  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: John was exposed, Mandy took her power back and Ross was beaten up again

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: John was exposed, Mandy took her power back and Ross was beaten up again

    Emmerdale tonight revealed the fallout from the fight as Ross took another beating and the person who made the call to the cops was revealed – and there were no surprises there.

    Mandy also decided to take on Tina, but can she win?

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Friday November 8.

    The fight club fallout continued in Emmerdale tonight

    Ross had nowhere to turn

    Cain told Ross to pack his bags and get out. It then seemed everyone just thought Ross had actually upped and left without saying goodbye, but really he’d been beaten to a pulp and left barely conscious over the missing money and the police showing up at the fight.

    Billy and Dawn found him and helped him home, where Charity was still fighting Ross’s corner to Cain. Seeing him bloodied and beaten did little to evoke sympathy in Cain, but Charity pestering him did. Cain relented and let Ross stay.

    Ross obviously took Charity’s support as meaning she was definitely still into him and tried his luck again. Meanwhile Mack had the wind taken out of his sales when Ross revealed he was staying, but was still secretly smug about the money he has stashed away.

    Billy and Dawn in trouble

    Things were no better between Dawn and Billy. Billy knows he’s really messed up. And there isn’t really any way to put it right, despite his only real line at the moment being: “Look, Dawn, I’ll fix this,” he actually doesn’t have a hope in hell of fixing it.

    Jade turning up only made things worse as she demanded her money back. But her threats didn’t scare Dawn who gave as good as she got and threw Jade out.

    Will Jade work out who really has her cash? Or will Billy and Dawn suffer some more before Mack saves them?

    John was exposed

    Aaron woke up in hospital with Chas pecking his head about what he’d got involved in. PC Swirling then came to take his statement and Aaron stayed tight-lipped.

    After more cross words with Chas Aaron admitted he was pushing John away. Right on cue John turned up and Aaron managed to open up a little, teensy, tiny bit. They agreed to start looking forward and not back.

    As John left the hospital room, PC Swirling cornered him and thanked him for giving them the tip-off about the fights. So John was the one who squealed, but why? And what else is he hiding?

    Tina turned the screws

    Tina cooked Sam and Vinny a fry up to cure their hangovers, rubbing Mandy’s face in it as she engineered spending more time with Vinny. Mandy tried to talk to Sam about selling Wishing Well as per Tina’s demands, but he wasn’t interested.

    Tina continued to wind Mandy up, performing karaoke in the Woolpack and singing Vinny and Mandy’s song together. Mandy couldn’t take any more and stormed out of the pub.

    Mandy made a decision in Emmerdale tonight

    Paddy followed his wife and found her crying. He demanded an explanation, especially after the secret Mandy kept about her financial struggles.

    Mandy confessed Tina was blackmailing her and she was Vinny’s real mum. Paddy insisted she couldn’t let Tina win and Mandy took her power back, strongly saying Tina would not be threatening her again.

    Can she really get rid of her though? Or is Vinny’s world about to come crashing down?

  • Controversial new Tina Dingle has fans fuming over ‘personality transplant’

    Controversial new Tina Dingle has fans fuming over ‘personality transplant’

    Tina Dingle returned to Emmerdale last month for Zak Dingle’s funeral. But it quickly became clear she wasn’t just there to mourn her dearly departed dad, she was after all she could get.

    And it soon turned out she and Mandy had a big secret, one that Mandy would do anything to keep hidden. So now Tina is blackmailing her.

    But her return has not gone down well with fans of the soap, especially long-time viewers who remember the Tina Dingle of old. The one we see now is very far removed from that one.

    Tina Dingle Mark Two arrives in Emmerdale

    Tina’s arrival in the Dales causes controversy from the off. The character had been recast and was now played by Brassic star Samantha Power instead of original actress Jacqueline Pirie.

    Fans were not impressed with one writing on social media: “Absolutely nothing like the original Tina Dingle it’s a insult to the original character who played her.” Another added: “Sorry, not a patch on the original Tina.”

