Eve has asked her mum to visit as she has been encouraged by the adoption agency to get a reference from a relative. Naturally, the atmosphere is strained from the off. ‘Norma is very uptight and a bit of a narcissist,’ explains Heather Peace, who plays Eve. ‘She commands the room and decides what the mood is. ‘It’s very obvious that she…

Something tells us it’s going to be a long time before Paddy and Marlon are larking about, playing zombie games again. This week, Paddy is panic-stricken to discover his dad Bear is missing, and, as for Marlon, there might be drama of a similar magnitude when he reconnects with daughter April, who’s leading a secret life as a drug dealer. Bear, you’ll recall, left the village in July after his son chucked him out.

The pensioner claimed he was off to Ireland, but us viewers know that was a lie, and we later saw him on the edge of the village,…
