Paddy struggles with his grief
This week’s episodes of the soap have seen Chloe’s newborn son, Reuben, taken seriously ill. As the infant’s temperature skyrocketed, Chloe learned that Reuben may have bacterial meningitis. Mack, meanwhile, found himself torn between new wife Charity and being at the side of his newborn – but still illicit – son, Reuben.
As the parents reel with shock, Chloe and Reuben’s situation continues to bring back painful memories for Paddy, who can’t help but recall how he and Chas lost their own child to illness. Baby Grace was born to Chas and Paddy in October 2018, but died shortly after birth.

Former wife Chas attempts to support Paddy as he wrestles with his trauma, but Paddy’s feelings continue to get the better of him. Will Paddy’s pain knock him off his long road to recovery?
