    Follow-up: Mary and Suzy’s secret is out! Will it drive Mary to leave the village? All we know

    The Emmerdale village now knows about Mary Goskirk and the late Suzy Merton’s kiss. And, the fallout looks set to be huge.

    Unlike other soap secrets, this one really didn’t stay a secret for that long at all…

    But, as Mary burns bridges with grieving Vanessa, is she set to leave the Dales? Will Vanessa push her out?

    Mary and Suzy kiss secret is out in Emmerdale

    On the day of the limo crash, Mary visited Suzy and was stunned to find out that Suzy actually had feelings for her.

    Mary and Suzy had been avoiding telling each other how they really felt for over a year. But, Suzy couldn’t keep quiet any longer.

    She admitted to Mary that she was willing to ditch Vanessa and start a proper relationship with her instead (poor Ness!)

    As they kissed (and were caught by Leyla), Suzy was determined to speak to Vanessa and end things with her. But, the limo crash prevented this… Suzy sadly lost her life in the accident meaning that Suzy and Mary’s relationship ended before it really got off the ground. Tragic.

    Tonight (Thursday, March 13), after Vanessa read through Suzy’s phone (that miraculously survived the crash) and found out that she was seeing another woman, the truth came out.

    Rhona popped round to visit Ness and spotted her mum’s bracelet in the house. Little did she know that she’d just dropped her mum right in it.

    Adding two and two together, Ness realised that Mary was Suzy’s ‘other woman’ and had it out with her in the Woolpack. And, oh, she wasn’t afraid to put on a huge show for the punters. She was LIVID. At least Ross enjoyed the free entertainment with his pint even if he was stopped from capturing it on video and going viral online…

    Are Mary’s days in the village numbered?

    As Vanessa rightly said Mary is her ‘best friend’s mum.’ But, with the truth now out, Rhona might just be forced to take sides.

    And if Rhona happens to side with Ness, where would that leave Mary? While nothing’s been officially confirmed about Louise Jameson leaving the soap as Mary, Mary should expect a lot of heated conversations coming her way should she decided to stick around.

    Vanessa’s not impressed, but will she force Mary out of the Dales?

  • New fan theory suggests that former character is back and behind Manpreet blackmail just months after exit

    New fan theory suggests that former character is back and behind Manpreet blackmail just months after exit

    A new Emmerdale fan theory has ‘worked out’ who is behind the Manpreet blackmail messages – and it’s a familiar face.

    Manpreet’s been receiving some alarming texts recently, admitting to Ella that someone is threatening to expose her ‘dirty’ secret.

    But, could the person responsible be a former Emmerdale resident? A new theory suggests so.

    Emmerdale: Manpreet’s blackmail ordeal

    A flashback to the day of the limo crash recently revealed that Leyla had walked in on Manpreet and found out her huge secret. ‘It’s always the quiet ones…’

    After Leyla’s death, Manpreet started receiving blackmail messages threatening to expose her secret. Yes, another soap mystery, surprise, surprise.

    Manpreet then confided in Ella that she’d started posting explicit photos of herself online. It helped her feel some level of confidence after her break-up with Charles. We’re not sure Ella’s the best person to trust with a secret like this…

    Manpreet feared that if it got out, her whole medical license could be stripped from her (no pun intended.) Hindsight is a wonderful thing, Manpreet.

    Now, the blackmailer has downloaded all of Manpreet’s photos despite her deactivating her online profile. If she goes to the police, her secret will get out. Ouch.

    Theory: Wendy blackmailing Manpreet?

    In January, Wendy Posner left the village with her head hung low, following the huge betrayal of Ella Forster.

    She’d dobbed her whole history into the paper for a fee after first betraying Rhona by sharing her information with a journalist and suggesting that April might’ve gone missing due to her past history.

    The truth came out, and Wendy left the village after being ushered out by practically everyone. Manpreet and Liam both couldn’t keep Wendy on following the betrayal, asking her to leave.

    They’d initially turned a blind eye to the whole ‘fake nurse’ thing, but it became clear that Wendy couldn’t keep her job at the surgery.

    Now though, remembering how Wendy loved to spill everyone’s secrets, a new theory suggests that Wendy could be getting revenge for the loss of her job by blackmailing Manpreet, dragging her down with her.

    A fan on X suggested: “Manpreet’s blackmailer could be Wendy.”

