Emmerdale spoilers for tonight reveal that Chas Dingle fears son Aaron could expose her affair.
Fans know that Chas – played by Lucy Pargeter in the ITV soap – has been secretly involved with Al Chapman, behind Paddy’s back.
And she was with her lover when her mum, Faith, died two weeks ago.
Chas was also unwittingly the reason Aaron’s half-sister, Liv, was crushed to death in last week’s storm.
Liv was on her way to look after Chas and Paddy’s daughter, Eve, when tragedy struck.
Paddy had asked for the favour after hearing that Chas had been taken to A&E after being injured earlier in the storm.
A runaway caravan slammed into Liv, crushing her and leaving paramedics unable to save her.
Emmerdale spoilers: Will Aaron spill the beans?
Aaron is obviously furious with his mum, but Chas is more concerned that he will tell Paddy about her infidelity.
She’s left shaken tonight when Aaron lashes out at her.
Later this week, viewers will see Paddy urge Aaron to thrash things out with Chas. He reluctantly agrees but accuses Chas of still being with Al.
Chas furiously denies his claims and ends up emotionally blackmailing Aaron into backing down.
She’s relieved when her words seem to push Aaron to leaving the village and returning to Italy.
But when Paddy tells her he’s sad Aaron is leaving so soon, he soon realises not everything is adding up and starts to worry.
Will Paddy work out for himself the real reason behind Chas and Aaron’s rift?

Could they even cope with another tragedy?
Elsewhere, Bernice organises a clear-up squad in the village to deal with the fall out from the storm.
But it’s not long before she’s ruffling Bob’s feathers.
