But what will he want to talk about? Has he discovered the truth about Tracy stealing money?

Steph is going to the police – so will Caleb and Ruby ‘get what’s coming’ in Emmerdale?

Steph Miligan is like a dog with a bone in Emmerdale at the moment as she refuses to believe any explanation over her grandad’s whereabouts. Tonight (Wednesday March 12) she decided to go to the police to get them to investigate her mum and dad.

So, is it all over for the Anthony murder club?

Steph wanted answers and still didn’t get honest ones (Credit: ITV)

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Steph vowed to report her parents

Let’s back up a bit. Steph has been leading a one-woman search party for her grandad, Anthony Fox, since he went missing earlier this year. Viewers know Anthony is dead and buried in the woods. Caleb, Ruby, Aaron, John, Cain, Chas and Moira also know this. But Steph doesn’t and she suspects they all know more than they’re letting on.

To be fair, she’s right, so it’s no wonder she’s not giving up. And after she discovered Caleb’s gun last night (Tuesday March 11) she was sure it had something to do with Anthony’s disappearance (talk about putting two and two together).

Caleb insisted it was to kill Cain with. Steph confirmed the story with her uncle, and fortunately Caleb had got to Cain first and he backed it up.

But stubborn Steph STILL didn’t believe them all. She declared to Ross she was going to report her parents to the police so they could: “get what’s coming”.

And what is coming, exactly?

Do Ruby and Caleb get arrested in Emmerdale?

The pressure is certainly on Caleb and Ruby tomorrow night. Ross hotfoots it to the Depot to warn Caleb what Steph is planning. Caleb goes into full crisis mode determined to stop Steph once and for all.

Actress Georgia Jay has revealed Steph will continue to hunt for the truth. “So I think it’s one of those things where she doesn’t know what else to do, or who she can trust. It’s all closing in on her because she’s thinking who’s involved, who’s lying, who’s not, who’s covering up.”

Steph is going to find out the truth very soon – it’s the only way Ruby and Caleb can stay out of prison. And the truth will shatter Steph completely.

Next week, spoilers reveal Steph and Caleb are on edge at work. It suggests Caleb has not been arrested, but does Steph now know the truth?

And there’s more trouble round the corner when Jai thinks they are not pulling their weight at the Depot. A simple mention of Anthony also makes things uneasy and Jai’s got the bit between his teeth now as he resolves to get to the truth.

Will he find out before Steph? Or will Caleb shut him down too?

Has Dylan left Emmerdale for good? We have answers as the popular newcomer leaves for rehab

Newcomer Dylan left Emmerdale for rehab in Wednesday’s episode, but has he left for good?

We first saw Dylan during the special episode documenting April’s time on the Streets after she run away from home.

We’ve seen him again in recent weeks, but with him heading off for treatment and ordering April not to visit him, will we see him again?

Dylan heads to rehab in Emmerdale

Following their time on the streets, April Windsor reconnected with Dylan and invited him to visit her in Emmerdale.

Last week he turned up, much to the annoyance of April’s dad Marlon Dingle, who, along with Rhona and Ross, felt Dylan would be a bad influence on April.

April insisted that she wouldn’t have survived on the streets if it hadn’t been for Dylan, so Marlon reluctantly let him stay in the house.

However, Marlon was determined to get rid of Dylan, so made the stupid mistake of stealing ketamine from the vets and planting it on Dylan.

When no-one believed his innocence, Dylan left. Sadly, the rejection led to him overdosing and he ended up in hospital.

Marlon felt guilty for his involvement and offered to pay for Dylan to go to a private rehab facility. During Wednesday’s episode, Marlon took Dylan to see April one last time.

Dylan told April where he was going but instructed her that he didn’t want her to visit. “This is goodbye,” he told her. But is it?

Has Dylan left Emmerdale for good?

Since arriving in Emmerdale, Dylan, played by Fred Kettle, has become a popular character with fans.

“I really like Dylan. He has this classic Emmerdale character vibes to him. And so much potential,” wrote one fan on X.Â

A second fan said: “Oh My GOD, Can we please please please keep Dylan?” With a third fan adding: “Dylan is really such an interesting original and likeable character.”

A fourth fan wrote: “Dylan should be kept permanently in the village, keep him please.”

Well, it seems fans may get their wish as an Emmerdale spokesperson confirmed to Emmerdale Insider that this is not the last we’ve seen of Dylan.Â

Billy and Dawn’s marriage is in crisis in Emmerdale spoilers

We’ve said it for ages but Billy and Dawn just aren’t right for one another. Their marriage ran out of steam a long time ago and it was little surprise when Dawn embarked on an affair with Joe.

Billy can’t see what’s been going on right under his nose, but maybe because his mind hasn’t totally been focused on his wife. In fact another local lady seems to have caught his eye – village doctor, Manpreet.

