ITV.COM Jack rebuilds his family Tuesday | 24.06.03 Shell-shocked dad Jack Sugden begins to build bridges with family. The father-of-three has been struggling to cope in the aftermath of daughter Victoria's health scare and wants to make things right again. In order to create an atmosphere of harmony in their household, Jack knows he has to make his peace with adopted son Andy. The pair have been at loggerheads ever since Andy took over Butler's Farm – with Jack as his guarantor. The kindly estate manager was worried of his son when he moved in to the farm with young lover Katie Addyman because he knows how difficult running a farm can be. But the terror of Victoria's appendicitis scare has made both men put the quarrels in perspective – much to the relief of those around them. Clive Hornby, who plays the stressed out Jack, explains, "Jack is interfering on the farm because he sees Andy getting everything wrong. "Although Jack blanks Andy for a while at the hospital, they eventually sit down and have a good chat. I think Jack is really missing farming."
