In the latest Classic Emmerdale spoilers for episodes airing on ITV3 on Wednesday, March 5, Perdy and Matthew get closer and so do Rosemary and Tom, while Andy and Katie feel the strain of secret parenting!
These episodes originally aired October 6 and 9 2006.
Katie’s stressed in Classic Emmerdale
After spending all day cooped up inside with baby Sarah, Katie snaps and takes her frustrations out on Daz. Sympathetic Diane suggests Katie take the little girl out for a walk to get some fresh air.
But when Andy spots them, he’s livid. He doesn’t want Sarah to be seen out in public.
Toni and Del reach an understanding
Elsewhere, Toni thanks Del for not going to the police and she admits she knows Del didn’t hurt her deliberately. Toni confides in Del that she’s worried Paddy is only with her because he pities her.

Tom’s raging – and so is Rosemary!
Tom’s furious when he finds out about the Hunt Ball and tells Matthew he wants nothing to do with it. But Matthew argues they’re not in a position to turn away business.
Later, Tom rejects his accountant’s plan for him to sell Home Farm and doesn’t turn up for the ball. Infuriated, Rosemary rages at Tom before the pair share a kiss. And when the ball is deemed a big success they toast the evening.

Matthew and Perdy get it on
Elsewhere, the drinks are flowing, and Matthew and Perdy agree to accompany one another to the ball – much to Rosemary’s chagrin! Their loud behaviour annoys Rosemary even more but they don’t care.
In fact, they sneak away from the party to have sex!
But when they rejoin the revellers, they’re unaware that Hari has been lurking and he knows what they’ve been up to!
Len gives Paddy a talking to in Classic Emmerdale
Toni agrees to move in with Len, and he’s shocked when he sees how badly she is scarred. So when Paddy is wallowing in self pity later, Len is quick to snap back. He reminds Paddy that Toni is the one who’s scarred for life.

According to her son Jacob – who frankly could have done with the support of his adoptive parents Alicia and David – they had excuses about not showing up. Alicia, we heard, has a broken leg, while David couldn’t come because his son Theo was poorly.
Nah, we didn’t think they were good enough reasons either, but hey ho.
Leyla being done dirty after her death led us to think about other Emmerdale characters who have gone out with a whimper rather than a bang.
Here’s our round-up of everyone who we think didn’t get the ending they deserved.
Harriet liked a bad boy – don’t we all?! (Credit: ITV)
Harriet Finch
We are still salty about how Harriet’s life in Emmerdale came to an end.
She was killed during the storm in the dramatic episodes marking Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary. Harriet had been in the village for several years as a police officer and as a vicar. She was part of the village for almost a decade and involved in some pretty big stories. But her funeral was understated. On-screen at least.
We don’t actually know what it was like because we didn’t get to see it!
Viewers saw some mourners including Will Taylor and his daughter Dawn Fletcher, head off to say goodbye to Harriet. Later we had a brief glimpse of the wake, but that was it. Very disappointing for such an important character!
Poor Suzy doesn’t get an on-screen funeral (Credit: ITV/Composite: EI)
Suzy Merton
Another off-screen funeral happens this week, when Suzy is laid to rest away from the village. She may never have had the dramatic stories other characters had, but she was really important in Emmerdale.
Her links to Holly Barton’s death, her being the catalyst for Leyla’s addiction, her romance with Vanessa, all meant she was a cog in the wheel of all sorts of drama. She deserved a better send-off than one we didn’t even see.
Frank’s funeral was shunned by the villagers who thought he was a thief (Credit: ITV)
Frank Clayton
When Frank Clayton died in a fire at the Sharmas’ sweet factory, everyone in the village thought he had stolen money from the safe before the explosion.
In truth, it was Kerry Wyatt and her daughter Amy who had nicked the cash. And not only were they the thieves, they had also started the fire by tampering with the CCTV in an attempt to cover their tracks.
Frank’s funeral was a muted affair, with everyone thinking he’d committed the crime. Of course, with Amy’s death in the frozen lake, it feels like justice has been done now but everyone still thinks Frank’s a criminal.
Carl killed his dad but no one knows! (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Tom King
Tom King – the original, not his evil, abusive grandson – was murdered when he was pushed through a window on his wedding day.
There was a line-up of suspects at the time, but eventually Carl confessed to his brothers Jimmy and Matthew that he’d pushed their dad. Carl eventually died at the hands of serial killer Cameron Murray. But though the truth came out among the family, no one else ever found out who the murderer really was. Which is a little bit odd.
Rebecca White died off-screen (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Rebecca White
We loved Rebecca White and we loved her romance with Ross Barton. So when Ross arrived back in the village without her, we weren’t happy. And we were even less happy when he revealed she had died!
It just feels so unnecessary to have her killed off screen and take away the little hope we had that she might return one day.
Heath’s funeral was a very old-fashioned affair with none of his friends or siblings (Credit: ITV)
Heath Hope
Heath was a sweet-natured, music-loving teen who was killed horribly in a car accident last year. His funeral was a strange affair – old-fashioned and sombre with none of his friends in attendance.
And it wasn’t just Heath’s friends who were missing. He had his twin sister Cathy, of course, but Heath’s dad Bob also has many other children – Josh, Jamie, Carly and Roxy who weren’t even mentioned.
And Heath’s late mum Viv was also mum to Scott – and stepmum to Kelly – who didn’t make an appearance either. Poor Heath really didn’t get the send-off he deserved.

