    What happened in Emmerdale Monday March 10: Steph went down in the woods sure of a big surprise, and Marlon framed Dylan in the worst way

    In Emmerdale on Monday March 10, Marlon made a big mistake and his determination to protect daughter April put Dylan’s life in danger.

    Elsewhere, Steph continued to get frustrated with her parents keeping secrets from her. Will she discover the truth about her beloved grandad?

    Read on for a full recap of Emmerdale on Monday, March 10.

    Marlon’s error put Dylan’s life in danger in Emmerdale

    April Windsor continued to protect her friend Dylan against everyone’s judgement. She thought Ross was on her side, but his mask slipped when he referred to Dylan as a ‘junkie.’

    Later, Marlon was with Rhona in the vets when she noticed some Ketamine had gone missing from the cabinet. Realising she forgot to lock the connecting door to the house, suspicion immediately fell on Dylan.

    Outside, Marlon, Rhona and Ross all went in on Dylan, insisting he was quite obviously guilty. Dylan swore it wasn’t him, but inside the house, he emptied all his pockets at their request and pulled out the missing Ketamine.

    Despite the evidence, he insisted he didn’t take it. He made a good point that he’d have taken the whole lot and run if it really had been him. However, despite his protestations, no one believed him – including April.

    Rhona wanted to call the police, but Marlon talked her out of it. He told Dylan he had to leave and never contact April again. After he left, April apologised to her dad, telling him she should have listened.

    Later on, Rhona told Marlon she was surprised that he didn’t want Dylan locked up. However, she added that he might be arrested anyway, as it was her duty to report any theft from the vets.

    Marlon looked scared at this revelation and finally admitted to Rhona that Dylan hadn’t stolen the Ketamine. He had stolen it himself and planted it on Dylan as he was desperate to protect April.

    Marlon then received a call from Ross, telling him that he’d seen Dylan being put in the back of an ambulance. He suspected an overdose as he’d overheard the mention of Dylan carrying spice. Marlon and Rhona immediately went to the hospital where Marlon said it was all his fault. Will Dylan be OK?

    Steph continued to hunt for the truth

    It’s been over a month since Anthony Fox was seen in Emmerdale and granddaughter Steph is still none the wiser about what kind of man he was or where he has gone.

    Last night, she answered the phone to one of Anthony’s friends in France, who said Anthony was supposed to visit but hadn’t turned up. Ruby immediately snatched the phone from Steph and took over the conversation, leaving Steph even more suspicious than before.

    Steph accused her parents of being weird and not caring about Anthony. She then followed Ruby to Anthony’s burial site in the woods – though Steph obviously had no idea that that’s what it was.

    She was looking for something though, and whilst she didn’t stumble upon a Teddy Bears’ Picnic, she did catch her mum looking very suss…

    Later, Caleb caught her searching through his office at the Depot. Back at the house, she told her parents she knew they were hiding something and accused them of gaslighting her.

    She then screamed like an actual child and stormed out the room – not sure you’ll get answers that way, Steph…

    Sarah received some disappointing news in Emmerdale

    Following her positive pregnancy test last week, Charity accompanied her granddaughter Sarah Sugden to the doctors.

    However, after Manpreet performed more tests, she broke the news to Sarah that the test must have been a false positive because she is definitely not pregnant.

    Despite acknowledging that she is probably too young to have a baby anyway, Sarah was also disappointed by the news. Her condition means the chance of getting pregnant is low, so she felt like this was a miracle of sorts.

    Sarah sadly admitted to Manpreet that she might have to accept that she won’t ever have her own baby. “I don’t usually let it get to me,” she said. “It’s just a lot. I just always hoped that I’d have my own little family one day, and I’m just gonna have to accept that maybe I won’t.”