    But, could we soon see the return of Wendy just months after her departure from the soap?

  • Gail’s exit storyline ‘sealed’ as she spills Mary’s Suzy secret? A new theory

    Gail’s exit storyline ‘sealed’ as she spills Mary’s Suzy secret? A new theory

    With reports of Gail Loman’s exit on the cards in Emmerdale, a new theory has ‘worked out’ how she will leave – and it’s linked to Mary.

    Last night (Tuesday March 11), Mary trusted gossipy Gail (a literal barmaid who strikes up conversation with anyone and everyone) with her big secret.

    But, could this secret actually play a huge part in Gail’s exit storyline? We think so!

    Mary told Gail about her kiss with Suzy

    On the day of the limo crash, viewers will know that Leyla actually caught Mary and Suzy kissing. The women had finally confessed their feelings for each other after a good year of dancing around them.

    Suzy was even ready to throw away her relationship with Vanessa to be with Mary. But, of course, the limo crash meant that they never did get their happy ever after.

    Since Suzy’s death in the limo, Mary has been trying to be a supportive friend to Vanessa (some may say out of guilt).

    But, last night, Mary felt as though she just had to tell someone about her kiss with Suzy. And with the only other person who knew, Leyla, now dead… Mary selected Gail to share her secret. Wow, what an honour!

    Gail was stunned as Mary admitted that they’d kissed on the day of Suzy’s death… But, before she could elaborate any further, Vanessa walked in asking Mary to sign a tribute for her late partner. Talk about awkward.

    Theory: Gail’s exit storyline linked to Mary secret?

    Reports suggest that Gail Loman is soon to be leaving the soap. It’s unclear how she will depart but last night’s scenes have now sparked a new theory from us.

    With Gail now knowing Mary’s secret, it can’t be long before it slips out of her mouth. We just know that Gail struggles to keep anything to herself.

    With Vanessa finding out the truth, Gail might feel as though she’s broken everyone’s trust and decide to leave the village.

    Or, perhaps, in a sinister twist, Mary might realise that her secret isn’t safe with Gail and attempt to keep her quiet. But in the process, Gail could accidentally get brutally injured…

    Considering that Gail doesn’t appear very often, we reckon that last night’s scenes were important in some way. But, could this all be paving the way for her exit?

    Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi hints at future acting role on rival ITV soap after Leyla axe

    Former Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi has teased her future career role plans on another soap following her exit as Leyla Harding.

    Leyla’s death in Emmerdale

    Last month, a huge limo crash rocked the Dales as it claimed the lives of Suzy, Amy and Leyla.

    Hoping that a great night out would cure her loneliness, Leyla put on a sparkly outfit and ‘got into that limo if it killed her.’ And, well, it did.

    A piece of glass sadly went straight through Leyla’s stomach, causing her to lose consciousness. Kerry dragged her across the ice but as soon as she got into an ambulance… she died.

    Jacob was devastated as he found his dead mum lying in the morgue whilst he was working on shift in A&E. Talk about traumatising.

    Despite dying a couple of weeks back, Leyla’s final scenes however actually aired last night (Thursday,  March 6).

    Leyla narrated her own funeral, with flashbacks then seeing her uncover several secrets of other villagers’ before she passed. What an iconic ending for an iconic character.

    Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi teases hopes for future role on rival soap

    With her final scenes in Emmerdale as Leyla Harding having now aired on screen, actress Roxy Shahidi has now spoken out about what’s next for her career.

    As well as continuing with her yoga business, Roxy has shared other exciting plans for the future.

    Speaking to Digital Spy, Roxy shared: “I’m really excited about doing more podcasts with Matthew Wolfenden and maybe doing some presenting. I also write, so I want to do more writing. I want to keep acting, too.

    She added: “I just would like to do lots of different things, now that I’ve got the freedom to try my hand at new projects and just see what happens. I just want to go on a bit of an adventure and allow things to be unpredictable.”

    She then teased which other shows she’d love to work on, with one being ITV rival soap, Corrie.

    “Coronation Street would be good. I also wouldn’t mind doing a continuing drama – I’d love to maybe do Waterloo Road.” Could we see Roxy rocking up on the cobbles in the coming years?

  • Emmerdale brings Leyla back one final time, confirming killing her off was a ‘mistake’

    Emmerdale brings Leyla back one final time, confirming killing her off was a ‘mistake’

    Emmerdale fans already weren’t happy over Leyla Harding’s death, but they’ve branded it as a huge ‘mistake’ once again after last night (Thursday, March 6).

