Emmerdale legend warns that plan will 'end in tears' - but a shock follows
As a result of the hysterectomy she had recently, Sarah can no longer carry a child. The news was so badly timed, as a few hours prior she was excitedly talking to Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) about him being her sperm donor for the IVF journey.
Yesterday, Sarah was back in hospital as a result of Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) losing control of her car. Gabby had drunk an obscene amount of coffee that morning and felt dizzy at the wheel. She fainted, forcing passenger Sarah to try and bring the car to a stop.
In the hospital, Sarah broke down to Cain. She admitted that all she wants is to hold a little mini version of her, and hates that she'll have to live with the fact it will no longer happen, as well as knowing her Fanconi Anemia will shorten her life.
Cain's heart broke for Sarah. Determined to help, he then suggested that Sarah could look into surrogacy. It wouldn't be the exact same as carrying the baby and giving birth herself, but she didn't have many other options.
Once Charity discovered this, she wasn't impressed. Outside, Charity told Cain that he's not being fair by getting Sarah's hopes up, as the plan would not work.
Clearly needing a distraction from the grief he's feeling towards son Nate, Cain was absolutely adamant that he would make Sarah's dream come true.
In tonight's episode, Cain spoke to best friend and local GP Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) about surrogacy. Unfortunately, Liam said that the chances of Sarah being successful with an agency would be slim, given her illness and everything she's been through recently.
Frustrated, Cain relayed this to Charity, who wondered if it was a sign. More Trending
But when they sat down to tell Sarah this, both characters could not bring themselves to break her heart again.

Instead, Cain lied and said that Liam thinks it's a really good idea. Sarah, who had spent the day warming to the idea of surrogacy, was grateful and felt like there was some light at the end of the tunnel at last.
Sarah will not be able to find a surrogate through an agency, but upcoming episodes will see her discover there is another option.
Charity will impulsively tell Sarah that she could carry the baby instead – but how will she react?

The 7 things I wish I knew before attending Europe's biggest Pride
You could say I'm a seasoned expert when it comes to Pride. I've paraded through the canals of Amsterdam, danced along Wellington's windy waterfront, and marched in the pouring rain in Manchester. But nothing – and I mean nothing – prepared me for the spectacle that is Madrid Pride. Currently reigning as Europe's biggest Pride, Madrid takes over the city with a riot of colour, joy and glitter. Squares and parks become party zones, with stages hosting big-name DJs and performers. Almost two million smiling faces spill out into the streets to celebrate, make new friends and have a damn good time. And, at a time when LGBT+ rights are increasingly under threat, seeing such an unapologetic outpouring of love felt even more powerful. This was my first time, and after Hard Rock Hotels invited me to be Metro's Madrid Pride correspondent (official sash pending), it felt only right to share my top hacks for making your maiden voyage one to remember. Despite numerous paid events that the gays™ descend upon into the early hours of the morning – namely MyPleasure, WE Party and VivaPop – street festivities and stages are free for everyone. That means the outdoor stages, the parties in the plazas, and the parade itself are open to all. Security is tight but efficient, and once you're in, there are pop-up bars and toilets galore so you can stake your spot and soak it all up. With thousands of members from all over the world, our vibrant LGBTQ+ WhatsApp channel is a hub for all the latest news and important issues that face the LGBTQ+ community. Simply click on this link, select 'Join Chat' and you're in! Don't forget to turn on notifications! If you're set on the big-ticket parties, book early. Prices hike the closer you get, and most sell out well before the weekend. I spent a lot of time at Plaza de España and Plaza de Pedro Zerolo – two of the main hubs. €10 gets you a beer big enough to share (or not), and the entertainment is next level. I even caught Christine and the Queens for the five minutes they graced the stage. There's no doubt you'll find yourself in Chueca, the epicentre of Madrid's LGBT+ scene. The neighbourhood sprawls across a warren of side streets, and here you'll find vibey bars and cafés, as well as stores to get your favourite pair of budgie smugglers. It's easy enough to find a table in the restaurants – shoutout to Hermanos Vinagre for great bites – but bars? Less so. The truth is: they're rammed. Expect to queue for up to an hour for most spots. Entry is usually €20 with a drink included, but if patience isn't your thing, grab a drink from a corner shop and chill in one of the nearby squares. It's a vibe, and let's be honest – the al fresco scenes are often better