Rosemary King is currently making Sadie’s life a misery in Classic Emmerdale as both her new and ex mother-in-law!
But while she started out as a thorn in Sadie’s side, she became a problem for the whole King family and met a VERY sorry end!
Here’s the lowdown.
Sadie and Rosemary were sworn enemies from day one (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Rosemary Sinclair
Rosemary arrived in Emmerdale early in 2006, as the disapproving future mother-in-law of Sadie King. Sadie was marrying Rosemary’s son, Alasdair, and Rosemary was NOT happy about it.
She tried to bribe Sadie on the wedding day, determined to put an end to the marriage before it had begun. Sadie refused, and the couple said their vows – but Matthew King turned up at the church and Sadie ran off with him instead!
Fuming, Rosemary made a deal with Sadie – she’d hand over the Sinclairs’ most valuable business if Sadie had the marriage annulled.
Sadie agreed.
But when it came to the handover, Rosemary fleeced Sadie, revealing the business was worthless. And she even told Sadie the meal she’d just eaten had been made from her beloved horse, Cossack! As it turned out, Rosemary was lying but Sadie believed her.
Rosemary returns to Emmerdale
In the summer of the same year, Rosemary returned to the village, with it being revealed she lived at nearby Oakwell Hall with her other son, Grayson, and his wife, Perdy.
She hit it off with Rodney Blackstock and Tom King – and soon saw an opportunity!
Rosemary and Tom’s romance
Rosemary and Tom got on well and began working together on various business deals. But there was more to their friendship and they were soon romantically involved – much to the horror of Tom’s sons.
On the quiet, Rosemary was struggling. Her fancy house was owned by her nephew, and her son Grayson was quickly gambling away all the family fortune.
Chas Dingle, meanwhile, could see that despite Rosemary’s murky reasons for starting a relationship with Tom, the pair were actually happy together. She convinced the King brothers to leave them alone.
Rosemary repaid the kindness by encouraging Tom’s dislike of Chas. With Rosemary’s support, he bullied and blackmailed Chas into ending her relationship with Carl and moving out.
Rosemary and Tom’s wedding day was eventful! (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Tom and Rosemary’s eventful wedding day!
Rosemary and Tom tied the knot on Christmas Day in 2006. Tom announced he was giving Rosemary the Home Farm Estate as a wedding present. Needless to say, the brothers were fuming. And so was Rosemary when Tom added that he wanted her to leave it to Carl in her will, rather than Grayson.
And so she was one of the many suspects when Tom was pushed out of a window on the wedding day and died!
Rosemary after Tom’s death in Emmerdale
Rosemary stayed at Home Farm, though Matthew and Jimmy both thought she’d murdered Tom and wanted her to leave.
When she found out the brothers had organised Tom’s funeral while she was away, she stole the body.
Things got even more awkward when the will was read and it was revealed Tom had a daughter – Scarlett – who they’d never known about. He’d had a fling with her mother Carrie while she was nursing his first wife, Mary. What a gem, eh?!
Carrie and Rosemary became allies, and relations between the Kings got worse.
Meanwhile, Rosemary became good friends with Zak Dingle and took young Belle under her wing, even paying her school fees.

Grayson and Perdy
Rosemary’s meddling continued with her son’s marriage. Still covering for Grayson’s gambling, she was determined to get rid of Perdy and marry Grayson off to someone she considered better. She messed with Perdy’s medication and the poor woman ended up being sectioned!
When Grayson realised what his mother had done, he threw her out and told her to leave Emmerdale forever. Rosemary vanished without a trace.
How did Rosemary die in Emmerdale?
The first time Rosemary died, it was all a set-up! She’d staged her disappearance and framed Matthew for her murder.
She’d written a letter to Grayson explaining what she was doing, which Perdy found. Shocked she took it to the Kings, who handed it over to the police, and Matthew was freed.
When Rosemary found out the police were looking for her, she killed herself on Christmas Day 2007. Her death happened off screen as she was hiding out in Miami!
She was buried with Tom but after the funeral, Matthew returned, dug up the coffin, put it in a bin lorry and crushed it!

