    Martin Crowe in Emmerdale: Local police officer, doting dad and Louise heartbreak

    Martin Crowe was introduced as a policer officer in Classic Emmerdale, but his story really began when he set eyes on Louise Appleton. Having fallen head over heels, Martin was besotted with Louise.

    However, Martin’s full focus was on his beloved daughter Kayleigh, as well as his demanding job in the police force. He remained in the village for just over two years.

    So, what was Martin Crowe‘s story in Emmerdale?

    Martin Crowe is introduced in Emmerdale

    Martin first appeared in Emmerdale back in May 2004.

    He was introduced as the investigating officer when Jack Sugden was accidentally shot by his adoptive son Andy. Martin then investigated Scott Windsor and Syd Woolfe’s beating of rapist Frank Bernard Harbourne in October 2004.

    Meeting Louise Appleton

    Martin’s story really began when he met Louise Appleton in 2005. The duo came across one another at a karate class, which Louise had attended with pal Diane’s young daughter Victoria.

    There was an undeniable spark between Louise and Martin from the get-go, but it took a while for anything romantic to happen between the duo. Eventually, they started a relationship and Martin moved into The Woolpack with Kayleigh to live with Louise.

    Martin’s daughter Kayleigh

    Martin was a devoted father to daughter Kayleigh, who he had been granted full custody of after splitting from his ex-wife. While Kayleigh was fond of Louise, she struggled to bond with the youngster.

    Louise regularly frustrated Martin with her lack of parenting skills, especially when Kayleigh began rebelling as a teenager. Martin was tough on his daughter, but Louise let her get away with anything, leaving them living in conflict.

    Heartbreak and exit

    When Martin learned Sam Dingle had helped his wife Alice die due to her terminal cancer battle, he vowed to arrest Sam. Louise supported Martin, which caused friction between her and Diane.

    During an argument, Diane mentioned Louise’s ex Ray Mullan, who Louise accidentally killed. As Martin overheard, Louise had to confess all to him.

    He promised not to report Louise but insisted they could no longer be in a relationship. Martin then moved out of The Woolpack with Kayleigh and exited the village for good in 2006.

  • 7 times Emmerdale let us believe a character was dead – from Kim Tate to Ross Barton, it’s happened a lot!

    7 times Emmerdale let us believe a character was dead – from Kim Tate to Ross Barton, it’s happened a lot!

    Emmerdale is leading us to believe Rose Jackson is dead. The last we saw of her, she was stranded on the side of the road after Kim Tate and Will Taylor had discovered her plot to split them up.

    Kim and Will told her to leave and never come back. They made her leave a message for Dawn saying she was going and then  left her in the middle of nowhere. Rose sobbed over a picture drawn by her grandkids at the side of the road, but then looked relieved when a car – bearing the Home Farm logo – drove by and stopped for her.

    Was it friend or foe, however?

    It seems like the latter as the next we saw, Rose’s belongings were strew by the side of the road and Rose was nowhere to be seen. Kim and Will simultaneously returned home looking pretty shifty and no one knows what has happened to Rose.

    Emmerdale definitely want us to think she’s dead – and that either Kim or Will have killed her. But could there be a twist in the tale? Is she actually still alive and hiding out somewhere or being held captive? It wouldn’t be the first time Emmerdale has faked a death…

    1 & 2. Kim Tate in Emmerdale faked being dead – twice

    Rose need look no further than her nemesis Kim Tate for tips on faking your death – she’s done it twice!

    In February 1997, Kim went missing from the village. A few days later, a woman was found dead at the wheel of her car after plunging into a quarry. Frank identified the body as Kim.

    However, it wasn’t her! In May Kim waltzed back into Home Farm and told Frank she’d paid a prostitute to drive around the village pretending to be her, when actually Kim was sunning herself in the Caribbean. The body belonged to that woman, not Kim. The prostitute hadn’t been supposed to die, but she got stuck in the car and ended up making Kim’s fake death look even more authentic.

    The shock caused Frank, who had been on remand for Kim’s murder, to have a heart attack. Kim stood by and watched him die before uttering the immortal line: “You’re a dinosaur, Frank, and you know what happened to them.” She then checked he was dead with her compact mirror before redoing her make-up. Brutal.

    Then in June 2021, Kim reused her infamous plan to catch out son, Jamie Tate. He’d been drugging her and she wanted to expose him.

    She hired actors to play the parts of the police, doctor and undertakers and even her then-lover Will Taylor was in on the act. Jamie was completely bewildered and upset – but even more so when he realised it had all been a plot against him!

