Fans of Emmerdale have called out chilled Mack Boyd for his entirely underwhelmed reaction to this week’s calamitous barn fire. As a confused Moira inadvertently sparked a blaze which trapped her and Ruby inside the barn, Mack was the first on the scene.
Speeding over on his quad bike, he met John at the barn doors – and established that Moira was inside. As John tried to get inside, Mack called for help, alerting Chas and Cain.
This done, he then joined John inside, and the pair set about trying to rescue Moira and Ruby. And surely Mack would be desperate to save his sister from a painful death, right?
Right?

Mack and John to the rescue… but mostly John
By the time Cain arrived, Mack was back outside the barn, claiming that he’d been unable to find Moira.
Ruby, meanwhile, was safe and sound (smoke inhalation notwithstanding), having being carried out by the heroic pair.
But fans were quick to notice how calm Mack seemed about the whole situation – especially given that his sister was inside the barn, potentially burning to death.

Emmerdale fans slam Mack over barn fire reaction
As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Mack’s surprisingly calm reaction.
“Cain saving Moira whilst useless Mack just leaves his OWN sister in there to burn!” exclaimed one fan on X.
“Mack couldn’t sound less concerned on the phone,” noticed another.
“Mack sounded like he didn’t give a [swear] that his sister was in a burning barn,” pointed out a third.
“I’m not a fan of the Mack/John acting right now, they’re a bit too calm for my liking,” said a fourth.
Military man John we can excuse, but not Mack, who didn’t seem too worried about his sister meeting a grisly end.
Emmerdale chef Marlon Dingle could well be in the running for the most-married man in the Dales, if it wasn’t for a certain Bob Hope!
So how many times has he been married? In fact, he’s got five weddings behind him.
Currently in Classic Emmerdale episodes he is in full-wedding planning mode to Donna Windsor – but having dreams about late wife Tricia, which doesn’t bode too well if you ask us!
Meanwhile, in current Emmerdale he is happily (for the most-part) married to Rhona Goskirk.
But who was the real love of his life?

Who is Marlon Dingle in Emmerdale?
Fan fave Marlon’s been in the village for so long now we can barely remember a time when Emmerdale existed without him!
He arrived with dad Albert – Zak Dingle’s brother – in a red sports car. Marlon started working in various jobs, even working with Frank Tate for a while.
But it was when he got a job working with Kathy Glover at her wine bar and tea room he found his calling as a chef.
Although he’s a moral, upstanding guy now, he is a Dingle, meaning back in the day he got into his fair share of scrapes and committed some petty crimes. He was even cast out of the Dingle clan at one point after he got Sam beaten up.

