Tom King isn’t exactly a popular man in Emmerdale right now. Last night’s episode of the soap (Thursday, October 31) saw Tom face increasing pressure as the police investigated claims that he’d terrorised a child and disposed of vital evidence.
This came as Nicola took Carl down the station to tell investigating officers all about Tom and the missing tablet.
The police released Tom without charge, but he was more unpopular than ever – with Nicola growing increasingly convinced of his guilt.

Emmerdale: Tom under fire as Nicola issues a warning
Back at home, Nicola warned Tom that he had better behave – or else. With Angelica being released from the detention centre, she wanted a calm and safe environment. And if Tom did anything to violate that, he’d be out on his ear.
Trouble didn’t take long to come calling. And, as the episode ended, Tom discovered that someone had smashed the windshield of his car with a brick.
Fuming, Nicola took this as all the proof she needed that Tom was a bad influence on their household.
But whodunnit?

Who bricked Tom’s car?
As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their theories as to who smashed up Tom’s car. Jimmy immediately suspected the Dingles, but Tom has no shortage of enemies in the village… if he didn’t do it himself, that is.
“I reckon it was Dawn or Rhona who threw the brick at Tom’s car…he did threaten to sue the vets,” suggested one fan.
“I reckon it was Nicola that smashed Tom’s car window!” another guessed.
“It was probably Carl that threw the brick at Tom’s car,” said a third.
Meanwhile, another theory suggested that Tom smashed up his own car in order to garner sympathy from Jimmy and Nicola.
“I think Tom put a brick through his own car window as he’s losing control,” one fan said.

Emmerdale tonight: Nicola won’t let it go
As the story continues tonight (Friday, November 1), Nicola finds herself unable to let her suspicions slide. She may have promised Jimmy that she’d leave Tom be, but she’s still on a hunt for answers.
As her dogged pursuit goes on, she clashes with Jimmy over what to do. Can she make Jimmy see sense?

Fans of Emmerdale aren’t convinced that Ross Barton is telling the truth about Seb’s whereabouts. During last night’s episode of the soap (airing Thursday October 31), Ross revealed that little Seb is now in Bristol following his mother’s death.
However, Ross’s story didn’t add up for many, with some Emmerdale fans questioning whether Ross is telling the truth about Rebecca’s death and Seb’s absence.

Emmerdale fans predict Ross is lying about Seb
As the episode aired, fans took to social media to rip Ross‘s story to bits. And some thought that he wasn’t being entirely truthful with Victoria about Seb’s whereabouts.
“We don’t know the name of this aunt in Bristol yet. What if papers signed were to hand Seb off to Aunt Vic – but Ross has pulled a scam to presented someone else as ‘Aunt Vic’, and Seb has has been abducted by Jade or whatever gangster name she goes by and her squad?” asked one suspicious fan.
“So Rebecca is dead and Seb was sent to some random relative in Bristol with Robert’s blessing? No way,” said another.
“It’s a lie about Rebecca ain’t it? Seb with Ross and childminder somewhere?? She’ll come looking for him and baby?” a third suggested.

What happened to Rebecca?
Earlier this week, Ross shocked Charity by revealing that Rebecca had died, having taken a turn for the worse during surgery.
“Rebecca’s dead. Me and Rebecca, we’d been split up a while. Pretty amicable in the end as it goes, I was still getting to see Seb,” he said. “Then one day she called me, saying she had to go into hospital for a routine operation. Nothing serious but could I look after Seb. No problem.”
He also added: “”We were both having a pizza when we got the call. Turns out I was still listed as her next of kin. They said it was a one in a thousand chance, her heart just stopped and that was it.”
If Rebecca is really dead, where does that leave Seb – is he with the aunt? Or is there more to it?

