    Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Steph makes a bold move as she’s arrested for murder

    In Classic Emmerdale spoilers airing on ITV3 today (Monday, January 20), Steph Stokes is shocked when the police arrive and arrest her. This comes as Adam’s lies were exposed last week – seemingly giving Steph motive for Terence’s murder.

    Last week, the police discovered that Adam is a fraud, and has been practicing medicine under his late dad’s name. While it was obvious that Steph knew nothing about her husband’s past, this wasn’t enough to clear her of Terence’s murder.

    And, as she prepares for her bail hearing, a defiant Steph makes a bold move. Can she clear her name?

    Elsewhere, Simon is deflated when Tash pays a visit with some disappointing news. As Diane attempts to console him, Simon misreads the signals and embarrasses himself.

    These episodes originally aired on July 24 and 25 2006.

    Alan is proud when Steph spends the day trying to move on with her life. However, she faces a major setback later that day when the police arrive at the Woolpack – and arrest her in front of everyone.

    The next day, at her bail hearing, Steph refuses to plead unfit to go to trial, and pleads not guilty to murdering Terence. Can Steph clear her name, or has she just made a huge mistake?

    Simon misreads the signals

    Simon gets a message from Tash, telling him that she will be paying a visit. Later, he is shocked when Tash arrives – with her new fiancé Russell in tow. She tells him that she’s only arranged the meeting to ask that he give her away.

    Afterwards, Diane comforts a devastated and drunken Simon. He’s left feeling embarrassed when he misreads her goodwill as something else entirely.

    4 Emmerdale spoilers tonight: Caleb’s world is in tatters following devastating Ruby revelation

    In Emmerdale spoilers tonight (Friday, January 17) Caleb Miligan is left reeling following last night’s revelations. This came after he learned the truth about Ruby and Anthony – discovering that he had raped Ruby as a teenager, and was Steph’s biological father.

    Caleb discovered earlier this week that Steph isn’t his daughter by blood, having come across a letter containing the results of a DNA test requested by Ruby. He confronted Ruby and, as she attempted to protect her daughter, she let him believe that she’d been the product of unfaithfulness.

    Caleb duly kicked her out, only to stumble across the truth with Chas last night (Thursday, January 16). And now, with his life having crumbled to pieces, Caleb has to come to terms with this bombshell news. What will he decide to do?

    Elsewhere, a disgraced Wendy makes a momentous decision, one villager says goodbye, and a reward draws some unwanted attention.

  • Meena Jutla mention sends fans into a frenzy as they beg for her return to kill ‘half the cast’ – and Dawn is No.1 on the hit list

    Meena Jutla mention sends fans into a frenzy as they beg for her return to kill ‘half the cast’ – and Dawn is No.1 on the hit list

    Fans of Emmerdale were thrown into a frenzy today as the name of fan-favourite Meena Jutla was invoked during the episode, sparking hopes she’d return. Murderous Meena was one of the soap’s most popular villains in her time, killing Liam’s teenage daughter and holding her own sister hostage, among other iconic crimes.

    Manpreet brought up her name again tonight – and fans are hoping she might return to, ahem, ‘take out’ a few other members of the cast.

    This came as Wendy’s recent gossip continued to make headlines. After unwittingly sharing details of her unsavoury past, the journalist from the Hotten Courier had forced her to dish the dirt on Rhona and Ella too, while she was at it.

    Wendy came clean tonight (Thursday, January 16), and told an appalled Liam how she’d leaked details of Ella’s past.

    Wendy comes clean

    With the journalist blackmailing Wendy over her lack of appropriate nursing qualifications, she quickly found the situation spiralling out of her control.

    “Never trust a journalist,” (charming) chided a disappointed Liam, as they attempted to dig her out of the hole.

    As she came clean to Liam, Wendy was forced to tell Manpreet, Bob and Ella what she’d been up to. Wendy’s confession left Manpreet suitably disgusted. It was then that she brought up a certain blast from the past so that everyone would understand the gravity of the situation.

    “See, I thought, after Meena, things couldn’t get any worse,” a disgusted Manpreet said, “but this could destroy us.”

    Emmerdale fans demand the return of Meena Jutla

    This stray line from Manpreet was all viewers needed to get back down the rabbit hole of Meena Jutla fandom – assembling a hit list in anticipation.

    “The mere mention of Meena is making me want them to bring her back and take half this lot out!! Writers must know half of this is pure dross. Ruby’s story deserves better than this,” wrote one fan.

    “Need Meena back to get rid of dawn and a few other annoying people,” said another.

    “Meena, come back and kill off Dismal. I’m begging you,” said a third.

    “Love a little Meena mention,” wrote another, more innocently.

    Fans have long hoped for the return of Meena to Emmerdale. And, with Dawn currently infuriating fans by poisoning Kim Tate and betraying Billy by snogging Joe, viewers would love to see her return to her murderous ways. Sorry Dawn.

