    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Guilty Aaron almost gave into his demons as he begged John to let him confess

    Emmerdale tonight saw both Aaron and Laurel almost give into their demons as they struggled to cope with Anthony’s demise. They each stopped short of going through with it, but for how much longer can they resist?

    Meanwhile, Amy left Matty blindsided with her baby plans and Kerry tried to help Pollard.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday January 29.

    Aaron almost self harmed in Emmerdale tonight

    John and Aaron let themselves out of the garage and agreed they had never been there. Tell that to Manpreet, lads. Aaron also wasn’t so keen on forgetting all about it, worried about Ruby.

    Back to Manpreet, who was talking to PC Swirling in the cafe. She has been hearing late night noises at the garage. He told her to talk to Cain and if she wanted to report it, she needed to go to Environmental Health not the police. Looks like John and Aaron are in the clear… for now.

    Aaron was drinking in the Hide when Ruby arrived and Aaron decided to buy her a beer. Aaron skirted around the issue, wanting to talk about Anthony and her feelings over him. Ruby immediately shut him down and went to leave, just as John arrived.

    John stopped Aaron saying any more, but Aaron argued he had robbed Ruby of justice. Emotional blackmail was next on John’s list and that made Aaron stop and think. Although Aaron agreed to keep quiet, he stormed off on John, unhappy with how things were panning out.

    So unhappy that, back at home, he was staring at the knives in the kitchen thinking dark thoughts.

    Tearfully he picked one up and brought it to his skin. Catching sight of himself in the knife’s reflection, Aaron stopped before cutting himself, but broke down in tears. How much longer can he keep this bottled up?

    Matty was faced with a big decision

    Matty and Victoria were suspicious of Amy, who was full of the joys of spring and arranging a surprise for Matty. Her surprise was Dale View and she wanted her and Matty to rent it. She then dropped the baby bombshell on him, which left him completely speechless.

    He later went to see his mum, but ended up confiding in Cain instead. Matty felt like Amy was making decisions without him. He was worried his child would suffer because of who he is. Cain advised him he would be a good dad and told him nothing else was important if he wanted children.

    Will Matty rethink?

    Laurel almost relapsed

    Laurel had bought half the supermarket so the kids were stocked up for when she went to prison. She told Nicola she was going to confess to Ruby and Steph – or go to the police.

    Laurel decided the church was her first port of call, where Charles offered to talk, but she decided the church was not the answer after all. What was the answer, she realised, was the booze. Or at least she thought it was, opened the bottle, sniffed it and then poured it all away.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Bob was shaken by the news Heath’s headstone was being erected tomorrow. He confided once again in Manpreet.

    Elsewhere, Kerry was worried about Pollard, and Amy advised she get him doing yoga. Apparently, Val used to do it with him and he loved it. Kerry approached him with yoga mats in the shop, but Eric refused.

  • What exactly is Caleb Miligan International in Emmerdale? New business explained

    What exactly is Caleb Miligan International in Emmerdale? New business explained

    In Emmerdale news, as Caleb Miligan International continues to be at the centre of storylines, here’s an explanation of what exactly the new business is.

    Over the last lot of months, Caleb has been running his new business. And it has become quite a frequent set on the show.

    Despite the company only officially launching on November 15, it is already getting quite a lot of screen time. And has already been the home of a murder.

    But just because it’s on our screens more doesn’t mean fans know what the firm actually is. So here’s a look at what exactly Caleb Miligan International is.

    What is Caleb Miligan International and who works at the business?

    Caleb Miligan International is described as a worldwide logistics business and shipping company that Caleb was very desperate to get set up this year.

    Currently Caleb is the owner of the business, and has final say on all of the decisions (probably why it’s named fully after him.) Steph is another shareholder and Jai thought he was, but Caleb double-crossed him. Jai is now the depot manager.

    Billy and Kerry both also work in the Depot as a packer and a cleaner. And before he died, Will was the firm’s driver.

    While it’s not been open that long, it’s clear that it is doing well. And the team even have customised jackets with the business name on it.

