In Emmerdale spoilers, Joe Tate continues to smooth-talk Dawn, even as he lies about his painkiller addiction to a suspicious Kim. Joe has been struggling with pills since his return to the village – and the truth was uncovered by Dawn, who found him, semi-conscious in his car.
When she confronted him, Joe claimed that he had the problem in hand, and would be quitting. And, as the pair struggle to keep their hands off each other, Joe spins another lie to Kim. Kim had grown suspicious of Joe’s tales after overhearing him discussing the side-effects of his addiction and poor health. Will she believe his stories?
Meanwhile, Charity sneaks onto Home Farm for an investigation of her own… but will she learn the truth about Joe?

Joe continues to ingratiate himself with Dawn by demonstrating his withdrawal from the painkillers. With Dawn seemingly impressed, Joe feels encouraged that he’s making good progress in their relationship.
Just then, a moment between the pair is interrupted by Kim. She’s quick to notice that he’s grown close to Dawn. In an attempt to allay Kim’s suspicions, he spins her a story about the painkillers – which she seemingly believes.
But is Joe hiding something else from them both?

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale found John and Aaron hard at work clearing up evidence of Anthony’s murder. Last week, Aaron beat Anthony to death after learning of the abuser’s true colours.
Provoked by an unrepentant Anthony, Aaron snapped and savagely beat the old man to a pulp. At some point after Aaron fled, Anthony died – and things don’t look good for the hot-tempered Dingle.

Aaron and John covered up a crime in Emmerdale tonight
John helped Aaron cover his tracks, disposing of Anthony’s body while Aaron cleaned himself up. But, with Anthony’s car still parked in the village and all of his belongings at home, it wouldn’t be long before his family started asking difficult questions.
The pair continued to rid themselves of the evidence tonight (Monday, January 27), with Aaron sneaking into the Miligans’ home to do away with Anthony’s passport and keys. They then stashed his car in the garage (handily closed for the week by Cain), and Aaron set to work scrapping the vehicle.
However, Aaron is clearly struggling with his conscience – especially as the truth hit home that Anthony’s family may be at home, wondering what became of their old man.
What’s next for John and Aaron?

Aaron suffers a crisis of conscience and John has some answering to do
In Emmerdale spoilers for this week, John continues to keep an eye out for Aaron. Pretending to lead a health and safety initiative at the depot, John is shocked to spot Anthony’s tooth on the floor.
Later, his plan to retrieve the tooth is thwarted by Caleb’s sudden appearance. Can John talk his way out of this one?
Elsewhere, Ruby answers the door to a haunted-looking Aaron. Opening up about his past, Aaron begins to crumble in front of Ruby. Unable to carry the guilt any longer, he admits that he killed Anthony…

Realising that it wouldn’t be long before people start asking questions, the pair did away with his car and possessions, making his family think that he’d scarpered instead of being killed. But the reality of the situation hit home as Aaron began stripping the car.
Elsewhere, a famous face popped into the Hide, Jai launched an investigation, and Bob confided in Manpreet. And, as Moira stepped in to look after little Frankie, she dozed off, putting the youth in peril.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, January 27.

Aaron and John got to work in Emmerdale tonight
Still trying to bury the evidence of Aaron murdering Anthony, he and John had some work to do. Anthony’s passport and car keys needed to be snuck out of the house and the car scrapped.
As Steph and Caleb left for work, John rushed Ruby out of the house, spinning a tale of a gas leak in the area. As Aaron cleared the evidence, John kept her distracted at the Hide.
Back at home, Aaron was interrupted by Caleb just as he was about to leave with the bag of Anthony’s things. He managed to stay hidden, but it was a close call there for a while.
Providence struck when they learned that Cain was planning on closing the garage to look after Moira. Somehow sneaking Anthony’s car in without anyone noticing, the pair set about stripping the vehicle.
It was in the glovebox that Aaron discovered a mix tape made by Steph, and suffered a crisis of conscience. Can he hold his nerve?

Oblivious Laurel had a celebrity visitor
In the Hide, a familiar face thanked Laurel for a lovely cup of tea. Some might recognise this figure as UK parliamentary speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle – although Laurel didn’t seem to.
Still, she had a lot on her mind, fretting over whether or not she and Nicola were responsible for Anthony’s disappearance. Her jittery behaviour only seemed to irritate Ruby, which made Laurel even more spooked.
As Nicola tried to calm her down, she wondered whether the Hide – with all its bottles of booze – might be the best place for recovering alcoholic Laurel to be working.
Jai launched an investigation
At work, Jai admonished the staff at the depot, informing them that £200 was missing from the office – and implying that it had been an inside job. This earned him some derision from Billy and Kerry – who noted that he had been the one who left the door open in the first place.
He implemented a bag search policy, but Kerry was quick to point out that he didn’t have a leg to stand on.