  • Emmerdale’s Ruby defended over decision not to tell Caleb the truth about Anthony: ‘Stop victim shaming’

    Emmerdale’s Ruby defended over decision not to tell Caleb the truth about Anthony: ‘Stop victim shaming’

    Fans of Emmerdale have leapt to the defense of Ruby Fox-Miligan following last night’s episode, which came as Caleb learned that Steph is not his daughter. Rooting around in Ruby’s handbag, he stumbled across the results of a DNA test – confirming Ruby’s worst fears.

    Assuming that Ruby had cheated on him years ago, Caleb kicked off – and kicked her out too. Ruby was devastated to learn that Steph is Anthony’s daughter. Heartbroken as she was, Ruby said nothing, leaving many viewers confused.

    To many, Ruby should have revealed the truth to Caleb – that her father raped her as a teenager. The reality, however, is not nearly so simple.

    ‘Stop victim shaming’ demand Emmerdale fans as Ruby stays silent

    Writing on social media, a number of Emmerdale fans defended Ruby’s choice not to tell Caleb, highlighting the terrible position she had been put in.

    “She doesn’t tell him because she is protecting Steph. Don’t be so quick to judge and stop victim blaming. Ruby is suffering so much but she wants to protect her daughter from this nightmare. My heart goes out to Ruby she is a great character,” wrote one fan on Instagram.

    “Why didn’t she just tell him?” Sadly this isn’t something that is so easy to tell. Esp if she’s been told time and time again that she wouldn’t be believed etc. Hopefully he does find out the truth soon though. Bless her,” said another.

    “It’s awful for Ruby. I was shouting at the tv for her to tell Caleb even tho it’s obviously not an easy thing to tell,” a third sympathised.

    “People blaming her over something she had no control over and say in,” wrote a fourth.

  • Marlon to die from pneumonia, Emmerdale fans convinced

    Marlon to die from pneumonia, Emmerdale fans convinced

    Fans of Emmerdale have become convinced that an increasingly poorly-looking Marlon Dingle will die from pneumonia. This comes as he fell ill during his frantic search for daughter April, developing a nasty cough.

    In a week of ups and downs for Marlon, he learned that April is alive – and living rough on the streets of Leeds. He took off in hot pursuit, finding Ross there too. The pair made amends, but April remains elusive, her whereabouts unknown.

    Marlon may not have found April, but he did pick something up from on the streets – a nasty bug.

    Marlon taken ill amid April search

    As he swapped notes with Bob and Laurel in The Woolpack last night (Wednesday, January 15), an unwell-looking Marlon began to exhibit a nasty cough.  As he coughed and spluttered all over the pub (seriously, cover your mouth) fans are convinced that he might have pneumonia.

    This is particularly worrying, given the flash-forward the soap shared several weeks ago – one of which showed Cain Dingle weeping over a mystery grave.

    Not that we’re convinced Cain would be particularly bothered at the prospect of Marlon going six feet under, but could it possibly be pneumonia-stricken Marlon in the ground?

    Emmerdale fans convinced Marlon will die of pneumonia

    Writing on X as these scenes aired, viewers shared their theories as to what’s up with Marlon. And the popular diagnosis was that of pneumonia for Marlon.

    “Could it be Marlon in the grave? He could end up with pneumonia and end up dying from it. Just a theory,” predicted one fan, invoking one of the five flash-forwards.

    “Marlon will end up with Pneumonia,” said another.

    “All the shouting has given Marlon a bad cough now, pneumonia storyline coming soon for Marlon,” wrote a third.

    “Was Marl’s pneumonia brought on by over-acting???” another joked, somewhat uncharitably.

    Is Marlon at death’s door?

  • Ruby DNA results branded ‘Too much’ by heartbroken fans

    Ruby DNA results branded ‘Too much’ by heartbroken fans

    Heartbroken fans of Emmerdale have branded last night’s revelations a step too far – following confirmation of Ruby Fox-Miligan‘s worst fears, as DNA test results revealed that Anthony is indeed Steph’s biological father. Ruby was left reeling.

    To make matters worse, it was Caleb who revealed the news, finding the results letter as he poked around in Ruby’s bag. She’d already decided not to open the letter, but the cat was out of the bag now.

    And, assuming that she’d betrayed him, Caleb kicked her out, seemingly ending their marriage for good. Ruby was double-devastated, first as her worst fears came true, and then by the apparent collapse of her marriage.

    Emmerdale fans slam ‘rank’ Ruby DNA results reveal

    In the wake of last night’s bombshell (airing Wednesday, January 15), fans took to social media to share their thoughts. And many agreed that it was a simply too much.