    Tina seemed to disappear after being carted off by police from Zak’s graveside. But she returned days later, tag-free, and demanding Mandy help her get her hands on Zak’s will – and her share of Wishing Well cottage. She also revealed she was Vinny’s real mum, a secret Mandy has been keeping from her son all of his life. Tina is now using that information to blackmail Mandy.

    On Thursday (November 7), it turned out Mandy had complied with Tina’s demands and stolen Zak’s will. But Tina wants more. She wants Mandy to persuade Sam to sell up. If she does, Tina will take her share of the cash and leave their lives for good. But if she doesn’t, Vinny’s about to have a major bombshell dropped on him.

    Who was the original Tina in Emmerdale?

    Viewers are still not happy with the new Tina and have failed to warm to her. One of their big beefs is that she is nothing like the old Tina Dingle.

    Tina mark one was a schemer, yes. She arrived to take revenge on her brother’s killer Luke. She seduced him into falling in love with her, then jilted him at the altar to avenge Ben’s demise.

    She then tried to better herself. Tina got a job at Home Farm as Frank Tate’s assistant, wore power suits and tried to learn business. She was, as far as Dingles go, quite classy.

    But not so this new version. Her personality and behaviour, not to mention her clothes, are a far cry from the old Tina. The Tina who arrived in the Dales to get justice for her brother’s death, that was a true Dingle through and through and would never blackmail them for money; that Tina.

    Fans have their say

    Fans are definitely in agreement: “Very discounted Poundland, nothing like the original she had black hair, Tina Dingle,” said one on X.

    “Massively impressed how Emmerdale have brought Tina Dingle back to spice things up and have chosen the least Tina Dingle looking/sounding actress they could find to play her!” joked a second.

    Another added: “So we’re to believe this Tina has had a total 100% personalityectomy and a rough uncouth cheap one inserted?”

    “The original Tina wasn’t like this at all, she wasn’t a cheap scally. This whole storyline and personality transplant can do one,” raged one more.

    A fourth said: “Old Tina wanted to better herself, can’t take to this Rose wannabe,” with another saying: “Old Tina wouldn’t have been seen dead in an outfit like that.”

    Meanwhile, a sixth commented: “I’m quite looking forward to when ‘not Tina’ leaves and we can all go back to remembering the real Tina. In her heyday. Bad mistake recasting such an iconic character, no matter how good an actor the replacement is.”

    Do you agree? Would Tina have changed so dramatically in her time off-screen? Stranger things have happened in Emmerdale, we suppose…

  • Suspicion of ‘John of all trades’ continues to grow as he saves Aaron’s life

    Suspicion of ‘John of all trades’ continues to grow as he saves Aaron’s life

    John in Emmerdale really is a superhero! Not only can he be a farmer and a boxing trainer but it turns out he can also save lives due to his medical training in the army.

    But after he performed emergency surgery on Aaron last night (Thursday November 7) fans were left even more suspicious of him than before – and that’s saying something!

    They are sure he’s not all he seems and it’s really niggling at them just who he might be…

    John saves Aaron’s life in Emmerdale

    Things have been a little tense between John and Aaron this week. John, who clearly doesn’t have social media and has never seen the Robron hashtag, realised just ‘how deep’ Robert and Aaron’s relationship was.

    Feeling insecure he pushed Aaron for answers on his feelings for Seb and for Robert now. But in true Aaron fashion, he clammed up and stormed off. And then refused to give John the time of day.

    But with Aaron attending Billy and Ross’s fight, John was worried, especially when he found out the police were on their way. So he rushed to the barn to break up the fight and get Aaron out.

    However in the commotion, Aaron confronted one of Jade’s goons and was punched in the chest. It caused his lung to collapse and John had to act quickly to save Aaron‘s life.

    Performing emergency surgery with the help of an old biro, John managed to drain the air out of Aaron’s lung, and stablise him until the ambulance arrived.

    Fans’ suspicions of John grow

    With all these heroics you’d think John would be Mr Popular, but it seems not with viewers! They are now even more suspicious of him than they were before.

    “Anyone else sick of John being the hero every five seconds. ‘I’m saving his life’. He’s always in life saving situations,” sighed one on social media.

