Moira Dingle has a new date for the operation to remove her brain tumour in Emmerdale spoilers next week. However, her relief quickly turns into worry when she thinks about the tough journey she has ahead of her.
Things haven’t been easy for Moira since she learned of her brain tumour. Its diagnosis came after weeks of unpredictable behaviour and violent outbursts.

Moira diagnosed with brain tumour after erratic outbursts
While Moira’s behaviour at first seemed like an understandable reaction to son Matty’s imprisonment, husband Cain grew worried when her mood swings and violence only escalated afterwards. First, she lashed out at Ruby, after seeing her and Cain together and assuming that the pair were having an affair (earning Ruby one of Moira’s signature ‘gifts from Glasgow’ as a result).
Things took an even stranger turn when she attempted to kiss Nate. After being confronted by a gloating Ruby, Moira trapped them both in the barn and nearly had them killed – burning it to the ground after hallucinating visions of Emma Barton.
Moira’s reckless behaviour and subsequent seizures were eventually attributed to a brain tumour. While she resisted the idea of an operation to remove it, she eventually relented after weeks of agony – including Zak Dingle’s death, more seizures and some dead cattle.
Thankfully, now she has a date for the operation. But will fear get the better of Moira?

Later, she asks a massive favour from friend Vanessa.

Billy Fletcher has his friends worried in Emmerdale spoilers next week, as his determination to earn money through fighting grows. With Billy taking part in another unlicensed match, both Mackenzie and John grow concerned for his well-being.
This comes as desperate Billy attempts to provide for Dawn and the children by taking part in unlicensed, underground boxing matches. Things haven’t been easy for the pair since doctors diagnosed little Evan with leukemia earlier this year.
The struggling dad has kept his violent second job a secret from Dawn – hiding both the fighting and subsequent injuries behind a series of (not all that convincing) lies and excuses.
But with Billy still set on his highly dangerous course of action, Mackenzie is shocked and worried for his well-being. And, even as John attempts to assist with an impromptu coaching session, he and Aaron try to talk Billy out of fighting again.

Nicola King notices that young Carl Jr seems to be scared of cousin Tom in Emmerdale spoilers next week. This comes after little Carl witnessed Tom smash up his tablet into pieces and was then bullied into silence.
Tom, of course, has a history of abuse towards anyone and everyone he perceives as ‘weaker’ than him – from long-suffering ex-wife Belle Dingle to Piper the Pup, through to poor unsuspecting Vinnie (ouch) and little Isaac too. Carl Jr was the latest of Tom’s victims, getting in his way after seeing him smash up his tablet, which had been full of incriminating videos of Belle.

Tom disposes of the evidence
If found, the tablet would have cleared Belle’s name. Tom‘s nasty little secret was almost revealed when Isaac stole the device, putting it in Moira’s hands. Moira then watched a few of Tom’s videos and realised exactly what he had been up to.
Unfortunately, before she could tell anyone what she had seen, Moira suffered a seizure and forgot all about the tablet. In the days which followed, Tom snuck into Butlers Farm, took the gadget back and disposed of the evidence.
This he did by smashing up the incriminating piece of equipment in his own garden. However, he’d been unaware at the time that someone had been snooping – Carl Jr, watching through the window as Tom disposed of the evidence.
Tom managed to keep Carl quiet, but for how long? And will Nicola finally begin to realise that something’s not right with Tom?

Emmerdale spoilers: Nicola grows uneasy
As the week begins, Nicola begins to notice that Carl seems to be afraid of Tom. Growing unsettled, she starts to sense that maybe something isn’t right with Jimmy’s nephew.

Alan tries to make amends to Steph
In the wake of his injury, Alan feels terrible about not believing Steph. He worries that maybe he did know about Terence’s abuse but could have buried it in the back of his mind.
Hoping to make amends, he tells Steph he wants her to be joint owner of the B&B. Sickened that he thinks he can buy her back, Steph rejects his offer.
Afterwards, she tells the police that she’s decided to drop the charges against Terence. The police are concerned when they are unable to find and question Terence. Covering for his absence, Betty and Alan claim he’s run off. When the police ask him about the injury to his head, Alan tells them that he took a fall.
Later, Betty visits Steph and tells her that her father needs her, begging her not to let Alan. And, when Robert turns up at the B&B with her statement to sign, Steph is thrown. She tells him that she’s decided to drop the charges against Terence.
In the Woolpack, Adam tries to cheer Steph up, reminding her that Terence has gone for good. Looking to the future, Steph starts to reconsider Alan’s B&B offer.