    Suzy’s funeral took place… apparently

    You have to feel for poor Suzy. While the other victims of the limo crash, Leyla and Amy, got a whole episode and on-screen funerals, Suzy’s funeral was not even shown. At least she and Harriet Finch both have something to chat about up in the sky now…

    Last night, we saw Tracy, Vanessa and Mary waiting for a cab to take them to the service. Following the secret revelation that Suzy confessed her love to Mary shortly before her death, Mary understandably looked awkward as Vanessa spoke about her and Suzy’s special relationship.

    A blink of an eye later, the funeral was done and the three women were in the Woolpack. Charity extended her condolences and apologised for causing the crash. Vanessa insisted there was nothing to apologise for, describing it as ‘just a horrible accident.’

    As if to push home that Mary has a secret, Vanessa looked back at Mary as she told Charity that Mary has been ‘incredible’ and ‘a real rock.’ Surely, it’s only a matter of time before Mary and Suzy’s secret comes out?

  • Follow-up: As Steph gets closer to Anthony truth, when will she get answers? Georgia Jay hints it’s soon

    Follow-up: As Steph gets closer to Anthony truth, when will she get answers? Georgia Jay hints it’s soon

    In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, March 10), Steph Miligan continued to hunt for the truth about Anthony and she’s getting closer.

    With her parents acting suspiciously, Steph is sure they are hiding something and is determined to find out what.

    Anthony Fox hasn’t been seen since January, but when will Steph discover just why he disappeared?

    Steph hunts for the truth in Emmerdale

    While several of the villagers are in on the Anthony secret, Steph isn’t one of them.  Back in January, John hid Anthony’s body after believing Aaron had murdered him. It was later revealed that Ruby was the real culprit and had killed her abuser dad.

    Caleb, Cain and Chas also became involved in the deceit, with the group often meeting to discuss how to stay out of trouble.

    Steph still thinks highly of Anthony and is not aware that he is actually her father rather than grandfather. Caleb and Ruby have been shielding Steph from the truth. However, tonight she became more determined than ever to discover what her parents are hiding.

    A friend of Anthony’s from France called the house enquiring after Anthony as he hadn’t arrived for a planned visit. Steph initially took the call, but Ruby quickly snatched the phone from her daughter.

    Steph found this behaviour suspicious and later followed Ruby to Anthony’s burial site – though Steph is obviously unaware that that is what it is.

    Caleb later caught Steph searching his office for evidence of their lies. Back at home she accused her parents of being weird and of hiding something about Anthony. Caleb and Ruby insisted there was no big secret, leafing to Steph accusing them of gaslighting her.

    How long can they hide the truth from their daughter?

    Georgia Jay hints that Steph will discover truth ‘soon’

    Speaking about the phone call that comes through from France regarding Anthony’s whereabouts, actress Georgia Jay said: “Steph’s trying to put a timeline together. Ruby shuts down the conversation really, really quickly. That just gives Steph another bit of scent to go on her way and realise that something is being covered up here.”

    As Steph continues to investigate, she soon comes across Caleb’s gun. “Steph comes straight out with it and confronts Caleb with the revolver. He is straight away very defensive and comes up with some story that it was used as a threat for Cain after he found out about Ruby and Cain together.

    Much to Steph’s dismay, Cain confirms Caleb’s story. But Georgia has said 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.”

    Upcoming scenes will also see Steph want to report her parents to the police. As she continues to dig into Anthony’s disappearance, what will her reaction be when the truth comes out?

    With everything ‘closing in’ on Steph, it seems that Ruby and Caleb might be forced to give Steph answers rather soon to stop her from reporting them…

    Follow-up: Will Dylan die after drug overdose? What his future looks like

    In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, March 10), Marlon Dingle made a grave error that resulted in Dylan being rushed to hospital.

    While Marlon was just trying to look out for his daughter, April, he didn’t consider what the repercussions would be for Dylan.

    Will Dylan pull through?

    Dylan was rushed to hospital after drug overdose

    After meeting on the streets, April Windsor invited Dylan to come stay in Emmerdale last week – much to the frustration of Marlon.

