Fans of Emmerdale are convinced that Sarah Sugden will fall pregnant following her one-night stand with Jacob. It was revealed last night (Thursday, January 9) that the pair had hooked up following their kiss on Wednesday.
However, Jacob cruelly dashed Sarah’s hopes for a relationship by giving her the cold shoulder afterwards. When they ran into each other in the cafe, he told her that he wasn’t ready for a relationship after Leanna – as he wasn’t ready to say goodbye to someone else he cares about.

Jacob hurts Sarah after one-night stand
Sarah was hurt, not least by the implication that he didn’t want to be with her because she’ll probably die young. Fuming, grandma Charity rushed over to tear a strip off of Jacob – who seems to be taking after dad David in all the worst ways.
But has the damage already been done? Some fans think that Sarah may have fallen pregnant with Jacob’s child.

Emmerdale fans predict pregnancy news for Sarah and Jacob
As the scenes aired, fans took to social news to share their thoughts on Sarah‘s future. And many wondered whether nature might take its course following their liason.
“So… how long before they say Sarah’s pregnant with Jacob’s kid? Or have they said she can’t have them?” asked one fan on X.
“Oh please don’t you dare write that Sarah is pregnant!!!” wrote another.
“She’s definitely gonna get pregnant then so they can have another ‘awareness’ story about how abortion can save lives,” a third said, via a Reddit comment thread.
“Most likely. She’s 19 and hasn’t had any children yet, so overdue, plus the village needs a constant supply of new Dingles,” a fourth agreed.

But Adam comes home at the wrong moment and catches her in the act! Steph holds it together, and calmly explains she needs to know what’s going on. She forces a confession out of Adam, who doesn’t know that she’s recorded the whole thing.

The Emmerdale rumour mill has been thrown into overdrive after the soap aired a series of flash-forwards depicting one character trapped under a sheet of ice. Further details have revealed that this follows a terrible car crash in which a number of characters wind up in grave danger, with one resident trapped beneath the ice.
But whose hand can be seen under the ice? With a number of exits announced, some have speculated that this could play into the upcoming departure of Leyla, Brenda or Ella from the soap – but there’s also Anthony, who is living on borrowed time after news of his abusing Ruby begins to spread.
“Think that might be Leyla, maybe a car crashes into the lake or the quarry pool ? Won’t be for the first time…!” suggested one fan.
“That’s Leyla under the ice, its how she gets killed off!” another wrote, confidently.
Fans are hoping evil Anthony dies horribly (Credit: ITV)
2. Anthony
While there isn’t much evidence to suggest it, many viewers are hoping that it’s resident monster Anthony Fox who finds his way into a watery grave.
“I hope it’s Anthony buried under the ice,” said one fan.
“Anthony’s hand!!” a second speculated.
A suitably horrible end to a truly vile figure – but is this how things play out?
Caleb’s in trouble (Credit: ITV)
3. Caleb
Another flash-forward showed Caleb lying in intensive care, fighting for his life. This could be a result of his falling in the water and getting trapped under the ice.
“What if Caleb, Ruby and Steph are driving, accidentally run over Leyla and have to hide it for some reason?” asked one fan. “As they play the blame game with each other or try to get their story straight, they crash into the frozen lake. Ruby and Steph get out, but Caleb gets stuck, probably because he was trying to save them.”
Could Dawn’s vendetta against Kim put her life in peril? (Credit: ITV)
4. Fans hope that Dawn dies in the ice in Emmerdale
Some viewers have wondered whether Dawn’s ongoing vendetta with Kim Tate could see her dying while Kim looks on.
“I really, really, really hope that it’s dismal (Dawn) trapped under the ice. Kim sees her trapped but does nothing to help and dismal can see her through the ice, not lifting a finger,” said one fan.
Joe’s back… but for how long? (Credit: ITV)
5. Joe
He’s only been back in the dales a few months, but fans have speculated that Joe Tate might not have long left.
“I think it is Joe under the ice, and possibly Dawn put him there. She does think Joe caused Will’s death, and everyone hates Joe. He is already making more enemies than he had before. Joe could definitely be either under the ice or in the body bag,” wrote one fan.
Is Billy dead wood? (Credit: ITV)
Whose hand is under the ice in Emmerdale?
6. Billy
Another popular theory is Billy. And, given that the hand appears to belong to a married man, he’s a strong contender.
“I 100% think it’s Billy,” theorised one viewer.
“The hand looked like a man’s hand to me. My guess is Billy. They showed Dawn’s face before the flash scene and the hand has a wedding ring on it,” another speculated.
“My prediction of the person trapped under the ice, especially as the people shown just prior to the scene were Dawn and Joe. They both have an affair and Joe tries to bump Billy off but he manages to survive,” a third said.
Stars Lisa Riley and Paula Lane have been filming together (Credit: ITV)
7. Ella or Mandy
Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle, gave a hint that she and co-star Paula Lane were both involved in a night shoot, potentially to do with the icy stunt.
“Love this girl so much, Paula Lane,†Lisa wrote on social media as she shared a picture of them both. “Cheeky Christmas lunch together at before we have a night shoot at Emmerdale tonight. The Christmas spirit in here is sparkling.â€
This comes following news that Ella Forster will also be leaving the soap this year. Actress Paula Lane’s agency has said she will only be filming Emmerdale until February – meaning that Ella’s exit is imminent. Is she in terrible danger?