Nicola has more questions (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale spoilers tonight
1. Nicola’s on to Tom
Nicola is not buying one second of Tom’s act and despite agreeing with Jimmy to leave it after the police freed him, Nicola is doing no such thing. In fact, she’s still on a quest for answers and will stop at nothing to get them.
But as her pursuit of the truth puts more and more pressure on her marriage to Jimmy, how will this end? Is Tom going to win again? Or will Jimmy finally see sense?
Liam’s love life is getting messy! (Credit: ITV)
2. Liam’s under pressure
After admitting his feelings for Chas at the pub’s Halloween bash and her saying she feels the same way, Liam is preparing to end his romance with Ella. He and Chas are hoping to finally reunite.
However, things are complicated by Ella also getting fired from the vets! She thinks Liam has given her her job back at the surgery and they are totally loved up. So it’s fair to say Liam feels the pressure mounting up in tonight’s Emmerdale.
Will he manage to go through with the break-up?
3. Mack’s clash in Emmerdale spoilers
Mack’s had a very busy week. From Ross returning and instantly making an enemy of him, to trying to support Billy at his unlicensed boxing matches, Mack’s had a lot on his plate.
In tonight’s spoilers, Mack finds himself butting heads with Ross once again. As things come to a head at the farm while working together (why did Charity ever think that would be a good idea?!), will Mack and Ross ever settle their differences?

Emmerdale tonight saw the police close in on Tom – even though he was then released. Nicola is on to him and is going to prove it, and DS Foy also has his number. Soon enough there’s going to be nowhere to hide for Tom King – and we can’t wait.
Meanwhile, Liam chose Chas, but failed to dump Ella, and Charity and Cain reached out to Ross, against their better judgement.
Here’s everything that went down in Emmerdale on Thursday October 31.
Tom under pressure in Emmerdale tonight
Tom looked stressed in the interview room (Credit: ITV)
Foy has Tom’s card marked
Tom had spent the night in the cells awaiting questioning. Meanwhile police were swarming the village on the hunt for the tablet. Jimmy was furious with Nicola, while Nicola was desperately trying to get through to Jimmy, but he was still firmly Team Tom.
In questioning, Tom tried to talk his way out of things and insisted he felt terrible about shouting at Carl. DS Foy did not buy his act at all. We love this man.
A bank statement and invoice were produced proving Tom bought several spy cameras. Tom admitted buying them and installing them, but said it was to protect them after being burgled twice. But every answer Tom gave, DS Foy had a comeback. This cop has got Tom’s number and he’s not going to stop until he brings him to justice. He is fast becoming our hero.
And then Foy played his ace: the tablet has been found! (At this point you’d have found us dancing around our sofas with joy). And it has been traced to Tom. Although it’s broken, Foy is sure their tech team can recover the data.
Jimmy was pleased about Angelica coming home even if he looked worried! (Credit: ITV)
Nicola and Jimmy got good news
Back at home, Nicola and Jimmy were still at loggerheads. But a call about Angelica interrupted them. She is coming home tomorrow. The couple eventually agreed to stop bickering and that they would go along with the outcome the police decided over Tom.
Sadly for everyone, that seemed to be that Tom walked free. He was soon dropped back in the village having not been charged. Sigh.
Jimmy was over the moon, Nicola not so much, and she made it very clear she did not trust Tom as far as she could throw him.
And when Tom’s car was smashed up, Nicola insisted Tom had to go. But Jimmy took Tom’s side again and Nicola vowed to prove Tom was no good.
So with both Nicola and Foy on the case, surely it’s only a matter of time before Tom is caught and punished.
Chas, Ella and Liam had a tense encounter (Credit: ITV)
Liam chose Chas in Emmerdale tonight
Liam was doing his vampire make-up for Halloween, when Chas arrived to get Eve’s bunny. Things were awkward but he was forced into accepting her invite to the Halloween bash at the pub.
Liam later visited Chas to return the bunny and confessed he has been avoiding her. FINALLY, Liam and Chas admitted their feelings for each other. They agreed it would pass, but couldn’t resist and were soon kissing. Ella interrupted their kiss and Liam hid. But once she’d gone, Chas told Liam he had to make a choice.
Liam said it was obvious: it was Chas every time. But as he tried to break the news to Ella, she revealed Paddy had fired her. And then he ended up giving her her job back at the surgery. Liam also chickened out of breaking up with her.
When they turned up at the party at the Woolpack later, Chas was as stony faced as Morticia Adams (who she was dressed as) when she realised Liam had not ended things.
Is this yet another non-starter for the pair? Too much false hope is getting us bored.
News of Seb stunned Victoria (Credit: ITV)
Ross revealed more
Aaron found out Rebecca had died three months ago. He was upset and broke the news to Victoria. She insisted they needed to find Seb – she has remembered she is his aunt and wants to bring him up herself. Another crusade for Vic then, eh?
They found Ross in the pub who told them Robert had agreed to it all and signed the papers for Seb to move to Bristol. Ross claimed to have visited Robert, which is a bit odd because yesterday he denied any knowledge of Robert being involved. Is there more to Rebecca’s death story than meets the eye?
Charity then tried to talk Ross out of fighting again. She told him to pull himself together for the sake of his son. Then she went into bat for him with Cain asking for a job for Ross – and a place to stay. Mack wasn’t happy about it, but Cain agreed, insisting there had better not be any trouble. Cue a text from Jade telling Ross to stop ignoring her and call. Sounds like trouble to us…
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Things are getting on top of Belle (Credit: ITV)
Belle lost hope
Belle is doing better, but is still terrified about going to prison. She is convinced everyone will believe Tom and there’s no talking her out of it. She was completely defeated.
Sam and Charity decided not to tell Belle about the developments in the village. But Sam couldn’t keep his mouth shut and gave Belle the hope she needed. Which proved to be a huge mistake when he later saw Tom free in the village.
Cain can’t cope
Moira’s been gone five minutes and Cain’s run ragged, running the farm and the garage and baking cakes for Isaac. They were as hard as rocks, but at least he could pull off the pinny!