    Marlon, Rhona and Ross have been concerned about the effect Dylan might have on April and have been eager for him to leave the village. In tonight’s Emmerdale, Marlon took matters into his own hands.

    While in the vets, Rhona told Marlon that some Ketamine had gone missing. They immediately suspected Dylan and went to confront him.

    Dylan insisted he’d not taken the drugs, but when the trio forced him to empty his pockets, the missing Ketamine was found. He continued to plead his innocence, but when even April wouldn’t back him up, he grabbed his stuff and left.

    Later on, Marlon admitted to Rhona that it had actually been him who stole the Ketamine in order to set Dylan up and get him out of April’s life. It proved to be a costly mistake.

    Soon after, Ross called Marlon to tell him he’d seen Dylan being out in the back of an ambulance after overdosing on ‘spice.’ Marlon and Rhona rushed to the hospital, where Marlon admitted to feeling guilty for what he’d done to Dylan.

    Will Dylan die in Emmerdale?

    Things looked bleak for Dylan at the end of Monday’s episode, but, thankfully, spoilers for this week reveal that Dylan does wake up.

    Coming up this week, Marlon struggles with his guilt and wants to tell April the truth about the Ketamine. Rhona implores him not to. However, when Dylan wakes, Marlon does confess the truth to him.

    Marlon explains to Dylan that he regrets his actions and only had his concern for April on his mind. Marlon also offers to pay for Dylan to go to rehab.

    Dylan then surprises Marlon by telling him not to upset April by telling her the truth. But later on he asks Marlon if he can see April before going to rehab as he wants to tell her something. Has he had a change of heart about keeping Marlon’s secret, and will he get the help he needs?

  • Ross Barton and his time in Emmerdale: Affair with Debbie, acid attack, painkiller addiction and return to the soap

    Ross Barton and his time in Emmerdale: Affair with Debbie, acid attack, painkiller addiction and return to the soap

    Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, March 10) saw Ross Barton open up to April about his former addiction to painkillers. This came as April remained desperate to help Dylan, who is battling an addiction of his own.

    April is determined to be there for her pal, but Ross knows firsthand the powerful hold addiction can have. He issued April a warning, speaking about his own struggle with painkillers following his 2018 acid attack.

    This is the first time Ross has brought up his own painful history since actor Michael Parr reclaimed the role last year. Since returning, he’s found himself at the heart of the action – for better and worse for everyone else involved.

    But what’s the full story with Ross and his painkiller addiction?

    When did Ross Barton join Emmerdale?

    Ross first joined Emmerdale in 2013, attempting to steal Laurel’s car. Laurel managed to escape, but Ross drove off in her car. She then tracked him down and tried to attack him with a pair of scissors.

    It was later revealed that Ross was the son of James and Emma Barton, making him the nephew of Moira Dingle.

    Despite this shaky start, his complex-but-charismatic nature meant that Ross became a fan favourite with viewers. And no cheating or dognapping was going to change that.

    Biggest storylines

    Ross was part of many a memorable storyline during his five years in the village.

    He teamed up with Charity for a dodgy dognapping plot and became involved in many dangerous schemes including one to kill his own brother, Pete. He was also a drug dealer and carjacker in his time.

    Affair with Debbie

    Ross’s affair with Debbie, who was engaged to his brother, was big news in 2015 when the truth came out at the wedding, right before a helicopter was knocked out of the sky and came crashing into the venue.

    Pete beat Ross to what he thought was death. He then drove his brother’s body into the woods and buried him. But Ross was actually alive and was later seen to be waking from a coma in hospital.

    Love for Donna

    Actor Michael Parr really came into his own and won over the viewers with the more heart-wrenching storylines.

    He was in a relationship with Donna Windsor, and was heartbroken over her terminal lung cancer diagnosis. Knowing she was dying anyway, Donna ended up throwing herself off a building as she fought to bring a gangster to justice. Ross was utterly distraught and only his relationship with Donna’s daughter April saved him from complete despair.