Andy’s worried
Katie unburdens her worries about Sarah’s reappearance on Perdy. Perdy tells her she needs proper legal help. She offers to help her find some on the cheap.
But Andy’s fuming when he finds out Katie’s been talking. He’s worried the more people who know Sarah’s back, the more likely the Dingles will find out.
Rosemary’s plotting in Classic Emmerdale
Meanwhile, Rosemary implies that Grayson’s having an affair. Perdy finds a brochure for a luxury hotel. Rosemary points out it is near where Gray’s going for a business trip. But Perdy won’t take the bait – she says she booked the hotel herself.

Paige Sandhu is a legend among Emmerdale fans thanks to her role as deranged Dales killer Meena Jutla.
And now she is starring in a new role, playing Indian royalty in an upcoming film, Lioness.
But it’s not just her latest role that’s got her fans interested in what Paige is up to.
So we thought we’d give you an update on what Paige Sandhu is doing now
Thankfully the real-life Paige is nothing like her murderous alter-ego, Meena! (Credit: ITV)
Paige Sandhu in Emmerdale
Paige left Emmerdale in 2022 after Meena terrorised the village for two years. Her alter-ego Ms Jutla became one of Emmerdale’s worst serial killers, murdering Leanna Cavanagh, Ben Tucker and Andrea Tate on-screen, and with the death of her friend Nadine and her own father on her conscience too.
Her camp, gleeful, over-the-top approach to the murders and her fondness for keeping souvenirs taken from the victims had the viewers gripped.
Meena terrorised the village and we LOVED it! (Credit: ITV)
What’s Paige been up to since leaving Emmerdale?
Since leaving Emmerdale, Paige has been busy.
She landed a starring role in an upcoming major film called Lioness.
The film follows two British-Punjabi women, across two time periods. The first is Sophia Duleep Singh, who is played by Paige.
Sophia was a Punjabi princess who grew up in London after her father was exiled to Britain. Sophia became one of the leading members of the Suffragettes, fighting for women’s rights.
The film also focuses on a married woman in the 1990s called Mehak, who is played by Aditi Rao Hydari.

What else has Paige been up to?
Paige has been hitting the gym hard and last year revealed she’d been following a new workout regime that had helped her become super-fit.
“I went into this process expecting to maybe get stronger and fitter but I definitely didn’t realise how much better my sleep would be, my energy levels would be and the feeling of accomplishment I have,” she shared on her Instagram stories. “Yay! I’m excited to see the continued improvements and the feeling of taking care of myself and my body is damn damn good.”

It’s been another dramatic week in our Emmerdale review and once more it’s all about the men. All the men. Trying, as Chas put it early in the week, to “out-macho” one another.
There have been some fights, a bit of squaring up, a lot of shouting, a syringe full of summer fruits juice, and generally just loads of testosterone flying about all over the place.
Anyway, let’s crack open a cold beer, have a punch-up, and watch some sport. Because here’s this week’s Emmerdale review. Or should we say Men-erdale? No? Ah it was worth a shot.
Pouting won’t make this any better, Caleb (Credit: ITV)
So macho
Cain and Caleb seem to be stuck in an endless loop of arguing. At this point it seems the only resolution is for them either to decide they forgive each other and move on, or both leave the village forever, because frankly we can’t cope with all this sniping. Cain, Caleb, Ruby and Moira have all done terrible things. Let’s just leave it there, shall we?
Ruby’s story is now all about Caleb (Credit: ITV)
Once again a story that should be about women is about men (two stories in fact) in Emmerdale
Ruby’s abuse by her evil father Anthony, and Moira’s brain tumour are both huge stories. Ruby and Moira are big, bold, brilliant female characters. And Beth Cordingly, who plays Ruby, and Natalie J Robb, AKA Moira, are both amazing, accomplished actresses.
But somehow these stories told by these actresses have become secondary to Cain and Caleb’s feud. This has happened before when Lydia’s rape turned into ‘who killed Craig’. So we knew this was going to happen when Cain and Ruby slept together, and we know we’ve said this before in our Emmerdale review, but we really wish it hadn’t.
We want to see Ruby working through her feelings about her dad (surely she needs some sort of counselling for this?!) and Moira coping with her brain surgery, not to mention now also supporting Matty and Kyle through the loss of Amy. It feels like these huge stories are being lost.
John revealed where the body was – or did he? (Credit: ITV/ Composite EI!)
Emmerdale review: What is John up to?
We do not trust John Sugden. We’re pretty sure he was lying about where Anthony’s body is. We’re wondering if he had something to do with Nate’s body being in the icy lake. We’re not confident he’s being honest with Aaron about his past. Somehow he has manipulated things so he is apparently in charge of the Dingles now. He’s the boss. Even though he’s a Sugden.
And we love it!
John is so calm and still in a chaotic village full of chaotic characters. But he’s still in a way that suggests there’s a lot more to him than we already know. And we’re really liking this suggestion of darkness around him.
Lydia’s pics of Joe and Dawn are amazing! (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale review: Super sleuths Lydia and Kim
The highlight of our week was Kim and Lydia teaming up to find out what Joe is up to. Kim dubbing herself the ‘doyenne of dubiousness’ was genius. Lydia trailing Joe through the woods to meet Dawn, and then snapping pictures worthy of Hollywood’s finest paparazzo was hilarious. We are here for Tate and Dingle PIs being on the case.
Lucky for Ross that Joe’s not Batman (Credit: ITV)
Joe’s not Batman
“I’m not Batman,” Joe Tate told Dawn this week. Which made us laugh. But also he could be – he’s rich, suave, a bit tortured. He’s got the tragic backstory, the murdered parents (well, his mum was murdered, his dad just pretended to be murdered.) Just saying…
But superhero secret identities aside, we are bewildered by Joe and his weird secrets. What is going on? Why did he drug Noah? How did he get the strength to smash his way out of the barn when he could barely stand up? Who was the mysterious man who came to his rescue? Was he a doctor? What was the ‘short-term solution’ that was in the case?
It is confusing and slightly annoying. If he’s ill, then there’s a perfectly good hospital in Hotten, with excellent staff who we’re sure would take good care of him.
Just veering off topic slightly, we were also delighted to see Dawn reverting to type and being super-moody with Joe now too. That honeymoon period is short when it comes to Mrs Fletcher.
Who was Joe’s mysterious visitor? (Credit: ITV)
Steph is vile
Give it a rest, Steph.
Emmerdale review: Marlon is losing his mind over April
And you can give it a rest too, Marlon. Sleeping downstairs with the keys in your pocket? This is madness. MADNESS. How this man hasn’t given himself another stroke is anyone’s guess.