There was a flirtation between the pair last year, but since then nothing. But old feelings resurface when Manpreet drops Billy back at Home Farm and they share a charged moment. Will Billy cross the line?

Billy wrestles with his guilt

Afterwards, Billy walks into Home Farm and is met by Dawn. She’s in a foul mood after being rejected by Joe, and he’s guilt-ridden over his encounter with Manpreet.

Billy’s still feeling awkward when he sees Manpreet the next day. And soon his conscience ends up getting the better of him as he drops a bombshell on Dawn. But it isn’t about Manpreet, it’s in relation to another lady.

Billy stuns his wife by admitting he’s been exchanging saucy messages with a woman online. Yikes! We didn’t expect that at all!

Dawn is in distress over Billy’s betrayal in Emmerdale spoilers

The Dawn of old would have shown Billy the door after that kind of a confession, but she choses to forgive her husband’s indiscretion.Â

Billy is shocked and grateful at Dawn being so understanding, but still has no idea she’s been up to much worse with Joe.

Afterwards, Dawn is left in a state of turmoil as she tries to figure out where to go from here. Will Billy’s confession prompt Dawn to admit her own dirty secret?

New fan theory suggests that former character is back and behind Manpreet blackmail just months after exit

A new Emmerdale fan theory has ‘worked out’ who is behind the Manpreet blackmail messages – and it’s a familiar face.

Manpreet’s been receiving some alarming texts recently, admitting to Ella that someone is threatening to expose her ‘dirty’ secret.

But, could the person responsible be a former Emmerdale resident? A new theory suggests so.

Emmerdale: Manpreet’s blackmail ordeal

A flashback to the day of the limo crash recently revealed that Leyla had walked in on Manpreet and found out her huge secret. ‘It’s always the quiet ones…’

After Leyla’s death, Manpreet started receiving blackmail messages threatening to expose her secret. Yes, another soap mystery, surprise, surprise.

Manpreet then confided in Ella that she’d started posting explicit photos of herself online. It helped her feel some level of confidence after her break-up with Charles. We’re not sure Ella’s the best person to trust with a secret like this…

Manpreet feared that if it got out, her whole medical license could be stripped from her (no pun intended.) Hindsight is a wonderful thing, Manpreet.

Now, the blackmailer has downloaded all of Manpreet’s photos despite her deactivating her online profile. If she goes to the police, her secret will get out. Ouch.

Theory: Wendy blackmailing Manpreet?

In January, Wendy Posner left the village with her head hung low, following the huge betrayal of Ella Forster.

She’d dobbed her whole history into the paper for a fee after first betraying Rhona by sharing her information with a journalist and suggesting that April might’ve gone missing due to her past history.

The truth came out, and Wendy left the village after being ushered out by practically everyone. Manpreet and Liam both couldn’t keep Wendy on following the betrayal, asking her to leave.

They’d initially turned a blind eye to the whole ‘fake nurse’ thing, but it became clear that Wendy couldn’t keep her job at the surgery.

Now though, remembering how Wendy loved to spill everyone’s secrets, a new theory suggests that Wendy could be getting revenge for the loss of her job by blackmailing Manpreet, dragging her down with her.

A fan on X suggested: “Manpreet’s blackmailer could be Wendy.”

But, could we soon see the return of Wendy just months after her departure from the soap?

Emmerdale pulls out of Baftas for Belle and Tom storyline following writer domestic abuse conviction

Emmerdale has withdrawn its entry from this year’s Baftas following the news that a former writer pleaded guilty to the assault of his girlfriend.

Martin Fustes pleaded guilty to the assault of his partner, causing actual bodily harm, and an offence of intentional suffocation.

The soap would have been a frontrunner in the Best Soap and Continuing Drama category at the ceremony, which is due to take place in May. But following the court case has decided to pull out.

Emmerdale writer prosecuted

Hull Crown Court heard that writer Martin Fustes made violent threats toward his partner. He behaved in an “angry and aggressive way”. The woman in question was afraid that she was “going to die”.

Fustes was given a two-year suspended prison sentence. He also has to do 150 hoursâ€™ unpaid work, 15 daysâ€™ rehabilitation and a 26-session probation service domestic abuse programme. He was ordered to pay Â£2,000 compensation and Â£150 costs. A 10-year restraining order was also given.

A spokesperson for Emmerdale said: “We were shocked and appalled to learn about the recent court case involving Emmerdale writer, Martin Fustes.

â€œMr Fustes is a freelance writer. He has been informed that he will no longer be writing for Emmerdale. Everyone at ITV and Emmerdale abhors domestic abuse, which is why we have been highlighting the issue in a major storyline over the last 12 months.

“The Emmerdale production team were not aware of these charges against Mr Fustes until we were alerted over the weekend.”