    In a huge twist, Leyla’s funeral episode aired a special voiceover, with Leyla narrating her own send-off.

    With Leyla making sure that she was the star of the show in life and death, fans reckon these scenes have confirmed that her death was an extremely bad decision.

    Leyla’s funeral episode

    Last night in the Dales, the villagers (and viewers) were left teary-eyed as Leyla narrated her own funeral.

    She made sure she was remembered in style, with six men carrying her gold coffin. She even made ex-husband Liam read a eulogy to her, in a super awkward but memorable moment.

    Afterwards, at her wake, it turned out that Leyla had even left messages to her loved ones. Jacob’s reminded him to use moisturiser…

    In another huge moment, it was then revealed that Leyla had actually take not one, not two… but three secrets to the grave.

    Proving that she was the heart and soul of the village, intertwined in everyone’s lives until the very end, she caught Tracy pocketing money from the shop.

    She then walked in on Mary kissing Suzy, and also rumbled Manpreet’s saucy online side-hustle…

    Emmerdale fans brand Leyla death huge ‘mistake’ once more

    When Leyla sadly died in the limo crash last month, fans made their devastation known. They thought the soap’s decision to kill off the long-running character was a bad decision.

    And now, with Leyla having one last moment to shine in her (and, oh sorry, Amy’s) funeral episode, fans reckon these scenes have cemented the decision to kill off Leyla being a massive mistake. They think that Leyla being alive to spill all of the secrets would’ve been much more enjoyable.

    One fan commented: “This episode is confirming that killing off Leyla and Suzy was a massive mistake.”

    Another person shared: “It’s increasingly obvious that killing off Amy, Leyla and Suzy is one of the all-time worst decisions.”

    A third person added: “I do feel sorry for Leyla. Should have caused some chaos with the secrets being spilled. We’ve been robbed.”

  • Fans praise Emmerdale for ‘beautiful’ episode as Leyla and Amy are remembered by grieving loved ones

    Fans praise Emmerdale for ‘beautiful’ episode as Leyla and Amy are remembered by grieving loved ones

    Leyla Harding and Amy Barton were remembered as Emmerdale aired their funerals last night (Thursday, March 6).

    Throughout the episode, Leyla provided a voiceover from beyond the grave, narrating her own funeral. She always was the star of her own show, after all.

    Amy was also given a lovely tribute, with her floral funeral being held in the woods. Even Chip the Dog came to pay his respects. And fans have now praised the soap for an ’emotional’ yet ‘beautiful’ episode.

    Leyla and Amy’s funeral episode in Emmerdale

    Last night saw both Leyla and Amy be laid to rest following their deaths in the recent limo crash. Leyla made sure that she was given a send-off fitting for her personality, narrating her own funeral.

    Leyla being Leyla, she’d planned her own funeral, despite only being 40 when she died. She’d instructed for six hunks to carry her gold-painted coffin into the church, with her ex-husband Liam giving quite an awkward eulogy to the previous ‘love of his life’ in front on fiancée Chas.

    Meanwhile, in the woods, Amy was given a peaceful send-off herself as Matty teared up during his eulogy. However, tensions between Matty and Cain threatened to ruin the tribute.

    Near to the end of the episode, it was then revealed through a series of flashbacks that Leyla had actually taken several secrets of other villagers’ to the grave.

    She’d caught Tracy stealing money from the shop, before walking in on Suzy and Mary kissing. And just to add another secret to her belt, she’d also caught Manpreet posting something rather saucy online…

    Fans praise soap for ‘beautiful’ tribute to Leyla and Amy

    After the unique and rather different episode that aired last night, fans have taken to social media to praise the soap for the scenes.

    It’s safe to say that they’ve been left rather satisfied by the ‘beautiful’ tribute to the much-loved, late characters.

    One fan commented: “So many beautiful moments – Leyla’s funeral is her down to a tee whilst Amy’s was also beautiful – the flashbacks were interesting as well especially Tracy & Manpreet’s ones.”

    Another fan agreed: “What a beautiful send off for Amy and Leyla. Both women took plenty of secrets to the grave with them.”

    A third viewer added: “Emmerdale sure know how to do an emotional episode like the one tonight.”