than the clubs. The Pride parade is the pièce de résistance of Madrid Pride. It lasts a few hours, and because of the heat, it starts in the evening and goes well into the night. I was lucky enough to join a float with Hard Rock Hotels, and it was something I'll never forget. So much love, smiles and rainbows everywhere, not to mention the sea of 'Protect The Dolls' merch. Along the way, I made note of key locations to see the parade from. My recommendation would be to position yourself around Plaza de Colón – it's an open space with loads going on, giving you a great view of the parade and a prime spot to see the sunset, too. As much as I like to party, I need my downtime, too. Some hotels at the heart of the Chueca were packed. It was noisy and I can guarantee you won't sleep if you stay there (unless that's your vibe, then go get 'em). I stayed at Hard Rock Hotel Madrid, a boutique hotel about a 30-minute walk from Chueca. For the days I was feeling lazy, a short Uber got me from A to B in 10 minutes. The hotel has everything you need for a city break: modern, clean rooms with slick features like a shower playlist and a bed so comfy, it puts the one I spent a small fortune on back home a run for its money. Bonus hotel feature: Hard Rock Hotels Madrid gets into the spirit. On parade day, I was treated to their legendary Drag Brunch Madrid – a full-blown show with drag queens who'll roast you and then belt out a ballad. Add bottomless mimosas and more food than you could ever need, it's no surprise that this was another highlight. Exploring the hotel, it was evident the décor and brand has queer-coded influence – I spotted a portrait of Lady Gaga, an iconic Rihanna dress and a jacket worn by Madonna just hanging about. One of the best tips I got came from Jorge, a Madrid local who told me to check out the rooftops – he wasn't wrong. For sweeping views and a break from the bustle, head to Círculo de Bellas Artes. It's a few Euros to enter, but the view makes every cent worth it. Another top pick is the rooftop at H10 Puerta de Alcalá, perfect for a golden-hour vino and unbeatable views. Madrid in July is hot. And, if you've been to any Pride event before, you'll know that 'less is more' is the general dress code. This time, it's also practical. When I was there, it hit 35°C. I was showering three times a day just to survive. So, pack wisely. Portable fans are lifesavers (Burger King staff were even handing them out for free), and staying hydrated is key. My mate and I made a rule: one water bottle for every giant cup of sangria. It worked. Refill stations and fountains are everywhere, so bring a reusable bottle and save your euros for something more fun. Here are my five essentials: water bottle, portable charger, fan, SPF, and wet wipes. This is one I've learnt the hard way. If you can, don't jump on the first flight home. I extended my trip by three days and hopped on a first-class train from Madrid to Malaga (€65 and better than any UK train I've ever been on). Big seats, a full meal, endless drinks – bliss. My experience with Hard Rock Hotels didn't end in Madrid. In Marbella, their huge resort welcomed me with open arms. A taxi ride from Malaga had me in their grand foyer within the hour, and I was welcomed with outfits from Lady Gaga and Madonna that had me feeling right at home in an instant. The staff were unbelievably helpful and set me up on a Balinese bed for the afternoon, complete with cocktail in hand (can't recommend the strawberry daiquiri enough). Between morning yoga, a spa session and a stroll through the stunning Old Town, it felt like the post-Pride detox I didn't know I needed. More Trending And the food? Incredible. The breakfast and dinner buffets are loaded with options, while the signature restaurant Novayne (by chef Richard Sandoval) served me a chicken curry I'm still dreaming about. Coming from a Brummie-turned-East-Londoner, that's saying something. Now it's back to reality. I'm leaving Spain with so many great memories, new friends and a tan that will make my boyfriend unbelievably jealous. For those considering heading to Madrid Pride next year, I'll see you there. Fly direct from the UK to Madrid with multiple airlines. Flights run year-round from London, Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh. London to Madrid flights are approximately £210 return in July with British Airways, although some budget airlines may be cheaper. In Madrid, staying at Hard Rock Hotels will cost around €300 per night for a Deluxe King room. If you're heading to Marbella, stay in one of their Suites for around €500 per night. Travelling between the two locations is a breeze. A train will take you directly from Madrid Atocha Train Station (Madrid Estación de Atocha) to Málaga María Zambrano in 2h42. I travelled with Iryo and a first class (Infinita Bistró) ticket cost €66 one-way. From there, a taxi will set you back about €100 to reach the destination in Marbella. If you're flying back from Marbella (with Málaga being your nearest airport), flights can be as low as £30 one-way with budget airlines. Do you have a story to share?

