FLOORED by her mother's cancer diagnosis, Chas Dingle has taken Al Chapman as an on-off lover.
Next week, the Emmerdale resident played by Lucy Pargeter makes another devastating decision after resuming their affair.
The Woolpack pub manager tried to do the right thing by ending the illicit romance but couldn't stay away from him for very long.
The businessman portrayed by Harry Potter actor Michael Wildman has also kept the affair hidden from his own partner, Kerry Wyatt.
And being caught by Belle Dingle didn't stop the lovers from carrying on, although their physical relationship is leading to something more meaningful despite their respective commitments to other people.
Coming up on ITV, a post coital Al and Chas revel in their intimacy.