Emmerdale village has seen a fair few children grow up in it throughout the years but some have been totally forgotten about, adding themselves to the missing kids list.
Some child characters were at the centre of some huge storylines once before disappearing without being mentioned again. Here’s our list of Emmerdale kids who went off the face of the Earth.
Jack is living with Debbie in Scotland (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale missing kids: 1. Jack Sugden Jr
Jack Sugden Jr was born in 2012, being the son of Andy Sugden and Debbie Dingle.
As a baby, Jack was seen as a ‘saviour sibling’ as his cells were needed so that ill Sarah could have a transplant to save her life.
Having grown up a bit in 2017, Jack was soon victim of a kidnapping as two henchman threatened Debbie when she stole £50k from her boss to pay for Sarah’s cancer treatment.
Charity and Ross managed to rescue Jack and Sarah fortunately…
In 2019, Jack and Debbie moved to Scotland as Debbie inherited a garage there from Lisa. Sarah wanted to stay in the village with her Granny Charity though and remained put.
Despite several Dingles often heading over to Scotland to visit Debbie over the years, Jack has hardly been mentioned… not even by his sister, Sarah! Just shows how much she misses him really, doesn’t it?!
Millie was Kim’s whole world once (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
2. Millie Tate
Millie Tate arrived in the Dales in 2019 as the granddaughter of Kim Tate and then daughter of both Andrea and Jamie Tate.
Kim absolutely spoilt young Millie, with her whole world revolving around her.
At one point, it was uncertain whether Jamie was actually Millie’s biological father and it was uncovered that Andrea had actually slept with Graham Foster near the time of Millie’s conception.
Graham decided to do a secret DNA test and found out that Millie was in fact Jamie’s after all.
Sadly, Millie’s mum Andrea met a grisly end during Meena Jutla’s reign of terror. This led to Millie moving away with her grandma Hazel (and Jamie – although Kim believed him to be dead!)
In 2022, Millie and Hazel turned up for Thomas’ christening and Gabby overheard Millie tell her half-brother that his ‘daddy loves him.’ Hazel quickly took Millie home though before she could spill that Jamie was alive.
And, that was that. Kim had once fought so hard to remain a part of Millie’s life after she moved away with Hazel. But, after 2022, Kim hasn’t mentioned her. A bit bizarre really!
Oscar is Gail and Ryan’s son (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale missing kids: 3. Oscar Grisham
Last year, it was revealed that Gail and Ryan had a secret son called Oscar.
Gail found out that Oscar needed a bone marrow transplant as he was very ill. As his biological mum, she needed to get tested to see if she was a match.
Ryan eventually found out despite Gail keeping this a secret from him at first. Oscar had the surgery and wanted to get to know his birth parents.
His adoptive mum Sophie wasn’t so keen though and lied to Oscar, Gail and Ryan, suggesting that neither of them wanted contact.
Oscar found out the truth though and wanted to get to know Gail and Ryan properly. He even started to bond with Charity… But, the storyline abruptly died and Gail and Ryan seem more focused on the ghost of Noreen Bell these days to care about their son.
Chloe left the village with Reuben (Credit: ITV)
4. Reuben Harris
Throughout most of 2023, Reuben Harris was thrown into the centre of a huge storyline despite only being a baby.
With Chloe having a one night stand with Mack, Charity was devastated when Reuben was born and she realised that Mack was the baby’s father.
Mack had then split up with Charity and had decided to pursue a proper relationship with Chloe.
This love triangle ended in disaster though after Mack, Chloe and Charity got involved in a huge cliff-top car accident.
Mack chose to save Charity, with Chloe catapulting over the cliff. All three survived, but when Mack eventually got back with Charity things turned even more nasty.
Chloe got her criminal father involved and almost had Mack killed. Charity ended up shooting and killing Harry and saved Mack’s life.
With all of this drama causing her head to spin, Chloe eventually left the village with Reuben despite Mack being desperate to remain in his son’s life. He chose to stay with Charity and let his son go after everything he’d risked in order to be a part of his son’s life in the first place.
Now, ever since Chloe and Reuben left the Dales, Mack’s been carrying on with his life without giving his son a second thought. Lovely.
Seb is now said to be living with Rebecca’s aunt (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Emmerdale missing kids: 5. Seb White
Seb White recently got a mention this week in Emmerdale as Ross Barton returned to the soap.
Born in 2017, Seb appeared on the soap for two years as the son of Rebecca White and Robert Sugden.
With Rebecca having a one-night stand with Robert, Aaron and Robert broke up as a result of the strain this put on their relationship.
Seb was born in 2017, with Robert desperate to keep his son in the country when he found out that Bex and her family were planning on taking him to Australia without telling him.
Robert snatched Seb (just as well considering what happened next) and a car chase erupted. Lachlan then deliberately crashed the White family’s car and killed Chrissie and Lawrence. Robert then looked after Seb whilst Bex was in hospital.
In 2019, Rebecca decided to leave the village with Seb and her partner Ross, moving to Liverpool.
However, poor Seb’s mum Bex died recently as a result of some surgery. Ross then told Charity that Seb was living with an aunt of Rebecca’s.
Ross has now just easily allowed for Seb to live with someone else, with Seb not being mentioned much ever since his exit in 2019. Considering Aaron’s connection to Robert, and Victoria’s, you’d think they would’ve at least visited the small chap from time to time…
Theo moved away from the village with David (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
6. Theo Metcalfe
Ah, the child of David Metcalfe and Maya Stepney – Theo Metcalfe.
Maya had just come out of prison for grooming Jacob Gallagher when she left a baby on David and Jacob’s doorstep in 2019. There was a slight panic that Theo (initially named Alex) could’ve been Jacob’s, but a DNA test confirmed that he was David’s son.
During his time in the Dales, Theo found himself caught up in Meena Jutla’s cruel tricks as Meena stole Theo to get back at her boyfriend, David. She then played the hero and brought him back home, suggesting that she’d been the one to find him.
In 2023, David decided to leave the village with his son Theo, heading to London to live with Priya and Amba. Despite Jacob remaining in the village, he hasn’t mentioned his ‘brother’ since. And, Eric hasn’t mentioned his grandson either… How odd!

