In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Eric Pollard’s issues seem to get even more out of control.
Over the last few weeks, fans have watched as Pollard’s health has deteriorated more and more. The long-standing character was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
His symptoms have been getting worse as he deals with a shortage of medication. One episode saw him walking around the village in his pyjamas after he struggled to move.
But things began looking up for him after Brenda accepted his marriage proposal. However when their engagement party ends with Eric making a huge confession to Leyla, things go awry.

Over the years there have been some iconic Emmerdale couples. And when the writing is done right, we see incredible couples take over the Dales.
But quite often in soaps, storylines tend to go down a route that makes no sense. And our favourite couples often find themselves torn apart.
Just this week this was the case with the adored Emmerdale couple, Cain and Moira. As he waited for his wife to get through brain surgery, Cain found himself drunk and sleeping with Ruby, his brother’s wife.
Our guess is when Moira finds out (which is inevitable in soap world), it will tear the couple apart once again. And for another useless reason. Soaps need to also show happy long-term relationships.
So here is a round-up of some happy couples that found themselves ruined by storylines. While some may have made their way back together, fans will never forget the random break-ups which were very unnecessary.
Emmerdale couples: Kim and Will (Photo by ITV/Shutterstock)
Emmerdale couples 1: Will and Kim
When you think of Kim Tate, you immediately think icon. And when she arrived back in the village in 2019, after 20 years away, she was still the Kim everybody remembered.
But since her return, fans have been treated to a softer side of Kim, which included her finding love with Will Taylor.Â
The unexpected couple very quickly became adored, and fans were rooting for them to go the distance. After a bumpy day, the couple successfully tied the knot in 2022. But two years later, they’re no longer together.
One of the best things about this Emmerdale couple, was that they always seemed like a team. So when Will had a one-night stand with ex-wife, Rose, viewers were left baffled.
It continued to get ugly between Kim and Will from there as she secretly knew about it and blackmailed him. Then when he discovered it was her, she ended their marriage. The storyline didn’t sit well with fans who thought Kim and Will were much better together.

Emmerdale couples 2: Zak and Lisa
One of the most iconic Emmerdale couples would be Zak and Lisa Dingle. When the couple first met in 1996 they were instantly taken with each other. Two years later, they tied the knot.
They were the heart and soul of the Dingle clan, and a truly loved couple through the entirety of the Emmerdale fanbase. For years they were two characters who always put each other and their family first, and wouldn’t dream of anything else. Until Zak’s bizarre affair.
In a storyline that still confuses everybody, Zak strayed from his true love Lisa, and embarked on an affair with Joanie Wright in November 2015.
In true soap fashion the affair was revealed on Christmas Day, temporarily marking the end of Zak and Lisa. The storyline event went as far as Zak and Joanie getting married. But three months into their marriage, Zak finally had the realisation he made a huge mistake.
While the couple reunited and stayed by each other’s side up until Lisa’s tragic death, fans never fully saw them the same way again. And that’s because it was an entirely avoidable plot that made no sense.

Emmerdale couples 3: Chas and Paddy
This Emmerdale couple kept finding their way back to each other. But their most recent break-up seems to be final, and completely avoidable.
Chas and Paddy rekindled their past relationship in 2017, and the couple went on a heartbreaking journey together. Their baby was diagnosed with bilateral renal agenesis, a condition that prevents the kidneys from developing properly. With no chance of survival they said goodbye moments after Grace was born.
But then they had Eve Dingle, and it gave them some happiness back into their lives. All seemed as well as it could be. So when Chas had an affair with Al Chapman, it ruined the couple.
It was an unnecessary plot-line, especially after all they had been through together. While they may be amicable friends now, breaking up their relationship was disappointing.

4. David and Tracy
David and Tracy seemed like a happy family throughout their time together. They supported each other through the troubling situations they faced.
When David was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, Tracy was there to support him through every step. Then David proposed to her many times before she finally accepted.
But just when things seemed to be going well for the happily married couple, something changed. Not only did David cheat on her with Leyla, he also failed to support her when she was being harassed by an old client.
This all culminated in Tracy leaving him. But fans all wonder, was it really necessary to go down that route? They were happily married.