Emmerdale confirms another death as killer John strikes again
Emmerdale's latest killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) really is a tortured soul, isn't he? Unlike your average psychopath he doesn't get any pleasure from killing. In fact what he'd rather do would be to save lives all day long and bask in the admiration of others. Unfortunately, with one mess rapidly leading to another, he's ended up having blood on his hands on numerous occasions – and he's about to add another victim to the list. Since the body of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) was found in the lake, John has been pained to see various villagers accusing each other of Nate's murder, because he knows he was the one responsible after accidentally killing Nate while trying to save his life after the barn fire. Nate's widow, Tracy (Amy Walsh), immediately blamed Cain (Jeff Hordley), who had beaten his son up shortly before Nate disappeared because he thought something was going on between him and Moira (Natalie J Robb). Cain blamed Tracy, and this seemed to have been confirmed when Nate's phone was found at Tracy's house, having been used during Nate's absence when Cain thought he was ringing his son. John had had the phone all along and planted it at Tracy's. As Nate's funeral looms in coming episodes, John is wracked with guilt that the two people who loved Nate the most are being torn apart by accusations and recriminations. So when an opportunity presents itself to put someone altogether different in the frame for the murder, John decides he can fix things, John style. By killing someone else. He's surprised when a man called Owen comes for an appointment with him at the surgery, because Owen is none other than the man John caught spiking Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley)'s drink. He throws Owen out of the surgery and this is witnessed by Robert, who thanks him for standing up for him – though Robert is still obviously wary of John generally. Later, Liam (Jonny McPherson) makes a house call to Owen, but he can't get an answer. Concerned for his patient's wellbeing, he calls the police, who break into the house and find Owen dead. More Trending And on the dead man's laptop is a written confession, saying that Owen was responsible for murdering Nate Robinson. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Cain and Tracy are soon informed of this development, and Liam gives the news to John back at the surgery. John manages to look suitably shocked, but is inwardly pleased that his plan has worked. But has it? One man who isn't taken in by this turn of events is Robert Sugden, who is suspicious about the coincidence that he saw John with Owen earlier. When the police start digging into Owen's background by investigating his medical history, Robert tries to find out more and Claudette (Flo Wilson) lets slip that John visited Owen's house shortly before his death.

Corrie's Carla shows her support for Lisa amid therapy - but a shock follows
Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers)'s current troubled state of mind in Coronation Street goes back to the death of her wife, Becky, who was also a police officer. The death of PC Craig Tinker (Colson Smith), who was killed while on duty, was especially hard for Lisa to deal with as it had echoes of Becky's death. She died while she was chasing a suspect when she was mown down by a getaway car. Lisa's grief was compounded by the fact that Becky had been under investigation by the police force's anti-corruption unit just before her death and this had put a strain on the relationship. In fact they'd had a huge argument on the day that Becky was killed, something that Lisa deeply regretted later as she never had a chance to apologise and make amends for the things she'd said. Craig's funeral, in which his colleagues and loved ones paid their respects, also made Lisa realise that the cloud of suspicion over Becky at the time of her death had meant she was denied the send-off she deserved. Carla (Alison King) persuaded Lisa that therapy could help her move on from these events. Although sceptical, Lisa gave it a try but was immediately on the defensive when the therapist broached the subject of Becky. In upcoming episodes there's an unsettling incident for Lisa when she witnesses a robbery at the Corner Shop and, rather than springing into action, she freezes. She later refuses to talk about this with Carla, who's puzzled by her actions. Wanting to be supportive, Carla encourages Lisa to continue with therapy, saying that she'll feel much better after a few more sessions. Lisa isn't convinced, but hopes that Carla is right.
