As Mack takes on a bull and loses, other animals that have caused chaos in Emmerdale!

There’s a lot of drama in Emmerdale and often it’s caused by animals! Mack took on a bull – and lost – in this week’s episodes, ending up with a slightly anti-climactic bump on the head. And giving Moira another memory lapse to worry about, too.

Perhaps not surprisingly, seeing as Emmerdale is set in the countryside, Mack’s bull isn’t the first animal to cause chaos in the show.

Here’s our round-up of some of the most memorable!

Minty was Isaac’s best friend (Credit: ITV)

Missing Minty the lamb

Soft-hearted Isaac Dingle was horrified when he did a farm visit with his mum and discovered the runt of the lambs would be killed. Despite mum Moira’s misgivings, Isaac managed to persuade his dad Cain to let him have Minty as a pet. Isaac adored him so when he went missing during the summer fair he was distraught! Somehow, the youngster convinced the whole village to join in the search for the lamb. And to everyone’s surprise, it was Kim Tate who found the little lamb.

Sadly, Minty didn’t last long, leaving Isaac devastated, and accusing his parents of killing his pet!

Moira’s murderous moos

The spectacular storm in October 2022 left Liv Flaherty and Al Chapman dead. During the high winds, the barn housing Moira’s cows collapsed and the terrified animals stampeded.

Sam Dingle and Nate Robinson were forced to flee from the cows. Sam leaped over a hay bale to escape and ended up impaled on a tractor! Fortunately he recovered from his animal ordeal almost as quickly as Mack did.

Ice the vengeful horse

Evil Craig manipulated Lydia, and then raped her, leaving her life shattered and her marriage in tatters. So when he ended up dead, no one was very sorry.

And it turned out, Craig had lost his life at the hooves of another chaos-causing Emmerdale animal – Kim Tate’s horse, Ice.

Arnold the miracle gerbil

Marlon’s wife Jessie brought the school gerbil, Arnold, home to look after during the holidays. But when Marlon and Paddy were in charge, Marlon accidentally poisoned Arnold and the gerbil died. Aww!

The quick-thinking mates, though, found another gerbil that looked the same as Arnold, and brazened it out.

Until New Arnold gave birth! It turned out he was actually a she and she was pregnant when Marlon bought her.

Emma Barton’s chicken of doom

Emmerdale viewers knew Emma Barton was losing her mind when she held husband James hostage.

In scenes reminiscent of the Stephen King story, Misery, Emma made sure James stayed put. And the horror really ramped up when she appeared in her blood-splattered wedding dress, clutching a chicken she’d just slaughtered.

Emma’s rampage through the village was just beginning!

Sarah Sugden’s younger years: The war between the Sugdens and the Dingles

Sarah Sugden is the troublesome, troubled teenage daughter of Debbie Dingle and Andy Sugden. She’s a big sister to her ‘saviour sibling’ Jack – who lives in Scotland with their mum – and has a lot of uncles: Charity’s sons Noah, Moses and Ryan and Cain’s son’s Nate, Isaac and Kyle.

Sarah’s also the adopted cousin of Victoria’s son, Harry.

So when it comes to being at the heart of Emmerdale, Sarah‘s right in the thick of both the Sugden and Dingle dynasties!

Emmerdale: Sarah Sugden’s arrival

Sarah arrived unexpectedly! Her mum – Debbie Dingle – was just 15 years old and had hidden her pregnancy from everyone.

She had fallen pregnant after a brief romance with older teenager Andy Sugden, but hadn’t told him either!

Debbie gave birth in a barn and planned to abandon her baby at the hospital.

But of course, the shocking arrival didn’t stay secret for long! Daz Tittensor ran for help and found Emily Kirk – Debbie’s foster mother.

Emily helped deliver the tot and Debbie named her daughter Sarah Charity – after her two grandmothers. Emily had been about to leave Emmerdale after discovering her husband Paddy had cheated. But when Debbie had the baby, she decided to stay in the village after all, and help Debbie care for Sarah.

