What time is Emmerdale on tonight?
Emmerdale will air half hour earlier tonight, at 7pm. Instead of the usual hour-long instalment, viewers will only get a 30 minute episode.
This is because from 7.30pm, ITV1 will air coverage of the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi final between Liverpool and Tottenham.
It’s been a dramatic week of Emmerdale, with the truth about April’s disappearance finally revealed. April suffered a post-partum hemorrhage after giving birth to a stillborn baby.
Viewers will be eager to find out what happens next, so the episode being on early may be welcome news. As is normal practice, episodes are also available to watch from 7am on ITVX on day of broadcast.
After running out of money, April Windsor found herself sleeping rough on the streets. It was later revealed that she was pregnant, but tragically the baby was stillborn.
Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm.
Classic Emmerdale usually airs every weekday on ITV3 at 6am and 6.30am, plus 1.40pm and 2.10pm.

What happens next in Emmerdale?
Emmerdale has revealed that a special flashback episode will show what April has been through since leaving the Dales.
The standalone episode is set to air on Tuesday, February 4 and will recount April’s heartbreaking journey on the streets.
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: “April’s flashback episode is a heartbreaking depiction of life on the street as a teenage girl. Continuing to take guidance from the fabulous team at Missing People, it was incredibly important that we didn’t shy away from the agonising journey that April would go through. Their help was invaluable in making sure the episode has the authenticity required.
She added: “Amelia Flanagan‘s outstanding performance makes this arguably, one of Emmerdale’s stand out episodes of this year and promises to start a new journey for the character of April, forever changed by her time living on the city streets.”
Spoilers later in the week reveal Marlon and Rhona feel overwhelmed after recent events. Will things ever go back to normal for the family?

“Eric and Kerry are going to end up together, aren’t they?!,” wrote a third fan alongside a sad face emoji.
Other fans suggested Kerry would use Pollard – even though he doesn’t currently have any money. “Why am I sensing Kerry is going to steal or try and get with Eric?,” wrote a fourth fan, with a fifth adding: “Kerry, he’s old enough to be your grandad!”

As Anthony is murdered in Emmerdale, fans beg Ruby Fox-Miligan to tell Steph the truth about what her ‘grandad’ did to her.
Over the past couple of months, the soap has explored an abuse story, after it was revealed that Anthony abused his daughter Ruby when she was a teenager.
It was also revealed on Emmerdale that Anthony is in fact Steph’s real father, not her grandad. Steph remains oblivious to everything and is intent on finding out where he has disappeared to. However, fans want Steph to be told the truth and to remove those rose tinted glasses.

What happened to Steph’s grandad Anthony in Emmerdale?
Steph Miligan arrived in the Dales in November, with her grandfather Anthony hot on her heels.
Viewers soon discovered, via a special flashback episode, that Anthony had abused Ruby when she was a teenager. This explained Ruby’s hostility towards her dad.
However, Steph has been unaware of what went down years ago and has accused her mum of being cold and of not loving her like she loved Nicky.
Recently, it was revealed that Anthony is in fact Steph’s father, not Caleb Miligan. After Ruby confided parts of her story to Chas, Chas soon realised the whole truth and told her brother Cain. While Aaron Dingle and Caleb also learnt the truth, meaning there were no shortage of suspects when Anthony was killed last week.
Chas also told Nicola that Anthony wasn’t safe around children. However, in Tuesday’s episode, Ruby realises this and demands that Chas take back her words before Steph finds out.

I get they don’t want to tell her she’s his daughter but she doesn’t need to know that part.”
A fifth fan said: “She’s getting really annoying now. Just tell her the [bleep] truth, think she needs to know.”

Emmerdale fans have predicted that Laurel Thomas will hit the bottle again following the latest drama with Anthony Fox.

Laurel’s alcohol problem in Emmerdale
Following a string of events, including a carjacking at the hands of Ross Barton and the death of her partner Marlon’s ex wife Donna, Laurel turned to alcohol to help her cope.
After a short break away, Laurel promised Marlon she’d stop drinking. But this wasn’t the case. One particularly bad scene saw Laurel add vodka to her orange juice at breakfast, which young April then consumed.
Another episode saw Laurel pass out and choke on her own vomit while looking after April and Arthur. Her drinking also saw her lose her job and catch an STI after a one night stand.
Her addiction was revisited in 2018 after she had an argument with partner Bob, and then again in 2021 following the termination of her baby.