Ross Barton’s return to Emmerdale has been nothing short of dramatic, and as the fan favourite instantly ruffled feathers among the village residents, he also revealed Rebecca White’s fate. He’s rubbed Mackenzie up the wrong way and been involved in illegal fights with Billy, proving he’s back to cause trouble.
Ross has also wasted no time in dropping some bombshells. He’s revealed that his ex-girlfriend Rebecca is actually dead, after Charity quizzed him on her whereabouts. Ross claimed Rebecca passed away during an operation but didn’t provide a lot of details about her death.
Emmerdale fans are understandably sceptical about his claims. Some are wondering if Rebecca is really dead while others are convinced Ross was involved. Here’s some theories about Rebecca’s sudden death…
3 theories about Rebecca in Emmerdale
Ross and Rebecca left together (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
1. Rebecca isn’t really dead
It seems many Emmerdale fans aren’t convinced by Ross’ claims about Rebecca dying. Some have insisted she isn’t actually dead and Ross is simply lying in a bid to get sympathy.
“Nah not buying this Rebecca story. He’s playing the sympathy card!” one Emmerdale fan wrote on social media. Another said: “Rebecca DID NOT die I loved her so much.”
Elsewhere, someone else said: “Something about Ross’s story doesn’t add up, a routine op kills her when she had a TBI to contend with? Why wouldn’t the writers use that if she was really dead… he lyingggg.”

