As for what's going on this week...

Belle Dingle and Jamie Tate's affair has been bubbling away for months now, but when Cain Dingle arrives home from a trip and learns they're still seeing each other, she's forced to make the ultimate sacrifice.

In this Montague/Capulet scenario, Belle has to choose between her love and her family...and Dingle patriarch Zak is not prepared for her decision.

Elsewhere, while Mandy Dingle tries her best to prove to her son Vinny that his estranged dad Paul is no good, she's left red faced when her accusations against him prove baseless.