Bob confided in Manpreet
Bob paid a visit to the cafe, rousing suspicions with his odd behaviour. Realising that things were amiss between Bob and Brenda, Manpreet prodded him for answers.
Later, she got to the truth of the matter, as he admitted that he’d tried to kiss Brenda. She advised him to let sleeping dogs lie, but will Bob heed her advice?

Moira snoozed on the job
Tracy swung by with Frankie to pay a visit to Moira. When a shift came up at work, Moira offered to look after Frankie. However, it wasn’t long before exhausted Moira dozed off – and Frankie took the opportunity to fix her a cup of tea.
Amy and Matty walked in to find the youngster fiddling with the stove – so Amy stepped in to help look after Frankie.
Steph worried about Anthony in Emmerdale tonight
Steph fretted about her missing grandfather. Discovering his car gone, Steph was alarmed – and immediately started accusing her mother of driving him away. Caleb leapt to Ruby’s defence, describing Anthony as ‘spiteful’ and suggesting he’d left as a means of punishing his family.

He confronted Ruby and, while she covered the truth for Steph’s sake, soon realised what had happened. Anthony was killed in the days following – first held at gunpoint by Caleb, then apparently beaten to death by Aaron afterwards. Steph, meanwhile, remains in the dark.
But how long before she learns the truth? Star Georgia Jay, who plays Steph on the soap, has explained what happens next.

Emmerdale star Georgia Jay reveals that Steph will be left ‘shattered’ by truth about Anthony
Speaking to The Mirror, Georgia revealed that Steph already has her suspicions. “She’s not stupid – she picks up on the tension and the awkward glances between Ruby and Caleb, the half-finished sentences,” she told the tabloid.
Georgia continued: “They’re always shutting up the moment she comes into a room. She feels frustrated because she knows something is going on that is being kept from her.”
Talking about how Steph will feel when the truth comes out, Georgia said: “She feels betrayed, ashamed, angry and, at the same time, just in total despair for herself and her mother. She’s carrying the weight of her mother’s pain and trauma. It’s going to be a really rocky road for Steph in terms of this whole identity being shattered.”
But what’s next for Steph and her family?

What’s next for the Miligan family?
Looking forward to the future, Georgia said: “I see this as the making of a true family because it’s all been built on a foundation of lies. It’ll be a long road but I do think they’ll build a family that’s really, really strong and built on trust.”
Meanwhile, in upcoming Emmerdale spoilers, as Steph continues to question her grandfather’s disappearance, Ruby begins to crumble. Is this how the truth comes out?

A new Emmerdale fan theory has suggested that Aaron Dingle could go to prison for killing Anthony Fox – and will reunite with former husband Robert in there.
Aaron killed monster Anthony after learing what he had done to Ruby as a teenager. Confronting the old man, memories of his own trauma at the hands of Gordon came flooding back. And, as Anthony provoked him with a series of vile comments at Ruby’s expense, Aaron lashed out, beating him to within an inch of his life.

Aaron to face jail time after killing Anthony?
As Aaron fled, those inches seemingly caught up with Anthony. He returned to the scene of the crime with John, only to find Anthony dead. With Aaron now in the frame for murder, the pair set about cleaning up the crime scene.
But, soaps being soap, the truth is bound to come out eventually. And if Aaron should find himself in prison, some viewers have wondered whether he might be reunited with a certain fan favourite husband.

Aaron to reunite with Robert in prison, Emmerdale fans predict
Writing on social media in the aftermath of Aaron’s crime, fans shared their theories as to whether prison might bring him closer to ex-husband Rob.
“Getting anxiety thinking of the possibility that Aaron could go to prison for this.. the only upside being that Robert is in there,” wrote one fan on X.
“What if Aaron gets thrown in jail for killing Anthony and gets sentenced to the Isle of Wight. I’m a big RobRon fan and desperately want those two back together. I wish Ryan Hawley would come back to Emmerdale (and help revive the show) even if it was just for one episode!” another speculated, over on Reddit.
“Have a feeling Aaron and Rob will end up in the same prison…” a third hinted.

Last week’s episodes of Emmerdale saw Joe Tate making a secretive phone call to a mysterious figure amid evidence of a painkiller addiction. With speculation rife as to the mystery caller’s identity, a new fan theory has suggested that he could be in contact with Jean Tate.
Jean was the daughter of Joe’s aunt, Zoe Tate, who she had with Scott Windsor. And with fans also wondering whether Joe might be in need of a kidney or organ transplant from a relative, he’d be wise not to hang all his hopes on half-brother Noah.