    “I’m really going to need there to be a ‘mix up’ with the test results, because this is rank. The story overall is good, but they could have told it without the whole mother/sister angle. Aside from shock value and drawing this out for months, what will it achieve? It’s just a big ick,” wrote one fan on Reddit.

    “Bloody well said, a sick story, far too much for what is supposed to be light entertainment,” agreed another disgusted viewer.

    “I can’t believe that the writers chose to make Anthony Steph’s biological father, instead of Caleb. Making them mother and daughter, as well as half-sisters, is just disgusting,” said a third.

    “I hate it. I can cope with the story overall, but this just feels too much, and now we’re going to be stuck dragging it out for months,” another wrote.

    Has Emmerdale gone too far?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Marlon despaired as Rhona’s past came back to haunt her

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Marlon despaired as Rhona’s past came back to haunt her

    In Emmerdale tonight, Marlon Dingle despaired as the local newspapers dredged up ghosts from Rhona’s past amid the disappearance of April. As her painkiller addiction and baby kidnapping hit the headlines, Marlon’s fears that April might be dead only grew.

    Elsewhere, as a guilty Dawn tried to avoid Joe, he attempted to build bridges with Noah – only for an angry Ross to try and warn him off. Meanwhile, Cain and the boys gave Moira some much-needed support, and Anthony had his algebra lesson with Angelica.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, January 13.

    Marlon despaired in Emmerdale tonight

    As the episode began, Marlon had a vivid dream of April’s death, picturing himself running through the woods, where police had found her body. He woke up in a state, having slept on the sofa to guard for any more intruders.

    As Mary rallied the troops, Marlon was frustrated that everyone else seemed to be getting back to normal. Vanessa had some more bad news for the family – popping around, she showed the family a Hotten Courier article dredging up Rhona’s past, her painkiller addiction and the whole kidnapping baby Ivy thing.

    At The Woolpack, Marlon wallowed in the worst of the comments. Mary’s fears that April might be dead left him even more upset and angry, and he lashed out – publicly screaming at Mary and the others for having given up.

    Out back, he confided in Rhona about his nightmare – and his fears that Mary might be right. Instead, a visit from case worker Anna had good news – CCTV footage had spitted April on the streets of Leeds, very much alive and well.

    Good news for once!

    Joe’s sick, and Ross passed on a message

    Marlon wasn’t the only one who had a bad night’s sleep – Joe Tate awoke, immediately downing a handful of pills to manage his mystery illness.

    He paid visit to Noah, hoping to make amends for badmouthing the Dingles. Trying to get into his half-brother’s good books, he offered to put in a good word with a mate to score them both some VIP tickets to a Leeds match.

    Just then, a bickering Charity and Ross walked in. Charity was less than happy to see Joe hanging around, and quickly gave him his marching orders. Ross, meanwhile, was even less pleased to see the man he held responsible for his acid attack.

    With Joe gone, Charity tried to bar Noah from seeing his half-sibling – but this only succeeded in helping Noah over to Joe’s side. Charity bonded with Ross over her distaste for Joe – telling him she’d put in a good word with Moses if he passed on a ‘message.’

    Sneaking onto Home Farm, Ross confronted Joe with the ‘receipts’ – warning him that he’d be a dead man if he went near Noah again. Will Joe get the message?

    Dawn felt guilty as Joe swaggered about

    At Home Farm, Dawn tried to hide her guilty conscience from Billy. Not easy when the man she locked lips with is living under the same roof. As she kissed her husband goodbye, Joe accused her of ‘overcompensating’ and feeling jealous about his other exploits.

    Moira spent the day with her family

    Moira was in a rush to complete the household work before radiotherapy tomorrow. A nervous Moira faced questioning from the kids while Cain dished out the chores to an annoyed Matty.

    Looking to do something nice with the boys, Moira promised to take them out to the climbing wall. As the family left, Cain spotted Kyle thieving cash from the family funds jar. What is the lad up to?

    Later, in the cafe, Cain stood by Moira, pledging to stick by her throughout her procedure. Later, he also covered for Kyle when she discovered the money missing from the jar.

    At least the money had been put to a good cause – and, as Kyle arrived home, he handed over a gift to Moira from him and Isaac; a special moisturizer for radiotherapy patients.

    “Knowing that I’ve got you three by my side, I think I can cope with anything,” a loved-up Moira swooned. Cue the guilty looks from Cain.

    Anthony got his feet under Nicola’s table on Emmerdale tonight

    As news about Rhona’s past began to spread, Nicola was quick to point out to Anthony that the article’s claims were all true. “What happened in the past should stay there,” she said, charitably. Anthony would no doubt agree.

    Following his lesson with Angelica, he was full of praise, describing her as a model student. Thrilled by her daughter’s progress, Nicola told him he’d have to come around for some of her, uh, lamb and date tagine. Pardon us – for once, Anthony isn’t the only thing turning our stomach.
