--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zoe is forced to hand the baby back to Charity

Zoe (Leah Bracknell) prepares to flee Emmerdale with the children. But as she is about to hit the road, Scott (Ben Freeman) shows up and is appalled that she was prepared to do a runner with his daughter. Determined to stop her in her tracks, Scott blocks the path of the car.

After some persuasion, Scott eventually manages to convince a tearful Zoe that she will only make matters worse by taking the child away.

Zoe later takes the baby to Holdgate Farm to hand him over herself. She does so calmly, but tears fill her eyes as she watches an elated Charity (Emma Atkins) hold her son. Heartbroken, Zoe walks away, clutching the baby’s blanket to her face for comfort.

Later that day, Tom (Ken Farrington) tells Carl (Tom Lister) that he would really appreciate it if he could find somewhere else to live, now that he and Charity will have the baby. Carl agrees but is clearly preoccupied, and Tom is puzzled by his behaviour.

Elsewhere, Katie (Sammy Winward) struggles to settle back into village life after a furious Donna (Verity Rushworth) makes it clear she is unimpressed when her boyfriend Danny (Cleveland Campbell) offers Katie a room at his house.

ITV.COM On The Run Wednesday 21.07.04 Determined to run away with the children Zoe tells Scott he will have to come back later if wants to spend time with Jean. When he returns Zoe is about to leave. Seeing that the car is packed Scott is appalled by what Zoe is trying to do and stands in front of the car as she attempts to drive off. He tells her that she will have to run him down to get by. When he refuses to move Zoe breaks down in tears. Scott tells her that she will only make things worse if she runs away and could lose Jean or end up in jail for abducting Charity’s baby.

When the social worker arrives, Zoe says that she wants to hand Christopher over to Charity herself and they set off for Holdgate Farm. In tears Zoe hands the baby over and says goodbye to Christopher. Composing herself she gives Charity details of his feeding routine. Charity tells Zoe that she should keep the baby’s blanket. Uncertainly Charity holds her son and as Zoe walks away she says ‘welcome home Noah’.

Concerned about Carl Tom asks his son whether he is okay? Carl assures him that everything is fine. He agrees to move out of Holdgate Farm when Tom tells him that they could do with more room for the baby. Tom goes for a drink with Dean, an employee of his, who went to Romania with Carl. Dean tells Tom that he thinks Carl may be having trouble with a woman. Jimmy then speaks with Dean and is shocked when Dean reveals that Carl told him about Paul’s death during their trip. Dean tells Jimmy that he didn’t like lying to Tom.

Katie is delighted when Danny offers her a place to stay at Pear Tree Cottage. Robert warns Danny that Donna might not be happy about the arrangement. When Danny breaks the news to Donna, she tells him that Katie is a nymphomaniac and if he sleeps with her she will kill them both! She is in no mood to listen to Danny’s argument that Chas would have let her move in to the cottage anyway.

Nicola is surprised to learn that even though Simon and Tash have split up his ex is still on very good terms with Simon’s mother, the indomitable Lesley, and is in the habit of sharing Sunday lunch with her. Meanwhile, in the Woolpack Tash asks Val how long Simon has been seeing Nicola. Gossip queen Val soon puts her in the picture about Simon and Nicola’s bid for the shortest engagement in history world record.
