In Emmerdale spoilers for Monday December 16 to Friday December 20 Brenda Walker gets the wrong end of the stick about Eric Pollard’s relationship with Kerry Wyatt.

When Kerry notices Pollard is struggling with his housework, she steps in to help. They head upstairs to get their clean on, but then Brenda comes home.
She arrives with leftover food, but when she hears them upstairs, she thinks the noises are something else entirely. Confused and heartbroken, can Brenda ever really trust Eric again?

Brenda and Eric are falling apart
It’s not been a good time for the couple recently. Eric couldn’t get hold of his usual medication and his new medication made him act impulsively. However neither realised that could be a side effect of what he’s been taking.
Eric proposed to Brenda and then splashed the cash on a lavish engagement party, plus a honeymoon cruise around the world. Brenda was particularly delighted when she realised they’d be stopping in Canada to see her granddaughter Molly.
Then the financial advisor’s phone number went dead, both Eric’s and Brenda’s accounts were completely empty and Eric realised he’d been scammed. The police said they couldn’t do anything as Pollard had invested the money willingly.
Brenda said she couldn’t ever get over it, especially when she realised he only proposed because of the influence of the meds. But she then vowed to stand by him, although later admitted to Bob she was only staying because Pollard is ill and couldn’t cope alone.
So will this latest turn of events be enough to make Brenda realise she’s can’t stay? We know actress Lesley Dunlop who plays Brenda is leaving, so will this be the thing that drives her away from Emmerdale?

As Will Taylor continues to scam Kim Tate in new Emmerdale spoilers, it all looks set to go very wrong when Dawn is dragged into it. Although Will is determined to protect his daughter, he can’t do so without giving everything away.
So what will he choose? His daughter or his vengeance on Kim?

Will reels Kim in in Emmerdale spoilers
Now, we’re not entirely sure who’s scamming who if we’re totally honest! Does Kim know everything and have a plan up her sleeve (we really hope so) or is she oblivious and thinking Will’s being Mr Romantic? Either way as the week before Christmas begins, the couple appear all loved up.
Kim is touched when Will suggests they keep their vow renewal ceremony intimate. And by that he just means the two of them. But Kim is a bit concerned when he doesn’t intend to invite family.
So she takes matters into her own hands and invites Dawn and the kids herself. Dawn is thrilled and says of course they will be there. Kim bites the bullet and also asks the family to move back into Home Farm.
After all Billy’s done, Dawn should be in charge! (Credit: ITV)
Billy throws a tantrum
Now, this is a timely invite because Jai soon gives Dawn and Billy a week to vacate Holdgate. The problem is, Billy is adamant he will not be moving back to Home Farm. Tricky.
Given everything he’s done lately, we don’t really know if Billy’s in any position to call the shots. However he remains firm there is no way he will go back there. It doesn’t matter that his family don’t have a roof over their heads, apparently his pride is more important.
They do get some good news that Evan could come home for Christmas, but the trouble is, he needs a home to go to!
Kim seems happy, but Will is worried his plan is going to go wrong (Credit: ITV)
Will worries in Emmerdale spoilers
When Kim tells Will the ‘good’ news that Dawn will be at their vow renewal, he’s thrown. The walls are closing in and he knows he needs to keep Dawn away.
Then when she turns up with her belongings to move back into Home Farm, Will is in a complete state. He desperately tries to persuade her not to come and live there again.
But with nowhere else to turn and no one else to house her family at Christmas, can Will really push his daughter away? Will he put his plot against Kim first? Or will he come to his senses and save Dawn?

Emmerdale tonight saw distressing scenes for Ruby Fox-Miligan as she had a panic attack after being all-but forced to forgive her dad for their past history. So what did happen between them?
Meanwhile, Ross realised Jade’s threats were serious, but he raced to rescue the wrong person, and Bob gave Pollard some advice.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday December 4.

