Kay Mellor's impassioned Sunday night drama, The Chase, returns to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One for an extended second series this summer with more sexy, stormy stories from the Yorkshire-based veterinary practice.

Rebekah Manning (Rocketman) and Christian Louis Cooke (Where The Heart Is) are Claudie's (Michelle Holmes) siblings, Paula and Liam.