    Acid attack

    The most hard-hitting story saw Ross suffer from depression after becoming a victim of an acid attack. The assault itself had been arranged by his former lover Debbie Dingle, who had meant for another of her exes, Joe Tate, to be the target.

    Ross was left with permanent scars on his face and Michael and Emmerdale received huge praise for the storyline.

    Ross Barton’s painkiller addiction on Emmerdale

    Following the attack, Ross developed an addiction to painkillers. Struggling to cope with the pain of the initial attack and an infection in the weeks following, Ross was in denial about his increasing reliance on the pills – and lied to Rhona that he’d sought help.

    This came to a head when Liam refused to give him any more drugs. He hit an all-new low when he lashed out at Rhona, pushing her to the ground and leaving her terrified for her safety. Realising how bad things had gotten, he immediately apologised and sought help for the problem.

    How many children does Ross have?

    Ross shares one child with Charity – Moses Dingle, who was born of their one-night stand in 2015. When he left the soap in 2018, Ross did so with Rebecca White and her son, Sebastian.

    However, tragedy struck in Ross and Rebecca’s time away – she died during a routine surgery, and Seb went off to live with a mystery aunt.

    Why did Ross return to Emmerdale?

    Prior to his return, Emmerdale teased: “With old wounds still to heal, his presence in the village is likely to stir up feelings and ignite some new rivalries.”

    The soap soon made good on its promise, with Ross arriving amid an explosive bare-knuckle boxing storyline for Billy. Getting in deep with gangster and boxing promoter Jade, Ross found himself in hot water.

    This led to the kidnap of April, and a rescue attempt by Ross. This, in turn, led to her learning the truth about mum Donna’s death. When April went missing, Ross pitched in helping Marlon with the search, and was relieved when she eventually turned up (relatively) safe and (relatively) sound.

    But can he and the other villagers ever learn to trust Dylan?

  • Rhona Goskirk in Emmerdale: Vet, former addict and domestic violence survivor

    Rhona Goskirk in Emmerdale: Vet, former addict and domestic violence survivor

    Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, March 10) saw Rhona Goskirk face the ghosts of her own past as Dylan became talk of the town amid speculation ran rife about his drug addiction. Rhona is no stranger to addiction herself – battling her own painkiller addiction in 2010.

    The episode also saw mention to Rhona’s more recent strife, as Marlon brought up her custody battle with Gus over baby Ivy. All ancient history, but these disparate threads from Rhona’s life are never far from the surface.

    But what happened with Rhona’s own addiction to painkillers? And how did her war with Gus come to an end?

    Who is Rhona Goskirk in Emmerdale?

    She’s a proud mum, wife and best friend of fellow vet Vanessa Woodfield. Rhona is the daughter of Mary Goskirk and the late Barry Goskirk.
    She works as a Veterinary surgeon at Emmerdale Veterinary Surgery.

    Rhona is married to Marlon Dingle and is the ex-wife of Gus Malcolms, Paddy Kirk and Pierce Harris.

    She has two children – her son Leo Goskirk, and baby daughter Ivy Malcolms. Rhona is also stepmum to Marlon’s daughter, April Windsor.

    The character has overcome huge battles in her life, including an addiction to painkillers and nursing her husband Marlon back to health after he suffered a stroke.

    Rhona is a survivor of domestic abuse, which she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband, Pierce.

    Her world was further rocked in late 2023 when she discovered her former husband Gus Malcolms and his wife Lucy had used her frozen embryos without consent to conceive a child.

    When did Rhona Goskirk join Emmerdale?

    Rhona was introduced by Emmerdale series producer Steve Frost and made her debut on September 17 2001. She was initially brought in as a recurring character for the first couple of years before being reintroduced full-time in March 2010.

    Rhona first appeared as a locum vet, who was covering for Zoe Tate when she was on holiday. She began a romance with local chef Marlon Dingle, but the relationship fizzled out and Rhona left the village.