5. Robert and Aaron
This one still stings for a lot of Emmerdale fans, as the much-loved Robron were temporarily torn apart because Robert cheated on Aaron, while he was in prison. Which just so happened to have been a huge concern of Aaron’s that Robert kept assuring would never happen.
The couple had faced so much over their years together, and still are one of Emmerdale’s most loved couples. Aaron eventually forgave Robert, and the pair reunited.
But after the unnecessary one-night stand, it was impossible to understand why the storyline had to take that direction, instead of allowing them to just be happy.
Even years after their last break-up, if Robert returned to our screens, we’re sure fans would immediately want them back together.

6. Tracy and Nate
Tracy found herself at the centre of another cheating scandal – but this time she was the one cheating. Her and Nate were happily married, with their daughter Frankie.
But after less than a year of marriage, Tracy decided they aren’t actually compatible together, and left him. However, the last while of their relationship she had been having an affair with his uncle Caleb.
They reconnected after a while, but things were never the same, and when Nate wanted to leave the village, the pair ended their relationship for good.

7. Charity and Vanessa
Another Emmerdale couple that will go down in history is Vanity. Charity and Vanessa were another unexpected pair. But they worked perfectly together.
When they got engaged, Emmerdale fans were beyond thrilled. But they never made it down the aisle.
While the writers wrote their break-up into the show to facilitate Michelle Hardwick’s maternity leave, fans couldn’t help but wonder if there was a different way to do it.
Charity cheating on Vanessa with Mackenzie – who she is in a relationship with now – just felt like a disservice to a pairing that was so adored by fans.
Emmerdale’s Tom King could be set to die in a huge Christmas whodunnit storyline, according to a new fan theory.
It’s been a year since Tom started his horrible abuse towards Belle Dingle. At the very start of their relationship things appeared to be going well. But slowly Tom began switch, becoming more and more evil as the episodes went on.
Eventually it turned into a full abusive relationship – both emotionally and physically. Viewers have been deeply disturbed by some of the twists and turns in the storyline so far. But could the biggest plot twist be right around the corner?
As fans know Emmerdale’s Tom’s time is running out, as it’s been confirmed that the end is in sight. While many hope that ending is Belle getting the justice she deserves, could it actually be Tom’s death?
A new fan theory on Reddit appears to suggest that a huge murder whodunnit is just around the corner. And they have the clues to back them up.

Emmerdale’s Tom King murdered Christmas?
The first user to put the theory forward wrote: “They’re setting Tom up to be killed at Christmas. I’m calling it. A tired old soap plot line but you can see it coming. The way he’s in people’s faces – like Cain and Paddy. He’s going around the entire village giving everyone a reason to kill him.”
The fan even gave suggestions on the suspects and how it could be revealed to the audience: “There will be tonnes of episodes showing who did what from their perspective. It will end up being Amelia that kills him. Or someone totally random like Claudette.”
While killing the villain in a soap mystery is a storyline that has happened countless times, even recently in their ITV rival soap, Coronation Street, many hoped Tom would face the justice Belle deserved.
One fan admitted they hope this isn’t what the writers are lining up. They even explained they want Piper the dog to come back, which will help prove Belle’s case.

Fans predict Tom’s ending
“I personally would enjoy a scenario where his lies and misdeeds are exposed, culminating in Piper returning. Then he goes to prison. It would be a far more satisfying outcome.”
Another agreed, adding they think it will take centre stage on Christmas Day. “I think it will happen on Christmas Day. It will be similar to Joel in Corrie. So similar that Belle will be the killer.”
While a third fan agreed they think he will die, they don’t think it will be a murder.
“Everything will come out about him. But rather than being killed by someone, he will die accidentally. Then none of the characters are trapped in a murder storyline, and Belle and us viewers get to move on from Tom.”
Well, Christmas Day isn’t too far away. So will Tom face justice in the way Belle deserves? Or is there about to be another murderer in the Dales?
In a twist that nobody saw coming (or wanted), Cain Dingle cheated on his wife while she was in brain surgery – with his sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan.
Viewers were left shocked at the end of last night’s episode (November 20), as Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby slept together. Many took to social media to display their anger at the storyline.
Cain and Moira have always been one of the biggest and strongest power couples in Emmerdale, but with this latest twist, everyone can’t help feeling very let down.
Throwing a cheating storyline in the middle of a powerful health storyline has upset fans. Not only that, but after all Cain and Moira have faced, and her previous affair with Nate, was it really necessary?
But it seems fans weren’t the only ones surprised by it, as Ruby actress Beth Cordingly has spoken out about her reaction.

As Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby sleep together – actress speaks out
Taking to her Instagram after the episode aired, Beth posted a video to her followers. In the video she has a fearful expression on her face and admits: “I know. It’s really bad.”
She continued by worrying: “What’s going to happen when Moira finds out? I’m scared.”
Beth also mentioned Caleb’s reaction won’t be good, but admitted “Moira is probably more scary” between the pair.
The Emmerdale star went on to tell her followers what it was like when she first heard the news.
“When they told me in the storyline meeting that was going to happen, I literally went like this [Screaming]”, she confessed.
In the caption for the post, Beth wrote: “Tonight’s episode. I KNOW. Not a good idea.”
So it looks like even the cast weren’t too joyous of the storyline, and fans were quick to comment on her post letting her know what a shock it was.
One commented: “I’m actually unwell over it.”
Another predicted Moira’s reaction: “Hope you’re ready for a gift from Glasgow!”

How will Moira react?
It wasn’t long ago Moira accidentally tried to kill Ruby when she was hallucinating Emma Barton, so when she finds out what happened between her and Cain, the reaction could be even worse.
Both Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby have been involved in huge storylines recently. Cain has been trying to deal with Moira’s brain tumour (Not very well). Last night was a Cain and Moira special, and although fans were angry with the ending, the first half, with the return of Moira’s dead daughter Holly, served as an emotional treat.
Elsewhere, Ruby’s daughter Steph, and her father, Anthony, have arrived in the Dales. While she is keen for Steph to stay, she’s determined to get rid of Anthony.
But with this latest Emmerdale twist, what does the future hold for Coira? Could she ever forgive Cain? And how will Caleb react when he hears his wife has slept with his brother?

Fans have been left annoyed as the latest Emmerdale episode featured a very abrupt ending. The ITV show appeared to be cut short, leaving many annoyed and curious.
Throughout the show, Moira kept telling Cain he should prepare for the worst, but in true Cain fashion, he refused to even consider that was an option.
After Moira checked that he knew where her will was in an emotional conversation, Cain stormed out of the house.
His wife went to the one person she knew could get through to Cain; Chas Dingle. She had a similar conversation with her, asking her sister-in-law to look out for her family if anything were to happen to her.
Chas agreed to this request, and the pair shared a teary-eyed hug. But when viewers next saw Cain, things looked a tad suspicious.
Cain was in the garage and it seemed like there was something in the boot of his car. He stood holding the boot open, clearly emotional.

Fans slam abrupt Emmerdale episode ending
But before anyone had a chance to process the scene, the theme tune came on and the credits rolled. Many fans thought the Emmerdale episode had quite a sudden ending.
Taking to social media, one wrote: “That felt like a very sudden ending. Was the episode cut short?”
Another echoed: “Feels like there should have been more to that Emmerdale episode. How come it ended so abruptly?”
“How dare ITV cut Cain’s scene like that…” said one more
Many others agreed that the final scene should have played out longer, questioning why exactly ITV cut it short.
While the scene is still very quick on the ITVX version, it appears to last a tad longer than the live TV version last night. So it seems that it was cut short for an unknown reason.

The episode set up tonight’s beautifully crafted special episode that centres around Moira finally getting her brain surgery.
No stranger to a unique structure, tonight’s Emmerdale follows the day of the procedure – but Cain’s day is told in reverse chronological order.
So the question remains, was Cain hiding something in his boot? Or was he just emotional over Moira’s procedure? And how will he cope when she goes in for surgery?

A new fan theory predicts Ruby Miligan in Emmerdale may have been abused by her father, Anthony. And viewers are now questioning if Steph is really Caleb Miligan‘s daughter at all.
Emmerdale has been getting some new additions recently as Ruby’s dad Anthony, and her daughter, Steph Miligan, have arrived in the village.
Ruby’s family life seems to be nothing but drama. Steph revealed she didn’t want a relationship with her parents, and instead only wanted her inheritance from Ruby’s dead mum.
But in last night’s episode of Emmerdale (November 19), Steph tricked her mum into meeting with Anthony, by pretending she wanted to chat.
It was immediately clear there is a lot of history between Ruby and Anthony, but could it be something more sinister?