    After Caleb’s war with Kim Tate, he decided he needed to start his own empire right beside hers. And as Kim had just got Longbrook Private Hire burned down – Caleb had the insurance money.

    Emmerdale news: The history of Caleb’s new business

    But, Caleb knew he would need even more funds to set the business up. So when he was contacted by Ruby’s dying mum, he agrees to bring Ruby to see her for £100k. However, Helen died the day he got the money.

    Then in November, Caleb tried to takeover Home James Haulage to help him with the shipping aspect. But Jimmy was adamant he wouldn’t sell.

    Instead, Will Taylor sold Caleb his share, and he began to help him get Jimmy on side. But when Jimmy heard about Caleb’s shipping Depot plan, he knew if he refused to sell, then he got more money too.

    Jimmy wasn’t the only one Caleb tried to trick into helping him progress the firm. He got Jai Sharma to transfer all of his money to an offshore account. Which he then used to fund the Depot.

    When he finally got it opened in November, he informed Jai that he had no financial stake or claim in the business. But after back and forth, Jai joined in a managerial role. However, Steph managed to convince Caleb to make her a partner in the business, and he did so.

    With the shipping Depot giving viewers a whole new set, it looks like it’s going to be sticking around for a while.

  • Opinion: ‘Too much of a good thing’ – Emmerdale needs to limit flashbacks and special episodes before they lose effect

    Opinion: ‘Too much of a good thing’ – Emmerdale needs to limit flashbacks and special episodes before they lose effect

    Emmerdale has recently been airing a fair few special, ‘one-off format’ episodes over the course of the last year.

    We’ve seen episodes focus on Belle and Tom’s abuse storyline as well as flashbacks to Ruby’s abuse at the hands of Anthony.

    With another special episode on the way, as well as flashbacks to Anthony’s death appearing on screen, the soap runs the risk of having too much of a good thing.

    Emmerdale special episodes over the last year

    Over the last year, the soap has aired several special episodes. We’ve seen Belle and Tom’s abuse storyline have a couple of special episodes including a dinner party from Hell and also an hour-long episode which showed the jury decide on Tom’s fate.

    We’ve also had more recent special episodes focus solely on Moira’s brain surgery, and Jacob’s first day on placement in A&E.

    One special episode included several flashbacks to Ruby Fox-Miligan’s 16th birthday. This revealed that her dad Anthony sexually abused her. It was later revealed that he was the biological father of Steph.

    This week, changes to the usual format have also aired as John experiences flashbacks to Anthony’s death. His death was actually teased in flashforwards at the beginning of last week… So much time jumping, right?

    We’ve also (yes there’s more) had five flash forward scenes given to use at the very beginning of the New Year. This teased what’s to come in 2025.

    And there’s also another special episode next week. The truth about what really happened to missing April Windsor is finally revealed. Right, now we can catch a breath.

    Opinion: Special episodes and flashbacks should be used sparingly

    As you can see, there have been a lot of ‘special’ episodes recently. But, we can’t help but feel as though these episodes lose their special meaning if they happen so often.

    ‘Special’ episodes should be used sparingly so that we’re all excited at a rare break to the format rather than thinking ‘not another one…’

    There is no denying that when Emmerdale does do a special episode, it’s executed really well. These episodes give an insight into major events. And, they help shed light on some really important issues and topics.

    But, having so many special episodes or special features (whether that be flashbacks or flashforwards) runs the risk of losing the impact the episodes should have.

    It almost seems like the soap will consist of more special episodes than the usual, daily episodes that make it a soap soon if the pattern keeps continuing.

    Soaps are soaps and not Hollywood movies after all! We’re not saying we want all special aspects to be scrapped… But, they could just be used here and there to really provide that WOW factor.

  • Frank Clayton is remembered in Emmerdale this week – here’s how Amy and Kerry were responsible for his death

    Frank Clayton is remembered in Emmerdale this week – here’s how Amy and Kerry were responsible for his death

    Frank Clayton has already been remembered in Emmerdale this week when Amy Barton awkwardly brought up the death with his daughter Tracy Robinson. Amy and her mum, Kerry were responsible for Frank’s death, but it has gone unpunished.