Marlon was heartbroken to see nasty troll messages. (Credit: ITV)
1. Negativity rises
There are a lot of storylines at the minute which could involve negativity.
In last night’s episode (January 9), Marlon began receiving horrible messages online from trolls, after his appeal video for April.
His daughter was last seen on our screens on Christmas Day getting into the car of an unknown person – so where is she?
In the Emmerdale spoilers for tonight it tells us that more negativity surfaces. So while we don’t know who that’s for, Marlon’s video is our theory.
As tensions continue to rise, Rhona hits breaking point. (Credit: ITV)
2. Rhona hits breaking point
During the search for April, Marlon and Rhona have struggled to stay by each others side without arguing.
Things got even worse when Marlon didn’t tell his wife that Laurel relapsed and made a move on him. So when Mary confronted her, Marlon blamed Rhona.
The pair have been at odds with each other quite a lot, in a time they should be sticking together.
And in tonight’s episode, it seems Rhona can’t take anymore and is at her breaking point. Will the couple find a way to get back on track?
3. Boundaries are crossed in Emmerdale spoilers
This one is a bit vague, as again there are a lot of Emmerdale storylines this could involve. But after their sneaky kiss yesterday, could it be Dawn and Joe?
The last few days have been very dramatic at Home Farm. From Kim’s arrest during Will’s funeral, to Dawn drugging Kim with ketamine. But last night the shocks went even further when Joe and Dawn kissed – despite only hating each other up until now.
So as the Emmerdale spoilers for tonight explain that boundaries will be crossed – is it them?
Emmerdale usually airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV, with an early release at 7am on ITVX.

February in Emmerdale looks freezing, treacherous and deadly according to the first look at the soap’s big ice stunt storyline. Some of the villager’s most loved characters will be in peril, but who?
A hand trapped under the ice in Emmerdale (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale ice stunt to air next month
The soap has revealed a car crash and a frozen lake will both feature in the storyline. Multiple lives will hang in the balance and at least one will be trapped in the water under the ice. We have already seen the hand desperately trying to break through to survive – but whose hand is it? And will they get out okay?
The stunts were filmed before Christmas during a series of night shoots. Emmerdale has also used the expertise of a special effects company to recreate the frozen lake, which sits at the edge of the village.
Producer Laura Shaw has spoken about the stunt. She said: “With winter nights having drawn in, our audience are enjoying cosy nights indoors whilst our fantastic team at Emmerdale have been recording gripping drama to bring to their screens.
“The stunning backdrop of the village, from its rugged woodland to its wilder landscapes, set the perfect stage for what’s to come. I’m thrilled for our audience to experience these episodes as they unfold, taking them on a chilling—quite literally—and perilous journey across the frozen ice.”