And that’s when things started to go wrong!

Hard decisions

With Debbie struggling to cope, she turned to foster mother Emily Kirk for support.

Emily was glad to help out but Cain was annoyed and accused her of interfering, and Emily decided enough was enough – she was leaving the village.

When Debbie found out Emily was going, she begged her to take baby Sarah with her.

Emily agreed and left the village with Sarah and though Cain tried to track her down, he couldn’t.

Returning to Emmerdale

A year later Emily and Sarah came back to Emmerdale, and Emily gave the tot to her dad, Andy.

Emily was shunned by the village, who called her a child-snatcher, and she even tried to end her own life.

Debbie agreed that Andy could keep Sarah, as long as she wasn’t part of her daughter’s life. Emily moved away and things settled down.

Andy, Jo and Debbie

By now Sarah was a toddler and Andy was engaged to Jo Stiles. Debbie told the couple she’d be happy for Jo to adopt little Sarah. But when it came to signing the papers, Debbie couldn’t do it!

When Andy went to prison, Jo let Debbie spend time with Sarah. When Andy found out, he was FUMING and ended up hitting Jo – starting months of abuse.

Jo confided in Debbie, Andy moved out, and Jo left Emmerdale.

More arguments!

The Dingles tried to persuade Debbie to get custody of her daughter, but Debbie was worried about the part she’d played in the murder of policeman Shane Doyle, and refused.

Andy kept custody of Sarah when Debbie was sent to jail. When she came home she wanted to see her daughter, but Andy refused and even tried to run off to Spain. Debbie stopped him and she eventually won full custody of Sarah after Jo made a statement about Andy’s violence towards her.

Since then, Sarah’s lived first with Debbie, and now with grandmother Charity.

3 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Jealous Tracy wants Nate back and Arthur means business with Jai

In tonight’s Emmerdale spoilers, Tracy gets jealous when she thinks Nate has got a new love interest. He sneaks off to take a phone call, and Tracy is sure he’s talking to another woman. But is there another explanation for Nate’s mysterious behaviour?

Meanwhile, Jai is troubled when Arthur takes a stand against him. All this and more on Emmerdale on Friday August 30.

Tracy and Nate reconcile in Emmerdale spoilers

1. Tracy and Nate spend family time together

Tracy and Nate are back on friendly terms after a difficult past few months.

The exes had a bitter split earlier after Tracy had an affair with Nate’s uncle, Caleb. She fell head over heels for the smooth-talking villain and ended her marriage to be with him.

But Tracy’s hopes of happiness were dashed when Caleb’s wife, Ruby, arrived to reclaim her man. Ruby outed Tracy and Caleb’s betrayal in the middle of Belle and Tom’s wedding. Caleb then went crawling back to his wife, but Nate wasn’t so forgiving. Tracy made an attempt to get their marriage back on track, but to no avail.

The pair have continued to co-parent daughter, Frankie. But there’s still this sense of unfinished business between them.

2. Tracy gets jealous

Tracy’s old feelings for Nate start to resurface after they spend some time with Frankie. Nate is pulled away to take a mysterious phone call and Tracy is curious to know who he’s speaking to. She even starts to wonder if Nate has got a new girlfriend.

Later, Tracy confides in Vanessa, who wants to know why she’s so bothered about Nate’s private business. But it’s obvious Tracy doesn’t like the thought of Nate moving on, and she still has unresolved feelings for him.

But is jealous Tracy barking up the wrong tree? Will she admit to Nate she wants them to try again? And does he feel the same?

Arthurâ€™s back! Where exactly has he been and why did he leave the Dales?

Arthur Thomas is back in Emmerdale. Thursday’s episode (August 29) saw a return to the Dales for Arthur following a brief break.

During his absence, he has missed out on a whole heap of drama, including mum Laurel’s heart attack and her split from Jai.

But where exactly has Arthur been and why did he leave Emmerdale?

Where did Arthur go?

The start of the year was a tough one for Arthur after his friend Heath died in a car accident.

