Tues 2 Aug: Eve leaves Emmerdale

written by Andrew Kirk, directed by Tracey Rooney

As she is short-staffed, Diane agrees to let Eve work a shift. However, Chas is furious when she sees her behind the bar and Charity is amused as Chas gives Eve a big shove. Chas is forced to back off when Edna enters, but Eve continues to wind Chas up and tells her she's going to Mexico to stay with Scarlett. Edna is shocked to hear the news.

Later at the cottage, Edna tries to persuade her to stay, but is saddened to see Eve has made up her mind and hugs her as she leaves.

Meanwhile, still with Jacob, Leyla continues to ignore David's calls. David tries to keep perspective, but Alicia worries and heads out to look for them. Leyla eventually answers and David tries to talk sense into her, but is concerned when she tells him things would be simpler if Jacob knew the truth about her being his real mum. She then hangs up, leaving David horrified that Leyla is about to do the unthinkable and tell Jacob the truth.

Elsewhere, Diane has reservations when Chas asks if she and Aaron can move into the pub; when Amy tells Zak the truth about Jared, he warns her that she must face up to him before it gets out of hand; Pollard and Val are disappointed to learn they will not be able to get any insurance pay-out as Pollard didn't have receipts for the jewellery; Cameron tries to put Debbie's mind at rest as she worries about what's wrong with Sarah; while Charity hints to Chas about her plan to land Nikhil in it while she and Jai are away.

Catch up with what you missed on Tuesday

What we thought...

Nice shot of Nandos there.

David still sticks up for Leyla despite everything he's done to her.

Not the best idea you've ever had Diane, giving Eve a shift in the bar

Val and Eric's nerves are shot...that will be nothing to how they are in a couple of weeks time.

Eve showing off her people skills to Charity whereas Chas is tempted to show off her right hook

Something really creepy about Jared

That's Amy's usual face, Zak

Andy looks like he's lost weight...well except for on his arms.

Cameron's got nice arms too. Mmmm Andy and Cameron arm wrestling. I'll leave with that thought for a mo.

Simpler for you maybe Leyla, but not for little Jakey.

I've been in that park. A woman got her boobs out.

Firstly, Eve you bitch! secondly, when did she decide to go to Mexico; and thirdly erm she's skint so how is she going to afford it?

Not giving Aaron a choice...that's your first mistake Chas.

Nice scene with Eve and Edna but flaming hell that was quick. Not even going to see her get in the back of a taxi.

Really love Zak and Amy. One of those odd friendships that works really well. Like Rosemary and Belle.

Leyla's lying getting out of hand now; its like she doesn't even know the truth any more.