1. Tricia Stokes
Marlon was ousted from the tea rooms when Kathy hired chef Carlos Diaz. But by then he was working at the Woolpack and was on his way to meeting first wife, Tricia Stokes.
Marlon and Tricia were clearly made for each other. She was cheeky, kind-hearted and funny. But it wasn’t all plain sailing (when is it ever in Soapland?!) when Tricia agreed to marry Joe Fisher so he could stay in the country with his boyfriend Jason Kirk. the fake marriage caused her and Marlon to split, during which time Marlon dated one Rhona Goskirk. But before long he and Tricia were back together.
This time they made it – even surviving Tricia’s mother, Steph Stokes coming on to her future son-in-law. Tricia and Marlon wed in a surprise ceremony on Valentine’s Day and for a while they were happy.
But when Tricia went off to star in a Bollywood film, Marlon made a very bad move, having a one-night stand with cousin Charity Dingle. Tricia found out and was heartbroken.
She planned to leave the village on New Year’s Eve 2004, but Marlon wrote her a sweet list of all the things he loved about her and she changed her mind.
Just as she was coming back into the pub to tell her husband the good news, though, tragedy struck. In a huge storm, the Woolpack chimney collapsed and Tricia was killed. Marlon had to make the decision to turn off her life-support machine and was left completely heartbroken. Has he ever really got over Tricia? We’re not so sure.
It wasn’t happy ever after for Marlon with Donna (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
2. Donna Windsor
Still grieving Tricia, Marlon grew close to Donna Windsor. Things turned from friendship to love and they started dating. But because Donna was much younger, they took things slowly. Donna’s desire to join the police also didn’t sit well with the Dingle family – for obvious reasons!
When the pair got engaged, both started having doubts about their future. She was caught trying on Tricia’s old wedding dress, which caused Marlon to flip. He then confessed he had been having dreams about Tricia. Donna was seriously concerned they were making a mistake.
But the pair tied the knot and despite some hard times as a couple including caring for Marlon’s cousin Lilith’s children and even hoping to adopt them, and the arrival of Marlon’s dodgy brother, Eli, they remained strong.
Things took a turn however when Donna couldn’t resist her partner PC Ross Kirk – Paddy’s cousin. They had an affair and Marlon and Donna split. They did consider a reunion, but Marlon couldn’t resist drunkenly snogging another cousin – Chas – and he and Donna called it quits for good.
Donna left the village, but returned in 2014 with her daughter, April. Donna was dying of terminal cancer and had brought April home to meet her dad – Marlon. Shocked Marlon soon found himself a full-time dad to April.

3. Laurel Thomas
Marlon and Laurel had what was deemed an emotional affair when she was married to Ashley Thomas. Given her faith and Ashley’s status as the local vicar, Laurel would not cheat however, and fought her feelings for Marlon despite how much she wanted to be with him.
Marlon and Laurel got married but Laurel’s struggles with alcoholism, just as Marlon was getting to know little April, proved too much for the couple and they split.

4. Jessie Grant
Marlon had a relationship with Carly Hope – Donna’s stepsister – for a while, but Carly left the village with her handsome ex-boyfriend Matt.
Marlon wasn’t single for long when he met son Leo’s headteacher, Jessie Grant. Jessie was still on the rebound from her last relationship, but after a while she and Marlon got together and even married in a surprise Christmas ceremony.
But Jessie’s sons Ellis and Billy, and her ex Al Chapman then turning up, all caused friction. Marlon and Jessie’s marriage just wasn’t strong enough and Jessie left for a new job in Dubai.

5. Rhona – first, second and third time!
After their 2001 dalliance, Rhona and Marlon got back together when she returned for good in 2010. However Rhona soon fell for Marlon’s best friend Paddy.
It caused trouble, especially as Rhona was pregnant with Marlon’s baby. But the three of them eventually found a way to co-parent Leo happily.
Paddy cheated on Rhona and they split. She then married evil Pierce Harris and we all know how that ended. She went on to have relationships with Pete Barton and Graham Foster.
But eventually in 2021 she and Marlon rekindled their romance. They were hit by many a hurdle, but seemed to remain strong.Â
Their biggest test came in 2022 when Marlon suffered a stroke. He and Rhona had just proposed to each other when he collapsed at home. The road to recovery was long and tough for the couple, but Rhona stayed by his side throughout and they eventually married in August 2022.
They were again tested when Rhona found out her ex, Gus, had used her frozen embryos to have a baby with his new wife, Lucy. When Lucy died in childbirth, Rhona felt she was the right person to look after the daughter she deemed hers.
A fight with Gus over baby Ivy left her relationship with Marlon in tatters. Thankfully, they came through it and are now focused on their future as a family of five.
Fans of Emmerdale have been left raging following the explosive cliffhanger last night’s episode of the soap left viewers to reckon with.
In the continuation of Monday night’s barn fire storyline, viewers were on the edge of their seats as Moira Dingle‘s family rushed to the scene of the blazing inferno.
And, as Cain tried desperately to save his wife, both of their lives were left hanging in the balance.