Ruby’s terror over her dad was evident in Emmerdale tonight
Steph tried to get Caleb onside in fighting Anthony’s corner to Ruby. They invited Anthony over and Ruby was not happy at all. But everyone took Anthony’s side and Ruby was forced to agree to a cup of tea. Though she sat in complete silence and looked incredibly awkward and uncomfortable. Especially when they opened the memory box.
Anthony then launched into a speech apologising and blaming her mother for everything. He spoke about how close he and Ruby had been (just how close, eh?). He seemed genuine to everyone around them, but Ruby could not cope with the apology. She did not accept it.
She then agreed to put the past in the past, but her happy cheerful exterior was all an act. She excused herself and had a panic attack outside. It’s very clear Ruby is hiding something huge here – and her animosity towards her dad runs very deep. She almost looked scared of him…

Ross was desperate for cash
Ross tried to hit Steph up for cash. But he then summoned Mackenzie, Billy, Aaron and John to Aaron’s flat to find out who had stole Jade’s money. Suspicion fell on Billy with Ross sure he must have taken it. But Billy denied it and stormed out.
When they were alone Aaron confronted Mack – he knew he had taken the money. Mack wasn’t exactly doing a good job of hiding his glee over getting away with it so far. Aaron said he’d keep quiet for a cut.
Ross went to see Charity and told her what was going on. He suggested she take Moses away for a few days. But Charity refused to be driven out of her home.

Pollard wasn’t budging in Emmerdale tonight
Eric wanted to take Brenda for lunch – but she reminded him they didn’t have any money. He was trying to find any way possible not to have to sell the shop. Although Brenda insisted he had, Pollard was secretly telling any interested parties the shop was not for sale.
Brenda later confided in Bob, but when she all-but confessed she was only staying with Eric because of his Parkinson’s, Bob was horrified.
He went to advise Pollard he needed to sell the shop as it was his only hope of keeping Brenda.

Angelica fought for Tom
Angelica was impatiently waiting for another call from Tom when Belle arrived. She broke the news to Nicola that Tom has pleaded not guilty.
Angelica spoke to Tom again later, who manipulated her to get Jimmy back on side to testify for him. Tom pretended he didn’t want to get her involved, but really he absolutely wanted did want to involve her and seemed very glad when it worked.
What is this coat, Bob? (Credit: ITV)
Bob’s fashion mistake
Bob’s coat is not the one. It looks a bit like it should belong to Wendy rather than him. But he seems happy in it. And maybe it’s really warm for those cold, cold Dales nights.

ITV has revealed its Christmas Day schedule and Emmerdale fans are furious over the show airing that day.
Christmas is traditionally a big time for the soaps, with viewers looking forward to storylines that have been building up over the year. And with show boss Iain MacLeod recently promising the “most exciting” Christmas in Emmerdale history, the stakes are pretty high.
So when it was revealed this week that the soap will only air for half an hour on Christmas Day, it left a bad taste in many fans’ throats.

Emmerdale to air on Christmas Day
It has been confirmed that Emmerdale will air every night across the Christmas week on ITV. On Monday December 23 it will be on in it’s usual 7.30pm slot for half an hour. On Christmas Eve, it moves back to 7pm, but still for half an hour.
Then on Christmas Day Emmerdale will air at 6.30pm. This is an hour earlier than it usually shows. And it will only be on for half an hour.
Boxing Day we will get a full hour-length episode starting at 6.30pm and then on Friday December 27 it’s back to 30 minutes at 7.30pm.
Although this sticks to the soap’s usual amount of episodes, many fans have been left annoyed that there’s only a half an hour episode on Christmas Day.
Fans react
“Emmerdale only on for 30 mins whilst Corrie gets a full one-hour slot,” said one. Someone replied to them: “Not fair.”
Another added: “Especially when it’s a Kim Tate Christmas. At least there’s an hour installment on Boxing Day.”
“No hour-long Emmerdale on Christmas Day again. Total disgrace,” raged one more.Â
Kim and Will are planning a Christmas vow renewal (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale confirms a Kim Christmas
Show boss Iain MacLeod told Digital Spy back in September: “This Christmas, there is a huge surprise arrival on Christmas Day. As well as some life or death jeopardy on Christmas Day – but obviously there will be festive brilliance as we do every year – but I think it is one of the most exciting Christmases that I can remember on Emmerdale this year!”
He continued to promise “incredibly heartbreaking family drama with plenty of Dingle action. There is also some classic gothic antics at Home Farm – some skullduggery!”
And new spoilers have now revealed Kim Tate will be at the centre of Christmas 2024. Will is plotting against his wife after they recently reconciled. He’s in cahoots with her business advisor Peter and a mystery person to bring Kim down. And it’s all set to take off at Christmas.
Will asks her to renew their vows on Christmas Day and Kim is overjoyed. As she puts extra effort into making the festive season one to remember, does she know Will is plotting against her? Or will she be left heartbroken when she finds out?
For his part, Will is at least starting to feel a wave of guilt. But is it enough to make him stop the takedown altogether?

