  • Leyla to die in Jacob special A&E episode? The signs are worrying

    Leyla to die in Jacob special A&E episode? The signs are worrying

    Emmerdale is set to air a special Jacob A&E episode, but will this spell the end for his mum Leyla Harding?

    With Jacob ready to be pushed to his limits during an hour long episode in January, he’s set to be tested both ‘professionally and personally.’

    But, could this special episode spell the end for soap favourite Leyla? We hope not!

    Emmerdale fan theory: Leyla to die in Jacob special episode?

    New spoilers reveal that Jacob will have a whole hour-long episode dedicated to his first day on work placement in A&E. This will see him deal with life-threatening scenarios.

    Villagers are also set to be affected. But, fans have now theorised that this episode will mark the end for Leyla.

    One fan reacted to the special episode announcement on X and wrote: “Leyla’s death looms. I’m broken.”

    Another person wondered: “Will Leyla come in on a stretcher?”

    A third fan had really thought this scenario through and shared: “Leyla will arrive on a stretcher and there will be a flashback episode which shows us her getting murdered by the drug dealer.”

    Everything we know about Leyla’s ‘death’

    It has been reported that Roxy Shahidi will soon bow out of Emmerdale and will go out with a bang as her character Leyla is ‘killed off.’

    It’s unclear exactly how Leyla will die but this special episode seems like a rather worrying sign that Leyla could meet her end as the New Year arrives… what with Jacob reappearing out of nowhere and being given an hour-long episode solely dedicated to him. A coincidence? Hmmm…

    Emmerdale has also said that Jacob will be affected ‘personally’ during the episode. Producer Sophie Roper also teased: “Jacob will encounter some challenging situations that also affect some of our Emmerdale villagers.”

    But, will Leyla be one of them? Is this the episode where she sadly dies? We’re not ready…

  • Jacob Gallagher hour long A&E special to air as he’s tested on placement

    Jacob Gallagher hour long A&E special to air as he’s tested on placement

    Emmerdale is set on air an hour long special episode focused on Jacob Gallagher in which he is tested during his work placement.

    This special episode of the soap will air in January and will follow Jacob’s first day working in A&E.

    These upcoming scenes will show the stresses of working in a high-pressure environment, dealing with life-threatening emergencies. But, will Jacob take it all in his stride?

    Emmerdale to air special A&E episode for Jacob

    With Jacob currently studying medicine at university whilst also sticking around in the village, he’s about to start his work placement in A&E as the new year comes around.

    And, the soap is dedicating a whole hour episode to following him on his journey. This will see him start his first day at the hospital.

    This episode will see Jacob’s limits get tested. He’ll be involved in helping save the lives of patients in need.

    But, will this all be too much for Jacob to handle? Or, will he come out of this test stronger than before?

    Joe Warren-Plant shares thoughts on upcoming Jacob scenes

    Actor Joe Warren-Plant has now revealed his thoughts on the upcoming episode, sharing: “When I met with our producer Sophie, she told me about this hour-long episode dedicated to Jacob’s first day of placement in A&E. I was hit with all these emotions.

    “Knowing how many people have this high pressure job for real gave me the pressure to really knuckle down and get it right. Tackling this storyline scared me at first, but I feel honoured to know they trusted me enough to tell it. That means such a lot and I feel very honoured.”

    Soap producer Sophie Roper also said: “When Jacob first embarked on his aspirations of having a medical degree we knew at some point we wanted to show a day in his life. In this episode we step away from our usual environs of the village and head to the hospital.

    “This episode takes place entirely on our purpose built hospital set. Accident and Emergency is a place many of our characters end up in, but seldom by choice.  As the episode unfolds, Jacob will encounter some challenging situations that also affect some of our Emmerdale villagers, pushing Jacob to his limits both professionally and personally.”

    But, which villagers may end up in hospital? With Jacob’s mum Leyla’s death being reported, could we see her die whilst Jacob is on placement?

  • As Paula Lane ‘confirms’ soap exit, what was the point of Ella?

    As Paula Lane ‘confirms’ soap exit, what was the point of Ella?

    At the end of last week, reports circulated that Paula Lane would be leaving Emmerdale as Ella Forster at the beginning of 2025.

    This news looked to be ‘confirmed’ by the actress herself as her own Spotlight page stated that she would finish filming for the soap in February next year.

    And, as this Spotlight page is linked in Paula’s official Instagram bio – it all looks to be rather legit… But, we’re not impressed with the news.