Moira and Cain trapped as the barn fire escalates
After calling Chas and Cain to alert them to the situation, Mack and John rushed inside. The pair managed to rescue Ruby, but Moira remained trapped inside.
Brushing off a terrified Chas, Cain stormed into the barn to rescue his wife. And, as the pair became trapped inside, an enormous explosion rocked the bystanders outside to the ground.
A huge explosion ripped through the barn in Emmerdale last night with Cain and Moira still inside – but does Cain die? We don’t think so!
Come on, this is Cain Dingle we’re talking about! The man has more lives than several cats put together. Plus, he’s smack bang in the middle of a huge storyline, so there’s no way they’d just end it there… Or would they?
Moira and Cain were huddled together in the burning barn (Credit: ITV)
Does Cain die in Emmerdale?
So on Wednesday September 11 the barn fire Moira accidentally started when she shot at Ruby Fox-Miligan was still raging on. Mack noticed the smoke and raced over on a quadbike, then John arrived, the emergency services were called and the pair went inside the burning building to try and rescue Moira.
But instead they found injured and barely conscious Ruby and carried her to safety. Mackenzie insisted he hadn’t been able to find Moira due to all the smoke and flames.
Chas, Cain and Caleb raced over to the barn and there was no stopping Cain from rushing in to rescue his wife. He located her and worked to get them out of there. Moira, who thought it was hopeless, told Cain that she loved him.
He wasn’t giving up though, and covering them both with a huge blanket, he tried to lead them out to safety. But before they could get outside, the barn exploded. Those outside including Chas, Mack and John were thrown to the floor and Chas screamed, knowing her brother had almost certainly perished.
Indeed, it doesn’t look at all like anyone could survive that blast. Anyone except Cain Dingle…
Moira and Cain rushed out under a burning blanket (Credit: ITV)
Come on, Cain can’t die in Emmerdale!
It is very clear to us that Cain won’t die. There’s three very good reasons we think he’ll still be alive tonight…
Moira stares as she blacks out again (Credit: ITV)
1. Moira’s storyline needs wrapping up
It’s been clear for all to see that there’s something seriously wrong with Moira. She has been having seizures and hallucinations and lashing out without remembering she’s done it. Cain and co think it’s the menopause, but fans are pretty sure it’s a brain tumour.
But with any diagnosis yet to be given, they can’t kill Cain off in the middle of this storyline, surely?!
Plus, Jeff Hordley told Lorraine during behind-the-scenes filming that there is “more to come” in the aftermath of the fire and seemingly confirmed Cain and Moira will both still be alive.

2. Cain needs to take on Tom
Cain has just found out about his sister Belle’s abuse at the hands of Tom King. There is no way Emmerdale would deny us a showdown between the pair, it’s what we’ve been waiting for.
Although Belle has insisted she doesn’t want Cain to lash out in violence, he at the very least has to make Tom suffer somehow – even if that’s just being by Belle’s side and defending her every step of the way.
Cain cannot die with Tom still getting away with it!
3. He’s Cain Dingle!
This is not the first fire Cain has survived. He was pulled out of a garage fire started by Adam Barton. And he has had so many brushes with death there’s too much to mention!
But his lucky escapes have included a brain aneurism, being attacked and left for dead by his father, Zak, a car smash involving Al and an attack by Aaron Dingle.
Cain always comes out on top and we have no reason to think any different this time. Or at least we hope we don’t!

Butlers barn is still ablaze in Emmerdale spoilers
1. The terror continues at Butlers
A deadly blaze has ripped through the barn at Butlers, putting numerous lives at risk. The fire began during a showdown between Moira Dingle and Ruby Fox-Miligan.
When Ruby confronted Moira at Butlers she started to hear the voice of her old nemesis, Emma Barton. Freaked out, Moira fired her shotgun and hit a lightbulb, which caused a fire to ignite.
Moira and Ruby were trapped as the barn went up in flames. Mack and John rushed to the rescue and risked their own lives by entering the burning building. Cain and Chas were next to arrive at the scene along with Caleb and Will.
After John and Mack dragged Ruby out, Cain ran into the barn to save his wife. But then the whole place exploded and they hadn’t got out. As devastated Chas screams for her brother, will he and Moira survive the blast or is that the end for them?

