Things have been looking bleak for Matty in prison, Dawn is struggling to cope with Evanâs illness, and Lydia made an awful realisation. But there has been one unexpected moment of fun in among all the misery. Hereâs whatâs been going on. Dawn forgot Clemmieâs birthday because of all her moaning (Credit: ITV) Dawn and Billyâs anguish Itâs been tough seeing Dawn and Billy coping with baby Evanâs leukaemia diagnosis. This week things got even trickier for the pair when Billy broke the protective âbubbleâ at Home Farm and the little lad ended up back in hospital with a temperature. Itâs not been easy for Dawn and Billy â and itâs not easy for us viewers either! In fact, this whole storyline feels like a slog. Dawnâs a devoted mum, doing her best, but sheâs being a bit, well, annoying. Surely itâs unrealistic to expect a whole family to put their lives on hold for what could be years? Kim canât run weddings at Home Farm, putting a big dent in their income. Billy canât do his personal training, even Clemmie and Lucas are being half-heartedly home-schooled, by people who donât know what a fronted adverbial is or how to calculate 10 per cent of something. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers And by the end of the week, Dawn had even forgotten Clemmieâs birthday (which seems unlikely, to be honest, as she loves her daughter fiercely), giving Rose a chance to save the day, while Kim was out in the cold. Sadly we feel Dawnâs constant whining is making us far less sympathetic to what should be a heart-wrenching story. Amy dropped Matty right in it (Credit: ITV) Mattyâs torment Thereâs not much happiness in the Dales this week and Mattyâs prison horror is heaping misery on the misery. This week, his wife Amy accidentally landed him in it when she inadvertently revealed he was trans to prison bully Robbo.Don't miss a single story!

The next thing we saw was poor Matty battered and bruised in the prison infirmary. Though shockingly, he admitted heâd asked his cellmate Les to beat him up as hospital was the only place he feels safe. Itâs a tricky situation for Matty, thereâs no doubt. Heâs determined to stay put in the cell, but frankly we reckon if it was us in that situation, weâd be running to that isolation wing as fast as our legs would carry us. And there is a bright side to Mattyâs torment â at least while heâs banged up, he doesnât have to listen to Dawn whining, eh? Samson is more scared of Josh than he is of Moira, which frankly seems a bit stupid (Credit: ITV) Kidnap! Meanwhile ferocious mum Moira was on the warpath, trying to force the truth out of Samson. She even went as far as kidnapping the lying lad â with some help from brother Mack â in an attempt to get him to admit Matty didnât stab him. But no, Samsonâs staying schtum for now at least. In fact, he even managed to persuade Moira he was going to confess and instead he dropped her right in it with the police! What a snake! We canât help thinking Samsonâs not being especially savvy. Is he really more scared of Josh than he is of Moira? Moira who killed Emma Barton and let her son take the blame? That Moira? Foolish choice, Samson. Foolish! Lydiaâs on to Samson now, though, and she can be just as fierce as Moira, though a lot less handy with her fists, so we reckon itâs only a matter of time before Samson fesses up. Which is good news for those of us who are finding new, evil bestie Josh, intensely annoying! Mandy and Rhona have become firm friends overnight! (Credit: ITV) Iâll tell you what I want Rhona and Mandyâs odd feud seemed a bit forced at first and we werenât totally on board with it. BUT! What we were totally on board with was the making up. The pair were set up by barmaid Gail after Marlon and Paddy begged her to sort out the beef between them. And it worked! Before long, the women were necking drinks and sharing stories, and heading into town. In fact, we didnât see them again until they were staggering home in the early hours â crossing paths with Moira and Mack whoâd been at the cop shop. When Rhona woke up at Paddy and Mandyâs later, she was in a bad way! She even discovered she had a sore back. âWhat did I do?â she asked. What she did â apparently â was get a tattoo of a Spice Girl! Possibly, Posh. Maybe Sporty. Mandy wasnât sure. Either way, it was some much-needed light-relief in the midst of all this weekâs misery! Zig-ah-zig-ah, indeed.