Emmerdale fans predict Joe on the phone to Jean Tate
Sharing the theory on a Reddit thread, one fan wondered whether Jean Tate could be ‘waiting in the wings’ to stage a comeback.
“Joe mentioned recently that Noah was his only family, but what about Jean. She’d be in her 20’s now and I highly doubt her mother raised her with an ideal view of Kim,” wrote one viewer.
“That would be great to bring Jean back. I think that they should bring some of the older characters back,” said another.
“Jean would be good but Scott would have to come as a package. And vice versa it would be such a missed opportunity for one to show up and not the other. And a Scott return is basically 20 years overdue,” agreed a third.
“Could maybe Jean Tate be waiting somewhere in the wings to appear??” asked a fourth.

Who is Jean Tate?
Born in January 24 2003 to Zoe Tate and Scott Windsor, Jean is his aunt’s daughter. Jean didn’t recall their one-night stand, which had come while she was struggling with her schizophrenia.
Initially believing that she had been raped, Zoe remembered that their fling had been consensual – but the pair were far from happy co-parents. After she suffered a schizophrenic breakdown, Scott took custody of the children.
During the bitter battle which followed, Zoe planned to take Jean away to California. Fuming Scott attacked her, leading her to fend him off with a syringe full of ketamine.
She managed to clear herself of charges of murder, which Scott didn’t take well either, holding her hostage in Home Farm with a shotgun. His mum, Viv managed to talk her son down… clearing the path for Zoe’s exit to New Zealand, along with little Jean.

A senior UK politician makes an unexpected cameo in Emmerdale tonight – with Sir Lindsay Hoyle popping by the Hide for a fresh cuppa.
The Speaker of the House of Commons previously spoke of the importance of soaps such as Emmerdale and Coronation Street. He described them as “an important part of the fabric of British society and the economic contribution they bring to the Northâ€.
The Chorley MP paid a visit to the show’s set while touring the studios and production base near Leeds city centre. And, while he was there, he even filmed a cameo for tonight’s episode.
A very different kind of ‘order’ as he hit Laurel up for a cup of tea. But what brings Sir Lindsay to Emmerdale?

Sir Lindsay Hoyle visits Emmerdale
Dressed in a tweed jacket and wellington boots, Sir Lindsay takes a diversion from his hike to order a cup of tea in the Hide. While there, he compliments Laurel on a good cup of Yorkshire tea.
Sir Lindsay described the great importance of Emmerdale to British culture. He said: “Incredibly, Emmerdale has been on our screens for more than half a century. Shining a light on the lived experience of others; entertaining viewers with its hard-hitting storylines, while also making a major economic contribution to the North.”
He continued: “It has been an honour to help the cast celebrate the 10,000th episode of this enduring Yorkshire-based soap, with a visit to the Woolpack. As a Lancastrian, I am hugely impressed by the talent and warmth of our friends on ‘the other side’ of the Pennines.”

Last night’s episode of Emmerdale saw Joe Tate making a secretive phone call as he struggled with his demons and mysterious health issues. This came as his apparent painkiller addiction took its toll.
Dawn was shocked to find Joe passed out in his car (haphazardly parked up in a ditch) with a bottle of pills at his side. He later revealed that he’s been struggling with an addiction to painkillers – assuring her that he’d be seeking help for the problem.
Joe continued: “The thing that I didn’t want to happen… it happened. It’s just it’s getting a bit more obvious now. I don’t know how long I’ve got until people start noticing.”
Little did Joe know, but Kim was listening in on the conversation, having bugged his room. As she listened to the recording later, her eyebrow twitched at the revelation, her curiosity piqued.
But who was Joe on the phone to?

“Joe is definitely sick in some way, guessing that was his private doctor on the phone,” wrote one fan.
“Looks like Joe has a mystery illness and will need a transplant and that’s why he wants to get close to Noah,” said another.
But is the answer really that simple?

Fans are convinced Graham is alive still
Another theory is that Jamie could be in league with former mentor and father figure Graham Foster. Graham was killed after a fatal run-in with Pierce, but that hasn’t stopped viewers from hoping the fan favourite could be alive.
“I have been convinced graham isn’t dead since he died,” wrote one fan.
Lending credence to this theory is all the talk of Graham of late… plus the framed photo of them both in Joe’s bedroom.