Emmerdale tonight saw Brenda Walker left distraught over and over again by Eric Pollard as he finally accepted he’d been scammed. And then she made a big decision about their future.
Meanwhile, Tom was smug when he called Angelica and realised she was on his side. How will he use this to his advantage?
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.
Things went from bad to worse for Brenda and Pollard (Credit: ITV)
Brenda stood by Pollard – despite him breaking her heart in Emmerdale tonight
Brenda had decided they were in this together, but Eric was still kidding himself that he could sort it all out. He soon realised he couldn’t when he found out his advisor’s number was no longer in service. They have been scammed. And the police can’t do anything because Pollard invested the money of his own free will.
Brenda was devastated, especially as Eric tried to placate her by saying at least they had a roof over their heads. But Brenda pointed out the deeds were in his name and everything she has worked all her life for was gone.
Knowing he needs to make it right, Pollard decided his only resort was to sell the shop. But Brenda was more concerned with whether he only proposed because he was hyped up on his meds and Eric confessed that was very possible. She was once again distraught.
But later she insisted she was not leaving and she would support him every step of the way through his Parkinson’s. Although as Brenda is actually leaving, we all know that isn’t going to happen!
Tom won Angelica over in Emmerdale tonight
Angelica was heading back to school and all was happy in the King household now Tom was out of their lives. But Angel insisted Tom was still family.
Tom phoned home and discovered he was calling Angelica and not his uncle Jimmy. But he was also relieved to hear Angel was on his side as he reeled her in and told her they would keep speaking. Smug Tom was filled with glee when he realised he had someone else to manipulate.
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Caleb took Anthony’s side
Ross and Steph got flirty in the Hide, but then Anthony arrived. Steph decided to fight his corner with Ruby again after she learned Ruby was ignoring Anthony. Anthony then managed to manipulate Caleb into taking his side too.
Steph and Caleb confronted Ruby (who was making her own Christmas wreath – not sure this is something Ruby would do), who was most hurt by her husband’s interference.
These two will never get on – especially when Ross finds out Mack stole the money (Credit: ITV)
Ross was under pressure – as Mack gloated
Ross went to see Charity, but encountered Mack instead. He wanted to pick Moses up after school and take him for a burger. But it turns out Moses has a VERY active after school social calendar with a birthday party and then bowling and then a sleepover at a mate’s.
Mack smugly told him he and Charity would be spoiling Moses this Christmas – but Ross still has no idea exactly how Mack got the money. Meanwhile, Mack splashed the cash on Charity’s Christmas presents wanting to spoil her rotten.
Elsewhere, Ross was feeling the pressure when both April and Jade rounded on him in the pub. April wanted to know why he’d ignored her since he’d been home and Jade wanted answers over her missing money.
Cut to Mack giving the cash to Amy for Chloe and Reuben. But he doesn’t want to see any pictures or know anything because it’s too hard being apart from his son. Probably should have remembered he had one, then shouldn’t he?