    Later on in the week, Kerry is set to warn Eric Pollard of the dangers of arson, after she realises he’s planning to torch the shop.

    Kerry manages to coax Pollard into admitting he feels like he’s failed Brenda because he hasn’t repaid the money he owes. Worried about him, Kerry says Brenda will be happy to wait, if it means Pollard doesn’t push himself to the brink.

    Later though she’s shocked to see him with matches and accelerants at the shop and realises he’s planning to torch the place for the insurance money.

    Eric argues that arson is a victimless crime, but Kerry desperately tries to tell him he’s wrong, implying she absolutely knows what she’s talking about.

    Which she absolutely does.

    Remember Frank Clayton in Emmerdale?

    Because remember how Kerry and daughter Amy burned down the factory, killing Tracy and Vanessa’s dad, Frank Clayton?

    You do? We’re glad, because until now, Kerry and Amy seem to have forgotten all about their arson attack. And even more bewilderingly, so have Vanessa and Tracy.

    Anyway. In case you need a reminder, here’s what happened when Frank died.

    Amy was in trouble

    Back in 2019, Amy had not been in the village long after spending years away working in Belfast.

    And it turned out she was in debt to an old friend over in Northern Ireland. Amy had been fleeced by her ex boyfriend and in turn had stolen from her mate Karen to pay off her ex’s debts. When Karen showed up in the village, she threatened to go to the police unless Amy paid her back.

    Kerry Wyatt planned the crime – but the arson was accidental

    When Kerry found out Amy was in trouble, she hatched a plan to burgle the sweet factory and get the cash Amy needed.

    She talked Amy into going along with it and together they stole charity money from the factory safe.

    But it was their attempt at destroying the CCTV footage of their crime that really went wrong. They accidentally started a fire in the factory.

    Frank Clayton in Emmerdale meets a fiery end

    When Frank Clayton realised his daughter Tracy was inside, he raced into the flames to rescue her.

    He managed to get her out safely but he went back in to get the engagement ring he’d bought for Megan Macey, emerging just as there was an explosion.

    Frank was killed, and was blamed for the missing money, too. Hardly anyone in the village went to his funeral.

    The truth about Kerry Wyatt and her arson revealed?

    Vanessa and Tracy found out Kerry and Amy were to blame for their dad’s death. Obviously, they were furious! They went to the guilty pair and there was a confrontation.

    Amy and Kerry tried to stop Tracy leaving to reveal all. But Tracy shoved Kerry and she fell and banged her head.

    Bewilderingly, Amy and Kerry managed to persuade the grieving sisters that Kerry’s bump on her noggin was just as bad as Frank’s fiery death. They agreed that they’d not report Tracy on condition she and Ness stayed quiet, about Kerry Wyatt and her daughter’s arson attack.

    Since then, Kerry, Tracy and Vanessa have all spent time away from the village. Their lives have moved on. The circumstances surrounding Frank’s death have never been revealed.

    Amy and Kerry set to be punished for the death of Frank Clayton in Emmerdale?

    It has always angered fans that Amy and Kerry got away with their crime. They now waltz about the village pretending they are goody two shoes who have never done anything wrong in their lives.

    This week Amy found herself looking after Tracy’s daughter Frankie. And she even offered to babysit her any time Tracy wants. Understandably Tracy found the situation difficult, but Amy once again apologised for her role in Frank’s death. Acknowledging she knows what it’s like to feel desperate, Tracy has all-but forgiven Amy.

    But with Kerry involved with Pollard’s arson plan, will her confession spark off a punishment at last? Will Amy and Kerry finally get the comeuppance they deserve for their crime? Or are the soap gods still waiting on that one?

    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.

  • Is Manpreet the next to die? Emmerdale fans fear John is out to kill her

    Is Manpreet the next to die? Emmerdale fans fear John is out to kill her

    In Emmerdale John Sugden has become increasingly suspicious. And fans fear they know who his next target is.