Jasmine and Daz play detective
Hari tells the Sugdens that their water supply has been contaminated with antifreeze. He assures Andy and Jack that there will be a thorough investigation of how the water came to be contaminated.
When he tells them that they’ll be looking upstream, Jack notes that the Kings’ development is in that direction. Overhearing, Daz decides to play detective. Enlisting Jasmine, the pair pay a visit to the Kings’ development, where they find some rusty barrels.
Believing the barrels to be the root of the Sugdens’ problem, Daz takes a picture on his phone. However, Jimmy and Matthew catch him and Jasmine, and march them both into a portacabin – where Matthew destroys the phone.
Terrified, Daz and Jasmine flee. Meanwhile, Matthew asks Jimmy about the antifreeze, who claims that he asked for it to be moved ages ago. Fuming, Matthew forces Jimmy to move the evidence.
Back at the farm, Jack is angry as the Kings get off Scot-free. Convinced that the Kings were responsible, he and Andy show an environmental officer around. Meanwhile, dejected Daz is convinced that he’s spoiled the family’s chance to nail the Kings. Jasmine convinces him to tell Andy what happened.
Later, at the Kings’ development, the environmental officer questions Matthew and Jimmy, who give him a tour of the site. The officer is suspicious as he notes signs of disturbance at the ditch, but the brothers feign innocence. The officer takes samples from the ditch away for testing.
Back at the farm, a furious Jack tells Andy and Daz that the officer doesn’t hold much hope. Convinced that the Kings have gotten away with it, Jack confronts Matthew in the pub, demanding he tells the truth. Jack is left helpless as an unruffled Matthew denies all knowledge.
Also in classic Emmerdale spoilers

When Edna asks if they should tell Matthew that Sadie will be visiting, Tom suggests it’s best that his son remains in the dark.

Fans of Emmerdale have grown upset following the latest scheduling announcement from broadcaster ITV. In a massive shake-up to TV schedules, the soap will now be streaming on ITVX from 7am on weekdays – starting with next week’s episodes.
Along with fellow ITV soap Coronation Street, Emmerdale will be part of an all-new soaps destination feature on streaming service ITVX. This means that all-new episodes will be made available ahead of their usual transmission time during the week.
“This is great news for soap fans! Having the ability to catch your favourite show at a time that suits you fits perfectly with people’s busy days and flexible lives. And who doesn’t love the idea of watching the latest Dingle drama in the Dales or calamity on the Cobbles on the tram to work, or over a brew after dropping the kids at school! As a soap nerd, I should also say that the new soap page is an absolute treat. It’s a one-stop shop for fans of Coronation Street and Emmerdale and it will now be so easy to enjoy your favourite shows, and delve into their illustrious histories and beyond,” agreed Iain MacLeod, Executive Producer for Continuing Drama at ITV.
Good news for early-risers hoping for an early fix of their favourite soap. However, others aren’t quite so happy…

Emmerdale fans unhappy at early release
Writing on X as the announcement landed, fans shared their disappointment – with many fearing that spoilers would be even harder to avoid than usual now.
“Hate this as for people who work the spoilers are out before they get home to watch,” wrote one fan.
“Note to self then to avoid social media, as spoilers will be more visible if episodes are shown on ITVX before the normal time,” said another.
“Why would I want to do that? I leave for work at 7.45am three days a week and wouldn’t have time to watch them,” complained a third.
“Not a fan of this,” said a fourth, simply enough.