So who is trapped?
Emmerdale is staying tight-lipped about the characters involved. However, last year it was reported this will be Leyla Harding’s exit storyline. The Sun revealed the news in December 2024 that Roxy Shahidi is leaving the soap after 16 years. The publiction then printed another article saying she was the one involved in the frozen lake scenes.
According to The Sun, the terrifying scenes are said to see Leyla and two other women trapped in a car as it sinks into a frozen lake. An Insider said: “The bosses want viewers to have their hearts in their mouths when they see the car career off the road and into the water.
“It’s a nightmare scenario and everything was done to make sure this was a scene with real impact. Hours were spent creating a layer of ice, then the actors spent hours out on the frozen field in the pitch black trying to do the storyline justice.
“It will be a real heartstopper moment when it airs,” they concluded.
However if you look closely, the hand is wearing a wedding ring – and Leyla isn’t married. Could this be a clue she’s not the one involved in the stunt?

Emmerdale tonight saw the brief return of Will Taylor from the dead as Kim hallunicated her late husband. Dawn was behind it and finally got the answers she was looking for – and then she kissed Joe Tate!
Elsewhere, Jacob really needs to sort out his behaviour with women – and Charity told him as much.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday January 9.
Dawn drugged Kim in Emmerdale tonight

Will ‘returned’
Dawn had left a pot of coffee for Kim when she got up – and we all know what that meant. But Kim did not and drunk it anyway.
It was soon clear Kim was feeling woozy. Then she found the video of Will playing in the living room, before ‘Will’ confronted her. Kim was overwhelmed that her husband was back, but he wasn’t being nice, he was telling her it was all her fault and asking her how she killed him.
Viewers then saw it was Dawn, not Will, grilling Kim and it became clear she was hallucinating her dead husband thanks to Dawn’s ketamine. Kim then saw blood on her hands and freaked out. Will was still there in her head as she started to go mad, and we could see Dawn persisting in trying to get the truth.
Kim was convinced it was Will as she confessed she didn’t want Will dead. She admitted she could have helped Will sooner. It was clear she was distraught over the whole thing. Kim begged for forgiveness, but Dawn said she didn’t believe her and it can’t have just been an accident. Sobbing Kim said she did it because Will broke her heart.

Kim rushed to hospital
Kim was looking sicker and sicker as she relieved the past few months with Will and what they did to each other. She insisted she loved him so much before passing out.
Dawn STILL didn’t believe her, but just then Joe walked in and wanted to know exactly what had gone on. Dawn admitted she drugged her so she would let her guard down and talk about Will.
Kim then started to have a seizure thanks to her overdosing and an ambulance was called. Joe covered Dawn’s tracks and unresponsive Kim was rushed to hospital.
Joe genuinely has us believing he’s Team Kim – what is going on here?!

