CRAIG rocked up the village and immediately rekindled his bond with Lydia Dingle.
Next week, the Emmerdale favourite played by Karen Blick makes a risky move with her childhood sweetheart.
Lydia and Sam Dingle (James Hooton) have been desperately trying to make ends meet, particularly due to the birth of their granddaughter Esther last year.
But when Lydia asked Kim Tate (Claire King) for more hours, she was given a stern refusal, prompting her to attend the job fair in the eponymous village.
This is where she bumped into someone from her past, Craig (The Girl Before star Ben Addis), who she knows from the children's home.
Coming up on ITV, Sam and Lydia discuss Craig’s reappearance before she reconnects with him at The Hide.

Craig has a job offer for Lydia and he soon follows through with it.
The pair are soon filling each other in on their lives since both of them were at the children’s home and they fall back into their easy rapport.
Later on, Samson (Sam Hall) is in awe of Craig’s car as he drops Lydia back home.
Samson grills Lydia about Craig, overawed by his wealth whilst Sam is somewhat intimidated.
