  • 5 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Sarah is embarrassed and Marlon records a video

    5 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Sarah is embarrassed and Marlon records a video

    In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight Sarah feels embarrassed and Marlon records a message for April as the search continues.

    Also, Ruby’s bonding time with Steph hits a snag as the past is once again brought up.

    Read below for full Emmerdale spoilers for tonight (January 8).

    1. Sarah feels excluded

    Things seemed to be going well for Jacob and Sarah at the start, but that quickly changed. After Sarah turned up drunk to his first day of his A&E placement the pair shared some harsh words.

    It got even worse when Sarah spotted Jacob kissing a girl who had spent the night at his house.

    Tonight, he and his medical student friends are all out together, leaving Sarah feeling even more excluded from Jacob. Her embarrassment is heightened whenever they realise she was the drunk girl in A&E.

    2. Jacob feels guilty in Emmerdale spoilers

    After his medical student friends start to have a go at Sarah for her drunk antics, Jacob starts to feel guilty.

    Clearly seeing it’s having an impact on Sarah, he apologises for his recent behaviour.

    Sarah forgives him, and it seems the pair could be back on the right path. Will it last? Or will something else come in between them?

    A new Emmerdale theory has predicted Sarah could be one of the deaths from the flashforwards…

    3. Ruby and Steph’s bonding time is halted

    This week Ruby decided to learn the truth about who Steph’s father really is. And so she sent away a DNA test.

    Afterwards, she has been wanting to spend as much mother and daughter time with Steph as possible, clearly concerned for what their future holds.

    It’s been going well, as the pair headed off on a spa trip, then continued to bond when they got home. But that changes again tonight.

    Steph finds another old photo – this time from when Ruby was pregnant with her. Once again, the image brings back the memories, and her current concerns. So when Steph tries to chat about the photo, the tension rises.

    4. Laurel and Rhona have a chat

    Rhona was angry to learn that Laurel made a move on Marlon after she relapsed on alcohol and he helped her through it. And she was even more annoyed that Marlon kept it a secret from her.

    After Marlon asked Rhona to keep it a secret, she confided in her mum, Mary – who may have been more angry about it than anyone.

    While everyone was searching for April, Mary took her chance and called Laurel out for her behaviour, which led to even more issues between Marlon and Rhona.

    But in Emmerdale spoilers for tonight Laurel and Rhona have a conversation that seems to put their friendship back on the right track.

    As the search for April continues, Marlon records a video message. (Credit: ITV)

    5. Marlon records a video in Emmerdale spoilers

    April hasn’t been seen since going missing on Christmas Day. Despite the villagers not giving up and continuing to look for her everyday, there’s been no luck.

    Earlier this week, Marlon’s friends tried to encourage him to do an online appeal directly to April, to gather more widespread support.

    While he was initially against the idea, tonight he decides a video is the only way to progress. So he proceeds to film and upload it – but will it help? And where is April?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Dawn triumphant as Kim was arrested for Will’s murder

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Dawn triumphant as Kim was arrested for Will’s murder

    Dawn was on a mission in Emmerdale tonight and she thought she’d won when she had Kim arrested at Will’s funeral. But did Queen Kim really have something to do with Will’s death?

    Elsewhere, Anthony dropped a bombshell on Caleb and Jacob is still struggling with stress.

    Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday January 7.

    There was drama at Will’s funeral in Emmerdale tonight

    Dawn wanted answers

    Dawn confronted Ross over Will’s video. But Ross advised her she was barking up the wrong tree and Kim did not kill Will.

    Meanwhile, Kim was preparing herself for Will’s funeral, planning to ride to the church on Ice. Kim promised Dawn she would step up and be there for her, but Dawn only gave her a glare in response. Dawn later told Billy Kim killed Will and showed him the video. But Billy wasn’t sure it meant anything – and suggested the video could have been made ages ago and could be a set-up.

    Dawn attacked Kim in church

    The family went to the funeral, with Kim the grieving widow, Dawn steely and unforgiving, and (randomly) Gabby a tearful wreck. Kim delivered a heartfelt eulogy, but Dawn couldn’t keep quiet. She stood up and accused Kim of being a “murdering bitch”.

    An argument broke out as Kim defended herself and Dawn revealed the video to the congregation. Kim begged Dawn to believe her, but Dawn shoved her violently into the coffin. She ran out.

    Kim continued her eulogy and if she was giving a performance, it convinced us, because we really don’t think she had anything to do with Will’s death. But we could be wrong…

    Kim arrested

    Dawn returned only for the burial in the graveyard, but was still not interested in forgiving Kim. In fact, she had called the cops, who turned up at the graveside to take Kim in for questioning over Will’s murder.

