Emmerdale - Chrissie Sugden will act on her growing feelings for Rakesh Kotecha just as he faces problems in his own relationship.

The pair have grown closer since Rakesh agreed to help Chrissie fight the charges she faces for her role in the helicopter crash.

With Chrissie's personal life in tatters, Rakesh is also facing a huge amount of pressure of his own as he continues to hide the truth about baby Johnny's paternity.

With Johnny fighting for his life in hospital, Rakesh and Priya will struggle with their guilt over the secret they are keeping as he prepares to have an operation.

To make matters worse, Rakesh is left feeling uncomfortable when Adam Barton approaches him to ask what rights he has concerning Johnny's custody due to the fact that Vanessa is struggling to bond with him.

Although Rakesh agrees to help Adam, Priya is hugely concerned about Adam's legal query and warns Rakesh to do something before his lies come crashing down on him.

As Priya piles on the pressure, Chrissie acts as a welcome distraction for Rakesh when she makes a big admission. However, when Rakesh puts his arm around her, Chrissie reads more into his kindness than he realises.

Later, Chrissie calls Rakesh over to Home Farm to seek more advice from him, but it's clear that she could have an ulterior motive. With his romance in trouble, could Rakesh be tempted by Chrissie?