Jamie Tate…. or Graham again
Another popular idea is that Joe could be working with devious uncle Jamie Tate. Viewers have been looking out for Jamie’s return ever since he faked his death in 2021 – with viewers convinced he’s been behind every bad thing that’s happened to Kim over the years.
“With Joe, I think he’s colluding with an undead Graham, if not Jamie. Kim will find out. 🫢” another fan predicted.

Last night’s episode of Emmerdale saw Anthony killed in retribution for his abuse of daughter Ruby – marking an exit from the soap for actor Nicholas Day.
Anthony copped a vicious beating after provoking Aaron Dingle, his abuse of Ruby bringing back some painful memories for the young mechanic. Deciding he’d rather be dead than behind bars, Anthony’s venom scored him a brutal beating, leaving him broken and bleeding on the floor of the depot.
Returning to the scene of the crime, Aaron and John found that Anthony had died in the interim, leaving Aaron holding the bag, and with a body to clean up for John. Anthony’s story is far from done, but Nicholas Day’s time in the soap seems done.
But where is Nicholas now?

Where is Emmerdale actor Nicholas Day, following Anthony exit?
Nicholas is currently starring in the play A Man For All Seasons, alongside George Gently star Martin Shaw. The show is currently playing at Theatre Royal Bath until January 25, before touring in Chichester, Malvern, Cheltenham, Oxford, Guildford, Canterbury, and London Richmond.
This new version of Robert Bolt’s play tracks the fallout as Henry VIII demands a divorce from wife Catherine of Aaragon (divorced) so that he can move on to new girl Anne Boleyn (beheaded) – putting the devout Thomas More (Martin Shaw) in a compromising situation.
Now-former Anthony Fox star Nicholas plays Cardinal Wolsey – clashing with the King after failing to deliver his divorce.

Beth Cordingly issues plea to fans following Anthony exit
Writing on her Instagram page yesterday, Beth wrote: “In case anyone is under any illusions I just want to stress what a beautiful man Nick Day is, in real life. We were very lucky to have an actor of his calibre and talent playing my father, Anthony, in Emmerdale.”
She continued: “It wasn’t an easy role for anyone to take on and he found playing this person extremely challenging. I loved working with Nick, we all did. It was an emotional experience requiring a lot of trust and a lot of love. He’s a gem.”
She finished with a plea for viewers to be kind… and not mistake fiction for reality. “If you see him in the street please remember he’s NOT Anthony. I’m sure you all will – so forgive me for sounding patronising – I just wanted to say. Sometimes, as actors, we need a little bit of protection when we put ourselves out there telling difficult stories that need to be told.”

A new fan theory has predicted that resident Emmerdale monster Anthony Fox is still alive. His death last night (Thursday, January 23) seemed fairly definitive – being beaten to a pulp by Aaron and found dead when he and John returned to the scene of the crime.
Whether Aaron actually delivered the killing blow may be debatable, but he’s definitely dead… or is he?
What we do know is that John and Aaron returned to the depot, where army medic pronounced Anthony dead at the scene. After promising to clean up the mess, John sent Aaron on his merry way. He then set about disposing of the body and cleaning up the crime scene, like nothing had ever happened (one solitary tooth aside).
But is Anthony really dead?

Anthony is ‘still alive’ suggests Emmerdale fan
Writing on Reddit as last night’s episode aired, one fan wondered whether Anthony might have still been alive as John examined the body – and he then let him go after Aaron had scarpered.
“I think John let him go,” wrote one fan on a Reddit thread.
“I don’t think it was down to Aaron. Whenever there is an off screen death, there is a reason for it,” another said. Could that reason be that Anthony isn’t as dead as we think he is?
“Hard to imagine they would make Aaron a killer, though as it’s a soap they will likely allow him to think he killed Anthony for a while,” said a third.
Whatever the case may be, John’s behaviour was a little-too laid back, given the situation. “Sure John has done this before “in the army” 😉” winked one fan, hinting at ulterior motives for the still-mysterious Sugden brother.
What has John done with Anthony?

Did Aaron really kill Anthony?
Regardless of whether he’s dead or not (and with John apparently hiding the body in the back of his van, we’re betting so), Aaron looks to be holding the bag.
However, Anthony was alive when Aaron left him – meaning that someone could have snuck in to finish off the job. Everyone last night was acting suspiciously, from a jittery Ruby to an uncharacteristically pleasant Steph.
Caleb, meanwhile, almost seemed surprised when he saw how clean the depot was – suggesting he could have stumbled across a beat-up Anthony earlier in the day. And then there’s John, who seemed far too cool and collected for the situation at hand.