… and here’s why it’s a good thing
It’s not all doom and gloom though. Emmerdale following EastEnders’ lead in dropping the episode on the morning of broadcast makes it more accessible than ever for viewers, allowing them to watch in their own time.
Spoilers may be harder to avoid, but it’s a positive move for Emmerdale and Corrie, making the soaps less beholden to terrestrial television and helping viewers to watch on their own terms.
Emmerdale’s all-new streaming schedule starts from next Monday, October 14. Viewers can stream from 7am on ITVX as the Dingles learn the shocking news that family patriarch Zak has passed away.
The new dedicated Soap area on ITV can be accessed through the “Dive Deeper into ITVX…” section in the new Soap collection area.

Womaniser, former Woolpack landlord and father to iconic soap villain Steph Stokes – Alan Turner was a member of Emmerdale royalty. The character appeared on the soap for over 30 years, and was a part of such major storylines as the 1999 plane crash and the murder of Shelley Williams.
In today’s episode of Classic Emmerdale (Friday, October 11), Alan learns the extent of son Terence’s evil, as he admits to raping sister Steph as a child. During the ensuing fallout, Terence grows violent and punches his father unconscious.
But who was Alan Turner exactly?

Who played Alan Turner on Emmerdale?
Alan Turner moved to the village in 1982 with wife Jill and two children, Terence and Steph (formerly Mary). He was a major player on the soap from 1918 – 2013, and was played by actor Richard Thorp.
Alan spent much of his time as an estate manager for NY Estates, doing deals with local businesses and council work. During this time, he clashed with rivals Joe Sugden and Seth Armstrong. Alan was also one of the village’s most renowned ladies’ men, dating secretary Caroline Bates, re-marrying Shirley Foster and, later, striking up a relationship with his daughter’s best friend!

Running the Woolpack
In 1991, after hearing that then-landlord Amos was selling up, Alan took over ownership of the Woolpack. As a shrewd businessman, Alan tried to modernise the country pub by opening a wine bar, installing a jukebox and even tried doing away with ales in favour of an all-new and fancy gourmet menu.
Alan’s wine bar was short-lived – being destroyed during the plane crash of 1993. Alan also helped out the emergency services in the aftermath of the disaster.
During this time, granddaughter Tricia Stokes arrived in the village – burning his beloved pub down when she let off fireworks behind the bar while he was on holiday. Although he had it rebuilt, Alan sold up the following year, in 1999. He then bought the Grange B&B.
The return of daughter Steph
In 2002, Alan’s daughter (and Tricia’s mother) returned to the village, now calling herself Steph. While their relationship was a volatile one, they bonded over Tricia’s tragic death in 2003, growing closer as a result.

Relationship to Shelley
Not long afterwards, Alan fell for Steph’s best friend, Shelley. Steph became instantly jealous, and her relationship with her best friend and father began to sour. Growing fed up of Steph’s constant bullying, Shelley left the village, causing Alan to start drinking heavily.
During his recovery, Steph developed a plan to take her father’s money and businesses for her own – drugging him into a docile state as she attempted to control him and his finances. Alan managed to extricate himself from Steph’s control, only barely managing to stop her from killing them both by driving to a quarry edge.
Meanwhile, evidence emerged that Steph had been holding Shelley hostage in the basement of the B&B. Alan believed that Steph had gone through with murdering Shelley – only for her to turn up from beyond the grave, at her own memorial service. Shelley’s return was short-lived, however, with Steph pushing her former best friend off a ferry and into a watery grave.
Terence was not who Alan thought he was (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Son Terence and Steph’s arrest
In 2006, Alan’s son Terence arrived in the village, amid claims that he’d sexually abused his sister as a child. Disbelieving Steph’s claims, Alan moved in with Terence. The truth was eventually revealed when Terence admitted to raping Steph later that year. During the ensuing fallout, Terence was killed, and Steph imprisoned for her brother’s murder.
Emmerdale pays tribute to Alan Turner star with commemorative episode
In July 2013, Alan announced that he was going travelling around France with his old biker friends. He returned off-screen in October that year – dying in his sleep before he could reunite with old friend Betty. He was aged 78 when he passed.
An hour-long episode was aired in June 2013, paying tribute to Alan and actor Richard Thorp, who had died in May that year.