2. Ross killed her
Could Ross have been involved in Rebecca passing away? Some Emmerdale fans seem to think so.
“We know Rebecca is dead which was plainly obvious a long time ago but I definitely think Ross killed her!” one fan predicted on social media.
“Wonder if Ross is lying about Rebecca?” another questioned, while a third added:Â “Ross killed Rebecca!”
Does Ross have some skeletons in his closet?!

3. Was Billy involved?
As Billy has been heavily involved in Ross’ return storyline, it could be possible that he was involved in Rebecca’s death even if it does seem unlikely.
A fan said: “I wonder if Billy killed Rebecca or someone Billy knows killed Rebecca or Billy killed Rebecca by accident.”
Others suggested that Jade, the organiser of the unlicensed fights who has been threatening Billy, could be Rebecca in disguise.
One social media user said: “Time for another one of my wild theories… no way Rebecca is dead in Emmerdale. Ross is lying – and I think that fight woman could be Rebecca (recast) and in disguise…”

Emmerdale fans have made no secret of their hopes for Robert Sugden to finally return to the soap, following his exit in 2019. Robert was a fan favourite on the soap, but exited after killing Victoria’s rapist Lee Posner.
However, some fans believe a Robert return is now looking likelier than ever. Ross has revealed that Rebecca, who shares son Seb with Robert, has died, with Seb heading to stay with distant relatives.
Could we see Robert return to seek custody of his son following the news of Rebecca’s death?

Emmerdale: Ross reveals Rebecca’s dead
Ross informed Charity that Rebecca died, although he did not specify when. He revealed he and Rebecca had split up at the time of her death, which occurred during routine surgery.
“Rebecca’s dead. Me and Rebecca, we’d been split up a while. Pretty amicable in the end as it goes, I was still getting to see Seb,” he told Charity. “Then one day she called me, saying she had to go into hospital for a routine operation. Nothing serious but could I look after Seb. No problem.”
He also added: “We were both having a pizza when we got the call. Turns out I was still listed as her next of kin. They said it was a one in a thousand chance, her heart just stopped and that was it.”
Ross then said Seb had been taken to Bristol to live with Rebecca‘s aunt rather than stay with him.

Where is Robert?
Robert Sugden is currently serving a 14-year prison sentence for murdering Lee Posner, who raped his half-sister Victoria. Robert went on the run following the murder but police eventually caught up with him.
Lee’s death was accidental and occurred during a confrontation between him and Robert. However, Lee was also hit by his brother Luke, leaving fans uncertain whether Robert is solely to blame for him dying.

Fans predict Robert is returning
Emmerdale fans are convinced that Rebecca’s death will spark the return of Robert, despite him currently being in prison. With plenty of drama going on amongst the Sugdens at the moment, it seems like a perfect time for Robert to be released.
Taking to social media, one person said: “It does have a feeling they are setting things up for a Robert return, they’ve brought his brother in, who they’ve paired with his (ex) husband and the love of his life, so a tug a war/love triangle there, now his son has lost his mother, a tug of war there too?”
Another added: “So Rebecca is dead and Seb was sent to some random relative in Bristol with Robert’s blessing? No way,” while somebody else said: “Surely, social services would’ve reached out to Robert’s side of the family before dumping Seb into the system..?”
Other shared their hopes for Robert to be returning sooner rather than later. One fan said:Â “Definitely think Robert will be the Christmas return,” and another wrote: “Robert is coming back, isn’t he?”

