Jealous Emma is quick to take action when it seems that James will win Chas back, coming up with two shock plans to keep
everything going her way.
Chas recently dumped
James after discovering that he had spent the night with Emma, but the
old chemistry between the pair flares up again when they bump into each
other at Bar West.

| A night out takes an unexpected turn |
Emma and James are visiting the gay bar with their son Finn to cheer him
up following his recent split from his boyfriend Darren. Chas and her
son Aaron Livesy also arrive for a separate night out by chance.
When both parties collide, James and Chas get a chance to catch up, leaving Emma secretly seething when she sees their spark.
Gillian Kearney,
who plays Emma, commented: "Emma leaves the bar, but then she
capitalises on a genuine event, as she gets knocked to the ground by a
group of youths and ends up cut. She then goes back inside and pretends
to have been mugged. Emma can't believe her luck, because James
is immediately her knight in shining armour. Chas is not so sympathetic
because she isn't stupid and knows that Emma is a drama queen. James
takes Emma home, they call the police and then she gets her hopes up
that they could get back together."

| James supports Emma |
Despite Emma's best efforts to win sympathy, she later realises that she
needs another plan when she learns that Chas and James have arranged a
trip to France together.
Kearney continued: "Chas rubs Emma's
face in it! Emma is sitting in the pub with Val when James arrives,
leans over the bar and asks Chas if she'll come to France with him. Chas
says there's no need to think it over, she'd love to go! Emma
just storms out, as she's humiliated and belittled. It's Chas who
becomes her focus, not James. Chas is the one that she wants to hurt. Straight
away Emma thinks of something she can do to stop Chas going to France,
and she does manage to stop her! But although Emma creates
complications, Chas eventually decides for herself that she shouldn't go
anyway. I think Chas just realises that Emma is never going to go away and her
relationship with James would have too many complications. Emma digs her
heels in and will never give up. I think if you get in Emma's
way and you stop her from having what she wants, then she'll fight very
hard. She'll use everything that she's got to turn the situation to her
advantage. There are people in the village she cares about like Val, who
she wouldn't hurt. But if it's to do with James, her sons and that
status quo, the claws come out!"