    Returning in June 2002 to cover for Zoe again, Rhona rekindled things with Marlon. It wasn’t a case of second time lucky though, and Rhona left again only six months later.

    The arrival of Leo

    Rhona returned to the village in 2010. It turned out during her eight year absence, Rhona married a man called Gus Malcolms, but their union had ended in divorce.

    She began a relationship with fellow vet Paddy Kirk, but found out she was expecting on/off boyfriend Marlon Dingle’s baby. During her pregnancy, Rhona’s unborn baby was diagnosed with Down’s Syndrome. In May 2011 Rhona gave birth to a baby boy, who she named Leo.

    Four years later Rhona became broody for another baby. She and Paddy looked into adoption, but things fell apart when Rhona discovered Paddy had been playing away with Leo’s teacher, Tess Harris.

    Unable to get over his betrayal, the couple called it quits.

    Rhona’s abusive marriage to Pierce Harris

    Tragedy struck when Tess was run over by Kirin Kotecha and subsequently died. Tess’s widower, Pierce Harris came to the village searching for answers about his wife’s death and discovered the truth about Tess’s affair with Paddy.

    Pierce then turned his attentions to Rhona and the scorned duo embarked on an affair. He quickly moved in with Rhona, but his controlling nature soon became evident when he set about reorganising everything to his exacting tastes.

    Pierce was also consumed with jealous paranoia over Rhona’s history with Paddy, which made memories from his own traumatic past resurface.

    After Rhona agreed to become Pierce’s wife in February 2017 his possessive behaviour ramped up another gear and he coerced his fiancée into making a sex tape.

    The couple married on April 24 2017, but what should have been a happy day ended in unimaginable horror when Pierce violently raped his new bride.

    Rhona went to the police and they arrested Pierce. He stood trial in the July of that year and Rhona bravely attended court to give evidence against him. The jury found Pierce guilty and he was sentenced to five years in prison.

    Sadly though, this wasn’t the end of Rhona’s nightmare…

    The return of Pierce

    In December 2019, Rhona discovered that Pierce was up for parole. The following month he made a dramatic return to the village and murdered Rhona’s then-boyfriend Graham Foster, who she was planning to move to France with.

    Pierce framed Marlon Dingle for murder and started stalking Rhona from afar. Events came to a climax when Rhona came to Vanessa’s rescue after Pierce held her and young son Johnny hostage. Rhona live-streamed the situation to everyone in the Woolpack and Pierce was arrested.

    He was sentenced to life imprisonment for his crimes and Rhona was finally free of him. He died of cancer in 2022.

    Rhona Goskirk battled painkiller addiction in Emmerdale

    In 2010, Rhona was prescribed medication to help with a back injury. This led to a crippling painkiller addiction which put her career – and life – at risk.

    As a result of the dangerous habit, Rhona’s personality drastically changed. She risked her career by stealing pills from the surgery’s medicine cabinet in an attempt to get her fix.

    Loyal pal Vanessa tried to help by getting Rhona to ration the supplies – but the situation only got messier when Vanessa confessed she’d fallen for Rhona.

    After getting caught up with a dodgy dealer called Gary, Rhona’s wake-up call came as she collapsed and was rushed to hospital. The doctors informed Rhona her kidneys were on the verge of collapse.

    Helping Ross with his painkiller addiction

    The frightening news and threat of losing Leo prompted Rhona to go to rehab and get clean. Years later, she was able to support Ross Barton, who had become addicted to painkillers himself, and was spiralling out of control.

    Recognising the signs, she encouraged Ross to get help and clean up.

    Rhona’s other love interests

    Rhona is married to chef Marlon, but her love life has certainly had its ups and downs.

    After the trauma of her split with Paddy and ordeal at the hands of Peirce, Rhona fell for farmhand Peter Barton.

