 It was also confirmed that Carla would get a stand-alone episode, which has been compared to MacLeod's production at "Emmerdale", in which he created an episode focused around Ashley Thomas' (John Middleton) dementia.Commenting on this, MacLeod has added, "We're doing something a little bit stylised, like the Ashley story I did at "Emmerdale", but it won't be quite as extreme as that.It's a stand-alone episode that will be both mental health-focused and Carla focused.