    Kim went willingly, insisting she has nothing to hide. We don’t think she does and we suspect that triumphant look on Dawn’s face will be wiped off it fairly soon. And we’re actually quite glad about that.

    Anthony dropped a bombshell in Emmerdale tonight

    Ruby treated Steph to a spa day so they could spend some time together, but Steph was not keen. Ruby pushed her into agreeing and she gave in.

    Meanwhile, Anthony asked Caleb if they could have a chat alone. The oncology team had told him the cancer is spreading faster than expected. Anthony does not have long left.

    As we collectively breathed a sigh of relief, oblivious Caleb comforted his father-in-law, who insisted Ruby and Steph mustn’t know about the scan results. He wants Ruby’s forgiveness to come from her heart – he’ll have a VERY long wait then.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Marlon is appealing

    Marlon was furious over Mary confronting Laurel, but Mary was not sorry. However, the focus was April who is still missing. The family then convinced Marlon to do a social media appeal to ask her to come home. With renewed hope, Marlon agreed.

    Jacob Gallagher looks worried in Emmerdale

    Jacob is still stressed

    We’re beginning to wonder if Jacob is cut out to be a doctor to be honest. He’s only done one day on placement and is already struggling with stress. Tonight, he was was shadowing Manpreet at the surgery and helped Bob during an appointment. But Manpreet was worried about Jacob’s stress levels. She advised him to administer self-care, but will he do as she says?

  • Emmerdale spoilers: Anthony’s ‘next victim’ revealed as he starts to tutor Angelica 

    Emmerdale spoilers: Anthony’s ‘next victim’ revealed as he starts to tutor Angelica 

    In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, things take a sinister turn as Anthony sets his sights on Angelica King.

    Viewers are aware that Anthony sexually abused his daughter Ruby Fox-Miligan when she was a teenager, however that fact remains hidden from everyone else.

    Now, there is a fear that Anthony could strike again as begins to tutor Angelica.

    Steph and Caleb are unaware of the truth (Credit: ITV)

    What happened between Anthony and Ruby?

    Ruby had been estranged from her parents for over 30 years. While it was assumed that this was due to their disapproval of Caleb, the truth was later revealed in a special flashback episode.

    The special scenes saw a young Ruby in her bedroom on her 16th birthday. She was soon joined by Anthony, who brought her some cake.

    Things soon took a vile turn as Anthony locked the bedroom door as Ruby watched on petrified. Ruby begged her father: “Please not again, please not today.” Making it clear that Anthony had been abusing his teenage daughter.

    Recently on Emmerdale, Ruby confided in Chas that she was raped and therefore Caleb might not be Steph’s dad. She stopped short of telling Chas that her abuser was her own dad. However, she did agree to getting a DNA test so that she could know the truth once and for all.

    Emmerdale spoilers: Anthony ‘targets next victim’

    In upcoming episodes of Emmerdale, Nicola tries to help Angelica get back on track with her education and she arranges a tutoring session between Anthony and Angel.

    Later, Nicola is over the moon to hear Angel’s tutoring session with Anthony went well.

    Meanwhile, Laurel hears about the success of Anthony’s teaching, so decides to hire him to help Arthur too.

    Are Angelica and Arthur in danger?

  • Viewers slam Jacob’s awful treatment of women in echoes of dad David’s behaviour

    Viewers slam Jacob’s awful treatment of women in echoes of dad David’s behaviour

    Emmerdale viewers have torn strips into Jacob Gallagher after comparing him to dad David when it comes to women.

    Jacob’s recently been dating (or attempting to) date Sarah Sugden but his eye wandered elsewhere last night (Monday, January 6).

    Now, fans are comparing his behaviour to David, and to be fair… they have a point.

    Emmerdale: Jacob ditched Sarah for Sian

    Recently in the Emmerdale village, Jacob and Sarah have been enjoying some flirty moments. They tried to arrange a date but Jacob ended up standing Sarah up for his mum (talk about awkward!)

    After rescheduling, Jacob ended up working in A&E on the day Sarah happened to get drunk and be admitted as a patient.

    Sarah had felt the need to drink after Jacob had failed to give her the attention she was looking for. Jacob then realised that he needed to put his studies before dating.

    Well, that idea didn’t last long as last night Leyla caught him with a fellow med student called Sian. It turned out he’d spent the night with her… and this information didn’t go unnoticed by Sarah either. Oh Jacob. Do you not have any slight bit of conscience?