He later disappeared from screen for a couple of months…

Following an argument with new husband Jai, who insulted her late husband â€“ and Arthur’s dad â€“ Ashley, Laurel suffered a heart attack.

It was during her recovery that Arthur’s absence was mentioned on screen â€“ with Laurel explaining he was in Australia.

Viewers previously saw Arthur’s grandfather Doug leave the Dales for a new life in Australia in 2020, so presumably Arthur went to spend time with him following his tough year.

Why did Arthur leave?

In real life, Alfie Clarke, who plays Arthur was studying for his GCSEs. The youngster is 16, so took time off to concentrate on his exams.

He shared photos to Instagram of himself and his mates at his school prom. He later posted a snap of the Emmerdale sign with the caption: “Good to be back.”

But what has he come back to? Mum Laurel is currently struggling amid Jai’s determination to fight dirty in their divorce. Laurel has had to continue working with her ex and faced insults daily. Will Arthur’s return lift her spirits?

Spoilers for the rest of the week share that Arthur wastes no time in defending his mum and Jai is unsettled to see that Arthur means business…

Has Jai met his match?

Emmerdale tonight: Bull-gate sent Mack to hospital, Arthur returned, and so did Kim!

In Emmerdale tonight, Mack had a very unfortunate run in with a bull (no, not in a china shop but in the barn.)

Elsewhere, Arthur returned from his holibobs Down Under and made one not-so-scary threat to Jai.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday, August 29.

Mack made an enemy out of a bull (Credit: ITV)

Bull-gate left Mack in a bad way

So, tonight, Mack declared that he was a ‘more handsome and less annoying’ version of John (less annoying Mack? Don’t kid yourself!)

This comment aside, things actually got pretty serious for Mack as his feud with John continued.

With John and Nate telling him that they’d moved the bull onto the field so that he could fix a quadbike in the barn safely, Mack got a right surprise when he came face to face with the bull… in the barn!

Suddenly being chased by the bull (and he wasn’t even wearing red), Mack made a run for it and jumped over the barn gate but… he ended up slipping and hitting his head on the ground.

Nate came running to his rescue but Mack ensured him that he was fine. Instead, he was adamant that John had placed the bull there to get revenge on him for destroying his van (and who could blame him?!)

Later on, Charity suggested that they got revenge on John and honestly we would’ve loved to see it. But, the pair didn’t have chance to finalise a plan as Mack ended up collapsing.

Charity then ended up accompanying Mack in the ambulance whilst ranting at Aaron… Why Aaron? We’ll get to that next!

Vic got more than she bargained for

So, after finding out about Mack’s incident, Aaron went to confront John to see whether he’d been responsible for the bull in the barn.

However, John managed to change the topic of conversation, drawing him in for a kiss.

They definitely were prepared to take things further but were awkwardly stopped in their tracks when Vic turned up at the barn and saw her brother about to get it on with her former brother-in-law. Poor Vic!

Whilst Aaron made it clear tonight that he ‘doesn’t do dates,’ it looks like a potential romance could be brewing between the Dingle and Sugden. Oooohhhh!

With all of this going on, Aaron simply didn’t realise that Mack’s injuries were more serious than first thought hence Charity’s rage.

Arthur returned to the Dales (Credit: ITV)

Arthur’s back and he’s out to get Jai

After living it up in the sun, Arthur finally came back to the Dales just as Gabby and Vinny were having a romantic moment.

Laurel was absolutely thrilled to see Arthur, flinging her arms around him. But, it wasn’t long before he found out everything about Jai and Laurel’s messy divorce.

He then went to pay Jai a little visit and told him to make things right with Laurel or he’d have him to answer to. Now, unless Arthur has undergone a huge personality change during his time away, we doubt Jai felt very threatened by this.

Kim’s back, but Will’s being tormented

The Queen of Home Farm returned to the Dales tonight after her time away in Dubai.