Kim confronted Dawn in Emmerdale tonight
Fortunately Kim regained consciousness and was stablised. The police arrived to question her over the ketamine and she lied she took it herself. Kim and Dawn finally made peace.
Dawn later confessed to Billy and admitted she’d got the ketamine from her old dealer. Billy then questioned whether Dawn had taken any herself and didn’t believe her when she insisted she hadn’t. All right Billy, let’s climb down off that high horse, shall we.
Dawn made a move on Joe (Credit: ITV)
Dawn and Joe kissed
Later at Home Farm, Joe and Dawn shared a drink together. Joe was being nice to her and consoling her and she leaned in and kissed him. She pulled back and Joe assured her it was okay, but suggested she didn’t tell Billy the truth about this one.
Sarah was distraught over Jacob’s actions (Credit: ITV)
Jacob hurt Sarah again in Emmerdale tonight
Jacob and Sarah had spent the night together, but Leyla was worried about Sarah and Jacob being together because of Sarah’s health issues.
At home Charity was waiting to give Sarah the third degree about where she had been. Sarah admitted she’d been with Jacob and despite Charity’s concerns she gave them her blessing to be together.
When Sarah and Jacob ran into each other in the cafe, Jacob was awkward with her and Sarah noticed something was wrong. But once again Jacob didn’t want to talk about it and then admitted he wasn’t ready for a relationship after Leanna because he couldn’t say goodbye to someone else he really cares about. Sarah was hurt. Again.
Sarah sobbed on Charity’s shoulder over the whole situation as she once again was faced with the reality that she may die before she’s 40. Charity immediately stormed round to give Jacob a piece of her mind.
Nasty trolls have made things even worse for Marlon (Credit: ITV)
Devastation for Marlon in Emmerdale tonight
Marlon’s video had got 100s of comments and people were suggesting they’d seen her as far as Brighton and Scotland. But Mary noticed something on the threads that sparked concern. Vile trolls were suggesting Marlon was creepy and he had something to do with April going missing. Mary was trying to delete them, but there were too many.
Marlon saw them and was devastated that people could think he could do something like that.
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Laurel confided in Charles – is there still a spark there? (Credit: ITV)
Laurel and Charles
Charles and Laurel pitched in to help with the search for April. Charles called round all the shelters, which we sort of think he should already have been doing to be honest!
Laurel then confided in Charles about her drinking and making a pass at Marlon. Are these two growing closer again? Is that a spark we still see there?
Ruby and Steph made up
Anthony approached Caleb and Ruby in the cafe and told Ruby off for upsetting Steph. Ruby then apologised to Steph and was forgiven. Anthony rubbed Ruby’s face in his closeness to Steph and this whole, vile, cycle continues.

Jacob Gallagher has managed to break Sarah Sugden’s heart twice in as many weeks, and now he’s facing the wrath of her grandma, Charity.
And frankly, we think he deserves it! Because Jacob’s history with women is, well, chequered, to say the least.
Jacob was undoubtedly damaged by his grooming and abuse at the hands of his teacher Maya Stepney, so perhaps that’s why he’s proved very careless with the hearts of his girlfriends since.
And that’s not really a surprise given the role models he has. His dad David Metcalfe is a serial monogamist who has a long list of failed marriages and relationships to his name. Not to mention very questionable taste in partners – Maya was his girlfriend when she was grooming teenage Jacob, and he also had a very toxic romance with serial killer Meena Jutla.
And let’s not forget that Jacob’s mum Leyla Harding has been very unlucky in love.
But while all that is a reason for Jacob being so careless with other people’s feelings, we don’t reckon it’s an excuse. Here’s a rundown of all his romances and where they went wrong – perhaps next time he’ll get it right.
Liv and Jacob had a short-lived romance but he was using her (Credit: ITV)
Jacob’s history with women: Liv Flaherty
Liv liked Jacob but he didn’t feel the same way – until he did. But it turned out his youthful romance with Liv was actually a cover for his grim abuse at the hands of Maya.
Jacob was so determined to keep his feelings for Maya a secret that he used Liv, not caring about how she felt. Not cool, Jacob.
Jacob thought he loved Maya but she was manipulating him (Credit: ITV)
Maya Stepney
Of course, Jacob’s bad behaviour at that time wasn’t entirely his fault – he was being groomed by teacher Maya. She convinced him that the pair were in love. Maya was in a relationship with Jacob’s dad David at the time, but she still managed to persuade Jacob – who was just 15 when their romance began – that they were meant to be. When Jacob turned 16, the pair slept together.
It took Jacob a while to realise that their relationship was based on Maya’s manipulation and he struggled to get over it. Maya was later jailed for exchanging inappropriate text messages with Jacob.
Jacob was unkind to Leanna at first (Credit: ITV)
Leanna Cavanagh
With his heart still shattered after Maya, Jacob turned to Leanna who had feelings for him. They slept together but Leanna – who had never slept with a boy before – was devastated when he turned on her. He told her he’d only slept with her because she was nice to him. He said he’d never be into her.
Jacob did see the error of his ways, and apologised to Leanna. She forgave him and the pair agreed to go back to being friends.
But the pair grew closer and by Leanna’s 18th birthday they were in love and planning to go travelling together.
Tragedy struck though when Leanna was murdered by Meena, leaving Jacob’s heart shattered once more.
Bit icky (Credit: ITV)
Jacob’s history with women: Victoria Sugden
It took Jacob a long time to recover from Leanna’s death, and when he eventually fell in love again, Emmerdale viewers were not on board!
Because Jacob fell for his dad’s ex-girlfriend Victoria Sugden!
Victoria was in fact closer in age to Jacob than she had been to David, but she was still nine years his senior, and her previous role as his sort-of-step-mum made the whole thing feel a bit ick.
The pair were really into each other, and ploughed on with their romance despite the disapproval of everyone around them.
David was so horrified by his son’s new relationship that he disowned him and moved to London (which we can’t help thinking was a bit of an over-reaction). Leyla wasn’t happy about it either, and nor was Jacob’s grandfather, Eric Pollard.
But the romance was short-lived (thankfully because it made us cringe).
Sarah’s smitten but does Jacob feel the same? (Credit: ITV)
Sarah Sugden
Now Jacob’s being hot and cold with Vic’s niece, Sarah. He’s admitted he likes her but he’s worried about her health condition that could mean she dies young. And he’s already upset her by criticising her drinking when she ended up in A&E, and flaunting one-night-stand Sian in the village.
Could they make a go of things? Only time will tell.