    The couple got engaged in 2019, but the relationship faltered after Rhona was injured in a farming accident. She had to undergo a hysterectomy and was and told she’d never be able to have more children.

    Rhona and Pete finally finished after she shared a kiss with Nate Robinson.

    Marriage to Marlon

    Rhona and Marlon reunited for the fourth time in 2021. They at first just enjoyed spending family time together, but that grew into something more and they decided to give things another go.

    Both planned to propose to the other, but various mishaps meant it didn’t happen. Rhona eventually planned a surprise party for Marlon’s birthday and decided to pop the question there. Marlon got down on his knee at the same time and the couple got engaged.

    However tragedy struck when Marlon went home to get the ring and had a stroke. He was found by daughter April and rushed to hospital.

    It’s been a long road to recovery, but Marlon and Rhona have persevered. They finally married in August 2022 with Marlon surprising his bride by walking down the aisle.

    Is Ivy really Rhona’s daughter?

    Ivy was conceived using one of Rhona’s embryos that had been frozen when she was with Gus. He used them with his new wife Lucy without Rhona’s permission.

    However, even though biologically Ivy is a part of Rhona, she doesn’t have any legal rights.

    Baby Ivy arrived in the world safely, but sadly Lucy died due to complications from child birth. Acting on her maternal instincts, Rhona became attached to little Ivy and was desperate to be part of her daughter’s life.

    When Gus announced his intention to move to France with Ivy, Rhona panicked and snatched Ivy – but found herself under arrest for kidnap and was forced to stand trial.

    She was found not guilty and Gus was then made to stand trial for fraud. He was sentenced to eight years in prison, meaning Ivy went to live with Rhona and Marlon.

    Marlon was close to divorcing Rhona after she turned on Gus in court during her victim impact statement and made sure he went down for a long time. Marlon felt it was too far and she was being selfish. He also got upset that she didn’t consult him and revealed it has been a pattern of their relationship.

    They eventually agreed to work hard to save their marriage.

    Rhona Goskirk’s past dragged up as April went missing in Emmerdale

    On Christmas Day 2024, Rhona and Marlon’s worlds turned upside down when daughter April went missing. Rhona’s own past came back to haunt her when an article from the Hotten Corier implied she’d been to blame for April’s disappearance.

    April since resurfaced, returning home to Marlon and Rhona earlier this year. However, she wasn’t alone – and her friend from the streets, Dylan, came looking for her a few weeks later. Dylan’s friendship with April has alarm bells ringing for Marlon and Rhona – particularly the latter, who realises how dangerous addiction can be.

    Zoe’s first TV role was a bit part in the pilot episode of Cold Feet. Prior to Emmerdale she also had parts in dramas such as Grafters, Dalziel and Pascoe, The Bill and A Touch of Frost. She also played in the lead in BBC drama Conviction.

    Emmerdale star Lisa Riley is all smiles as she poses for a snap with Peter Kay after heckler controversy

    Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has proved that she harbours no ill feeling toward comedian Peter Kay following his recent heckler controversy. The Bolton funnyman made headlines after invoking the Emmerdale star’s name while dealing with a heckler.

    According to reports, Peter grew frustrated after an audience member repeatedly shouted out ‘garlic bread’ during a recent gig. After having the person in question removed, another attracted his ire – a woman who shouted out “we love you Peter!”

    According to MailOnline, Peter replied: “Oh Christ almighty. Bloody hell. I love Saturdays. Is he gone now? Alright, love I’ve heard you. Take her out and all while you’re up there will you? Take her out.”

    He reportedly continued: “Go on, you’ve missed the ending and everything, what a shame with your [expletive] big gob drinking de-icer. Out you go. Go on, Lisa Riley, [expletive] off. Go on. Out you pop flower, go on. See ya.”

    Peter Kay attracts controversy after Lisa Riley jab

    This comparison had many offended, with the woman telling Manchester Evening News that she felt Peter was making a jab at her weight with the comment.