Will told Dawn the news but she wasn’t really impressed… (Well, at least we thought that it called for the ‘Breaking News’ klaxon, Dawn…)

Back at home, Will prepared a romantic surprise for Kim but ended up receiving some flowers with a note from a tormentor… Quickly hiding the note, Will handed the roses to Kim and said that he’d got them for her. Kim had a double sniff of the flowers and everything seemed to be rosy once again between the couple.

Jimmy decided to sell the Haulage (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale tonight: Jimmy was ready to sell up

Jimmy realised that it was time to sell the Haulage, offering the business to Caleb.

However, Gabby warned Jimmy about handing it over to Caleb. There must be a reason why Caleb would want a crumbling business, and it probably wasn’t a good one. You listen to Gabby, Jimmy!

Moira visited Liam at the surgery

After having another funny moment when trying to tell Chas that she’d left some sausages in the Woolpack fridge, Moira realised that she needed to be seen to.

She then asked for Manpreet at the surgery but Liam would have to do. Whilst describing her symptoms to Liam, she zoned out.

Liam admitted that Moira could be suffering from the menopause but there were countless numbers of other conditions that also had similar symptoms. He then referred Moira to Wendy for some blood tests. Hopefully, this will help her get to the bottom of things because we’re all very concerned about her!

Finally got the memo? Have Emmerdale actually killed off Mack this time?

The latest episode of Emmerdale (Thursday, August 29), saw Mackenzie Boyd in a life-threatening situation â€“ yet again (surprise, surprise!)

Of all the ways to meet your maker, being chased by a bull is at least an exciting option. That’s if Mack is really dead…

The unpopular mechanic has faced numerous near death experiences since arriving in the village as Moira’s long lost brother back in 2020 (long lost relatives are the only kind of relatives in Soapland.)

So is the game really up for him this time, or is he actually a cat with nine lives?

Has Mack finally met his match? (Credit: Emmerdale)

What happened to Mack?

The latest episode of Emmerdale saw mechanic Mack head to the barn to fix a quad bike. In order to work on it safely, John and Nate said they’d move the bull to the field.

However, when Mack arrived, the bull was still in the barn area and started to chase Mack (oh no!) Mack then climbed a gate in order to escape the bull, but he fell and hit his head.

Nate rushed to help, with Mack insisting he was OK. But he was angry and claimed that John left the bull in the barn on purpose as revenge for taking his van.

Viewers will know that earlier this month, John’s van was stolen from the garage and later discovered in the lake.

Later tonight, Aaron confronted John. But in typical soap feud fashion, the two started kissing instead. Aaron’s never been able to resist a Sugden, has he?

Meanwhile, Charity told Mack that they needed to plan their revenge on John. However, Mack wasn’t taking in much of what she was saying and complained about feeling ill.

Mack then collapsed to the floor before being rushed to hospital. We reckon he should just live there at this point!

Why is Mack unpopular?

Following his affair with Chloe, fans have been calling to leave the Dales.

Mack treated both Chloe and Charity terribly, but appeared to come out of the situation well â€“ kidnapping aside.

“When is Emmerdale gonna get rid of the worst character ever, Mack?” asked one fan on X, while another commented while seeing the bull in an earlier episode: “Thereâ€™s the bull that we all wish would finish off Mack.”Â

“Mack just continues to grate,” added another viewer, while a fourth said: “Emmerdale for [bleep] sake just get rid of Mackâ€¦ He’s already had 4 major storylines where heâ€™s almost diedâ€¦ surely this has got to be it!”

“They need to kill off tedious Mack please,” demanded another fan. But have the fans finally got their wish?

Mack’s survived every time! (Credit: ITV)

Has Mack been killed off?

Mack was originally a likeable character. But more recently, viewers have turned against him â€“ and for good reason.

This is also not the first time he has come close to death. It’s as if death follows him wherever he goes!

In the last year alone, he has been stabbed by Charity and kidnapped and left beaten in a warehouse by Chloe’s father â€“ again, for good reason.

Prior to that, Mack survived when a car he was in with Chloe and Charity was suspended over a cliff edge.