3. Matty faces an agonising wait
Stood with the rest of the terrified villagers is Moira’s son, Matty.
He knows Moira was caught up in the inferno, but has no idea if she’s dead or alive. Matty has had to deal with terrible tragedy in his life. His father John was killed in a car crash and his sister Holly succumbed to a heroin overdose. Those Bartons are certainly a cursed clan.
In Classic Emmerdale spoilers airing on ITV3 on Thursday September 12, Donna Windsor’s wedding plans hit a snag, and Alice faces a tough choice about her health. These episodes first aired on January 9 and 10 2006.

Marlon and Donna’s heart-to-heart
Marlon later tries to make things right with Donna after the dress disaster. He fills a living room with heart-shaped balloons, but then he confesses his lingering dreams about Tricia. This, however, leaves Donna even more uncertain about their future, confiding in Bob that she’s having doubts about the wedding.
Alan and Terence’s family confrontation
Meanwhile, Alan Turner has a serious heart-to-heart with his son, Terence, about Steph’s shocking accusations. As Alan digs into his past, Terence explains that Steph’s feelings might stem from childhood misunderstandings related to Alan’s drinking and emotional outbursts.
It’s a moment of vulnerability for Alan, who wants to make things right. The question remains: will Terence ever return to the village after such a turbulent past?
Over at the antenatal class, things take a heartbreaking turn for Alice and Sam. Surrounded by happy parents-to-be, Sam reveals that Alice is battling cancer, leaving the room in stunned silence.
Back home, Alice chastises Sam for opening up, expressing her fear that talking about her illness takes away from the chance of being a ‘normal’ mum. The struggle is heartbreaking as she clings to the hope of some normalcy amidst her health crisis.

Alice’s decision
Alice receives reassurance from the nurse about her treatment options, but she still refuses chemotherapy. She fears the risks it poses to her unborn child and is determined to wait until after the baby is born, despite the toll it takes on her health.
Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Jo’s interrupted night out
Elsewhere, Jo’s plans for a fun evening go awry when she returns home to find Dawn, Danny, and Scott lounging on the sofa. As she tries to rally them for a night out, her suggestions are met with reluctance—Scott’s still under house arrest, and Danny just wants to relax with Dawn. Jo can’t resist teasing them about acting like an old married couple.