Emmerdale:Â Ruby has ‘sinister’ past with Anthony, fans predict
Viewers found out Ruby’s parents wanted her to have a termination instead of going through with her pregnancy. But after her reaction to him being back in the village, many think there is something else going on.
Ruby had a very extreme reaction to seeing Anthony again, making it clear she will never forgive him. Then when Caleb gave her the box which Anthony had tried to earlier that day, she got angry at her husband.
Taking to social media after last night’s episode, fans speculated.
One wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter): “Ruby despises her dad, but why? Is there something far more sinister? He’s creepy?”
Another penned: “Are they going to do a Ruby’s daughter is also her sister type of storyline and that’s really why she hates her dad so much?”

“No way is that the reaction of someone who was told to leave home because they got pregnant. That seems to be the reaction of someone who’s been abused. Is he Steph’s dad, not grandad?”
If the fan theory is true then it makes sense why Ruby reacted in that way towards her father. And if so, will she ever open up to Caleb?

In Emmerdale spoilers for next week time seems to be running out for Tom as he is once again taken in for questioning. Could this be the beginning of the end?
Over the last few weeks Tom has been trying his best to act innocent, but even Amelia began to question him after his outburst on bonfire night. However he was able to sweet talk her around once again. But when he aggressively removes her from the house next week, could that be all she needs to finally see his true colours?

Emmerdale spoilers: Tom and Amelia plan to move away
When Jimmy once again takes Tom’s side, Nicola makes it clear her mind will not be changed. But Tom takes this as a challenge.
To get back in Amelia’s good books, he pretends to pray, leading to them teaming up to change Nicola’s mind.
But their attempt fails, as Nicola seems to get even more annoyed whenever they try to get her on Team Tom. That’s when Tom decides to see how Amelia would feel about moving away together, but Sam overhears and heads straight to the police station.
At the station he is given more bad news, as it seems the police aren’t any closer to charging Tom. The next day Belle is also angry at the lack of progress, and decides to have a day spent relaxing.

Other villagers witness Tom’s outburst
That doesn’t last too long as while she’s upstairs in a bath, Tom lets himself in and steals a top from her suitcase. Belle quickly realises the top is missing, and after another run-in with her ex, she is left visibly upset.
Belle later notices Amelia is wearing her top, but after Amelia and Leyla are shocked at the accusation, she runs away in a panic.
Tom’s true colours begin to show once again to Amelia, as he lashes out at her for Belle’s accusation. Things get even worse when he physically forces her out of the house.
Thankfully, his outburst is witnessed by both Jimmy and DS Foy, who is there to bring him back to the station for more questions.
While Tom tries to use his usual tactics of talking himself out of situations, it doesn’t seem this will be that easy.
After seeing his violent side, will Jimmy finally turn his back on his nephew and restore peace with his family? And what exactly are the police questioning Tom about?

In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight (Monday, November 18), Ruby gets a shock when her and Caleb’s estranged daughter appears. But is everything good between the pair?
Elsewhere, amid his ongoing health problems, Eric gives a suggestion to Brenda that leaves her stunned.
All of this and more in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale.

Steph gets a right slap (Credit: ITV)
1. Steph shocks Ruby
The village is getting some new additions, as Ruby and Caleb’s estranged daughter Steph has made her appearance.
Someone who is shocked to see her however, is her mum, Ruby. After getting Caleb out of the way so they can have some mother-daughter time, Steph amazes her mum by announcing she was in contact with Helen.
Things heat up between the pair, as they seem to disagree on Steph’s upbringing. Ruby, convinced she gave her daughter a good childhood, can’t seem to understand Steph’s side. It comes to a blow when Ruby slaps Steph.
Steph doesn’t appear to want her mum’s apologies and instead storms out. When Caleb finds Ruby, she is evidently upset, trying to work out what Steph could mean.
He reassures her that in time Steph will come round, but it looks like Ruby could still be hiding something. What could it be?

Recent episodes have seen his Parkinson’s get so bad that he couldn’t get himself out of bed. In a turn of events, it was Caleb who came to his rescue.
But, despite his struggles, Eric tries to look to the future tonight. He suggests to Brenda that they should get married – at Christmas.
This is obviously very spontaneous for Brenda, as Christmas is only a month away. However, as Eric continues to keep his struggles a secret, it looks like he’s got no plans on changing that.
With Brenda’s exit looming, the question remains; will the couple get a happy ending? Or, will they be driven apart?