    Another person shared: “Just caught up on this now, what a great episode, loved it. The way it was done with Leyla’s monologue throughout, and the secrets and lies….well done all.”

    A final viewer finished: “What a fantastic episode of Emmerdale today! A mix of sadness, reflection and revelations all with an honest and heartfelt monologue by Leyla. Not a dry eye, I’m sure! Well done to all involved.”

  • Is Manpreet being ‘targeted’ over secret romance with Billy? All the theories

    Is Manpreet being ‘targeted’ over secret romance with Billy? All the theories

    Someone mysterious is messaging Manpreet in Emmerdale and she’s acting really guarded over it – here are all the theories.

    She’s clearly keeping something a secret… but, it’s unclear who exactly is behind the messages.

    We’ve compiled a list of all the possible theories.

    1. Billy romance

    Last year, fans may remember the rather cringe moment where Manpreet was super smitten with Billy.

    This unrequited love led her to fancy the pants off of him during her PT sessions, soon making a pass at him when her relationship with Charles was in choppy waters.

    At the time, Billy remained loyal to Dawn and even told her about Manpreet’s pass at him. But, now, Billy and Dawn aren’t as close as they used to be…

    It’s possible that Manpreet and Billy are now having a secret affair and that Manpreet finally got her guy.

    One fan shared: “It’s big Billy, she’s been getting it on with him at Boxercise.”

    Is Billy messaging her? Or does someone know about their romance and is targeting her?

    2. Bob fling

    Another theory is that Bob is the mystery texter. Bob recently broke up with Wendy after finding out about her betrayal of Ella, before sharing a kiss with Brenda.

    But, now, could Manpreet have supported her friend so much that a romance has formed between the pair?

    It is possible… but would a romance with Bob be something to be so guarded about?

    Emmerdale Manpreet theories: 3. John killer threat

    Manpreet recently reported Cain for carrying out late night work at the garage, unaware that John and Aaron were actually inside, stripping down Anthony’s car.

    With Manpreet taking it upon herself to be on ‘neighbourhood watch patrol,’ the Anthony murder club could be worried.

    And, with John being a mysterious guy and deeply involved with covering up Anthony’s murder, could he be blackmailing Manpreet to keep quiet?

    4. Meena return

    One theory that always spring to mind whenever Manpreet does anything ever for fans is Meena Jutla.

    Fans are constantly hoping for a Meena return despite her being sentenced to 75 years in prison, with one theory suggesting that she could be contacting her sister on the phone.

    One fan suggested: “Could be Meena her sister who’s in prison.” We’d love it to be the case!

    5. Online dating profile

    It’s possible that Manpreet is trying to move on after Charles and has set herself up on an online dating website.

    She could be slightly embarrassed by the situation or perhaps has matched with someone she knows…

    One person on Reddit wondered: “I’m sure I saw a spoiler that suggests she’s set up an online dating profile. She’s a professional woman so that could be something she wouldn’t want people to know about.”

    6. Joe Tate’s schemes

    Joe Tate is very clearly keeping some major secrets and fans reckon he’s in desperate need of a transplant to save his life.

    Now one fan theory has linked Joe’s storyline with Manpreet’s mystery messages and reckon Joe’s after the help of the local doctor to give him what he needs.

    The theory suggests: “Oooh could it be something Joe is involved with… his mystery medical issue and/or the meds he’s been taking and/or the mystery medical bloke?” Could this be the case?

    Follow-up: As Kim finds out about Dawn and Joe’s affair, here’s what happens next

    In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Friday, February 28), Kim and Lydia found evidence of Dawn and Joe’s affair.

    Nobody tries to sneak around behind Kim’s back and gets away with it, that’s for sure.

    But, now that Kim’s confronted Joe over his affair, what exactly happens next?

    Kim rumbled Dawn and Joe’s affair in Emmerdale

    Did Dawn and Joe really think they could have an affair right under Kim’s nose and get away with it. The Queen of Home Farm knows everything.

    This week, while knowing Joe was acting very suss, Kim’s little bug in Joe’s room didn’t expose anything dodgy. So, Kim then changed tactics, having Joe believe that she completely trusted him.

    Recruiting Lydia to act as her spy, Kim was desperate to find out just what Joe was hiding. And, she did tonight.

    Lydia followed Joe through the woods and pulled out her phone to snap a photo of him meeting up with Dawn and kissing her.

    She then reported this all back to Kim, who then confronted Joe over her findings.