An explosion rips through one of the barns in Emmerdale this evening, while Cain and Moira are trapped inside.
As the force of the Emmerdale explosion knocks the shocked onlookers off their feet, things look bleak for everyone who’s nearby.
But will everyone make it out alive? We took a look at everyone who’s there when the barn burns, and who could end up dead!
Ruby was in trouble even before the fire broke out (Credit: ITV)
Ruby
As a frantic Caleb arrived at the barn in tonight’s episode, brave Mack was emerging from the flames holding Ruby. She may be out of the fire itself but she’s badly injured and was suffering from a head wound before the blaze took hold. Could she be one of the casualties?
Things looked bleak for Moira (Credit: ITV)
Will Moira die in the Emmerdale explosion?
Moira started the fire when she fired her shotgun and caused sparks to ignite the petrol-soaked hay in the barn. But it’s clear she’s not herself and she was hallucinating when Ruby confronted her. With Moira already vulnerable and obviously unwell, will she even attempt to make it out of the flames?
Cain raced towards the flames (Credit: ITV)
Cain
Moira’s husband Cain has gone into the flames to rescue her but though Moira was more alert when he arrived, it looked grim. With their way out blocked by the fire and cans of petrol, it didn’t seem like there was any way to make it to safety. Undaunted, Cain wrapped a tarpaulin round them both and tried to get Moira to the door – just as the barn exploded. Will he make it out alive?
Could Caleb be in trouble? (Credit: ITV)
Caleb
Soaps are tricky things and sometimes you think someone is in dire straits, only to discover they’re fine and it’s the person who seemed okay all along, who’s in trouble. So while Caleb seemed to be only worried about Ruby, he was knocked off his feet when the barn exploded and we can’t help wonder if he might have injured himself?
Will’s in all sorts of trouble but does that include perishing in the fire? (Credit: ITV)
Will
Still focused on his blackmailer’s relentless messaging, Will wandered off to take a phone call while the flames raged. He wasn’t with the others outside when the barn exploded. Was he too close for comfort? Could this be a really extreme way to put an end to his blackmailer’s demands?!
Mack and John went into the barn (Credit: ITV)
Mackenzie
Mack is not at his best right now, having just recovered from being attacked by a bull. He bravely ran into the flames to rescue Ruby but could this be the thing that finally finishes him off? He’s survived the bull, a stabbing, Meena’s maize maze blaze, the dramatic accident that saw his car plunge off a cliff, and the wrath of Charity when she found out he’d cheated. Is it going to be the barn fire that ends him once and for all?
Could John be hurt in the Emmerdale explosion?
Newcomer John is right there when the barn explodes. He seems unscathed as he sits up, shocked at what just happened. But he was inside the barn with Mack and smoke can cause a lot of damage. Is Victoria about to lose another brother?
Is Chas going to be one of the casualties? (Credit: ITV)
Chas
Chas may have stayed outside the barn, agonising over Cain’s bravery as he headed into the flames, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe. Could she have banged her head when she was thrown to the ground by the force of the flames? Perhaps she’s so worried about her brother she hasn’t even yet noticed her own injuries…
Where is Nate? (Credit: ITV)
Nate
The last time we saw Nate, he said he was going to talk to Moira. We didn’t see him leave for Shetland and he’s not been seen since. Everyone in the village thinks he’s upped and gone. BUT… are we putting two and two together and coming up with five, if we say, perhaps he’s in the barn too? Or nearby somewhere? Perhaps he’s badly injured or even dead and no one knows to look for him!

