Emmerdale's Lydia Hart offers her expertise to Jai Sharma next week as Archie Breckle remains a cause for concern.
Lydia (Karen Blick) agrees to have a chat with the traumatised youngster, who hasn't spoken a word since the recent death of his mum Rachel.
Earlier this week, viewers saw Jai (Chris Bisson) realise that he needed to consider professional help to tackle Archie's grief.
Before getting a stranger involved, Jai decides to give Lydia a chance to help with the worrying situation.

Lydia used to be a grief counsellor and so sits down for a chat with Archie during an informal visit to Mulberry Cottage.
What to Read Next
With Jai at a loss over how to help his son, all eyes are on Lydia to see if she can make a breakthrough. Will Lydia have any luck or could the person to help be someone more surprising?
Archie's return scenes aired earlier this month, as Dan Spencer brought him back to the village to live with Jai.
Rachel died abruptly off-screen, closing the door on a future return for the character, who was last seen in 2015.

Addressing her fans on Instagram recently, Gemma Oaten – who played Rachel – said: "And so Rachel has joined her soap family in the sky. What a journey it's been.
"I got the role of Rachel Breckle in @emmerdale within a year of graduating from Drama school and it changed my life. I always dreamed I'd be part of the show one day, and as many of you know my struggles as a teen, you'll understand why it really was a dream come true.
"Forever grateful for those four years playing her and the comfort of those jogging bottoms and hoodie (perhaps not so much the scrunchy). Thanks for all the lovely comments since the news came out and for all the support I've had since I left the show in 2015. You're a lovely bunch!
"End of an era...such a privilege to have worked with so much talent and also our never forgotten Shirley Stelfox, Kitty McGeever, Freddie Jones and Richard Thorpe. Such an honour."
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Monday, September 30 and Tuesday, October 1 at 7pm on ITV.
