In this exclusive sneak peek of the next episode from Carrigstown, Carol is taken aback when Yates sticks up for her.
Coming up in Sunday's Fair City, Yates invites Carol to the Garda social, but it all goes horribly wrong when the gardaí loudly gossip about her.
Carol offers to leave, but Yates isn't having any of it.
He takes her by surprise when he says: "Allow to introduce everyone, this is Carol Foley my partner.
"Anyone has a problem with that, has a problem with me."
How will Carol react after being referred to as Yates' partner?