    Another agreed: “This storyline gets worse and worse. Now we’ve got John of all trades saving lives!!”

    “John, boxing trainer, doctor, surgeon, paramedic, mechanic, farm worker, genius, hero. Veteran. He was homeless living in a van last week,” joked one more.

    A fourth speculated: “John is getting on my nerves. He pops up constantly to save the day. I can’t believe he’s who we’re being led to believe…”

    “Maybe I’m wrong but maybe John is supposed to be too good to be true kind of thing?” queried a fifth.

    A final person added: “I swear John can do everything. He’s too perfect. Truly was expecting him to solve the police case, drive the ambulance, and fix the vending machine.”

    Is the superhero, Mr Perfect, routine just an act?

    Who is John Sugden in Emmerdale?

    There has been speculation since John arrived that he is not really a Sugden. This week a fan theory suggested he was connected to Robert having knew him in prison.

    John was hiding a mysterious secret when he first arrived and clutching on to some dog tags with the name Aidan Moore. Was he really Aidan Moore? Had he killed Aidan Moore? Was Aidan Moore another Sugden brother? Everyone wanted to know and then it was revealed – mid-episode – in a real damp squib that he was an army mate who John had failed to save. Tragic, sure, but really worthy of all this build-up? No.

    So it’s possible that was just the tip of the iceberg and there’s more to his story. We hope so, for John’s sake, because fans aren’t happy so far!

    3 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Mandy confesses, Chas worries and Ross faces the music

    Emmerdale spoilers for tonight reveal Mandy confesses everything to Paddy, but can he convince her to stand up to Tina?

    Meanwhile Chas is worried for Aaron and Cain makes a demand of Ross.

    Here’s what’s happening in Emmerdale spoilers for Friday November 8.

    1. Paddy discovers the truth

    Ever since Tina’s arrival she’s been causing trouble for Mandy. And Mandy knows if she doesn’t do as Tina says her secret will come spilling out.

    Tina is blackmailing Mandy to help her get her share of Zak’s will. She wants Wishing Well sold so she can take the money and disappear again. She is using the fact she is Vinny’s biological mum against Mandy, who doesn’t know where to turn.

    But as things get even worse tonight, Mandy is overcome with fear and upset. She can’t take it any more and when Paddy finds her in tears she finally confesses.

    Paddy gives her a pep talk and Mandy feels stronger. But is she strong enough to take on Tina and win?

    Chas worries for Aaron in Emmerdale spoilers

    2. Aaron recovers as Chas worries

    Even though Aaron was barely in last night’s episode, he still ended up the centre of it after being taken out by a single punch. He was trying to stop one of Jade’s goons escaping the police and got a collapsed lung for his trouble.

    Fortunately paramedic/boyfriend John Sugden was there to perform an emergency procedure (we’re not even going to attempt the medical jargon for that one!) with a pen and a knife. He saved Aaron’s life.

    Aaron was taken to hospital where Chas rushed to be by his side. But tonight Chas is worried about her son. His condition is stable, but her concern lies in the emotional impact yet another brush with death has had on him.

    Will Aaron share his feelings with Chas?

    3. Ross gets on Cain’s wrong side

    To be fair to Ross, he wasn’t that keen on fighting Billy again, nor was he happy about using one of the barns at Butlers as the venue. But none of that matters to Cain who knows what happened and isn’t happy.

    Last night he left Ross by the side of the road to be arrested by PC Swirling, and tonight Cain is feeling no friendlier. In fact he demands Ross leaves the house and the village for good.

    But will Ross really go?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Fight club didn’t end well for anyone as Aaron fought for his life, Billy blew it and Ross was arrested

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Fight club didn’t end well for anyone as Aaron fought for his life, Billy blew it and Ross was arrested

    Emmerdale tonight was all about Billy and Ross’ fight club and it turned out everyone lost out – well, almost everyone. Ross has been arrested, Billy has sacrificed his marriage for his ego and Aaron was rushed to hospital. Mack, however, seems to think he has come out on top…

    Meanwhile, Chas and Liam risked being exposed and Tina made her presence felt.