    Paula Lane ‘confirms’ Emmerdale exit as Ella Forster

    Currently in the Dales, Ella is showing her creepy side with some seriously questionable behaviour. She started stalking Dr Liam after being suspicious that he was seeing Chas whilst still in a relationship with her.

    When Liam eventually confessed the truth, Ella was absolutely livid. And, with a killer past under her belt, perhaps Liam and Chas better be careful not to wind her up further.

    Now though, actress Paula Lane’s Spotlight page reveals that she’s only filming for Emmerdale until February 2025. So, if we go by this, Ella’s final scenes will air on screen in the spring… Interesting.

    Ella’s only been in the village for just under a year. And, it’s always felt like we’ve barely scratched the surface with her. But, with only months to go until Ella’s reported exit, we’re starting to wonder whether there’s any more depth to the character after all…

    Emmerdale missed a trick with Ella

    When it was announced that Paula Lane would be making an arrival into Emmerdale as Ella, there was a huge buzz. There was so much hype… wow, a Corrie favourite making the move over to a rival soap. It was all super exciting.

    Most soap viewers were looking forward to see the talented Paula Lane back on our screens as a series regular in another show, but unfortunately Paula’s talent hasn’t been made the most of.

    Perhaps part of us really hoped that Ella was linked to Emmerdale icon Meena Jutla no matter how wild this theory may’ve been. But, Ella’s secret revealed felt like a tiny bit of a let-down.

    Never the less, after it was revealed that Ella had killed her best friend as a child and had spent time in prison, we were excited to see where the storyline could go. Was she going to kill again? Were there more skeletons in her closet?

    But, ever since this killer reveal, all we’ve really seen has been Ella pining for Dr Liam (so like most of the women in the village then?) Yes, she’s creepy, and her obsession with Liam has us intrigued… but, with Ella’s exit coming rather soon, we’re wondering whether there’s much more to come. Was there even any point to the character?

    Ella had more to give

    Ella had potential to become a proper part of the village. She had good foundations yet they weren’t built upon. We would’ve loved to see the story go one of two ways in the form of a redemption storyline or for her to become Meena Jutla 2.0 (although the latter would be an extremely hard task, we must admit.)

    There was so much more ground to cover, and Ella had so much more to give. Perhaps she’ll surprise us with a few more twists before she bows out. Maybe then, she’ll give us something to remember…

  • Ella’s stalking intensifies and fans reckon she’s going to make them pay for lying to her

    Ella’s stalking intensifies and fans reckon she’s going to make them pay for lying to her

    Chas and Liam have pursued a relationship and are sneaking around behind Ella Forster’s back in Emmerdale.

    However, Ella’s certainly suspicious after catching the pair chatting together in the Woolpack last night (Wednesday, November 27).

    And, with Ella clearly being very obsessed with the Dales doctor, fans have become concerned that Ella may make a sinister move to get revenge on the couple following on from her split from Liam. Eek!

    Ella Forster’s obsession with Liam in Emmerdale

    Currently in the Dales, Liam and Chas are trying to keep their relationship a secret to cushion the blow for Ella a bit after her recent split from Liam.

    But, this hasn’t stopped the pair from confessing their love to each other, oh no it hasn’t.

    Ella smells a rat though, because she watches Liam’s every move and knows when something is off. Creepy.

    With Liam failing to take on a newly scheduled appointment at the surgery last night, Ella wondered where Liam was off to. Liam also told her that he’d be going on a home visit. Lies. All lies.

    Ella had no idea that Liam was actually with Chas (or maybe she had a very good idea but didn’t want to let on just yet!) Well, she worked out he was lying though after going to the extreme length of calling up Liam’s patient and realising he hadn’t just been to visit her after all.

    Things were super awkward when Ella spotted Liam and Chas talking in the pub. But, how long will it take her to rumble their relationship? Will she just accept that Liam’s moved on? We think not…

    Ella to get revenge on Liam and Chas?

    We all know that Ella is no saint. She has a rather dark past, and that’s on killing her childhood best friend out of jealousy.

    Now, we have a slight inkling that Ella might just be extremely jealous of Chas when she inevitably finds out about her dating Liam. She’s not one for sharing, that Ella.

    But, what happens when Ella gets jealous? Bad things happen. And, fans are now really worried that Ella may attempt to make Liam and Chas pay for their loved-up ways.

    One fan feared: “Something tells me Ella is going to go full psycho on Chas and Liam.”

    A second person added: “The psycho in Ella is coming out…”

    A third fan wondered: “Is Ella going to do another murder?” Chas and Liam, watch out!

