Emmerdale, Lachlan White's father Donny has something to hide when he arrives in the vilage for the first time next week.

Lachlan's mother Chrissie has been determined to keep Donny well away from the controversy surrounding their son, but she finally cracks and makes contact with him next week after realising that she cannot cope with the situation alone.

Shocked that Lachlan still isn't showing any remorse for his assault on Alicia Metcalfe, a concerned Chrissie asks Donny to try talking some sense into him.

Chrissie is relieved when Donny shares her own attitudes towards the situation and promises to help, but her jealous husband Robert Sugden isn't happy to see them getting along so well.

Donny has some success when he uses underhanded methods to convince Lachlan to go for counselling, but viewers soon learn that he is hiding a secret of his own when he starts receiving unwanted calls and texts from a mystery contact.

A rattled Donny tells the person in question that he needs more time, but he later gets a warning when he is bundled into the back of a car and beaten up.