    When Aaron and John realised that Anthony was dead after Aaron’s brutal beating, John immediately began covering it up for his boyfriend. But some fans think he may have actually had more to do with it than Aaron knows.

    The pair managed to get rid of all of Anthony’s belongings, and conveniently Cain decided to close the garage for a few days. This meant they finally had a secure place to store Anthony’s car while Aaron stripped it apart. But just when they thought nobody would be able to place them there, Manpreet heard them outside.

    John is suspicious

    In a shock ending to last night’s episode (January 28), Manpreet turned her light on and looked outside just after Aaron and John spoke about how they were free of any evidence.

    The couple had ensured no strings were left. Even when John spotted the tooth laying on the ground in the Depot, that managed to get sorted (Thanks to Kerry’s vacuum). So this shock ending has fans wondering if Manpreet actually heard what they spoke about. And they worry for her safety from John if she did.

    Viewers have never trusted John. They are convinced he’s lying about something. We just aren’t completely sure what yet. But with the way he knew how to dispose of a body – it certaintly looked like he had done it before.

    Fans are now convinced that if (or when) John realises Manpreet may have spotted them, she will be his next target.

    Will John kill Manpreet in Emmerdale?

    One wrote on X: “Manpreet is going to put herself in the firing line of psycho John.”

    Another agreed: “Manpreet will be the next one to be bumped off by John.”

    A third reminded everyone that if something does happen to Manpreet, there’s someone who could return and get revenge; Meena.

    They commented: “John if you lay a finger on Manpreet then Meena will come for you.”

    Exactly what Manpreet saw or heard is unknown, but it’s not looking good for her if she gets John or Aaron in trouble. And with fans predicting a romance between her and Bob, could it be over before it begins?

  • Amy to kidnap Frankie, Emmerdale fan theory predicts

    Amy to kidnap Frankie, Emmerdale fan theory predicts

    As Amy in Emmerdale has suddenly decided she wants another child, fans have predicted a sinister twist for her and Frankie.

    In last night’s episode (January 28), Amy opened up to Moira about how she wants another baby. Her decision was made when she spent time babysitting Tracy’s daughter, Frankie.

    Tracy and Amy don’t have the best relationship, ever since Amy was responsible for Tracy’s dad’s death. But last night saw the pair move on as Amy offered to help her with childcare. But viewers couldn’t help but notice just how clingy she was becoming to Frankie.

    Amy in Emmerdale to kidnap Frankie?

    Amy was upset when speaking to Moira, admitting she missed out on all of the childhood things with her son, Kyle.

    When Kyle was born, Amy put him up for adoption. And for quite some years, he wasn’t in her life.

    But since Kyle came back, he seems to spend more time with his dad, Cain, than he does Amy. And she has decided she wants to be a proper mum.

    After she was done looking after Frankie, Amy kept making a point of saying she wants a daughter. And she repeatedly spoke about how much fun it was.

    We know she brings the topic of kids up to Matty, and he doesn’t have the best reaction. So will that spur Amy to make a rash and sinister decision? Fans are now predicting she might kidnap little Frankie.

    Taking to X, one fan wrote: “Amy is giving weird vibes. She’s not going to kidnap Frankie is she?”

    Another penned: “Why is Amy being so creepy over that kid?”

    Amy’s kidnapping history

    It wouldn’t be the first time that Amy has considered kidnapping a child. Years ago, when she decided Kyle’s adoption was a mistake, she tried to take him and go on the run.

    At the time, Amy was refused access to Kyle by his adoptive grandmother Joanie, and so she decided to take the matters into her own hands.

    But Cain managed to persuade her out of it, and she gave Kyle back.

    So could history be set to repeat itself? And when Amy realises Matty isn’t on board, will she take drastic measures to get a daughter?

  • Aaron spirals after Anthony’s death in Emmerdale as fans fear a self-harm relapse

    Aaron spirals after Anthony’s death in Emmerdale as fans fear a self-harm relapse

    Aaron Dingle is spiralling down into self harm again in Emmerdale, after the death of Anthony Fox and his guilt over what happened. Aaron thinks he killed abuser Anthony – though we’re not sure he’s the one to blame – and he’s struggling to cope.

