“He’ll be rushed to hospital after the horror crash but that’s just the beginning of his problems.

Robert has been desperate to keep the women from finding out about each other and has ended up engaged to both of them desperate to keep his relationship with Michelle and his baby with Vicky.
But after a series of near-misses the accident could be the thing that puts them in the same room together.