The White family in Emmerdale appeared on screen between 2014 and 2018 and they certainly made their mark in the village during those years!
With Lawrence White at its head, the family took over Home Farm. Daughter Chrissie was engaged to Robert Sugden and her son from a previous relationship, Lachlan, came too. Younger sister, Rebecca landed in 2016.
Tragedy seemed to follow them around, so it hardly seems surprising that the death of Rebecca White has just been announced on screen. Her dad and sister are already gone and her nephew is in prison for multiple murders. Let’s just hope young Seb can escape the family curse!
Here’s what happened to the Whites – and where the actors are now.
Emmerdale: What happened to the White Family?
Things had been difficult for Lawrence in the past (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Lawrence White in Emmerdale played by John Bowe
Head of the family Lawrence White was born in Emmerdale (then known as Beckindale) in 1943. Lawrence was gay and had an affair with Edna Birch’s husband. She reported them to the police and Lawrence was put in prison where he was subjected to brutal aversion therapy that changed him forever.
He later met and married a woman named Ellen and they had two children, Chrissie and Rebecca. He built up a fortune with a farm machinery business. Lawrence first returned to the village when he was tracked down by Paddy and Sandy wanting to help Edna move on.
Lawrence then bought Home Farm and moved in with his family. He struck up a friendship with Bernice Blackstock and eventually they got engaged.
Although they married, it was a sexless union and Lawrence gave his blessing for her to have affairs to satisfy that side of things. Chrissie was disgusted when she found out and even more so when it led to the revelation Lawrence was not her biological dad. Chrissie tracked down a man named Ronnie Hale who she believed to be her father, but was in fact, Lawrence’s old lover.
By January 2018 Lawrence had had enough of life in the village and decided to emigrate to Australia. However, he never made it that far.
Events in Chrissie’s life affected her deeply (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
The wedding went ahead and Chrissie and Robert settled into married life. But soon Chrissie discovered not only had Robert set-up a robbery at Home Farm, he was also cheating on her.
When he refused to sign the divorce papers, Chrissie poured petrol everywhere and set fire to his car. But as Robert put the fire out to rescue Adam Barton who was sleeping nearby, they had no idea the fire had spread to some gas cannisters which then exploded. The explosion hit a helicopter which then crashed into the town hall where Debbie Dingle and Pete Barton were getting married. The explosion resulted in the deaths of Ruby Haswell and Val Pollard and Chrissie became a village pariah.
After receiving a suspended sentence, Chrissie began a fling with Robert’s brother Andy Sugden. She later found out Lawrence was not her real dad and her and Lachlan were thrown out of Home Farm. Fuming Lachlan shot his grandad in the stomach and Chrissie scrambled to cover up the crime. She framed Andy after discovering him cheating with Bernice Blackstock.
In 2018, Chrissie planned to move to Australia with her family, but tragedy struck…
Evil Lachlan ruled the village (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Lachlan White played by Thomas Atkinson
Lachlan, nicknamed ‘Lucky’ by his mum proved to be an extremely disturbed young man. This first became apparent when he befriended Jacob Gallagher and grew close to his mum, Alicia. Lachlan then sexually assaulted Alicia who called the police.
Lawrence and Chrissie immediately defended him, but then Chrissie found evidence and realised he was guilty. She called the police herself and Lachlan went to prison.
Lachlan then continued to show psychopathic tendencies when he shot Lawrence in the stomach. They family covered it up and framed Andy for it. But his worst crimes were yet to come…

Rebecca White played by Emily Head
Rebecca White arrived in Emmerdale in 2016 unannounced and in a helicopter. She promptly slapped Robert round the face! But it turned out she and Robert were working together to find out if Rebecca was Lawrence’s biological child.
Rebecca made a move on Robert – who was involved with Aaron Dingle – and their affair was revealed by twisted Lachlan in the pub on Rebecca’s 30th birthday. But Rebecca knew that Lachlan had shot Lawrence and framed Andy Sugden and she soon manipulated Lachlan into admitting it.
With Lachlan behind bars and Chrissie furious because she had been the one to cover it up, the sisters’ feud intensified. Rebecca then had a fling with Ross Barton and Robert Sugden. She fell pregnant with Robert’s baby.
When baby Seb arrived, Rebecca and the rest of the Whites decided the only way to keep Robert out of their lives was to leave for Australia.
The deaths of Lawrence and Chrissie White in Emmerdale
Lachlan did not want to leave so he told Robert about it, who kidnapped Seb. The White family gave chase, but Lachlan grabbed the wheel and steered the car to hit a lorry head-on. Lawrence was sitting in the back seat with no seatbelt on and was catapulted through the back windshield. Chrissie was also killed.