Kim Tate in Emmerdale has done some pretty rotten stuff in her time. Watching husband Frank die at her feet, sending another husband – Steve – to jail for a crime she masterminded, faking her own death to punish son Jamie, burying Will alive… need we go on?
So it’s not really surprising that Dawn is convinced Kim had something to do with her dad Will’s death on Christmas Day.
Or that Will left Dawn the video pointing the finger at his wife.
But when it comes to crimes, we think Kim’s guilty of something even worse than leaving Will begging for help on the living room floor.
Because Home Farm still has the Christmas decorations up!

Home Farm is sparkling!
We get that the Tate/Fletcher/Thomas family have had a lot on since Christmas, what with Will’s death and organising a funeral and whatnot.
But come on. It’s not like they couldn’t have just asked Lydia to give them a hand to take them down and shove them up in the loft.
On the contrary, they seem to have totally embraced the January decorations. We couldn’t help but notice that when Dawn was sitting on the sofa, bemoaning her foolish actions regarding the whole ketamine thing, she’d taken the time to light the pretty Christmas candles.
Aww the cafe makes a pretty festive backdrop to Laurel’s confession (Credit: ITV)
Bad luck in store for Kim in Emmerdale?
Of course everyone knows that Christmas decorations are supposed to come down by Twelfth Night, which is either December 5 or 6 (opinion is divided on that bit!) depending on whether you count 12 days from Christmas Day or 12 days after.
January 6 is Epiphany – the day the three kings finally made it to visit baby Jesus – so that marks the end of the festive season.
And what happens if you leave them up too long?
Well, some superstitious types would like to tell you that leaving the decs up after Epiphany means bad luck!
Frankly, we’re not sure the Tates need more bad luck, so they’re really taking some risks here!
But it seems they’re not alone.
Because we’ve also spotted some pretty fancy decorations festooning other spots in Emmerdale too.
Could there be any more Christmas decorations at Home Farm? (Credit: ITV)
Are Kim and co tempting fate in Emmerdale?
The Woolpack is still decked out in tinsel. And with Chas and Charity’s luck, we reckon that might be tempting fate. Mind you, Charity’s left her decs up at home too, so she’s doing the double.
The cafe is still sparkling like a Christmas tree. Nicola and Brenda have certainly been more than a little bit unlucky of late. Does this mean there’s more doom in store for the pair of them? What else can go wrong?!
Leyla’s tree is still up making us fear for her future after those death rumours.
As if Ruby needs any more bad luck! (Credit: ITV)
And the worst of the bunch is the Fox-Miligans’ house. Their decorations are beautiful garlands, and shimmering fronds draped artfully from banisters. Not to mention Ruby’s home-made wreath of course.
Doomed!
While they’re undoubtedly proud of them, we really don’t think they should have left them up.
Because with Ruby struggling to cope with her evil dad arriving back in her life and stirring up memories of her childhood abuse, not to mention her guilt over cheating with Cain, and her fractious relationship with daughter Steph, can things really get any worse for the family?!
If it was us, we’d have taken those decs down well in advance just to be sure!