    Here’s everything that went down in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday November 7.

    Billy messed up

    Jade turned up at Butlers and announced the fight was now being held in one of the barns there. Elsewhere, Dawn was adamant Billy was throwing the fight – and she was going to bet their money on it to make sure of it. Billy, of course, sulked. Get over yourself, mate!

    Dawn then went to visit Ross and it was clear there was a rapport there. But is Billy right, is there more to their relationship? And yes, we did see that look Dawn gave Ross when he took off his shirt! She liked what she saw (and she probably wasn’t the only one!)

    As the fight got underway, Billy soon overpowered Ross. Dawn was clearly worried Billy was going back on their arrangement. And it looked like he was because he did not stay down in round three as instructed.

    And then John arrived to say the police had been called and the fight come to a halt. So Dawn has lost all their money.

    As everybody scarpered Dawn and Billy limped home and he STILL didn’t take responsibility. He was still blaming her and acting like he was the wounded party. But frankly that pain in his stomach is the least he deserves. Dawn did not want to hear it.

    She then revealed she had pawned her wedding ring to place the bet and despite Billy’s pleas he would get it back (er, how, exactly, mate?) Dawn told him she didn’t see herself wearing it again. Can’t really blame her, can we?

    John saved Aaron’s life

    With everyone gone from the barn, Jade’s goons were trying to clear all the evidence before they left. But they soon couldn’t find the money and started fighting over it. Aaron tried to stop one of them leaving as the police pulled up, but he was punched to the floor.

    The hit managed to collapse Aaron’s lung and John had to intervene fast to save his life. He used a pen and a sharp knife to intubate and rescued him. And it turns out what he did was a pretty big deal. But will Aaron be grateful?

    Mack made a mint

    With everyone running off, Mack stayed to deal with the cops, but it was clear he had a plan up his sleeve as he swiped the money and hid it.

    After the police left, he was beside himself with joy at the fact he had all the cash. But something tells us this won’t end well for him at all!

    Ross was arrested

    As everyone else managed to escape, it all came down on poor Ross. He was limping down a country lane when Cain drove past him. But knowing what had gone one, Cain refused to rescue him – just as good old PC Swirling drove round the corner and arrested him. Will Ross rat out Jade and Billy and bring more trouble to his door?

    Chas and Liam in Emmerdale tonight

    Chas and Liam were all loved-up after the night before. But Ella is still hanging round like a bad smell. She saw Liam coming and pretended to be on the phone setting up a date to make him jealous. However, her phone rang and he caught her out. Liam took her home to talk things through and Ella begged for the truth. He was kind, but still avoided being honest, so she leaned in to kiss him.

    Ella then disappeared upstairs, but while she was there, Chas arrived and asked Liam to take her to the hospital. He immediately grabbed his keys and left Ella without saying a word. She walked back downstairs, but has she realised what’s really going on? And what action will she take?

    Also in Emmerdale tonight: Tina caused more trouble

    Sam found Tina in her caravan in the Dingles’ yard. She turned on the waterworks as she stood over Zak’s grave. But then she made it clear she wants her share of the house. Sam desperately looked for the will and couldn’t find it, suspecting Tina had swiped it.

    Tina then arrived at the Woolpack and the Dingles rounded on her. It turned out, Mandy had the will and had stolen it to give to Tina.

    Tina then managed to get Sam drunk and got him to spill some secrets – including the fact Vinny is loaded. Using this to her advantage, money-grabbing Tina continued to blackmail Mandy into getting Wishing Well sold so she can get her share. But will Mandy do it?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Amelia and Jimmy forgave Tom and we have lost all hope of them ever seeing sense

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Amelia and Jimmy forgave Tom and we have lost all hope of them ever seeing sense

    Emmerdale tonight dealt us another blow when Jimmy and Amelia took Tom’s side after his outburst last night. Even Rodney was sympathetic to Tom – enough is enough.

    Meanwhile, Billy was forced to confess to Dawn and sulked when she took control of the situation. But will he go along with her plan?

    Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday November 6)

    Tom manipulated again

    Jimmy is STILL sympathising with Tom. He’s STILL on Tom’s side. Even Rodney offered Tom some support. What is wrong with them?

    Jimmy then tentatively asked if Amelia was all right and suggested she was quite upset about the night before. Tom turned it round (again) and said he knew he shouldn’t have got angry. He manipulated the situation suggesting he now felt like Jimmy and Amelia were now turning on him. Jimmy, of course, rushed to insist he was still on his side. Sigh. And the most stupid man in the village award goes to…

    Amelia was a bit tougher to crack. Jimmy went in to bat for Tom when he saw her and said he was worried about Tom and there’s no way Tom would ever want to purposely upset her.

    Amelia then relented and let Tom come over. He did his best puppy dog eyes and apologised for overreacting. He’d apparently been awake all night worried about Amelia. And she actually bought it and even ended up feeling sorry for him.

    We cannot take much more of this.

    Billy was given what-for in Emmerdale tonight

    Billy was training and being miserable, avoiding Dawn and trying to keep his secret. When he returned from his run, Dawn was frantic, saying Clemmie and Lucas were missing. She has looked everywhere and they were nowhere to be seen.

    Billy refused to call the police and confessed it was to do with Jade. Confused Dawn didn’t have time to press as Clemmie and Lucas ran round the corner. Jade didn’t have them and now Dawn wanted answers. Whoops Billy!

    So he then confessed what he’s been up to. Dawn couldn’t believe he would be this stupid. Doesn’t know her husband very well, does she?!

    Dawn then called Ross over to sort out the mess. She has a plan – they are going to fix the fight. She didn’t give Billy a choice, she said he was the one taking the fall and he had to drop.

    Billy was not happy and decided it was because Dawn had feelings for Ross and wanted him to lose. But Dawn gave it to him with both barrels – she wasn’t messing and we quite like this side of her.

    But something tells us Billy’s ego is so bruised he’s not giving this fight up without, er, a fight.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Liam and Chas were loved-up

    Liam crept in to the Woolpack back room with flowers for Chas. Half of him is ready to throw caution to the wind and tell people – he’s even bought new aftershave and a new shirt for the occasion.

    Things still seem a bit awkward between them as they started kissing. And then Chas suddenly pulled away.

    As they sat together talking things through, Liam said he would wait as long as she wanted to. But Chas is worried about what she looks like after the cancer surgery. Liam insisted there was no pressure at all, he was here for her. They both confessed to feeling safe with each other, but Chas still isn’t ready. Liam was very understanding and they did end up in bed. It feels like there might be a real future for these two – if Emmerdale don’t go and mess yet another couple up, that is.

    Aaron and John fell out

    John and Aaron still need to talk, but John was avoiding it. However he eventually plucked up the courage to ask Aaron to open up to him. But Aaron was defensive and insisted he couldn’t deal with this now.

    He said he did care about John and wanted him, but didn’t want to talk about his past. John just couldn’t shake that niggling feeling though, and pushed a bit too hard about Aaron’s feelings – insulting Robert in the process. Talking really isn’t their strong point, is it?

  • As Billy’s fight club and Tom’s behaviour leave fans ‘bored’, 4 other storylines that were total flops

    As Billy’s fight club and Tom’s behaviour leave fans ‘bored’, 4 other storylines that were total flops

    Emmerdale is currently airing some long-running storylines that are not hitting the mark. It’s fair to say fans are fed-up with it – and it’s not the first time plots have failed to impress.

    So what other storylines do you remember that didn’t capture your attention? We’ve rounded up the ones lots of Emmerdale fans are talking about.

    The current storylines in Emmerdale

    Although Tom’s abusive behaviour towards Belle started off as a masterpiece in soap storytelling, many viewers are getting fed-up. The consensus is that it has dragged on too long and Tom needs to get his comeuppance now.

    Sadly, in real life, this sort of behaviour would not be over in a heartbeat, but soaps do have the gift of being able to speed things up or slow things down as they so wish. Fans are now really annoyed and have regularly aired their frustrations over Tom on social media.