    3. Jamie Tate

    So Jamie then decided to play his mother at her own game. After his poisoning attempts, Kim disowned and disinherited him. Then-girlfriend Dawn then ended it because he Jamie had tried to frame her dad, Will, for targeting Kim.

    With nothing left and determined to get his hands on Kim’s money, Jamie offered to elope with Gabby so their baby (she was pregnant after a one-night stand) would get the money and therefore so would Jamie.

    However, Jamie soon decided he couldn’t bear to be married to Gabby and asked Dawn to run away with him instead. She turned him down, so Jamie decided to flee to escape Gabby and Kim.

    As he sped out of town, he drove off a cliff edge into a lake. The car was dredged up, but there was no sign of his body. Kim was sure he had faked his own death, but viewers had no idea whether he was actually gone or not.

    When his ex, Andrea, died months later, Kim organised a memorial hoping Jamie would come. He didn’t and that seemed to seal he was dead.

    But he wasn’t!

    Instead he was hiding out with Andrea’s mum, Hazel.

    4. Joe Tate also not dead in Emmerdale

    It seems no one in the Tate family has an original idea because Joe Tate, Kim’s step-grandson also pulled off the trick.

    When Kim got out of prison, she ordered Joe dead and her henchman, Graham, urged Joe to flee. It meant Joe not turning up to marry Debbie Dingle, which sent her dad, Cain, into a fury. He punched Joe who fell and hit his head on a rock.

    Graham stepped in and said he would dispose of the body. But when he put Joe in the boot of the car, his hand twitched. Graham was loyal to Joe and was later seen sobbing at the wheel of his car before telling Kim the job was done.

    It was presumed Joe was dead, but viewers weren’t so sure. And it turned out they were right when five months later it was revealed Joe had escaped abroad and was living off money from Kim’s businesses.

    5. Ross Barton

    In 2015, Ross Barton was having an affair with his brother Pete’s fiancée Debbie Dingle. After a helicopter crashed on their wedding day, Debbie was taken to hospital where Pete confronted Ross.

    They fought in the hospital grounds and Pete charged at Ross, who hit his head on a stone wall. Pete continued to beat him until he realised his brother was dead. Desperate Pete drove Ross’ body to the woods and buried it in a ditch covered with leaves.

    Viewers believed Ross was a goner, however, when Pete went back to get him with dad James three weeks later, they were stunned Ross was no longer there. In fact, he was in a coma in a hospital who thought his name was Stephen! Ross returned to the village shortly after and tried all he could to exact revenge on Pete.

    6. Rebecca White

    Rebecca and her nephew Lachlan were the only survivors of a crash that killed their family. She spent a month in a coma following the accident and was left with a brain injury. As she started to remember what had really happened – that Lachlan had been responsible for the deaths of his mother and grandfather – Lachlan knew he needed to silence her.

    When Rebecca came across Robert Sugden and Liv Flaherty unconscious, Lachlan stopped her calling an ambulance. He was later seen in the woods clutching a bloody wrench. It was believed he had killed Rebecca.

    However, just a few days later we discovered Rebecca was alive and being held hostage in a wooden chalet. She then confronted Lachlan and tried to escape and he strangled her. Once again we thought she was dead, but she was actually locked up in a psychiatric hospital, being kept captive by retired nurse Mrs Sykes, who Lachlan had hired.

    7. Sadie King

    Sadie King was ruthless and vengeful and she proved to be just that when she enlisted Cain Dingle to shoot her. Out for revenge on the King family, who had left her with nothing, Sadie wanted what she believed was rightfully hers.

    Cain kidnapped her and Tom and shot Sadie, seemingly killing her. But actually she was still alive and it had all been staged. She then left the village after Cain double-crossed her too.

  • 4 theories on what has happened to Rose: Kim, Will, Ruby and Dawn in the frame over her disappearance

    4 theories on what has happened to Rose: Kim, Will, Ruby and Dawn in the frame over her disappearance

    Rose Jackson is no longer at Home Farm and, it seems, no longer in Emmerdale. But no one seems to know where she is – or do they? Suspicions are mounting over what has happened to missing Rose and whether she is alive or dead.

    Rose was last seen sobbing at the side of the road, when a mystery vehicle pulled up beside her. The same scene was later shown with Rose’s belongings strewn on the side of the road, but no sign of Rose.

    Tonight and into next week Kim and Will are looking shifty as they are both seemingly trying to cover their tracks. But do either of them know something?

    We’ve rounded up the top theories on what could have happened to Rose.

    Emmerdale last night?

    With Kim packed and ready to return to Home Farm and oust Rose, over at the manor house Rose was having another crack at Will. But he was guilt-ridden and wouldn’t give in to her advances.