In Emmerdale tonight it looked like Cain and Moira had perished when the barn exploded with them still inside. Is there any way they can make it out alive? Surely this can’t be the end for the soap power couple…
The barn fire continued in Emmerdale tonight…
Mack and John fought their way through the flames (Credit: ITV)
John and Mack rushed to save the day
Moira came round and tried to rouse Ruby, who was out cold. Then she found out locking the barn from the inside hadn’t been her smartest move as she couldn’t get out.
Meanwhile, Mack saw smoke coming from the barn and raced over there on his quad bike. John also arrived swiftly and took charge of the situation. Mack called the emergency services, with a serious lack of urgency in his voice, it has to be said – come on man, your sister’s in a burning barn!
Elsewhere, Chas was trying to get through to Cain with them all still thinking Moira was going through the menopause. For crying out loud, clearly there’s something much more seriously wrong with Moira! Then they got the call that the barn was on fire and they needed to go, fast.
Cain and Chas looked panicked as they raced towards the burning barn (Credit: ITV)
Cain raced in to save Moira
In the burning barn, John and Mack had located Ruby. They managed to get her out just as Cain, Chas, Caleb and Will arrived. But with no sign of Moira, Cain raced into the burning barn to save his wife. The one he had declared things were over with.
He found Moira and she told him she loved him. They then got themselves under a blanket as Cain tried to lead them to safety.
Cue some very dramatic music that sounded a bit like the Casualty theme tune, as they tried to get out and then the barn exploded. With no sign of either Moira or Cain outside.
Thrown to the ground by the explosion, Chas screeched: “Caaaaaaiiiinnnn,” as she knew her brother had quite possibly perished.
But this is Moira and Cain, they aren’t gonna go like this, are they? Surely we need to find out what’s wrong with her and have a glorious reunion? Then again, there’s really no way anyone inside could survive that explosion… We’ll just have to leave it to the greatest hospital on earth, Hotton General, to work their magic.
And by the way, what’s taking the emergency services so long?!
Tom continued to manipulate in Emmerdale tonight
Tom always seems to get the upper hand (Credit: ITV)
Rhona and Vanessa took action
Rhona told Vanessa Tom has been abusing Belle. Rhona felt awful she didn’t spot the signs, but Vanessa was more concerned with getting rid of him. They agreed he was gone.
Tom arrived and overheard Vanessa and Rhona slagging him off. But Vanessa was pretty upfront about it, telling him they wanted him gone for good. Tom threatened them with an unfair dismissal case as they didn’t have any evidence, but they stood their ground. However they were left feeling shaky after Tom’s reaction.
Jimmy then found Tom brooding and caught a glimpse of his temper as he snapped at him. Is Jimmy finally seeing what his nephew is really like?
Nope!
Obviously Tom managed to manipulate him again to his side. Great. Good one Jimmy, you idiot.
Amelia stood by her man
Elsewhere, Belle went to visit Amelia to try and talk some sense into her. But Amelia stood firm and then Jimmy arrived and said Tom had disappeared. Charity and Belle begged Amelia to see sense, but Jimmy continued to side with Tom and Amelia decided to believe him instead.
And then they all started to worry Cain had dealt with Tom. They needn’t have, though, he was far too preoccupied with a burning barn.
Will Taylor decided to face his blackmailer in Emmerdale (Credit: ITV)
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Will was packing the money for the blackmailer, when Kim walked in. He lied to her he was going to try the new gym in Hotton. But she got very seductive and suggested they found another way to burn off his energy. He shrugged her off saying they needed to take things slowly as it was too important to him. Hmm, was that a wise move? Do you turn Kim Tate’s advances down and live to tell the tale?
As Will then arrived at the blackmailer’s meeting point, he saw Caleb who told him about the fire. Will rushed off to help. And missed his meeting with his tormentor. Which he will surely live to regret.
Meanwhile, hypocrite Tracy was upset over Nate and Moira and said she should have known he would never change. Er, hello pot, this is kettle. Anyone else getting really fed up of Tracy being so self-righteous?
Someone is blackmailing Will Taylor in Emmerdale and he has absolutely no idea who is making his life a misery!
Poor Will is having a bad old time of it this week. He’s in trouble right up to his neck after sleeping with his ex Rose.
Now he’s lying to wife Kim and trying to keep whoever is blackmailing him happy too. He’s pawned his watch, which was a wedding present, and just about everything he says to Kim is a fib!
Will thought he had the blackmail under control, but he missed the drop-off, thanks to racing to help with the barn fire. Now things are even worse!
Of course, Will’s got no idea who his tormentor is. So we have rounded up a list of the most likely suspects.
Is Rose the culprit? (Credit: ITV)
Rose
She’s the obvious choice, given her history of lying and fleecing her family. Plus she’s got a lot of beef with Will – and Kim – and she’s spent the last few weeks trying to split them up.
But Rose is soaking up the sun in the Med, and she doesn’t seem to have any inclination to return. Plus, Will knows his blackmailer is in the UK – perhaps we can cross Rose off the list.
Vengeful Dawn is still fuming with her dad (Credit: ITV)
Dawn
Dawn’s fuming with her dad for *checks notes* getting rid of the mum who lied to her, drugged her, and tried to split up her family. And she is really not in any mood to forgive him any time soon.
Could she be taking some twisted revenge on her dad? It’s possible!
Don’t mess with Lydia (Credit: ITV)
Lydia
Yes we know this is a crazy suggestion, but go with us here. Lyds is VERY protective of her bestie Kim. Kim was there for Lydia in her darkest times, and perhaps Lydia feels like she owes her. And more important than all that, Lydia knows that Will slept with Rose…
Jimmy’s being a mate to Will but is he the blackmailer? (Credit: ITV)
Jimmy
Plagued with money troubles, Jimmy could definitely do with a cash injection. But he’s been a real friend to Will these last few weeks and he’s even tried to talk him out of giving into the blackmail. Could he really have betrayed his mate?
Kim’s not going to be happy if she finds out what Will’s been up to. But is she blackmailing him? (Credit: ITV)
Kim
Kim Tate is no pushover. And she does not take kindly to being made a fool of. She loathed Rose and had her number straightaway, only for Dawn and Will to ignore her concerns. Does she know the truth about Will and Rose? If so, she’s really taking terrible revenge!
She loves scheming, does Ruby! (Credit: ITV)
Ruby
Ruby was behind Rose’s plan to break up Will and Kim. She was pulling the strings behind the scenes back then, so perhaps she’s still in control? C0uld she be the one making Will’s life a misery?
Manipulative Caleb was in the right place for the cash pick-up (Credit: ITV)
Caleb
Caleb’s still determined to take everything he can away from Kim. He’s set his sights on the haulage yard and is busy sabotaging it left, right and centre. Could this sinister blackmail plot be part of his plan?