Emmerdale tonight saw Tom King’s escape plain foiled as Belle and DS Foy brought him down. But is it for good?
Meanwhile, Jimmy and Amelia both realised the error of their ways – about time – and Pollard’s secret was exposed.
Here’s everything that happened in a very eventful Emmerdale on Thursday November 28.
Tom was brought to justice in Emmerdale tonight
At last Jimmy knows what Tom is (Credit: ITV)
Jimmy saw Tom for what he is
Jimmy was struggling with understanding what had happened and still couldn’t quite believe Tom was guilty. But he soon realised he had to apologise to Belle.
Tom then arrived home and insisted he was prepared to fight Belle to clear his name. Jimmy asked him to just be honest if he wanted them to stay on his side. But of course Tom couldn’t stop lying.
Jimmy finally realised who Tom was and told him to pack his bags. Jimmy then went to see Belle. He apologised and told her he was ashamed of himself for not believing her.
Tom tried again and again and again to get Jimmy back on side, but Jimmy had finally seen the light. He told Tom he ‘disgusts’ him and once again threw him out. So Tom reverted back to his old tactic of pretending he was going to kill himself. But Jimmy saw through it straightaway and insisted it was over.
Tom lost it then and laid into Jimmy about being weak and stupid, he even said his dad Carl had thought the same. Jimmy told him: “You really are a chip off the old block”, referring to Carl King and his many, many crimes, his weakness, his bullying and his abusive nature.
Tom’s lies aren’t washing so he decided to leave (Credit: ITV)
Tom plotted to flee
Meanwhile, Amelia went to visit Tom and wanted answers over him being charged. But Tom wasn’t in any mood to talk and manipulate, he just wanted her gone. Tom then called Ollie and told him it was “time for plan B” – plan B was running away to Saudi Arabia.
Tom then told Amelia he wanted her and Esther to join him in Saudi Arabia once he was settled. Although she agreed, said she believed him and offered to help him get away, something in Amelia’s manner had changed – had she finally seen the light?
Tom stole Kerry’s car so he wouldn’t be tracked and told Amelia he was heading to the airport. She let him leave. But then she went to the Woolpack and told everyone Tom had done a runner.
Cain and Charity raced to stop him, but it turned out he had tricked Amelia to cover his back.
Belle did not give Tom what he wanted (Credit: ITV)
Tom and Belle – the final showdown
As he was driving along, Tom saw Belle walking and couldn’t resist pulling over. He told her she’d never get justice as he was running away – but one day he was coming back to make her pay. As she stood up to him, he couldn’t control himself and aggressively slammed her against the car.
Their confrontation saw Belle take none of his abuse as he tried even more to manipulate her. Belle had all the power as Tom told her: “Someone’s found her voice” – and it’s not before time.
It was Belle who walked away as Tom screamed after her that he loved her. But she just kept on walking. Yes, Belle.
And just like that Tom was caught (Credit: ITV)
DS Foy to the rescue again in Emmerdale tonight
Meanwhile, Cain and Charity realised Tom had conned everyone. At the same time he was meeting with Ollie who’d got him a fake passport and called him a cab to get him to a ferry.
Tom’s smug smile as he thought he’d got away with it was soon wiped off his face when DS Foy arrived at the ferry port!
It turned out during their confrontation Belle had slipped her phone into his bag. She gave the details to the police who tracked the device and rushed to catch him.
Tom tried to run, he screamed, he fought, he kicked, but there was no escaping justice. At last.
Upset Ella couldn’t believe the lies Chas and Liam had told (Credit: ITV)
Ella caught Chas and Liam out in Emmerdale tonight
Ella was clearly growing suspicious of Chas and Liam and was making things very uncomfortable for them. She dug for dirt with Mandy and found out Chas isn’t a fan of girl code, making her even more sure of what she thought she knew.
Chas soon told Liam they had to come clean to Ella, but they decided to spend lunchtime having a quickie instead of confronting the situation there and then. And Ella was determined to catch them out.
She burst into Liam’s and confronted him, forcing them to tell her the truth – or rather reveal it in scantily clad clothes. Ella launched into them both for lying and cheating and treating her like “muck”. Not strictly fair, but still. The truth is out now.

Pollard in peril in Emmerdale tonight
Pollard was pulling out all the stops for the engagement party and Leyla was excited. The bash then got underway at the Hide and Eric made a speech, surprising Brenda with a first class round the world cruise for their honeymoon.
As everyone speculated why Eric was suddenly splashing the cash when he has a reputation for being tight, Leyla noticed Pollard was not quite right. She followed him home and he confessed he’d invested everything – his entire savings – in cryptocurrency and his account was empty.
A quick call to the helpline saw Eric’s mood pick up, despite Leyla’s concerns he was being scammed. But later he made a huge gamble when he decided to invest some of Brenda’s cash as well. This will all end in tears, mark our words.

It all came crashing down for Tom King in tonight’s Emmerdale as he was captured while trying to flee the country. The walls were closing in and Tom knew the evidence was against him, so decided to leave – only for Belle and DS Foy to team up and bring him to justice – and hopefully, to jail.
But is this the last we will see of Tom in Emmerdale now he is behind bars? He’s broken his bail, so we can’t see him getting it again any time soon seeing as he is a proven flight risk. So what now – will he just disappear off-screen?
Not likely!