John Sugden revealed where he’d buried Anthony Fox’s body in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Wednesday, February 26).
But though the other accomplices in the murder all took him at his word – and Ruby even sobbed over her dad’s makeshift grave – we don’t believe him in the slightest!
Here’s everything we know.
Can John be trusted? (Credit: ITV/Composite: EI)
Emmerdale: John Sugden and the Anthony murder club?
In tonight’s episode, Aaron tried to talk his mum Chas out of going to the police about Anthony. He said he couldn’t go to the police without implicating John.
Chas thought she could tell Swirling and his mates just enough to put them off Aaron’s tail.
Aaron was not impressed. He said John was protecting him by not telling him where he had put Anthony’s corpse.
But Chas pointed out that John knew everything Aaron had done while Aaron didn’t know anything. She even questioned how Aaron knew he could trust John.
Aaron, though, said John was only involved because of him.
Later Aaron spoke to John and asked why he hadn’t told him what he’d done with the body.
“Knowing wasn’t in your interest,” John said.
But Aaron said he was being controlling. And then he told him all about what Chas had said. John responded by messaging everyone and asking them to meet him in the woods.
Cain, Caleb, Ruby, Chas and Aaron all obediently trooped into the snowy woods and waited. John said he wanted to ‘keep lines of communication open.’ And he said he wasn’t hiding anything or manipulating anyone.
“The less you know, the less chance of you incriminating yourself,” he said.
Then he revealed that Chas had considered going to the police!
But John said everyone was to blame and that they had to operate as a unit.
“If one falls, we all fall.”
And then he revealed that where they stood was where he’d buried Anthony.
“I’d like to think this proves you can trust me,” he said.
Everyone agreed.
But we did not!
Because John seems massively shifty if you ask us.

John Sugden: Cool, calm and collected. Like a psychopath
He was so calm when Anthony was killed. He swung into action and did what he needed to do without even pausing to think about it.
We know he’s got an army background, but that doesn’t make him a dab hand at hiding bodies. As he himself pointed out in tonight’s episode – it wasn’t an easy thing to do. And yet, he somehow managed to make it look pretty straightforward.
You know who does that? Psychopaths, that’s who.
John took Aaron to Anthony’s grave. Or so he said! (Credit: ITV)
Is he lying?
I mean, we’re not experts at burying bodies ourselves but we reckon that though it’s pretty obvious in a graveyard situation, in a wood – especially a snowy wood – it’s quite hard to know where a corpse lies.
That’s sort of the point.
So in our opinion, John could have taken his little band of followers anywhere he fancied, pointed to the ground and said ‘that’s it.’
Did he do just that? We think he could be lying…
Was John watching over Nate’s final resting place? (Credit: ITV/Composite: EI)
And his potential killer is out there, looking on as the rescue services dragged the limo from the water, and sending presents to Frankie for her birthday claiming to be from her dad.
Could that killer have been John? He was the last person to see poor Nate alive – at least, the last we know of.
Maybe we’re looking at a serial killer sitch here?