Emmerdale pulls out of BAFTAs

One of Emmerdale’s major storylines over the last year has been Belle Dingle‘s abuse at the hands of Tom King. The soap therefore felt it would be inappropriate to win any award on the back of the latest news.

The Bafta team wrote to members of Bafta and told them: “ITV and Emmerdale have taken the decision to withdraw from the soap category from this year’s awards. This is in consideration of recent news involving a member of the scriptwriting team.”

They also confirmed that anyone who has already cast a vote for Emmerdale will be able to recast their vote.

An Emmerdale spokesperson added: “ITV and Emmerdale have taken the decision to withdraw the episode nominations from this year’s BAFTA TV Awards.

“This is in considerationÂ of developments in recent days involving a member of the scriptwriting team.”

Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm, with an early release on ITVX at 7am.

Classic Emmerdale usually airs every weekday on ITV3 at 6am and 6.30am, plus 1.40pm and 2.10pm.

Gailâ€™s exit storyline â€˜sealedâ€™ as she spills Mary’s Suzy secret? A new theory

With reports of Gail Loman’s exit on the cards in Emmerdale, a new theory has ‘worked out’ how she will leave – and it’s linked to Mary.

Last night (Tuesday March 11), Mary trusted gossipy Gail (a literal barmaid who strikes up conversation with anyone and everyone) with her big secret.

But, could this secret actually play a huge part in Gail’s exit storyline? We think so!

Mary told Gail everything (Credit: ITV)

Mary told Gail about her kiss with Suzy

On the day of the limo crash, viewers will know that Leyla actually caught Mary and Suzy kissing. The women had finally confessed their feelings for each other after a good year of dancing around them.

Suzy was even ready to throw away her relationship with Vanessa to be with Mary. But, of course, the limo crash meant that they never did get their happy ever after.

Since Suzy’s death in the limo, Mary has been trying to be a supportive friend to Vanessa (some may say out of guilt).

But, last night, Mary felt as though she just had to tell someone about her kiss with Suzy. And with the only other person who knew, Leyla, now dead… Mary selected Gail to share her secret. Wow, what an honour!

Gail was stunned as Mary admitted that they’d kissed on the day of Suzy’s death… But, before she could elaborate any further, Vanessa walked in asking Mary to sign a tribute for her late partner. Talk about awkward.

Gail is reportedly leaving the soap (Credit: ITV)

Theory: Gail’s exit storyline linked to Mary secret?

Reports suggest that Gail Loman is soon to be leaving the soap. It’s unclear how she will depart but last night’s scenes have now sparked a new theory from us.

With Gail now knowing Mary’s secret, it can’t be long before it slips out of her mouth. We just know that Gail struggles to keep anything to herself.

With Vanessa finding out the truth, Gail might feel as though she’s broken everyone’s trust and decide to leave the village.

Or, perhaps, in a sinister twist, Mary might realise that her secret isn’t safe with Gail and attempt to keep her quiet. But in the process, Gail could accidentally get brutally injured…

Considering that Gail doesn’t appear very often, we reckon that last night’s scenes were important in some way. But, could this all be paving the way for her exit?

Caleb flatlining in the flashforward is â€˜down to Stephâ€™, new theory suggests

Earlier this year, Emmerdale shared a flashforward scene, which showed Caleb Miligan flatlining on an operating table. Fans now believe Steph will be at fault for this.

Caleb and Steph’s relationship is tempestuous at the moment as she believes he is at least partly responsible for her grandfather’s disappearance.

Now a new fan theory has suggested that Steph will be responsible for Caleb ending up in hospital.

Steph believes her dad is a murderer

Earlier this year, Anthony Fox disappeared from the village. He was killed by his daughter Ruby, with several villagers, including Caleb, being in on the cover-up.

However, Steph is unaware of the truth. But she doesn’t believe her grandfather would just leave without even sending a message so has been doing some digging.

In scenes this week, Steph found a gun in her parents’ safe. Wednesday’s episode sees her confront them over it and question whether it was used on Anthony.

Steph later outlines her plan to shop Ruby and Caleb to the police for their involvement in Anthony’s disappearance, believing they deserve to be punished if they have committed a crime.

Fan theory says Steph is to blame for Caleb being in hospital

At the start of the year, Emmerdale released five flashforward scenes, showing what is coming up this year in Emmerdale.

While some have already played out on screen, there are a couple we’ve yet to see. One showed Caleb flatlining on an operating table, while another showed Cain crying at someoneâ€™s graveside.

A new fan theory has suggested that Caleb being in hospital could be down to Steph â€“ perhaps as revenge for Anthony.

“What if Steph is the one who shoots Caleb and puts him in hospital, if he takes the bullet for Ruby?” the fan wrote on X.

Another fan replied, writing: “Yeah we saw in the flashforward that Caleb is in a hospital bed so it looks like he’ll be accidently shot by Steph. I didn’t know untill tonight that Caleb had a safe in the first place.”