    We’ve seen Aaron return to obsessive exercising and we’ve got an inkling that he could be about to head into a self-harm nightmare.

    And that’s because we’ve seen this before – more than once in fact. Fans have also noticed Aaron’s struggles, with one commenting: “I have a bad feeling that the guilt of thinking that he killed Anthony will make Aaron self–harm again.”

    Another agreed: “Please no self-harm relapse for Aaron! Whatever you do Emmerdale, don’t go down that road. He’s suffered ENOUGH!”

    “Aaron in self–harm mode is heartbreaking,” added one more.

    Here’s the background to Aaron’s history of self-harm.

    Aaron Dingle and the death of Jackson

    Aaron struggled after the death of his boyfriend, Jackson. Jackson had been paralysed in an accident and wanted to end his life, despite the best efforts of his mum Hazel, and Aaron. They tried to convince Jackson that life was worth living, but in the end they couldn’t change his mind.

    Due to Jackson’s injuries, he couldn’t take the drugs to end his life himself. Hazel planned to help her son, but when it came to it, she couldn’t go through with it and so Aaron was the one who gave Jackson the fatal dose.

    After Jackson died, Aaron began hurting himself. He cut his hand on a gravestone, and on a razor. He deliberately banged his head on the wall, among other things.

    Aaron starts to self-harm in Emmerdale after his dad returned

    When Aaron first fell for Robert, it was a tricky time. Robert was engaged to Chrissie White, and their secret romance made things hard for Aaron.

    But things got worse as Aaron served a short stint in prison after being wrongly accused of shooting Robert, and then he found out his mum Chas was dating his dad Gordon again.

    Aaron had been raped by Gordon as a child and couldn’t handle Chas being with him. He started self-harming again, running miles until he was sick, and burning his arm with candles.

    Cain found him hurting himself and offered support, but with such a lot of trauma in his life, Aaron couldn’t stop.

    As he dealt with revealing Gordon’s abuse and his father going on trial, Aaron continued to self-harm.

    Robert’s affair with Rebecca

    Aaron hadn’t quite managed to tackle his self-harming issue, when he found out Robert had fathered a baby with his former sister-in-law, Rebecca. Seb was born in 2017, and Aaron began self-harming again.

    He and Robert split and Aaron moved on briefly with Dr Alex. Though his scars made him self-conscious, Aaron managed to deal with his feelings and tell Alex the truth.

    Though that relationship didn’t last, with the support of his half-sister Liv, Aaron finally managed to stop self-harming.

    Is Aaron returning to self harm in Emmerdale?

    Aaron’s feelings about his dad’s abuse have resurfaced since he found out the truth about what Anthony did to Ruby.

    Ruby’s ordeal has stirred up Aaron’s trauma – as we saw when he attacked Anthony in the depot. And now with the guilt he’s feeling on top of everything else, even though he might not be the killer, it’s all seeming too much for him to cope with.

    Could Aaron start self-harming again? Has he already started down that path? It definitely seems likely – but could new boyfriend John be the one to save him?

    Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm.

  • Georgia Jay has blink and you’ll miss it cameo in top BBC crime drama: ‘Hope she’s not looking for her grandad’

    Georgia Jay has blink and you’ll miss it cameo in top BBC crime drama: ‘Hope she’s not looking for her grandad’

    Steph Miligan, AKA actress Georgia Jay, is rubbing the Emmerdale viewers up the wrong way right now. It’s partly her desperation to find her grandad and partly the awful tone she uses every time she speaks to her poor mum, Ruby.

    But of course, Steph has a huge shock in store. Because we viewers know, though she doesn’t, that her beloved Grandad, Anthony, was an evil abuser who raped his own daughter.

    AND she doesn’t know that Anthony isn’t just her grandad – he’s also her biological dad. Because his sexual abuse of Ruby led to her teenage pregnancy.

    That’s a lot, but it’s not all Steph doesn’t know. She’s also unaware that Anthony is dead.

    It’s all going on!