But this time, uncle Jimmy did not believe him. He kicked Tom out and despite Tom attempting several forms of manipulation including framing Belle, emotional blackmail and finally rage, Jimmy stood firm.
So Tom decided to resort to Plan B – escaping the country to Saudi Arabia with the help of his solicitor mate, Ollie. He asked for Amelia’s help in getting away, stole Kerry’s car and confidently drove off.
However he made a huge mistake when he couldn’t help but stop to taunt Belle.
Belle did not give Tom what he wanted (Credit: ITV)
Tom and Belle had a final showdown
He brazenly admitted he was running away and laughed that she would never get justice. But Belle Dingle was too smart to let him manipulate her. As he commented she had “found her voice” she said she’d just “had enough”.
He tried being aggressive, but she still didn’t give in. Eventually she walked away. He shouted he loved her, but she didn’t turn back.
Tom then got himself a fake passport, headed to the ferry terminal and waited to board a vessel to Rotterdam. However what he didn’t know was that during their confrontation Belle had slipped her phone into his bag. She gave the details to the police who tracked the device and rushed to catch him.
Tom’s smug smile as he thought he’d got away with it was soon wiped off his face when DS Foy arrived at the ferry port!
Tom tried to run, he screamed, he fought, he kicked, but there was no escaping justice and he was arrested for breaking his bail and carted away.

Has Tom left Emmerdale for good?
Well, the short answer is no. But don’t worry, we don’t have to wait too long for the final chapter of this story.
And with the special episode, the stage will be set for Belle’s harrowing storyline to reach its conclusion.
“When we first embarked on this journey we knew we wanted to show domestic abuse, coercive control and manipulation in all its guises,” said Emmerdale Producer Laura Shaw.
“We knew from the outset that Belle would need some sort of closure on Tom and we know our Emmerdale audience always look forward to our villains getting their comeuppance. We don’t want to spoil the outcome of this story and reveal what will happen to Tom, but needless to say, Belle’s going to be in a much better place by this Christmas.”
“When Emmerdale explained they hoped to include the real life testimonies of domestic abuse victims and survivors within these scenes we knew it would be the truest way for them to authentically close this storyline,” explained Lindsay Oliver, the CEO of the charity. “We hope these final episodes will continue to raise awareness about domestic abuse, controlling relationships and the fact there is help out there.”
When does Tom’s final episode air?
There’s a few weeks to wait before we finally see the end of Tom King. Emmerdale has not confirmed an exact date. However, speculation suggests it will all conclude on Thursday December 19. And when it comes, it’s set to be brilliant.
Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm, with an early release on ITVX at 7am.

Emmerdale detective DS Foy has become our hero in recent weeks as he fought to bring Tom King to justice. And finally it looks like he’s done it. Phew!
It was clear he believed Belle’s domestic abuse allegations from the start and he has fought her corner the whole way. Even as Tom tried to manipulate him, it became obvious that wasn’t going to work.
All hail DS Foy!
In fact, fans are so impressed with him they have demanded from the start he becomes a permanent character. And some are even coming up with romance storylines for him – with child killer, Ella Forster! A copper and a killer? That’s an interesting mix!

Detective Foy in Emmerdale
As soon as he heard rumours that Belle had been abused by Tom it was obvious DS Foy felt there was some truth in it. Last month he gently questioned Belle over her involvement in Tom’s axe attack and even though it was clear she was lying, he could see a frightened woman and didn’t probe too hard.
After doing a deal with Belle that he wouldn’t tell the police the truth, Tom then told DS Foy he was mugged with a very elaborate story about the horrors he had been through. But at the same time, Belle had double-crossed him and handed herself into the cop shop. She’d dug up the axe and revealed herself to be the victim of domestic abuse.
DS Foy arrested Tom for coercive and controlling behaviour. Although Tom insisted Belle was the abusive one and her mental health was the problem. But it was very clear to viewers DS Foy did not believe a word Tom was saying.
As Tom continued to try and outwit the police, he attempted to destroy incriminating footage of him spying on Belle. But Foy and his team recovered it and announced on Wednesday (November 27) they had enough to charge Tom. At last!

Fans love Foy!
DS Foy was a big hit with fans last time round – and it’s fair to say he still is!
“Please, Emmerdale, keep Detective Foy,” begged one fan on social media. Another agreed: “DS Foy needs to be a regular character!” Athird added: “Now, how can we get Foy written into every storyline forever?”
Others speculated on a possible romantic connection if he does stick around.
“Can we have Ds Foy as a love interest for someone?” asked one. Someone else said: “Whoever in the village gets to [bleep] DS Foy is a lucky [bleep]!!”
A third suggested: “Det Ella on the case. Get it on with silver fox Det Foy!” referring to Ella’s ‘investigation’ into whether Liam is sleeping with Chas.
A fourth said: “Make him a regular! Have him marry Leyla!” which might be a bit impossible, given she’s rumoured to be leaving…

It was almost like Carl King returned to Emmerdale over the last few days as his son, Tom King, and his unhinged behaviour continue to mirror that of his evil father.
In fact, the scales have even fallen from devoted Uncle Jimmy’s eyes after Tom’s arrest. Jimmy calls him a ‘chip off the old block’ tonight and he’s sure got a point.
So it’s a case of like father, like son, but which King is more evil? Let’s take a look at the complete list of Carl King‘s terrible crimes.