To say the man has nine lives would be an understatement, but could this be the time when Mack is finally killed off? Let’s be honest… probably not, which many have agreed is a load of bull…

“Happy â€˜Mack almost gets killed by a bull but doesnâ€™t cos Emmerdale have made an awful character invincibleâ€™ week to all those that celebrate,” joked one fan on X.Â

Other agreed, saying they refused to get their hopes up as Mack ‘will probably live.’

It’s almost as if Emmerdale are teasing us, but given the numerous opportunities they’ve had to kill Mack off, why would this time be any different? Then again, there’s only so many near-death experiences one person can have before fate catches up with them, right? RIGHT?

Remember Malone? Dawn shouldnâ€™t be so harsh on Will – he saved her from the cop shop

They have short memories over in Emmerdale â€“ namely Dawn, whose judgemental nature has caused fans to ask if she remembers shooting Malone.

In recent Emmerdale scenes, Dawn disowned her dad over his lies about her mum, Rose.

But given her history, is Dawn being harsh on the man who helped her cover up a murder?

Who was Malone?

DI Mark Malone was a bent police officer who appeared in Emmerdale in 2020. He was also the boss of a criminal gang, who Will Taylor once worked for.

During his short stay in the village, Malone managed to blackmail Will, Cain and Billy into working for him.

Malone later threatened Billy, saying he had the whole police force in his pocket and could get Billy sent down for years on fake assault charges.

Malone then threatened Will’s daughter Dawn, and tried to convince her to take a fatal overdose of heroin. Fortunately, Harriet came to the rescue and hit Malone over the head with an ornament â€“ an action both ladies thought had killed him.

However, an angry Malone woke up and attempted to attack Dawn and Harriet. Dawn instinctively reached for Malone’s gun and shot him three times, resulting in his death. Harriet suggested burying him in an already occupied grave.

Malone was killed (Credit: ITV)

Will helped Dawn cover up her crime

Initially hiding what she had done from her father, Dawn eventually told her dad the truth when he was questioned about Malone’s disappearance.

Disaster struck later that year when a woman arrived in the village and announced she was the daughter of the man in the graveyard beneath where they had buried Malone â€“ and she wanted to dig him up.

Wanting to protect his daughter, Will took control of the situation and decided they should re-bury Malone in a secluded spot of land at Home Farm.

Kim later revealed to Will that she’d asked a shady contact to dig up the body and destroy it, meaning that Will and Dawn didn’t need to worry about Malone anymore.

Dawn is being harsh on Will

With all that in mind, fans have rightly pointed out how hypocritical Dawn is being in current Emmerdale storylines.

Will and Kim recently paid Dawn’s mum Rose money to leave the village. Dawn discovered this but pleaded ignorance in an attempt to trick her dad into revealing the truth.

However, when he was more worried about protecting Kim than Rose’s potential demise, Dawn told her dad she didn’t want to see him again. Something which has angered viewers.

“Oh Dawn get off your high horse. You killed someone, hid the body and let Kim sort it for you. You sponge off her and live with your whole family in her home. Whiny mare,” one fan said on X.

While another added: “Dawn is such an ungrateful [bleep], dad literally covered up a murder for her and she’s like ‘I hate you!!!’”

“I don’t remember Dawn being so judgemental when her dad and Kim helped her hide the body of the man she murdered,” said a third fan. With a fourth writing: “Dawn is so ungrateful. Kim and Will have helped her get away with murder (literally), provided a stable home for her to prove she is a good mother to social services, Kim accepted her and the kids as family and in her home and all Dawn can do is moan!”

Will Dawn have a change of heart?

Emmerdale tonight: Cain failed to believe that Moira was ill, Will lashed out at Billy, and Caleb relished in his successful schemes

Emmerdale tonight saw a worrying continuation of bad health for Moira as she regained consciousness after her seizure and her son said she smelt terrible (how charming!…)

Elsewhere, Jimmy and Will felt like schoolboys after they received an emergency visit from HMRC (yikes) which scheming Caleb arranged.

