Despite her concerns, Victoria paid a visit to Robert in prison and heard him out. Torn-up about this she revealed the truth to John in hospital, but claimed she still believed him.

Aaron Dingle is in fresh danger
Last week, John made the decision to strike again and claim his husband’s life for good this time – to keep him silent. It was revealed yesterday (September 16) that doctors were preparing to wake Aaron up from his coma.
John makes another attempt to kill his husband before he can regain consciousness. However, it does not go to plan, and Aaron survives once more.
Mack’s fate is revealed to Chas
Having been woken up from his coma, Aaron manages to tell Chas that John “has Mack”. He has been chained up for quite some time now, so who knows what state he will be in if Mackenzie is finally found.
Gabby is confronted over her dark secret
Bernice made a surprise return just in time for Gabby’s wedding, however, she has been needling her daughter over her dark secret. That being she cheated on Vinny while visiting her mother in Portugal.
It leads to a major fight between the pair as Gabby ‘lets rip’ at her mum.
BOb and Bernice grow close
Following her fight with Gabby, Bernice seeks out Bob for a comforting shoulder. They reminisce about the past and potentially reignite the old flame – including kissing.
Could Cain be in danger?
Realising that his attempt on Aaron’s life had failed, John checks himself out of hospital with the help of Cain and the episode ends with the pair getting in a car and driving away. Victoria arrives in a bid to stop John leaving, following the revelation about Mack, but is just two late.
Could Cain be at risk from the killer? We will have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
