Here's a full collection of 18 big moments coming up.

1. Emma discovers that Curtis is lying

ITV

Emma babysits Hope and Ruby for Tyrone, but panics when Ruby swallows one of Curtis' pills. Knowing how strong they must be, Emma rushes Ruby to A&E.

At the hospital, Emma explains to the doctor that Curtis takes medication for a heart condition. The doctor dismisses this, insisting that the pills are only vitamins and Ruby will be fine.

2. Emma demands an explanation

When Emma returns to the flat, she assures Tyrone that Ruby's scare was merely a false alarm.

Curtis then returns home and Emma confronts him with the pillbox, demanding to know why he's lying to her. Curtis is taken aback and struggles to give Emma the answers she needs.

3. Curtis' father has a decision to make

After being unable to get anywhere with Curtis, Emma approaches Dr Handley and asks to know the truth about her fiancé's condition. Dr Handley is unable to give anything away for confidentiality reasons.

4. Curtis finally confesses all

Realising that he can't keep lying, Curtis eventually tells Emma that he doesn't have a terminal heart condition. He explains that he started feigning illness years ago when his parents were getting divorced. Once he started, he couldn't stop. Emma is unable to accept this and tells Curtis to pack his bags.

Later, Emma is about to confide in Steve. Before she gets a chance, Steve explains that Curtis raised £4,000 for Oliver's fund – taking the charity money to the £100,000 target. Emma is left with food for thought, wondering whether Curtis deserves a second chance.

5. Emma joins Curtis at his appointment

6. Steve makes a decision that could come back to haunt him

Steve remains totally in the dark over Curtis' lies and continues to bond with him over the fund money.

Lydia explains that she had a relationship with Adam when they were at university. Adam confirms that it was years ago and he can't really remember it, but this vague explanation doesn't do much to reassure Sarah.