  • Why are they still here?: 6 characters who should leave the village for pastures new

    Why are they still here?: 6 characters who should leave the village for pastures new

    In Emmerdale, there are a fair few characters that are sticking around in the village despite having hardly any ties.

    With Amelia Spencer soon to be leaving the soap, we’ve compiled a list of everyone who could do with starting afresh somewhere else.

    1. Jai

    Jai used to be at the centre of the village, running the sweet factory with Rishi. The Sharmas – Jai, Rishi, Nikhil and Priya used to be a key family in the soap but now they’ve all moved away or have died out.

    With Suni and Amit leaving the village earlier this year, Jai only really has Archie left now who he could easily take with him on his travels should he leave.

    Now that his marriage with Laurel has ended, what’s really keeping Jai around?

    2. Manpreet

    Don’t get us wrong, we do love Manpreet but she’s only really seen in the surgery these days. And, well, she’s not the villagers’ go-to GP either. Sadly, Dr Liam is always the one people call when in need of a check up.

    Manpreet doesn’t have any ties left to the village, but perhaps she’s sticking around so that one day… there just might… be a reason for her sister Meena to return. Wishful thinking?

    Emmerdale characters who should leave: 3. Jacob

    Jacob’s not really been seen much recently, focusing on his studies rather than being at the centre of the drama.

    However, with Leyla soon rumoured to be leaving the soap and with his dad David having already departed, it would make sense for Jacob to broaden his horizons and move somewhere else to pursue his dream medical career.

    4. Suzy

    Suzy looks like she could be single-handedly running Take A Vow now that reports of Leyla’s exit have circulated.

    But, other than her rarely seen relationship with Vanessa, is the village really the right place for Suzy? Could she expand her wedding business empire somewhere else? We’re just not really convinced she has much of a place in the village.

    Emmerdale's Ella serious in the pub

    Emmerdale characters who should leave: 5. Ella

    Ella came into the village almost a year ago after befriending Mandy, but that friendship hardly gets any screen time.

    Other than being utterly obsessed with Liam who has now dumped her for Chas, Ella’s not really wanted by the other villagers and we’re struggling to see the point of her at the moment ourselves.

    The character has potential, but if we were in Ella’s shoes, we’d have been long gone.

    6. Wendy

    Wendy’s got a grandson in the village, but what else has she got? If we’re honest, she’ll forever be associated with her very icky affair with Liam and we’re constantly reminded of this every time we seen her on our screens.

    Should Wendy just pack up her things and go? What’s stopping her?

  • Has Emmerdale finally redeemed Chas? Let’s take a look at the evidence

    Has Emmerdale finally redeemed Chas? Let’s take a look at the evidence

    In Emmerdale, Chas was viewed as ‘irredeemable’ following her affair with Al Chapman, but she’s tried to put the past behind her…

    Following a difficult battle with cancer, Chas has now found happiness in the arms of swoony Doctor Liam Cavanagh.

    But, has Chas finally been redeemed? Or, is she still a long way off?

    Emmerdale's Chas and Al talking

    Chas’ reputation ruined by Al affair

    In 2022, an affair started up in the Dales that will unfortunately forever be embedded into our minds.

    Chas cheated on poor, lovely Paddy for businessman Al Chapman (and she was about the only person in the village who actually liked him other than Kerry…)

    Despite having an affair with Chas, Al still went ahead and got engaged to Kerry although it would’ve been very awkward to reject such a fabulous (and very public) proposal. It involved Kerry presenting Al with a rap.

    We weren’t a huge fan of Al to begin with but Chas was somewhat likeable until she betrayed Paddy like she did. And, let’s not get us started on Faith.

    When Chas’ mum Faith was dying of cancer, Chas missed her final moments because she was in bed with her secret lover. How gross.

    Everything came to an abrupt end though when Al was dramatically killed by little Kyle during a gun showdown. What goes around, comes around.

    Chas’ cancer journey

    After her affair with Al, Chas lost a lot of respect from fellow villagers and soap viewers alike. It looked as though her selfish ways were never going to be redeemed.

    However, some sympathy for the character was given as she was diagnosed with cancer at the start of this year.

    After a moment of passion with Dr Liam, he found a bump in Chas’ breast. She then found out that she had triple-negative breast cancer.

    After a double mastectomy, Chas’ strength and resilience was to be admired. But, was this enough to redeem her?

    Emmerdale's Chas and Liam talking

    Chas and Liam’s romance on Emmerdale

    On screen at the moment, Chas is pretty loved up with Liam after they both confessed their love for each other this week.

    She seems to be happy, and the rest of the village has come a long way since the Chas and Al affair.

