Trouble could be ahead for Emmerdale sweethearts Sam and Lydia Dingle after the arrival of Lydia's long-lost pal Craig.

Lydia bumped into her old friend while at a job fair last week, and his arrival has led to Lydia getting a new job.

During Monday night's episode, the pair seemed to pick up where they left all those years ago as they filled one another in on their lives since they left the children's home.

It is clear that Craig has done well for himself financially throughout his adult life, while as viewers know, the Dingles have always struggled for money.

However, that difference becomes ever more obvious, during the episode which airs on Tuesday 22 August.

Craig drops Lydia back off at home, following her shift, and his impressive car leaves Sam's son Samson in awe.

When Lydia arrives, Samon grills her on Craig as he looks to protect his dad, who is feeling intimidated by Craig's wealth.

Will Sam and Lydia be able to get past Sam's feelings about Craig?

Mary is trying to move on from the traumatising ordeal, but she is finding it increasingly difficult.

As Rhona tries to support all three of her closest people, she starts to feel the pressure.

How will Rhona cope with the demand for her time?