Killer Carl King in Emmerdale
Carl King was in Emmerdale for eight years between 2004-2012. He arrived in the village to spy for his family business King & Sons, snooping on Tate Haulage.
He set his sights on Louise Appleton, asking her out on a date, but when his wife Coleen turned up, things got complicated. That put paid to that romance.
And then things turned dark. It was not long after his arrival that he caused the death of local postman Paul Marsden. The pair were fixing a roof together and Paul started teasing Carl over his fear of heights. As they continued to mess around, Paul lost his footing and fell. Carl and his brothers covered up the death by moving the body so it looked like he had had an accident on his own roof, completely on his own.

Cheating Carl
Consumed by guilt, Carl ended up revealing what had happened to Chas Dingle. The pair started a relationship, but Carl’s wandering eye soon struck and he had a one-night stand with Chloe Atkinson. Chloe then became determined to split the couple up. She wrote poison-pen letters and Chas had soon had enough, ending things.
Chloe moved in for the kill and Carl obliged, but soon got bored and wanted Chas back. She, however, left to join the army!
So he turned his attentions to her cousin, Delilah Dingle. Although they grew close and did sleep together, his heart lay with Chas and he eventually wooed her back.
They made a real go of it this time, but that was much to the disapproval of his dad, Tom King Snr. And that led to…

Killer Carl King’s second victim in Emmerdale
The King family were at war as Matthew and Sadie’s rival company took on King & Sons. Chas was passing information on the Kings to Jamie Hope, whose sister Dawn Woods had died thanks to the Kings’ battle. Furious Tom insisted Chas wasn’t good enough for Carl and then bribed her to end things.
But Chas fought back and told Carl everything on Tom’s wedding day to Rosemary Sinclair. That same day, which also happened to be Christmas Day, Tom was murdered when he was hit over the head and pushed from his bedroom window. It was later revealed Carl had a confrontation with his father about Chas and hit him when Tom called Chas nasty names. Carl then pushed Tom away and he fell out of the window.
In the midst of all this, Carl started dating DCI Grace Barraclough, who was investigating Tom’s murder! So that soon got complicated and Carl decided to confess, telling Grace everything. She took him to the police station, but was hit by a lorry as she was walking across the road. Carl then got away with murder – and things ended with Grace, pretty badly!

Cheating Carl strikes again!
Carl eventually moved on and married Lexi King although he only married her because she found out the truth about Tom’s murder. Things soon turned sour and Lexi left him. Carl got back with Chas but that wandering eye fell on Eve Jenson, with whom he started an affair.
Chas found out about the affair and decided to expose Carl on her and Carl’s wedding day. She convinced him they were going to get wed (on Christmas Day again!), but secretly squirrelled all his money away and jilted him at the altar.

The worst crime yet
Chas began an affair with Cameron Murray who was engaged to her niece Debbie Dingle. Chas was also engaged to Dan Spencer. Carl found out about her affair and tried to blackmail her.
Chas pretended that she was interested in Carl again but really she was just trying to make him take back his threats.
It all came to a head on Emmerdale’s 40th anniversary in 2012. Carl turned really nasty and blackmailed Chas for the £30k she took from him. However the hate turned to obsession as Carl decided he’d stop at nothing to get Chas back.
Chas tried to keep him sweet by pretending she would run away with him, but when he realised she had no intention doing so, Carl flipped. He revealed he had killed his father for her. Disgusted Chas tried to flee, but Carl grabbed her and forced himself on her, trying to rape her.
Chas hit Carl on the head with a brick in self-defence. Believing she had killed him, she left him lying there. Chas even stood trial for his murder, but she was acquitted.
Meanwhile, what actually happened was Cameron went back and delivered the final blow that killed Carl who screamed: “I’m indestructible” as Cameron smacked him over the head and Carl fell to the ground, dead.
