Emmerdale‘s Laurel Thomas and Ross Barton give into temptation next week, as they get hot and heavy behind closed doors. But for how long can they keep their lusty liaisons from their neighbours?
At Dale View, Laurel steals a steamy moment with Ross, who is chuffed to have the restaurateur all to himself. But when Sam Dingle turns up at the lads’ pad looking for more dance lessons, Ross is forced to pretend that Laurel is there to help with his training…
“Ross and Laurel come about because we start these dancing lessons, which are really funny,” explains Charlotte Bellamy, who plays the smitten mum.
“Unbeknown to anyone, Ross is a really good dancer, and that’s how Laurel gets in with him. They salsa, and it all gets a bit steamy. But it’s all really light-hearted and fun, which we need.”
“I think it’s that Strictly Come Dancing thing,” Charlotte continues. “When you’re dancing with somebody and they can move their hips and everything, you don’t realise you’re in it!”
The week begins with Gabby Thomas drowning her sorrows while confiding in Dawn Fletcher about Ross’s recent rejection. Afterwards, Dawn has a word with Ross in the café, where he declares that there’s only one woman he has eyes for right now.
It isn’t clear to Dawn exactly what Ross means, but for nearby Laurel, it’s blindingly obvious – and she soon falls into his arms…