    However, even though Chas and Liam seem like a good pairing, let’s not forget that they are both sneaking about to hide the truth from heartbroken Ella. Just another relationship Chas has been in that’s going to end up hurting someone then. Nothing new there.

  • Mike Parr shares dream casting hopes for Barton family – and we’d love to see it happen

    Mike Parr shares dream casting hopes for Barton family – and we’d love to see it happen

    Ross Barton and Emmerdale actor Mike Parr has shared some big wishes over who he’d loved to play Nana Barton.

    Nana Barton is a character that’s been mentioned a fair bit over the years but has never been seen on screen.

    But, if Mike could get his way, he’s revealed who he’d love to play the character.

    Ross Barton’s return

    Ross recently returned to the Dales and soon got himself into quite some bother. This was shown when he started bare knuckle fighting against Billy.

    It seemed that Ross was in a rather dark place. He revealed that poor Rebecca had died a few months back (we’re still sobbing!)

    Since deciding to stay put in the village, Ross made a pass at Charity but was soon rejected. So, he then moved on to the next woman, soon sleeping with Steph in the barn (how glamorous!)

    With Ross sticking around, actor Mike Parr has now shared his hopes for a Barton family expansion. After all, the family did used to be rather prominent in the Dales back in the day.

    Emmerdale: Mike Parr reveals Nana Barton casting hopes

    Dreaming to meet the much talked about, never seen Nana Barton one day, Mike shared that he’d love to see Sue Johnston take on the role.

    Speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media, Mike said: “There was this mythological character called Nana Barton and I would love it if Sue Johnston… It would be my dream to work with her after watching her for so many years on Brookside and the Royle Family and stuff.

    “I think she’s probably off busy getting offers left, right and centre, but if I could cast anybody to play a character that hasn’t been in the show yet… evil Nana Barton. Or maybe not. Maybe she’s lovely.” Could this happen one day?

    As Ross embarks on new fling with Steph Miligan, Mike Parr confirms which Emmerdale woman was Ross’ ‘one true love’

    Recent episodes of Emmerdale have seen Ross flirt with both Charity and Steph, but Mike Parr has revealed all on Ross’ love life.

    With Ross single and mourning the tragic death of his ex Rebecca, Mike has opened up about which former Dales woman was Ross’ ‘one true love.’

    Emmerdale: Ross’ love life

    Ross has been unlucky in love over the years, returning to the Dales with quite the tragic bombshell. He revealed to Charity that his ex partner Rebecca had died and Seb was now living with an aunt.

    With Ross now back in the village, he’s distracting himself from the grief it seems… turning his head to Charity. Seeing sense, Charity rejected Ross’ advances though. Fair play.

    But, now, he’s left Charity alone and in now flirting with newcomer Steph Miligan instead. The pair even ended up sleeping together in the barn. This happened despite Steph admitting that Ross isn’t the sort of guy she’d go for. We’re not sure we believe her…

    Mike Parr on Ross Barton’s ‘one true love’

    Spoilers for next week reveal that Ross is startled when Jade kidnaps April and takes her to a car park. It sends all sorts of bad memories rushing back for Ross as he remembers Donna’s death.

    And, Mike Parr has now confirmed that despite all these new romances and flings, it was Donna that ultimately won Ross’ heart.

    Speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media, Mike shared: “That was his first experience with love.

    “When love is snatched away from you, you’re always going to glamorize it and think about what it could have been. But I think was probably the one he loved the most.”

    “Nobody lives up to Donna in his eyes.”

    Speaking about how Ross is haunted by Donna’s memory in the coming weeks as he’s taken back to the place of Donna’s death, Mike teased: “It’s hugely traumatic for him. It brings back the worst memories, you know, seeing somebody die, especially the first girl who has ever loved you and your first experience of love to fall off a roof chained to a paedophile. That’s a traumatic event for him.”

    Will Ross ever find a love like he had with Donna again?

  • ‘What have you done?’ Here’s why Cain sleeping with Ruby is the worst decision the soap could’ve made

    ‘What have you done?’ Here’s why Cain sleeping with Ruby is the worst decision the soap could’ve made

    In Emmerdale, Cain Dingle and Ruby slept together tonight (Wednesday, November 20) in a twist that left us feeling sick to our stomachs as Moira had brain surgery.

    Unable to cope as Moira Dingle headed for the operating table, Cain let his rage build up. He then let all of the energy out in… a way we’re sure he’ll live to regret.

    Emmerdale's Cain is serious

    Cain cheated on ill Moira with Ruby in Emmerdale tonight

    A special episode of Emmerdale aired this evening that saw both of Cain and Moira’s perspectives as Moira had her brain surgery to remove her tumour.