    Georgia Jay on screen

    Steph is played by Georgia Jay, who joined the soap late last year. She already had experience in television having appeared in award-winning series’ Girl/Haji, and Glow and Darkness alongside telly icon Joan Collins!

    And sharp-eyed viewers will have seen Georgia make a brief appearance in this week’s Silent Witness on BBC One.

    A Silent Witness quickie!

    Georgia played a character called Camilla who appeared right at the very start of Monday’s episode.

    Camilla and her husband arrived at a swanky hotel in Mumbai only to find a member of staff dead in their fancy suite!

    It was the start of a deadly epidemic that was the focus of both dramatic episodes this week.

    And the Emmerdale fans thought it was hilarious that Steph – or Georgia Jay to be exact – was right there in the thick of it!

    “There’s no escaping her,” joked one fan. “Hope she’s not still looking for her grandad.”

     

    Steph’s definitely right at the centre of the drama in Emmerdale even though she doesn’t know exactly why yet. We know secrets are always revealed eventually in soap, so surely it’s only a matter of time before she finds out the truth about her grandad?

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

  • John’s ‘real motive’ for wanting Anthony dead ‘worked out’ by Emmerdale fans who think they had a ‘secret link’

    John’s ‘real motive’ for wanting Anthony dead ‘worked out’ by Emmerdale fans who think they had a ‘secret link’

    As John Sugden continues to look suspicious to Emmerdale fans, many believe they have ‘worked out’ the true reason he may have wanted Anthony dead.

    John jumped into hero mode for Aaron when he found out about Anthony’s death. But he definitely gave the impression that he had covered up a murder before.

    When John first arrived in Emmerdale, fans immediately did not trust him. And now with the growing theories that he actually killed Anthony, fans think they know why.

    Ever since it was revealed that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was younger, and was actually Steph’s dad, fans have wanted the vile man off their screens. And they got their wish.

    Emmerdale aired Anthony’s death last week after Aaron brutally beat him up. But by the time he and John went back to the Depot to check on him, he was dead. However, viewers know there was enough time for someone else to finish the job. And now are just waiting for the twist to be revealed.

    With many suspecting John was the one behind the murder, up until now his motives for wanting Anthony dead have been unclear. But fans believe there was a secret link we never knew about.

    Viewers have theorised that John Sugden isn’t a Sugden at all. But instead is Ruby’s brother. And they believe that he wanted to deal the final blow to his dad.

    Commenting on a Facebook post, one fan wrote: “I think Anthony’s real killer is John? Who turns out to be Ruby’s brother.”

    Another backed it up, adding: “I thought a brother had been mentioned previously?”

    While a third simply wrote: “Love child maybe?”

    The theory not only helps further the Anthony plot, but it also provides fans more knowledge of John. Because let’s face it, there’s something off about him.

    So could John have been protecting his sister from their dad? Or had he also had horrible experiences with Anthony and wanted to get his own revenge?

    And if the theory doesn’t come true, there is still a question mark over John.

    Most fans agree that he isn’t who he says he is. Some believe he is really the mysterious Aidan Moore, who he said died in Afghanistan. But others believe he killed Aidan, and has a murderous side.

    Either way, concern has grown for Aaron as John now has the chance to hold this secret over him.

    There’s a shock in store for the Dingles when the police – including Martin – turn up to arrest Sam for Alice’s murder.

    Appalled at what’s happening, Cain and Zak tell Martin that Sam’s not there. But things get chaotic as the police try to get into the house. Cain shoves Martin away then he and Zak bolt the door and barricade it with furniture. Lisa is horrified.

    Ashley confesses

    Ashley is forced to tell shocked Laurel what’s going on and he admits he feels awful for betraying Sam’s confidence. Laurel sympathises with her troubled husband.

    Later, as the pressure builds at the Dingles’ house, Zak calls a Dingle Court and tells the family that someone is going to have to confess to get Sam off the hook.

    Insisting that baby Samson needs his dad, both Marlon and Zak offer to take the blame. But it’s Cain who eventually steps up and says he’ll go to prison for Alice’s death instead.
