Charles opens up to Manpreet about his past in Emmerdale as Victor is up to his old tricks again

But can Charles stop pushing Victor away?

When Victor flirts hard with Claudette, Charles is thrown to see her so coquettish and later, Manpreet finds a troubled Charles as he prepares to spill all about their family history.

As he explains what happened between him, Victor and Claudette, Charles is measured and Manpreet is shocked to learn that Claudette was taken hostage. And Charles chokes back tears thinking his dad was up to his old tricks.

The next day, as Manpreet worries for Charles over his relationship with his father, a manipulative Victor gives sad eyes which leaves Claudette appalled that Charles lied about mending their rift.

Annoyed, Claudette confronts Charles over his relationship with Victor and Charles begrudgingly agrees to stop pushing Victor away. But will he be able to stay true to his word?