From menopause chats to trifles, hereâ€™s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday, August 28).

Emmerdale tonight: Moira’s health updates

Emmerdale tonight started with a lone Moira shivering on the floor of her barn. Despite being an animal lover, this appeared strange to her.

She could not move and reached for a horse blanket to keep away the chill. She looked exhausted despite the full face of makeup.

Later, she entered her home while Isaac ate his toast (there was no milk on the dairy farm for his cereal). Moira explained she was looking over one of their cows when Isaac insulted her scent.

Moira in obvious discomfort took a painkiller while Cain grew uncharacteristically angry (no surprise there).

Moira blamed her struggles on Cain for stressing her out and stormed from the house before he could get another word in.

Cain’s frustration

After (not) cooling off, Cain and Moira engaged in yet another argument. Cain revealed he spoke to Nate, to which Moira exploded. She insisted she was ill, potentially going through the menopause, and wouldn’t change for him.

Back in his stomping ground of the pub, Cain confided in Chas and admitted he blamed Moira for flirting openly. Chas openly defended Moira and told him she’s probably right about the illness.

Ever the voice of reason, Chas told him to calm down and talk to Moira properly.

Later, Moira took another wee kip on the sofa while Isaac looked after her and made his own dinner. He requested to eat out and Moira said she’d consider it when they got home, despite them both being there already.

Isaac laughed at his mum, but Moira looked distressed and worried when reality set in.

Will Isaac and Moira keep their pact and refuse to tell Cain about her so-called dizzy spells?

Diesel dilemma

As if Will hadn’t suffered enough negativity recently, a HMRC inspector turned up at the Haulage yard in the morning. She informed that she received reports of the highly-illegal red diesel. Will, although worried, was convinced he’s clean…

That conviction quickly turned into a hefty fine which could threaten to harm him and Jimmy. On a war path, Will decided to take his anger out on Billy.

He stopped him in the street and shouted at Billy for talking to him rudely. Tired of his rambles, Billy bit back and told him Dawn’s reaction was entirely his fault – and we loved the drama!

Scrambling for a retort, Will accused Billy of tampering with the diesel at the yard. That was one accusation too far for Billy and he stormed off.

Caleb the crook

The true villain revealed himself in a blue shirt. Caleb was delighted to hear Ruby had directed a HMRC officer to the yard to discover red diesel he himself had planted.

Ruby was equally delighted with her husband as the pair schemed to get the Haulage yard to themselves. She helpfully suggested Caleb should dress as the devil if he signs on Halloween.

The blonde bob must help with gossip, as Ruby happened to overhear Nicola and Jimmy discuss their new hefty fine. Her demands for coffee quickly died and she settled back to hear more about Jimmy and Will’s downfall.

Billy walked in for cake (yum) and Jimmy requested he made up with Will. Safe to say Billy refused and suggested Will was not the man they thought they knew.

Jimmy decided to go to the pub and Ruby was quick to share this with Caleb, who just so happened to be there when Jimmy walked in.

Dinner chats

Nothing appears to please Jimmy more than a steak and kidney pie with a pint, but tonight he loved the company of Caleb. Jimmy asked Caleb how he looked so wrinkle-free, to which Caleb was keen to share.

A few pints down and a trifle later, Caleb made more strategic chess moves to get information from Jimmy. Growing more frustrated at his partner Will, Jimmy jokingly offered Caleb half the business.

Caleb surprisingly refused and joked it was due to Jimmy’s complaints on Will. Jimmy joked he regretted making the comments.

He then told Nicola he was only half joking and would consider the sale.

Not yet, Caleb

Back at their flat, Ruby was shocked to hear Caleb didn’t jump at the fact he could buy the business. But Caleb revealed he wants to wear Will down before he takes it over.

The scheming couple laughed and decided to wait their plan out until they were certain they could get their own way.

Surprisingly, Caleb showed emotion and suggested he felt guilty about playing Jimmy. He is, after all, a good person…

Safe to say, Ruby quickly changed his mind.
