Emmerdale: Things seemed to calm down significantly in the Dales this week, but then again that wouldn't be hard after last week's electrifying events now would it? The height of excitement came toward the end of the week when a mysterious intruder ended up being treated on Moira's kitchen table. Who knew the Bartons had such shady acquaintances, eh? It really made that proposal from Cain seem like a distant memory. Meanwhile Paddy spent most of the week trying to tell Rhona the truth about himself and Chas. She seemed to take the whole thing quite well actually, but then again she didn't have to watch it like we did now, did she? Elsewhere there was a bit of bad news for young Amy on both fronts, with Andy telling her he wasn't exactly ready to shack up and play house, and her future with Kyle slipping further and further away. Elsewhere Alicia was still recovering from her wounds, Priya was licking hers, and that Dan, Kerry, Ali baby business rumbled on as per usual.

Coronation Street: There was a bit of a crisis on the cobbles this week as Hayley took a bad turn after her big fight with Roy. Mrs Cropper had barely been shacked up with Fiz and Tyrone for 24 hours when she collapsed in the kitchen and had to be rushed to hospital. Roy was at her bedside in 0.5 seconds and just when it looked as though the pair had patched things up, he only went and revealed that he still wasn't going to support her with that rather difficult choice of hers. Meanwhile, another husband was causing a fair bit of hassle on the street: Dennis sold Rita's ring to Tracey only for Tina to end up in the middle of a catfight after buying it back. While poor Rita was left reeling when Tracey spilled the beans, Tina got her revenge but stuffing a pair of lacy knickers into Rob's van for yer wan to find. Oh, and amid all that madness Tommy finally made his off screen exit. In fairness, we'd probably walk out too if we were told we'd have to live with David Platt for the foreseeable future. Audrey and ET were still giving him the cold shoulder, while Norris hovered around in the hopes of getting the inside story.

EastEnders: Michael Moon upped the creep ante this week as he convinced naive nanny Alice that she really did want to drug Janine and run away with himself and Scarlett. And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for the pesky kid copping on just in time to save herself from a life in the slammer. Nothing says I love you like framing someone for murder now, does it? Meanwhile Whitnaaaay finally got her dream job, but Dirty Den's grandson decided that he didn't like being told what to do and convinced his mammy that the new teaching assistant had been physically abusing him at school. Of course Sharon Watts was round shouting the odds in no time, while David jumped at the opportunity to get on the young wan's good side. He held the fort as her world crumbled around her, made a few dodgy deals with Lauren Branning, and was stopped firmly in his tracks when Carol arrived back unannounced. Now, all we need is Bianca to run in screaming the odds and we're sorted... Oh, and Ian's kids finally discovered his big secret. Needless to say, they weren't at all surprised.