    Is there a comparison to be made? (Credit: ITV)

    Fans blast Jacob for mistreatment of women in David comparison

    With Jacob not being the slightest bit considerate to Sarah’s feelings, fans have now compared his awful treatment of women to that of his dad, David. We’re not sure Jacob would be too happy about this one considering the circumstances surrounding David’s departure.

    David never had the best track record with women. He dated a fair few of them but never really treated them well enough for them to stick around long term. And, now, it looks like his son could be following in his footsteps.

    One disgusted fan wrote: “Ah Jacob has his dad’s way with women, here meaning he treats them terribly. Poor Sarah. But seemingly a good thing for Jacob as his sexual partner is neither awful nor with his dad for once.”

    Another person commented: “I’m shocked at his behaviour. I really didn’t think he was like that. Poor Sarah. Leyla thinking what he did is okay is just as bad. When she thought he was dating Sarah she told him his studies should come first but when he’s with a fellow trainee doctor it’s okay. Talk about looking down on Sarah.”

    A third person wondered: “So will Jacob be working his way through the hospital staff with one night stands?”

    Jacob’s definitely picked up a few tips (or lack of tips) from David we reckon. Although, he did date his dad’s ex at one point, so that shouldn’t surprise us!

  • Joe came back to Emmerdale to die, new fan theory predicts

    Joe came back to Emmerdale to die, new fan theory predicts

    Joe Tate made a surprise return to Emmerdale on Christmas Eve, but fans suspect there is a sad reason for why he came back.

    Joe left the Dales in 2018 and he was presumed dead. He was later revealed to be alive and living abroad.

    Last year he was unmasked as being the mystery man working with Kim Tate‘s financial advisor in a bid to bring her down. But fans believe he has really returned home to die.

    Joe Tate in Emmerdale

    Joe is the son of Chris Tate and Rachel Hughes, and the half brother of Noah Dingle. His parents died when he was young, making his aunt Zoe Tate his legal guardian. Zoe, Joe and Zoe’s daughter Jean left the village in 2005.

    He then returned as an adult 12 years later. At first he used a false name and started a relationship with Debbie Dingle as part of his revenge plan against Charity Dingle. Joe blamed Charity for driving his dad to suicide.

    In 2018, it appeared as if Joe Tate had died after being punched by Cain Dingle and hitting his head. Graham put Joe into the boot of his car and later told Kim that Joe had been taken care of.

    However, viewers saw Joe’s hand twitch. It was later revealed that Joe was not dead and was in fact living abroad off of Kim’s money.

    Six years on, Joe has returned yet again. Still played by Ned Porteous, Joe made his big entrance on Christmas Eve. It was revealed that Joe was actually the one pulling the strings behind Will and Peter’s plans to bring down Kim.

    Joe informed Kim that Will had been plotting behind her back. He also claimed that he and Peter had simply gone along with it as a joke to see how far Will would go.

    After lying for Kim to the police about Will’s death, Joe appears to have his feet under the table at Home Farm. But fans are convinced there is more to his return after he was shown in pain, struggling to breathe and taking medication.

    Joe Tate death fan theory

    Fans took to social media to speculate about why Joe needs the medication. Joe also caused concern in Monday’s episode when he asked for painkillers for a really bad headache.

    One fan wrote on Instagram: “I’m beginning to wonder if Joe came back to Emmerdale to die?!?!? A headache is never just a headache on a soap.”

    A second fan said: “I think Joe got what Chris had.” Joe’s dad Chris was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour and he later took his own life. A third fan replied to the comment, writing: “I bet if Joe’s got a brain tumour like Chris, he will be terminal like Chris. He kills himself like Chris did, to frame Kim for his ‘murder’ for revenge like Chris did with Charity.”

    Over on X, another fan asked: “What IS wrong with Joe? I’m worrying if it’s caused by the head injury he sustained when he left, or if it’s a family thing with his heart?”

  • 4 convincing theories looking at what’s wrong with Joe Tate on Emmerdale – Transplant to brain tumour like his dad

    4 convincing theories looking at what’s wrong with Joe Tate on Emmerdale – Transplant to brain tumour like his dad

    Something is clearly wrong with Joe Tate in Emmerdale as he’s been seen popping pills after struggling, but what is it?

    He’s come back to the village a new man, same face but different personality it seems. He’s actually being nice to Kim, which is somewhat concerning…

    But, has he really gained some morals? Perhaps ill health has made him see the light at long last. As we ponder that possibility, here are four huge theories as to what could be up with Joe.

