Sally Webster must have hoped she'd seen the last of Greg Kelly (at side with Sally). He made her life a misery last year after luring her away from Kevin with the promise of a new life together. She went to hell and back when he beat her up and it took every ounce of her determination to escape his evil clutches and rebuild her confidence.

With Rita's help she gradually got back on her feet and she finally won custody of the kids from Kevin. But Sally's new-found happiness is smashed when Greg bursts back into her life, after being unmasked as the man behind Julia's blackmail plot, and takes her and the two girls (right) hostage.

On Sunday the police step in to start delicate negotiations and it's not long before the whole

street hears about what's going on at Number 13.

Gossip then spreads like wildfire about Mike's involvement in the saga.

Events inside the house take a turn for the worse when Rosie's safety is threatened. It's clear that Greg is mentally unbalanced and Sally is forced to make a split-second decision which could have serious repercussions....

"Greg is a bad episode in her life that Sally wants to put behind her, and she didn't ever expect to see him again," says Sally Whittaker, who plays her. "She knows what he's capable of and all she's thinking is: 'Don't you dare touch my children.'"