A third fan had the same idea and wrote: “Steph to shoot Caleb?” While a fourth fan theorised: “Stephanie has found a gun in her dad’s safe. Does anybody remember at the beginning of the year with the flashforward scenes of Caleb is on life support and he dies?”

Steph to go down for Anthonyâ€™s murder after gun move? This fan theory thinks so

In last night’s episode of Emmerdale (March 11) Steph found Caleb’s gun during her search for Anthony. And now fans fear that one discovery could result in a bad outcome for Steph.

Ever since Anthony disappeared, Steph has been on the hunt for him. And she doesn’t seem to be put off by anything. Every scene she is in seems to be connected to her looking for Anthony. But so far this week, she has gotten extremely close to the truth.

Despite how adamant Steph is to find him, Caleb and Ruby are keen to keep the truth a secret. However, last night Steph found the gun Caleb was going to kill him with. So how will they get out of that one? Well, a new fan theory predicts that Steph just put herself right in the frame.

Steph refuses to give up on the truth (Credit: ITV)

What happened to Anthony?

Viewers know that Anthony was murdered by his daughter Ruby, after he sexually assaulted her when she was young.

But she isn’t the only one involved in the murder cover-up. Aaron initially believed he was the one who took the final punch on Anthony, and so John covered it up. Then Caleb was preparing to cover-up for Ruby. On top of that now Cain, Chas and Moira are all in on it. So if the truth comes out, a lot of people will be facing the consequences.

It was only recently that John even told them all where Anthony’s body is (if you believe him). And Ruby has been taking trips out there quite a lot. So much so that Steph even followed her one day.

Despite being told by Ross that she should quit looking, Steph remained determined. And it paid off for her as she entered the correct code for the safe and found the gun.

Steph discovered a gun in the safe (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale Steph in the frame for the murder?

But fans believe her lifting the gun out without any gloves may actually result in her becoming the number one suspect in the case.

One fan took to X to propose the theory. They wrote: “Steph will now be in the frame for murder now that she has picked up the gun. Stupid woman.”

While it would be unlikely she would go down for murder if no body is found. And if they find Anthony they should be able to determine he wasn’t shot to death.

However, if she brings the gun straight to the police, her finger prints are all over it. So while they have nothing else to go on, Steph may just make herself look very guilty.

She may argue that she is the one who has been looking for him, and constantly going to the police to report him missing. But perhaps it could be thrown back that all along she was the one who murdered him.

Perhaps she should make the decision to not go to the police about her parents after all…

Emmerdale viewers â€˜work outâ€™ who is targeting Manpreet after new â€˜cluesâ€™

Someone in Emmerdale has been targeting Manpreet over the images she has been using online, and the only person she has turned to is Ella.

And after the last few episodes, viewers are convinced they have worked out exactly who is behind the messages. But, it’s bad news for Manpreet.

It seems many suspect that her close pal Ella isn’t being as friendly as Manpreet may think. Right now, she is viewers’ main suspect in the blackmailing case. And they have the evidence to back it up.

Viewers are suspicious of Ella (Credit: ITV)

Is Ella blackmailing Manpreet in Emmerdale?

Ever since she came to the village fans have wanted more from Ella. When we heard about her past as a murderer, viewers thought the show was going to go down the route of psycho Ella.

Then when Liam got with Chas, many suspected that may bring out her crazy side. But again, it didn’t.

Months then passed, and nothing ever came from it. So perhaps all that time Ella was actually just sitting waiting for her perfect opportunity.

Taking to X, a fan proposed the idea that Ella is the one behind the whole thing – to get revenge on Liam.

They wrote: “I think Manpreet’s blackmailer is Ella. I know she would be the obvious choice, but she is leaving. And I think it’s because she is still hurt over Liam and Chas. So, she ultimately wants to destroy the practice so he suffers.”

Other than Ella being the one Manpreet chose to open up to, she also is conveniently always around. And so, she has the perfect opportunities.

Another penned on X: “I still think it’s Ella blackmailing Manpreet. Who else could it be?”

A third user commented: “Ella definitely has something to do with this blackmailing. She is always the one finding things.”

Ella will be leaving the village soon (Credit: ITV)

What would this mean for Ella?

If it comes out that she is the blackmailer, then she can kiss goodbye to her job at the surgery. And without her job, she doesn’t have any other involvement in the village.

A while back it was reported that Paula Lane was leaving the role of Ella after one year.

The news first came after Paula put on her own Talent Spotlight page that she would finish filming Emmerdale in February.

So, if that timeline has stayed correct, that would mean we’re very close to Ella’s exit – even though some already thought she had left with her lack of appearances.

The theory of Ella being the blackmailer seems to be strong, especially as it provides her an exit storyline. But whether or not it is true, viewers have to just wait and see.