    Rose then discovered from Ruby that Kim knew everything, so got her side of the story in first, confessing to Will. Kim arrived mid-confrontation and calmly told Rose to pack her bags and leave.

    Will and Kim then threw her in the boot and drove Rose to the middle of nowhere. Will gave her an envelope full of cash and they made her leave a message for Dawn saying she wasn’t coming back.

    With Will and Kim bickering back at home over their marriage crisis, Rose was still on the side of the road crying over a picture the kids had drawn of ‘Granny Rose’. As she fell off the wagon and took a swig from her emergency hip flask, a vehicle pulled up. It appeared to have the Home Farm logo on it, but it wasn’t clear who was driving.

    That was the last we saw of Rose, we next saw Kim and Will return home at the same time. Both had been out separately and both were acting suspiciously. We then saw Rose’s bag at the side of the road, with the items from it strewn around. But no sign of Rose.

    So what has happened to Rose in Emmerdale?

    Tonight, PC Swirling turns up with Rose’s bag and asks about her welfare. Kim and Will spin a pack of lies as they hide their guilt – although which one of them is actually guilty still isn’t clear.

    Next week we still don’t know what has happened to Rose. Both Kim and Will are acting like they know something, but neither is ‘fessing up. Instead they are snapping at each other and it’s clear their marriage is in trouble.

    Dawn wants to hire a private investigator, so Kim sends a text from Rose’s phone telling her to leave her alone. This stops Will in his tracks as he wonders how on earth Kim got hold of Rose’s phone. Is this a clue?

    Top theories on what has happened to Rose in Emmerdale

    As ever, Emmerdale fans are cramming social media with their thoughts on just what has happened to Rose. And these four theories seem to hold the most water.

    1. Kim has killed her

    Kim’s reaction to Rose’s betrayal was a little bit sedated, wasn’t it? Would Kim Tate, the Queen of Revenge, really have left it there? Or is that what we’re supposed to think and actually she went back to finish the job?

    “I bet Kim has killed Rose,” one fan speculated on X. Another agreed: “Ooo has Kim done the right thing and done her in?”

    “Kim killed Rose,” declared an adamant third. A fourth writing on social media said: “Think Kim has gone back and done something to Rose. Then she will turn it into Caleb or Ruby did it.”

    Would Kim Tate ever really get her own hands dirty, though? Surely if it was Kim she’d have paid someone to do it instead?

    2. Will killed her to stop his secret getting out

    Although Rose didn’t reveal what had happened between her and Will, she made a cryptic comment about trust. It was clear she was planning to blow his secret at any time. And given that Will has outright lied to Kim about what happened with Rose, insisting he knocked her back, he needs to cover his tracks…

    “Hot take: Will killed Rose because he knew Kim was right about Rose coming back since he gave her money. He also knew him lying to Kim would come back to bite him on the [backside],” wrote one fan.

    Another pushed the storyline forward: “I think Will went to finish Rose off, didn’t trust her to come back and then we will find out that Evan needs donor and Rose is the only one in the family who can do it… something like that.”

    “I reckon Will!! He was too scared she was gonna spoil his happy home he’s too much to lose,” said a third.

    A fourth agreed: “I think it’s Will, he’s worried she will come back to him for more money or she will tell Kim about the kiss so he did something to shut her up.”

    3. Dawn did something to her mum

    When Dawn came home and revealed she’d had that message from Rose, she didn’t seem as bothered as we thought. She took the spiking news quite calmly and welcomed Kim back to Home Farm really easily. Is that because she knows something about where Rose is? She also was seen driving a Home Farm vehicle earlier in the day…

    “Maybe Dawn drove out to see Rose in the Home Farm Jeep,” queried one.

    Another added: “I think Dawn was travelling home and saw her after hearing the message did something . It’s the fact they showed Dawn in the Home Farm vehicle. Crazy how these soaps get you guessing.”

    “I think Dawn sorted her mother out,” agreed a third.

    4. Ruby was involved in what happened to Rose in Emmerdale

    Although it was a Home Farm vehicle, we actually don’t know whether that was the last one that pulled up. Was it a red herring? Could Ruby have arrived later – or even take one of the cars belonging to the estate to get Rose as part of her plan?

    “I think Ruby attacked/ killed Rose. Remember Rose threw Ruby under the bus and we haven’t seen her all episode,” mused one viewer.

    Someone else said: “I think it was Ruby because Rose knows too much so she abducted her to make it look like Kim had a hand in it.”

    “I think it was Ruby who stopped and picked her up faking all her stuff strewn everywhere to make it look like she had been killed or Ruby has actually killed her because she knows Rose told Kim about their plan,” added another.

    So, just what did happen to Rose in Emmerdale? We’re going to have to keep guessing for a while, we think!
