ON THIS DAY

6216 — Ashley attacks his elderly father Sandy.

19th April 2012: Laurel continues to plead with Sandy to confide in her, but he's adamant that there's nothing to tell. Soon afterwards, Laurel visits Rachel to find out what she said to social services about Sandy. The awful reality starts to sink in for Laurel when Rachel's version of events starts to make sense. At the same time, Ashley grows agitated, questioning Sandy about where Laurel's concerns have come from. Ashley then rushes out to find Laurel and is terrified to see her chatting to Rachel. Ashley returns home and becomes increasingly threatening towards Sandy, until he finally snaps and hits him. A shocked Laurel stands in the doorway, having seen everything.