3. Caleb offers Jai a job
Ruby isn’t the only parent dealing with Steph’s appearance, as Caleb is trying to adjust to having his daughter around too.
He admits to his sister, Chas Dingle, that he can’t face the possibility of losing Steph again. So he’s determined to do what he can to get her to stick around.
To satisfy his daughter, he offers Jai a proper job after all of his scheming. But it’s safe to say Jai doesn’t trust him and quickly turns him down.
When Laurel hears about it, she’s not pleased at all. She tries to convince Jai that he should put his ego to the side and take the offer.
Will Steph stick around? And what will come from Caleb’s offer to Jai?

Fans have been left gushing at a recent photo of Emmerdale star Amelia Flanagan with her younger Coronation Street siblings.
Fan favourite Amelia Flanagan has played April Windsor on the soap since 2014. April is the daughter of Marlon Dingle and the late Donna Windsor.
The talented star was just six-years-old when she joined the soap and fans have loved getting to watch her grow up over the years.
Amelia, now 16, isn’t the only talented member of her family. Her younger brother and sister both star in Emmerdale’s rival soap Coronation Street as Joseph Brown and Hope Dobbs.
Their mum, Rachel Flanagan, loves to keep fans updated on their life outside the shows. She quite frequently will post photos of the stars off-screen, or lets fans know when they have had an exciting day at filming. But her most recent Instagram post has left fans surprised at just how grown up the Emmerdale star looks.
Amelia, along with her siblings were all smiles as they got dressed up for the Yorkshire’s Young Achievers 30th anniversary dinner.
One fan commented: “Wowsers! Perfect mix of mum and dad.”
Another noted: “Gorgeous. Looking so grown up!”
“Your three lovelies are growing up so fast!” a third penned.

Amelia’s time on Emmerdale
Over the years, Amelia has had her part in many huge Emmerdale storylines. In her first year at the soap, Amelia was thrown in the deep end.
Very early on April lost her mum, Donna. Other storylines have seen her deal with being cyber-bullied, and having to look after her father when he suffered a life-changing stroke.
At the beginning of the year, Amelia’s character refused to get in a car with her teen friends. This decision proved to be smart after Angelica King crashed, causing the death of Heath Hope.
While things may be calm for April at the moment, in that village nothing ever stays quiet for too long.
April previously had a close friendship with Ross Barton, who had been in a relationship with her mum before her death. While they didn’t have many scenes together in the run up to his exit six years ago, with his recent big return, could we see more scenes of the two of them?

Fans of Emmerdale were fuming yesterday (Thursday November 14) as ITV’s schedule change meant the show had been cancelled for football.
Between 7pm and 10pm last night ITV aired coverage of the UEFA Nations League football match between Greece and England. Instead of its usual hour-long episode of the soap.
While it’s not out of the ordinary for the channel to swap soaps for football, Emmerdale fans are getting progressively annoyed as they have to keep waiting longer for the next instalment.

Emmerdale fans share their anger at schedule change
One angry fan tried to provide a solution: “Sick of this happening. Have a channel especially for football. We all are not interested in football.”
Another simply wrote they were “fuming” at the decision.
“I am fed up with this happening due to football again”, a third soap fan commented.
Another fan was so outraged they penned: “Think I might stop watching ITV.”
“All these schedule changes for football are pathetic,” added one more.
However, it looks like things aren’t set to change anytime soon as ITV have been changing schedules to show England matches for years. And in 2023 they secured exclusive rights to broadcast certain England men’s football matches until 2028. Although it’s very likely that contract will be extended again.
This means Emmerdale viewers are unfortunately going to continue missing out on some village action. It’s always upsetting for ITV to skip a night, as fans are so heavily invested in the storylines that play out, desperately wanting to know what happens next.
Coming up in Emmerdale
Moira and Cain prepare for her operation (Credit: ITV)
On Wednesday night’s (November 13) trip to the Dales viewers saw Eric’s struggle without his usual Parkinson’s medication reach a whole new level, while Jai began to get suspicious about Caleb’s intentions.
Thankfully tonight’s episode of the soap will air as normal and is already available to stream on ITVX.
Tonight’s episode will see Tom turn his attention to Paddy. The villain makes it clear he will do what he has to to get his job at the vets back.
Elsewhere, Emmerdale is gearing up to air another special episode – this time for Moira and Cain. No stranger to new techniques, this special will focus on Cain throughout the day of Moira’s operation. But in a twist, it will be in reverse chronological order, beginning with Caleb finding Cain drunk with blood on his hands. But what happened?
