THE good news for Cain is that he catches a glimpse of Debbie this week in Emmerdale (ITV) – the bad news is that it's on a TV crime show.

His daughter eventually turns up in person and admits she's on the run. As Charity and Cain try to work out the best way to help her, Sam is left on babysitting duty, which turns out to be the more dangerous assignment as two violent men burst in looking for Debbie and realise they can use her children as collateral.

Debbie is given until 5pm to pay them off – can she raise the cash and how did she end up in so much trouble in the first place? At least Cain is determined to stop her getting into any more mischief as he warns Ross to stay away. Somehow we doubt he'll listen.

Elsewhere, Doug tries to give Laurel a break by taking care of Ashley, and Robert insists he still wants to be there for Aaron.

Zak and Lisa consider going public, and Rhona is a little too honest during a game of Truth or Dare with Pierce.

The residents of Walford have barely had a chance to come terms with the deaths of Roxy and Ronnie in EastEnders (BBC1), but another disaster is already looming on the horizon.

The week starts normally enough with rumours that the market's future is in doubt – again. Carmel admits that there is a plan to move it, prompting Martin to go out on strike, although he fails to inspire any of the other traders to follow his example. Maybe they feel like they've been here before.

Billy and Jay end up stuck in traffic en route to pick up a body, but at least it gives them a chance to have a heart-to-heart about whether being on the Sex Offenders Register really does have to ruin the rest of your life.

Meanwhile, Tina plays truant from work to spend the day with Sylvie and a reluctant Shirley, and Kim chucks Emerald out.

But all these concerns are about to be put into perspective by a major incident.

In the aftermath, most of the residents rally together, although it seems Max could be working to his own agenda.

Losing Ruairi has, understandably, devastated Michelle and Steve in Coronation Street (ITV). The couple desperately need each other, but seem destined to drift further apart as she hits the bottle and seems to find fault in everything he does.

Instead, she throws herself at Robert, who is at least gentleman enough to realise that now is not the time to make a move on the woman he loves. Eventually, Michelle and Steve do unite and say a moving farewell to their baby son during a private funeral conducted by Billy.

Back on the cobbles, Nick and Peter's already unsteady truce falls apart altogether following an altercation that leaves Simon injured and in need of hospital treatment. To make matters worse, Nick is convinced that the truth about the identity of Leanne's baby's father will eventually come out, so proposes that they move to Edinburgh, away from prying eyes.

Alya considers betraying Aidan to help Adam, Ken has an announcement to make and here's something to make long-term viewers feel old – Tracy celebrates her 40th birthday.