Emmerdale star Mark Charnock has revealed his fear that Marlon Dingle will be axed from the soap amid recent budget cuts. This comes amid a series of exits from the soap – including Roxy Shahidi, who plays Leyla, Paula Lane (Ella), Susan Cookson (Wendy) and Lesley Dunlop (Brenda).
And, out of fear that no-one is safe from the chop, actor Mark has opened up about his worry that Marlon could be next.
But does he have anything to worry about?

Mark Charnock reveals fears of axe for Marlon
In an exclusive interview with The Mirror, Mark opened up about his time on the soap – which began in 1996, when Marlon first appeared in the Dales.
“What an amazing run of luck. I have loved every moment of my 28 years on the show. And what is so great about it is that it changes all the time, it’s never not surprising and keeps you on your toes – I love that,” he said.
He continued: “You can never take it for granted and you never know until you get your next contract.”
Mark added: “I am a terrible worrier. I find myself driving home muttering lines trying to remember how I played them out. I am a bit neurotic in that way but Emmerdale is such a great show to work on.”

Marlon goes viral in Emmerdale tonight
Tonight’s episode of the soap (airing Thursday, January 9), sees Marlon go viral… for all the wrong reasons. As his online plea for April’s safe return home gains traction, Mary learns that trolls have begun targeting Marlon’s video.
Marlon is shocked when he reads the vile comments attached to his video. Although he considers deleting his appeal, he ultimately decides to stand strong – and he and Rhona are more resolved than ever to bring April home, safe and sound.

Last night’s episode of Emmerdale saw two young village residents hook up as Jacob Gallagher and Sarah Sugden shared a kiss. This followed a tough week for the pair, as Sarah felt rejected by Jacob, who seemed to have moved on with new friends and a new girl.
As he embarrassed Sarah by talking about her illness in front of his new mates, Jacob then embarrassed her by giving her a hard time about drinking. Outside, he apologised and, as they shared a moment, the pair kissed outside of The Woolpack.
Fans were left shocked by Jacob’s actions, and were left wondering how old Sarah is supposed to be, anyway.

Emmerdale fans dismayed as Sarah hooks up with Jacob
Writing on X and Instagram as the scenes aired, viewers shared their thoughts on Sarah and Jacob‘s fledgling romance. And, while some thought it was sweet, others were less than impressed.
“Vic was way more suited than a child,” said one fan of Jacob’s new girl – referring to his most recent ex, Victoria.
“How old are they suppose to be?!” asked another.
“Why is Jacob always given love interests with an age gap? Sarah’s a fair few years younger than him, right?” said a third.
“Anyone else feel uncomfortable with Sarah and Jacob?” another asked.
But how old is Sarah anyway?

How old is Sarah in Emmerdale?
Sarah might seem younger due to her somewhat childish behaviour, but she’s actually 19 years old – having been born in 2005. Jacob, meanwhile, is almost 21, and was born in February 2003.
A couple of years difference, but not a problematic one. Jacob has a sad history when it comes to age-gap relationships – having being groomed by teacher Maya not long after his 16th birthday. Last year, he embarked on a relationship with his dad’s ex, Victoria, which, while consensual, raised a few eyebrows.
