Ashley's rejection results in Laurel packing her bags to leave the village for good

EMMERDALE is a hive of activity as the locals prepare for Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) and Katie’s (Sammy Winward) wedding. Meanwhile, Robert (Karl Davies) has other things on his mind but is taken by surprise when Donna (Verity Rushworth) gives him a passionate thank-you kiss for the Valentine’s card she thinks that he sent her.

Despite the distraction, Robert begins to panic as he prepares to watch the woman he loves get married to his brother. Time is running out if she is to call off the wedding.

In desperation, Robert tries to make the bride-to-be see reason, begging her to cancel the big day. Frustrated and torn between her feelings for the two brothers, Katie insists to Robert that her wedding to Andy is going ahead and that their affair is over.

Meanwhile, Nicola’s (Nicola Wheeler) last ditch attempts to convince Ashley (John Middleton) to stop Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) from leaving the village fall on deaf ears, as the Vicar refuses to acknowledge his growing feelings for the dizzy cleaner.

Devastated that Ashley obviously doesn’t feel the same way, Laurel sheds a tear as she packs up her belongings in preparation to move to Finland. Will the Vicar realise he is about to make the biggest mistake of his life by letting her go?

Elsewhere in the village, disaster strikes when Viv (Deena Payne) manages to spill red wine down Katie’s wedding dress. White wine and salt only make matters worse and with two days to go until the wedding, will the bride be blushing in more ways than one when she walks down the aisle?

ITV.COM My Funny Valentine Sunday 15.02.04 It is Saint Valentine’s Day in the village and Donna is delighted to receive a mystery Valentine’s card, hand-delivered by step-dad Bob, and immediately assumes that her secret admirer must be Robert. Robert, however, has other things on his mind. Refusing to accept that his brother is marrying the woman he loves he sends a dozen red roses to Katie. Katie is not impressed and goes to see Robert and tells him she will never forgive him if he ruins her big day. He begs her not to marry Andy and she tells him that he is pathetic.

In a foul mood Robert puts Donna straight, in no uncertain terms, that the Valentine’s card is definitely not from him. When Donna finds out that the card was from Bob, who was just trying to cheer her up she is really upset. To cheer her up Viv suggests a glass of wine. After a couple of drinks Viv tells Donna she should try on Katie’s wedding dress to see what she’ll look like on her big day. Bob walks in on the pair just as Donna is about to give a twirl in the frock and Viv spills a glass of red wine all over the wedding dress. It looks she’ll have some explaining to do.

Laurel divests herself of her worldly goods as she prepares for her new life as an au pair to a wealthy family in Finland. When she returns to The Woolpack with the money she has made from selling her things at the car boot sale and buys drinks for Edna and Pearl Ashley is surprised to learn that Laurel is planning to leave so soon. Edna says pointedly that when some people make up their minds to do something they do it. Ashley takes the hint but he is still unable to bring himself to ask Laurel to stay in Emmerdale.