    Is he looking for a donor? (Credit: ITV)

    1. Transplant

    Joe doesn’t look to be very well, clearly taken some sort of medication for a reason. One theory is that he’s got an illness like leukaemia and has returned to the village in the hope of finding a transplant donor.

    Noting that Joe has recently been in touch with Jamie, one fan reckoned that Jamie wasn’t a match so now he’s working his way round the family in the hopes of finding someone to save him.

    One fan wrote: “Joe suddenly getting in touch with Jamie was to get him tested and obviously he wasn’t a match. Jamie left Emmerdale before Caleb came and Jamie talks to no one in the village but Joe knew of Caleb’s existence. He mentioned him to Charity. He has done his research. Caleb (and Noah) could be a potential match.

    “I think it’ll be Caleb (not Noah).”

    Another fan added: “That’s my guess – leukaemia, he’s had some chemotherapy, but now needs a bone marrow transplant. So he’s looking for a close relative who could be a match.”

    Could something really serious be the matter? (Credit: ITV)

    Emmerdale Joe Tate 2. Brain Tumour

    Another theory is that Joe could have a brain tumour and actually be dying. He might therefore be back in the village to make amends with Kim before he passes.

    This would mean that Joe would have the same illness that his father Chris Tate had.

    Before his original exit, one fan reckoned that Joe could have a brain tumour.

    “Joe Tate is so delusional, wonder whether he’s got a brain tumour like his dad Chris had?”

    If he kept this a secret all this time but his condition had gotten progressively worse, has he felt forced back into the village now that he’s received a worrying prognosis perhaps?

    Emmerdale's Joe serious
    Is he hiding something troubling? (Credit: ITV)

    Emmerdale Joe Tate 3. Heart defect

    We all know that Frank Tate died of a heart attack. It is possible that Joe also has a problem with his heart, which would make sense as to why he recognised the signs of Will’s heart attack.

    He was also seen taking medication in some obvious pain, which could be linked to the heart. This may be why Joe felt the need to help Will, as he also runs the risk of having a heart attack himself due to a defect. Unless, something else is wrong with Joe?…

    Joe serious
    Has Joe been driven to addiction? (Credit: ITV)

    4. Addiction

    Perhaps, when Joe was seen taking medication it was actually down to an addiction he’s developed. Before Joe left the Dales previously, he’d suffered a right attack by Cain which was so bad that Cain had presumed that he’d died.

    Could he now be taking medication to manage that initial pain from his run-in with Cain all those years ago?

    Just what is wrong with Joe?

  • Caleb and Ruby to both die this year after Romeo and Juliet clue, fan theory fears

    Caleb and Ruby to both die this year after Romeo and Juliet clue, fan theory fears

    Emmerdale fans are concerned that Caleb and Ruby could die following a comment about them being the modern day Romeo and Juliet.

    In Monday’s episode (Monday, January 6) Caleb reminisced about he and Ruby having to sneak around. Now fans are worried that this could be a clue of what is to come.

    Both Caleb and Ruby have proven to be popular characters since joining the ITV soap. But could the end be near for them?

    What happened in Emmerdale?

    Following the revelation that Anthony Fox sexually abused daughter Ruby when she was a teenage, there has been lots of hints that Steph might not be Caleb’s daughter.

    In a recent episode of Emmerdale, Caleb Miligan once against spoke about the time Steph was conceived.

    Playing Made of Stone by the Stone Roses, he grabbed Ruby as he told her “it’s our song”.

    While Steph mocked her parents for listening to old music, Caleb informed her that the song was the soundtrack to her being here. “There we were, me and your mum, playing tunes like this and sneaking around. Hiding in corners and well several things lead to several other things,” he told a mortified Steph.

    During this time, Anthony had made his way into the room and was watching on. Caleb spotted him and added: “And you know what? It was all to avoid the disapproval of someone not a million miles from here.”

    Anthony then said: “I guess you were the modern day Romeo and Juliet,” with Caleb agreeing that yes they were.

    Emmerdale Fan theory predicts sad ending for Caleb and Ruby

    Following the episode, a fan took to social media to question if there was a deeper meaning to the Romeo and Juliet comment.

    “Erm ‘Modern day Romeo & Juliet’ comment in tonight’s Emmerdale… that better not be a hint to Caleb and Ruby both dying later this year. Ruby is one of the best things to happen to Emmerdale in a long time, so I’ll be raging,” they wrote on X.