    “I do feel he was on about my weight,” she told the newspaper. “I’m self-conscious about that so to go to a show and feel like you’re having the mick taken out of you because of your weight, I was just a bit shocked.”

    The Mandy Dingle star, however, seems not to have taken it too seriously – attending his show on Saturday night, and even sharing a picture afterward.

    Posting to her Instagram account, Lisa shared a series of pictures from the show – including a group snap and a close-up selfie.

    Lisa captioned the post: “THANK YOU so so so much Peter for the most fantastic night last night at @firstdirectarena. We laughed until it hurt – the show is absolutely hilarious. We were up until way gone midnight reciting all the jokes-northern at its absolute best.

  • What happened in Emmerdale on Friday March 7: Manpreet opened up and Jacob broke up with Sarah

    What happened in Emmerdale on Friday March 7: Manpreet opened up and Jacob broke up with Sarah

    In Emmerdale Friday March 7, Manpreet finally revealed exactly what her huge secret is to Ella, but things only got worse. And when Sarah went to tell Jacob about her pregnancy, things did not go well at all.

    Elsewhere Dylan was struggling with withdrawal symptoms and lashed out at April just as Marlon walked in.

    And Tracy’s money problems continued to grow as she keeps stealing from Eric.

    Read on for a full recap of Emmerdale tonight (March 7).

    Manpreet reveals all in Emmerdale Friday March 7

    Clearly on edge because of the text messages she has been receiving, she decided to block the number. However, this didn’t help as she soon got another one informing her that they “are not going anywhere”. It didn’t take long for Ella to work out something was going on – and Manpreet finally opened up.

    She revealed that she began posting photos of herself to her social media after she and Charles broke up because she felt rejected. But when a follower suggested she got a subscription account, it became something bigger.

    Now, with the messages, Manpreet is realising her career may be in complete jeopardy. And no matter how much Ella tried to reassure her, the doc wasn’t convinced. Ella then told her to delete her account – which she did.

    But immediately after she got another message: “Deleting your profile won’t make a difference”. As it turns out, the blackmailer has taken screenshots of all of Manpreet’s content. Another message came in: “One word to the police and everyone will know your secret. I will be in touch.” Who is sending the messages?

    Sarah confides in Charity

    Charity was on her way out but quickly realised something was wrong with Sarah, who stunned her by admitting she was pregnant. She headed out to meet with Jacob but before she got the chance to tell him the news, he broke up with her.

    Again, his reasoning was that he didn’t want to lose anyone else, and there was no changing his mind. Sarah returned home clearly upset and told Charity the situation.

    She reminded her that Sarah will have all of the Dingles to support her no matter what she decides to do. But Sarah’s mind was already made up – she wants the baby.

    Marlon gets frustrated as Dylan struggles

    Clearly in withdrawal from the drugs, Dylan starts to lash out at April who is trying to help him. And he does it just as Marlon walks in (bad timing!). Dylan heads out and Marlon tells April that she can’t be the one to help him get clean and that he needs professional help. But April is adamant that her experience on the streets makes her the best person to help.

    She even flips the situation asking Marlon what he would like to happen if it was her in that situation. While Marlon eases up on her, he heads to meet Ross (new best friends?). Ross instantly is on Marlon’s side and tells him they need to do something to get through to April.

    Elsewhere in Emmerdale Friday March 7

    It’s Vanessa’s birthday and she is missing Suzy. And when she continues to turn to Mary for support, Mary keeps her and Suzy’s secret quiet. But clearly with a guilty conscious, she decides to host small birthday celebrations for her.

    Tracy can’t afford to contribute as viewers found out last night that she is stealing from the shop. And despite promising Leyla that she would stop, Tracy once again gives in.

    When Victoria arrives, stopping her from telling Eric the truth, she suggests Frankie joins Harry for swimming lessons. And later signs her up with a deposit, leaving Tracy anxious about how she will pay for it.