A third viewer said: “…and Laurel to hit the bottle.” A fourth fan added: “Our floral laurel is going to relapse, I can’t cope.”
Over on Instagram, a fifth fan begged: “Please don’t hit the voddy, Laurel.”
But, we know that Laurel’s been struggling even before the whole Anthony situation after she leant on Marlon for support, so could this be the thing that tips her over the edge and into a relapse?

Classic Emmerdale has us feeling nostalgic for the characters who are no longer on our screen. Here we take a look at who we’d like to see again.
Currently in Classic Emmerdale, Bob is mourning Dawn Woods, who died as a result of Sadie King’s sabotage. While Jasmine Thomas is pregnant after embarking on an affair with Cain Dingle.
But which of these past classic characters must return?

Sadie King
Sadie, played by Patsy Kensit, was a firm favourite during her two year stint. She arrived as the wife of Jimmy King, but bored in the marriage she soon started an affair with Robert Sugden.
After being disowned by the King family, Sadie managed to worm her way back in with her scheming ways and she later started a relationship with brother-in-law Matthew.
Recently shown on Classic Emmerdale, Sadie paid Cain Dingle to sabotage the Kings’ Rivers’ Show home development. This resulted in the deaths of Dawn Woods, Noreen Bell and estate agent David Brown.
Sadie’s exit came about when Cain shot her, seemingly killing her… However, it was all staged and Sadie simply left the village.
Steph return, when? (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Steph Stokes
Steph was a mainstay in Emmerdale for over 10 years. She was Alan Turner’s daughter and mother to Trisha. Though she had a complex relationship with both.
Steph thought she finally found happiness when she met Adam Forsythe and she revealed to him that she’d been sexually abused as a child by her brother Terence Turner.
Adam ended up killing Terence, but it was Steph, who was arrested and sent to prison for the crime, where she still remains.
Steph, played by Lorraine Chase, remains one of the show’s best villains and would certainly be welcomed back.
Laurel and Jasmine reunion? (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Jasmine Thomas
Jasmine was part of Emmerdale for four years. Arriving in 2005, she was the niece of Ashley and had been sent to stay with her uncle by her parents.
Her most memorable storyline was her relationship with Debbie Dingle. Debbie initially kissed Jasmine to get a reaction from her dad, Cain. But the girls soon realised they had genuine feelings for each other.
Recent episodes of Classic Emmerdale saw Cain seduce Jasmine, resulting in Jasmine, played by Jenna Coleman, getting pregnant.
Like Steph, Jasmine left Emmerdale when she was sent to prison. She was jailed after confessing to killing dodgy cop, Shane Doyle.
Bob and TJ should reunite (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
TJ Woods
TJ was only a child when he left Emmerdale. But now that he is 21, it would be interesting to see the man he has turned into.
The son of Dawn and Terry, TJ was caught in a bitter custody battle between the warring parents. Dawn was eventually given sole custody, but after her death, TJ moved in with his father.
TJ became an orphan when he was only 7. His grandfather Bob Hope sent him to live with Dawn’s mum Jean in Morocco. Aside from Brenda visiting him a year later, TJ hasn’t been mentioned since.
TJ still has ties in the village in the form of his grandfather and auntie Cathy, so could slot back in seamlessly.
Another Dingle return? (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Eli Dingle
Joe Gilgun may now be better known as Vinnie O’Neill in hit comedy Brassic. But before that he played the lovable Eli Dingle.
Eli arrived in 2006 as the younger brother of Marlon Dingle. He wasn’t initially welcomed into the family due to his mischievous ways.
He was involved in various storylines including a relationship with cousin Debbie and helping assist Alice’s death.
Before leaving the village following a robbery, Eli had an emotional conversation with Marlon about their childhood. It was later mentioned that he was living in Arbroath. With Marlon’s current troubles, it would be a good time for Eli to return.
And another Dingle… (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Del Dingle
With the Dingles always ever present, Del could easily slot back in. Delilah ‘Del’ Dingle arrived in Emmerdale in 2005. She immediately made an impression as was driving a flashy red sports car while wearing a wedding dress.
Having realised the man she was supposed to marry wasn’t right for her, she instead settled into life in the Dales. Though she continued to be unlucky in love.
Del, played by Hayley Tamaddon, fell for Carl King, only to realise he loved her cousin Chas. She also had a failed relationship with Paddy, before setting her sights on David Metcalfe.
However, when she discovered David had spent the night with Katie, Del conned him of £20,000 and left the village.