    But, Joe wasn’t that bothered about Kim finding out. Just like he wasn’t fussed about Charity finding out the other week either.

    He told Kim that her evidence just showed two people happy to see each other.

    Kim then told Joe to leave her family alone if he knew what was good for him. But, something tells us Mr. Joe Tate won’t go down without a fight…

    What happens next after Dawn and Joe affair exposed?

    Coming up in Emmerdale spoilers, Joe announces to Dawn that he’s leaving Home Farm.

    It’s then that Dawn realises that Joe’s been forced out by Kim and that Kim now knows about their affair. And, this doesn’t go down well with Dawn who panics to know that her secret is out there.

    What can Dawn do to make sure that the news doesn’t get back to her husband Billy? And, is Joe really going to leave or does he have other plans?

  • ‘Where’s Billy?’ Fans baffled by major character’s absence in affair storyline

    ‘Where’s Billy?’ Fans baffled by major character’s absence in affair storyline

    In Emmerdale, Dawn has been cheating on husband Billy with Joe Tate – but fans have been baffled by Billy’s absence. And, we have too.

    Whilst Dawn might’ve forgotten that her husband exists, fans haven’t been so quick to forget and have wondered just where he is amid Dawn and Joe’s affair storyline.

    Billy’s been mentioned a fair bit recently, but we haven’t actually seen him that much in the aftermath of Will Taylor’s death at Christmas. So, where is he?

    Joe and Dawn’s affair in Emmerdale

    Since Will Taylor’s death, Joe and Dawn got rather close to each other and started a secret affair behind Billy’s back.

    Poor Billy has put family first, being there for Dawn through little Evan’s cancer journey, as well as caring for Clemmie and Lucas. And, it seems like he’s doing most of the work…

    Billy must be so busy because we’ve barely seen him in the last two months, and Dawn has used this to her advantage by spending more time with Joe instead.

    So far, Joe and Dawn have managed to sneak around without raising much suspicion. They’ve been so good at it that Kim even enlisted Dawn herself to keep an eye on Joe and see whether he was up to anything dodgy. If only she knew…

    But, now fans have been left baffled over a really key character’s absence throughout this whole storyline. And, they have a really valid point.

    Fans wonder where Billy Fletcher is in Emmerdale

    Poor Billy has no clue about Joe and Dawn’s affair, and that’s because he never seems to be around these days.

    Fans have now taken to social media to question just where Dawn’s hubby is considering the whole point of the storyline is that Dawn is cheating on HIM.

    One fan took to X and commented: “Where’s Billy in Emmerdale?”

    Another person shared: “Dawn has zero pride, the desperate [bleep]. Where is Billy??”

    A third fan pointed out: “Billy visits home once every 3 weeks lately.”

    But, is Billy at work? Is he too busy looking after the kids to notice Dawn and Joe’s flirtation? Will we ever see him again?

    Ruby had been triggered by seeing her dad Anthony rock up in the Dales, keeping the fact that he’d sexually abused her as a child a secret from her family.

    Giving herself a distraction, she headed to the garage and ended up sleeping with Cain (and we won’t ever forgive them for it!)

    This week, after Caleb found out about Cain’s fling with Ruby, a fight broke out as Caleb crashed a limo.

    Cain then returned home all beaten up… and Moira obviously had some questions. He then sat her down and told her that he loved her before admitting to sleeping with Ruby.

    Moira didn’t even want to be near Cain after this, asking him not to touch her. She was heartbroken. And, so were we!

    Opinion: Coira mustn’t split up

    It’s not looking good for Cain and Moira (aka Coira) as Moira struggles to process Cain’s revelation. We completely understand Moira’s upset, we too were furious when we saw Cain and Ruby’s one-night stand on-screen.

    But, Cain and Moira have been through worse, haven’t they? We admit it took a good while for Cain to forgive Moira for having an affair with Nate all those years ago, but he did in the end.

    Moira’s cheated before. And, so has Cain. But, they always find a way back to each other. There’s not a stronger couple in the village than Cain and Moira. They’ve been through so much, it would be a real shame to throw everything away now.

    And now that poor Amy has passed away, Kyle will need a stronger and stable home environment more than ever now. He’ll need Cain and Moira together. He’ll need them to give him all their support as a couple without anymore upheaval.

    This cannot be the end of Cain and Moira… We won’t accept it! We won’t!
