Jamie comes clean in Classic Emmerdale

With Bob’s money in his account, Jamie makes plans to leave the village but Bob catches him mid-flit and demands to know what’s going on. Jamie is forced to admit that he’s locked in a custody battle with his ex-girlfriend over their dog, Snoop.

Bob’s dubious about Jamie’s tall tale but Jamie begs him to believe him, piling on the emotional blackmail. When Bob admits he’s finding it hard to trust his son, Jamie lashes out, telling his dad he’s a terrible role model.

Hurt, Bob offers the money, but tells Jamie if he takes it, that’s goodbye. Jamie takes the cash.

Later Bob tells Viv that he can’t risk being a rubbish dad again – he announces the babymaking is off!

With Jamie on his way to the station, Viv begs Dawn to help her – she wants Bob and Jamie to make up so babies are back on the agenda! Dawn agrees on condition Viv lets her drive to the station. Viv’s impressed with Dawn’s driving.

Jamie decides to stay in Emmerdale. He apologises to Bob and returns the money. Bob’s pleased. Jamie’s worried about Snoop and Viv tells him he’ll have to earn the money for the dog the proper way.

Desperate to pass her driving test, Dawn goes out to practise with Jo, but she ends up scratching Cain’s car when she’s trying to park. When Cain confronts her about it, Dawn stands up to him and he’s amused – and flirty!
