies? Freshly baked, that bread?
16:48You'll be pleased to hear?
16:50Er, much better than the other day, thanks.
16:53We were just saying how fresh they were, weren't we?
16:56Excellent.
16:58You've made no man very happy.
17:05Thanks, Lydia.
17:07For making me realise why I'm putting up with soggy sandwiches
17:11and smalt up with randomers in hiking boots.
17:14And why's that, then?
17:16Keeps me closer to the people who matter.
17:19What good's a swanky room in the city centre
17:22when I can't keep an eye on what's happening here?
17:25You mean Will, don't you?
17:27I really did think he'd believe me over Rose.
17:31He obviously still doesn't.
17:33That's why he's waltzing around with her as if nothing's happened.
17:36So what are you going to do about it?
17:39Not stand for it, that's what.
17:48We miss your giggles and your singing.
17:51Dad tries to sing in the shower sometimes,
17:54but it's not as good as you.
17:57We think about you all the time.
18:00We know you're keeping us safe.
18:02We all love you, Grandad.
18:05It's gorgeous, mate.
18:07That was really wonderful.
18:09Rishi would be so proud of you.
18:12Now, shall we go and get that milkshake?
18:18He's a great kid.
18:24Er, Jay. Jay.
18:26Sorry, I've got to go.
18:28I've got to go.
18:31Er, Jay. Jay.
18:33Sorry, I need to be straight with you about something.
18:37What do you mean?
18:39I've been in touch with my solicitor
18:41and I've asked them to go ahead with divorce proceedings.
18:44Already?
18:46That was then and now.
18:49Today?
18:51On our anniversary? And me dad's too?
18:54Nice timing, Laurel.
18:56I just wanted to face things head on instead of plodding on.
18:59And what did they say?
19:01Well, this call's about mediation, so...
19:05Why? We don't need that.
19:07Well, it's the right thing to do if we need help with practicalities.
19:11It's best for both of us. All of us.
19:14These are for you.
19:16For being kind and telling me to take my time and think about stuff.
19:19You didn't have to.
19:21I wanted to.
19:23I really don't know what I'd do without you right now.
19:26I've thought about it.
19:28A lot.
19:29So you're keeping it, then?
19:31I'm keeping it.
19:33I'm keeping it.
19:35I'm keeping it.
19:37I'm keeping it.
19:39I'm keeping it.
19:41So you're keeping it, then?
19:43I'm really grateful, Mandy,
19:45to have a friend like you making me see sense.
19:48I never thought I'd have someone like you in my life.
19:55We're closed.
19:57Can we talk?
19:58I'm keeping this baby. You can't force me to get rid.
20:01Tell him to go.
20:03Just hear me out, please.
20:04Please, be quick.
20:06Why would I want a baby if I don't even know that it's mine?
20:09Are you being serious?
20:11Of course I am.
20:12Liam, can you please just go?
20:14If it's mine, and it's still a big if,
20:16then of course I'll support it financially,
20:18but I'm gonna need a paternity test.
20:21That's not too much to ask, surely?
20:24I suppose not.
20:26When you put it like that.
20:31I told you to keep it to yourself.
20:33You shouldn't have gone behind my back and confronted Tom in the pub.
20:35I trusted you.
20:36Who was gobbing off about you?
20:37What do you want me to do, sit back and nod along?
20:40Obviously not, no.
20:42He said everything was because of you.
20:44That you gave up and let the marriage fall apart.
20:46He was banging on, saying how unstable you were.
20:48I couldn't help it, Belle.
20:50You heard him himself, blaming you for everything.
20:52Because what? You lied about the baby.
20:54Just leave it, please.
20:55He said he was controlling you.
20:57No, you said that. They're your words, not mine.
20:59Yeah, I said he drove stuff, but only because he had to.
21:02Cos I was making bad choices in our relationship.
21:05He pushes buttons I'm a pain to live with.
21:07You said that. He twists things.
21:09No, cos he only just... Cos he gets frustrated with me.
21:11Belle, you made it appear he was abusing you.
21:13No, no, Vinnie, they are your words, not mine.
21:15And he has never humiliated me like you just did.
21:17No, he's the one who humiliated you in the pub.
21:19No, because it's raw for him.
21:21And what do you expect when you come for him like that?
21:23You need to back off. You need to see this for what it really is.
21:26I didn't mean for it to happen like that, OK? I swear.
21:28Just leave it. Leave it, Vinnie.
21:30Cos you're doing no good.
21:32You know, I thought I was helping.
21:34Vinnie, you're making it ten times worse,
21:36so you need to stay out of my life.
21:38Do you understand?
21:48Real-life drama on and off the racetrack
21:51with the owners, trainers and jockeys.
21:53Tonight at nine, it's champions at full gallop.
21:56Then Sunday at five past eight,