    “Tom will have arranged all of this… boring storyline,” said one after the Guy storyline on Tuesday November 5.

    Another addressed the soap itself: “Dear Emmerdale, wanted to let you know the storyline has become a joke and it’s kind of insensitive to people who go through DV. I mean Tom was banged to rights but you’re doing everything to make him evade justice so now the storyline is boring.”

    “The story of Tom is starting to get boring when will he get exposed?” sighed one more.

    Meanwhile, Billy, Ross and the illegal fights aren’t fairing much better!

    “All this bare knuckle fighting, plastic gangster business would be laughable if it wasn’t so boring,” joked one on X.

    Another agreed: “All this fighting stuff needs to stop now. Silly storyline…”

    “Emmerdale too much gloom and doom now. This fighting stuff is one of the worst stories ever,” said a third.

    Other storylines that have failed in Emmerdale

    It’s not the first time fans haven’t been happy with the on-screen antics. In fact they are now discussing it on a Reddit thread: just which storylines have failed to hit the mark?

    1. Amit’s whole storyline arc in Emmerdale

    Rishi died in a shock move by the soap last year. At the time it seemed he fell down the stairs. However, when his brother Amit arrived, it was revealed he had actually pushed Rishi to his death. They were rowing about inheritance money.

    Rishi, a fan favourite, is sorely missed. Amit meanwhile, was evil and unlikable and it was never really clear whether he actually cared about his family or just money.

    In the end, Jai found out the truth, pushed Amit down the stairs, locked him up for a few days, then blackmailed him to leave. And he did.

    “They killed off great Rishi for that [bleep],” said one fan.

    2. Marlon and Jessie

    Remember Marlon’s fourth wife, Jessie Grant? We barely do! But let us refresh your memory. Jessie was Leo’s headteacher, but she was on the rebound from a previous relationship. However there were sparks (we must have missed them) between her and Marlon and they got together and then had a surprise Christmas wedding.

    Tensions between Jessie’s sons Ellis and Billy as well as the arrival of her ex, Al Chapman, caused trouble and Jessie decided to leave for a new job in Dubai. Arguably the most emotional part of the whole thing was how little April reacted to losing yet another ‘mother’.

    “Zero chemistry from them and therefore zero interest from me,” said one fan.

    Another agreed: “Crazy to think that they even gave Marlon and Jessie a big Christmas Day wedding and by the following Christmas they’d already split up!”

    3. Jacob and Victoria’s romance

    They fought against all odds to be together, their love could not be stopped even though they knew it was wrong. And then suddenly Victoria no longer loved Jacob, actually she never had really at all, and she dumped him. It was all a bit for nothing, wasn’t it?

    It was scandalous given Victoria had been his sort-of former stepmother, dating his stepdad David. But actually the age difference between her and David was more than that between her and Jacob. We could almost get on board with them falling for each other.

    The reactions of their families were also dramatic with David leaving, Pollard struggling to come to terms with it and Leyla not happy at all. But then within weeks Victoria decided it wasn’t right, all the gushing she’d done was actually not real and she dumped Jacob. He’s barely been seen since!

    “The Jacob and Victoria romance – where even is he, anyway?” asked one viewer.

    4. The Rhona and Ivy storyline in Emmerdale

    Rhona Goskirk was completely thrown (as you would be) when she discovered her ex-husband Gus had used their frozen embryos without her permission to have a baby with his new wife, Lucy. Sadly, Lucy died in childbirth and Rhona made it her single-minded mission to get custody of baby Ivy.

    It threatened her entire marriage to Marlon, which was left hanging by a thread. She even went on the run with the baby so as not to give her up and ended up in court on kidnap charges. Then she betrayed the deal she’d made with Gus, tore him apart at his fraud trial and got him sentenced to eight years. Thus, giving her custody of Ivy.

    That is Ivy who we’ve not seen or heard about since.

    There was never going to be any winners in this storyline and all it served to do was make a previously favoured character disliked.

    “Rhona getting custody of Ivy went on forever and now you never see her,” said one fan.
