It was the jaw-dropping twist that few saw coming, but Celia is the one who’s been masterminding Ray’s drugs operation.

The fearsome farmer suddenly turned on April, threatening to kill her if she told the police the truth about Leo’s overdose. Then came the next shocking revelation when viewers discovered Celia is Ray’s mum.

Next week, the evil pair are pushing forward with their plans to use April and Dylan. Ray overhears Dylan telling Paddy he’s passed his practical driving text. He offers his congratulations before telling Dylan he needs to work extra hard to pay back the money he spent on lessons. Dylan asks Jai if there are any driving jobs going at the Depot and is pleased to be offered a trial shift to Hull.

Later, Ray reports back to Celia. He confirms Dylan will act as their driver on their next job, but Celia wants April to be busy too.