    Another fan agreed and added: “Well we know from the flashforword, Caleb will be in hospital and at death’s door.”

    Could this theory become a reality?

  • Will is definitely dead – all the evidence as fans refuse to believe his demise is real

    Will is definitely dead – all the evidence as fans refuse to believe his demise is real

    Emmerdale fans are refusing to believe that Will Taylor is dead despite the evidence stacking up that the character has indeed passed away.

    Will died after having a heart attack on Christmas Day. But fans are still convinced his death was a set up.

    Along with his death being shown on screen, actor Dean Andrews has also posted a goodbye message. Yet this isn’t enough to convince some viewers that Will will not be returning to the soap.

    Will dies in Emmerdale

    In the lead up to his death, Will had been plotting with financial advisor Peter to bring Kim Tate down. Following Joe Tate’s surprise return, he revealed all to Kim about her husband’s plan.

    Will tried to defend himself, but the Christmas Day episode ended with him clutching his chest. In the Boxing Day episode, Kim watched on sceptically, believing Will was faking the heart attack for sympathy.

    It was only when Joe returned to Home Farm that Kim finally realised Will was in desperate need of medical attention and she started to help him.

    Kim called 999 and followed instructions to try and save his life. Paramedics soon arrived, but they quickly realised nothing could be done and Will was pronounced dead.

    Since then, Will’s daughter Dawn has suspected that Joe could be involved in her dad’s death. But following a call from the coroner, who confirmed Will died of natural causes, Dawn apologised to Joe.

    However, scenes showing Will dead on the floor and the coroner’s report are still not enough to convince some fans that Will isn’t coming back.

    Dean Taylor shares exit message

    Following some speculation that Will is still alive, actor Dean Andrews posted a video on Instagram to shut down the fan theory.

    “Hi everyone – Dean Andrews here,” he said.

    “I just wanted to come on to thank everybody that has sent messages regarding my departure from Emmerdale. There was a little conjecture as to whether Will was dead – he is dead, he’s gone. I’ve been left for around seven or eight weeks.

    “I’d been there for around five-and-a-half years, and in that [time] I worked with some really lovely people – some amazing crew and my little family along the way have always been lovely to work with so I thoroughly enjoyed it. But it’s time to move on, and move on we shall.”

    Fans refuse to believe Will is dead

    Despite the death being shown on screen, including paramedics declaring Will dead, and the actor’s goodbye message, fans still believe there is a twist.

    After Dawn spoke to the coroner on the phone, fans took to social media to claim the call had been fake.

    “I bet it wasn’t the coroner on the phone,” said one fan, while another added: “I bet he is alive and it was all a set up.”

    A third fan said: “Will has definitely set his death up with Joe, they are going to wreak havoc in Home Farm.”

    A fourth fan said: “The thing I find odd is that in real life a post mortem would take a while as would dates for a funeral.”

    “I don’t believe he is dead. I’ve said that all along. They are trying to set Kim up,” wrote a fifth fan. While a sixth simply said: “I smell a rat.”

    What more evidence do fans need?!

    Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Cash-strapped Donna agrees to be a surrogate for Viv and Bob

    Donna Windsor comes to her mother’s rescue in Classic Emmerdale spoilers for ITV3 today – offering to be the surrogate for Viv and Bob’s child. This comes as she and Marlon win a dream house in the village prize draw, but are unable to afford the deposit.

    Going to her mum, Donna offers to be their surrogate in exchange for the deposit money. This comes after Viv already asked a horrified Kelly, only to have her hopes dashed by Kelly and Bob.

    Elsewhere, a vengeful Cain has words with Jimmy, and Debbie manipulates her way into a new job.

    These episodes originally aired on June 29 and 30 2006.

    Donna makes mum Viv an offer in Classic Emmerdale spoilers

    Donna and Marlon discover that they have won a house in a prize draw. However, they are shocked to learn that they will have to pay a £6000 deposit. After failing to borrow the money, they are left with nowhere to turn.

    Meanwhile, Viv and Bob are dismayed to discover both the precarious legal position and enormous cost of surrogacy. Later that evening, Donna finds Viv, drunk and in tears.

    After Edna criticises the idea of surrogacy, Donna leaps to her mother’s defence. She offers to be surrogate herself – if only Viv and Bob will pay their housing deposit.

    Later, Donna tells a shocked Marlon that she plans on becoming Viv and Bob’s surrogate. After calming him down, she assures him that this will get them their dream house.

    Things smoothed over, they hand over the deposit cheque for the house to Carl.