    During Moira’s half of the episode, we saw her dream about seeing her late daughter Holly Barton.

    Cain’s half of the ep though wasn’t quite as peaceful – eek! He struggled to deal with the possibility that he could lose Moira.

    To distract himself, he then did the worst possible thing he could’ve ever done… He slept with Ruby Fox-Miligan. Here’s why we think that Emmerdale has made the worst possible decision ever in this single episode as we ask – “Emmerdale, what have you done?”

    Ruby looks shocked on Emmerdale (Credit: ITV/EI)
    No, just no (Credit: ITV)

    Emmerdale: Cain and Ruby – A big no no

    In Moira’s biggest hour of need, Cain strayed away from home, literally whilst his wife faced a life or death situation.

    How low could Cain possibly go? Well, tonight we found out and we’re not sure we’ll ever forgive Cain for this one.

    Coira were one of the only couples still going strong in the Dales until now. We all know how much Cain condemned Moira for cheating on him with Nate in the past (it literally destroyed their marriage for a bit) and now… he’s just as bad.

    And, not only has Cain cheated but he’s cheated with his half-brother’s wife. So, not only has he just potentially ruined his relationship with Moira, but he’s done the same with Caleb too.

    Let’s not even go into how hypocritical Cain was to tear strips into Caleb for cheating with Tracy last year…

    Cain and Ruby was all kings of wrong and we do not approve (Credit: ITV)
    Never remind us of these scenes again (Credit: ITV)

    Cain and Ruby – ‘The worst decision ever made’

    Our jaws were on the floor when we first saw Cain and Ruby getting it on with each other. It was a twist we certainly weren’t expecting.

    Whilst the episode was brilliantly done, the whole idea of Cain and Ruby makes us want to gag. It’s just wrong on a hundred different levels. It doesn’t work on paper and it doesn’t work in the ‘reality’ of Soapland either. No, just no.

    We can’t even begin to imagine how Moira will feel when the truth come out (and we know the truth ALWAYS comes out in the end in soap.) We expect fireworks and argument after argument. And, we wouldn’t blame Moira for a second.

    Cain and Ruby together is something we shouldn’t even be discussing… yet here we are. And, honestly, we reckon it’s the worst decision the soap has ever made. A retcon is needed. Please tell us it was all a dream. Please?!

    As Aaron disappears from screens, Emmerdale fans have beef with his current storylines and they want changes.

    When it comes to Aaron, he’s either getting into a scrap, sobbing his eyes out, or being thrown into a new relationship as part of his central storylines.

    But, following Aaron’s latest injuries, fans have had enough of the same old story. They’re hoping for a change in Aaron’s storylines, switching up the record for viewers.

    Aaron Dingle storylines – from romances to fights

    Recently on Emmerdale, Aaron found himself caught up in Ross and Billy’s boxing match trouble. He’d attended the fight to help in case anything went wrong but this kind act backfired on him massively. Ouch.

    With John telling everyone the police were on their way, Aaron ended up getting punched to the ground by Deano. John came to his rescue, with Aaron then heading to hospital for a short stay (would it be a soap if it was any longer?!)

    Aside from getting beaten up, Aaron’s also been creating sparks with his ex-husband’s brother – John Sugden. Eek.

    It hasn’t been the smoothest of starts for the pair but they’ve clearly got more chemistry to explore…

    Fans beg for change as repetitive Aaron storylines air

    Poor Aaron never has it easy. He’s always getting himself into dangerous situations or putting his heart on the line with a new love interest.

    Now, fans have noticed that other than dragging Aaron out for a fight or throwing him into a relationship, Aaron isn’t included in many other storylines.

    Despite fighting for his life last week, current scenes have an Aaron shaped hole in them. And, when he is, it’s just in scenes he shares with John.

    Fans are hoping that change is on its way, and Aaron will finally be involved in other storylines that don’t just involve him ending up with a huge cut on his face and that don’t define him just by the relationship he’s in.

    One fan complained: “I think they don’t know what to do with Aaron and the easiest thing is to put him in a ‘relationship’, use Robert like plot device, because they know that most of us want him to come back, and there are also clicks, written articles, etc.”

    A second viewer agreed: “So no Aaron tonight, not surprising. Yesterday had a feeling that they have wrapped it up nicely with a bow having pushed Aaron/John along into living together & that’s all we’re getting for the moment. I look forward to an actual story line for him hopefully soon.”

    A third person shared: “I had the same feeling unless the boxing SL with ‘John the Grass’ continues soon.”