Terence Turner in Emmerdale met a sorry end at the hands of his sister Steph Stokes – sort of! But did he deserve what happened to him?
Here’s our rundown on what Terence did.
Who was Terence Turner?
Terence was the son of Woolpack landlord Alan Turner. He also had a sister, Steph Stokes, and he was the uncle of Tricia Dingle, though she had died before Terence returned to the village.
Terence was arrogant and entitled (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock )
Early days in Emmerdale
Clever student Terence was studying at Oxford in the 198os, when he also had a romance with Sandie Merrick – much to the disappointment of her stepdad, Jack Sugden.
Back then, lazy and arrogant Terence was always on the hunt for a way to make money and move out of traditional farming – from dry ski slopes to crop spraying, rock climbing and even making pickle!
Return to Emmerdale
When Terence returned to the village many years later his character had been ‘aged up’ by many years and was played by a new actor, Nick Brimble.
Straightaway it was clear that young Terence’s arrogance and sense of entitlement hadn’t changed. In fact, he’d come back to Emmerdale in order to fleece his poor dad out of £20,000!
Steph wasn’t happy to see her brother (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Steph’s horror
Terence’s sister Steph was living in Emmerdale by then and she was horrified to see her brother again.
She revealed to her dad that Terence had sexually abused her when they were teenagers. But Alan – much to Steph’s distress – didn’t believe her. He accused Steph of making up her accusations because she was jealous of her brother.
And it was only when Terence got drunk one night and confessed that Alan finally realised Steph had been telling the truth all along. Alan and Terence had a fight and Terence fled – having nicked Alan’s money first of course.
Terence did some digging into Adam’s past (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Blackmail!
Steph was married to Dr Adam Forsythe and after Terence disappeared, Adam began getting odd phone calls.
It turned out the phone calls were from Terence who’d done a bit of digging into Adam’s past. He’d found out that Adam had hit a young boy and been struck off – but he was still practising as a doctor.
Terence demanded £50,000 from Adam to keep quiet.
Murder!
When Terence came to collect the cash, Adam knocked him out with ether, and put him in the basement. When he woke up, he attacked Adam and Steph. They fought back and Adam whacked him over the head with a fire extinguisher – killing him.
Steph and Adam buried Terence in the woods, but Steph struggled with her guilt. To keep her quiet, Adam began drugging her! Poor Steph thought she was having a nervous breakdown.
When Terence’s body was found – under the rubble of the Kings River show home – Steph confessed to her crime – even though Adam was the one who actually struck the fatal blow -Â and she and Adam were arrested.
Adam took his own life in his prison cell and Steph was sentenced to life. She took the punishment as penance for killing her friend – and Alan’s partner – Shelley.