What happened to the rest of the White family in Emmerdale, Rebecca and Lachlan?
Rebecca suffered permanent brain damage after the accident. And for Lachlan it was the start of his road to becoming a serial killer.
His best mate Gerry knew the truth about what had happened in the car, so Lachlan killed him. He also murdered a conman posing as Gerry’s uncle.
Lachlan then kidnapped Rebecca after she found Liv Flaherty and Robert unconscious in Mill Cottage following Lachlan’s attempt to gas them. He kept her in a deserted chalet and also told her the truth about the car crash.
It looked like he had killed Rebecca when he strangled her. But it was eventually revealed to viewers that Rebecca was alive and in a remote cottage, being kept by a retired nurse. Rebecca got free and managed to find Aaron, Victoria and Robert.
After Lachlan tried to get Belle to run away with him, she managed to get away and was accidentally run over by Robert. Lachlan was arrested and taken to prison, where he currently remains.

Rebecca White’s death
After rekindling things with Ross Barton, Rebecca went to live with him and Seb in Liverpool. Not much else has been said about them since other than the odd mention when his son Moses goes to visit.
However now Ross is back in town and has revealed the shocking news that Rebecca is dead. She apparently went in for routine surgery and her heart stopped. Seb has gone to live with Rebecca’s aunt in Bristol and we are all totally shocked.

According to MailOnline, Louise endured four different rehab stints after leaving Emmerdale. She turned her experience into one-woman show, Rita Lynn: Lifecoach, for which she started a GoFundMe page.
She told the tabloid outlet: “Having completely decimated my life, this appeal is asking for the opportunity to put my life back together again.
“I want to carry a story of strength and hope to the addict that still suffers while busting wide open the chaos that addiction causes to your life and everybody that you drag down with it.
“I was very unwell for a very long time and because of that I want to use my platform to help other people and that’s what I’m asking for the opportunity to do, really.”
She added she is “much better” but “not perfect” and still progressing.

Dr Adam Forsythe arrived in Emmerdale as the love interest of troubled Steph Stokes.
At first he seemed to be her knight in shining armour, but things soon took a dark turn as he was hiding a very dark secret. Here’s the lowdown.
Arriving in Emmerdale
Dr Adam came to the village as the new GP and was thrown right in at the deep end when teenager Debbie Dingle went into labour and he had to deliver her baby!
He quickly won over the local pensioners with his charm, and also attracted the attention of Steph Stokes, who managed the B&B.
Steph and Adam hit it off and started a relationship.

Terence Turner blackmails Adam in Emmerdale
Steph opened up to Adam and told him that her brother Terence had sexually abused her when they were teenagers. Adam was horrified and supported Steph when she told her dad, Alan, what had happened.
But Alan didn’t believe Steph, and took Terence’s side.
Then Terence turned his attention to Adam, and went digging into his past. He discovered Adam had been struck off and was no longer legally allowed to be a doctor! He then started blackmailing Adam.
Terence’s campaign against Steph and Adam came to an end when Adam found him attacking Steph! There was a struggle that only ended when Adam whacked Terence with a fire extinguisher and pushed him down the stairs, killing him.
Terence died, and Adam and Steph buried him in the woods!

Paranoia!
Poor Steph struggled with what they – well, Adam, really – had done. Adam was so worried he whisked her off to Barbados, and they tied the knot.
But Steph’s paranoia just increased and worried that she was about to fess up, Adam started drugging her.
When Steph finally admitted what they’d done to her stunned dad, Alan Turner, Adam let her guide him to the woods. But when they got there, the body had gone!
Adam had sneakily moved Terence’s corpse. Eventually he was found when the King’s River showhome exploded.

Adam exposed in Emmerdale
Adam tried to kill poor Steph and fled, but he was later arrested.
On the stand, he told the court that Steph had killed Shelley Williams. Steph, knowing that was true and that she’d got away with it, instead confessed to murdering Terence and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
But she implicated Adam and he was also sent to prison. But just a few days later, he took his own life in his cell.
Who played Dr Adam Forsythe?
Adam was played by Richard Shelton. Since his stint on Emmerdale he’s written and starred in several Frank Sinatra tribute shows, and won awards for his skills!
