Emmerdale - Gordon Livesy will hatch a twisted plan as he appears in court for his plea hearing.

As the day of Gordon's hearing arrives, Aaron is unable to hide his happiness when Robert Sugden turns up to support him. However, Aaron's relief is short-lived when he sees Gordon behaving like he's seriously ill for the court's benefit. 

With his previous battle against cancer to draw on, manipulative Gordon pretends to collapse, throwing the hearing into jeopardy and leaving Aaron horrified.

With Aaron full of uncertainty following Gordon's scam, he faces more turmoil as his sister Liv confronts him with some tough questions over his accusations about their dad.

After Liv accuses Aaron of being a liar, he is emotionally exhausted as he tells her exactly what happened to him, but the teen soon decides to dig for more answers herself.

Not content with Aaron's side of the story, Liv tracks Gordon down and questions him over the allegations. Gordon denies everything and leaves his daughter in turmoil as he tries to get her on side, while a frantic Aaron desperately tries to reach her.

Although Aaron manages to rescue Liv from the situation, she later meets up with her father again just after her mum Sandra has finally gone to the police to give a statement on Gordon's abuse of Aaron. Will Liv betray her brother or stand by him?
