Emmerdale brings Leyla back one final time, confirming killing her off was a â€˜mistakeâ€™

Emmerdale fans already weren’t happy over Leyla Harding’s death, but they’ve branded it as a huge ‘mistake’ once again after last night (Thursday, March 6).

In a huge twist, Leyla’s funeral episode aired a special voiceover, with Leyla narrating her own send-off.

With Leyla making sure that she was the star of the show in life and death, fans reckon these scenes have confirmed that her death was an extremely bad decision.

Leyla’s funeral episode

Last night in the Dales, the villagers (and viewers) were left teary-eyed as Leyla narrated her own funeral.

She made sure she was remembered in style, with six men carrying her gold coffin. She even made ex-husband Liam read a eulogy to her, in a super awkward but memorable moment.

Afterwards, at her wake, it turned out that Leyla had even left messages to her loved ones. Jacob’s reminded him to use moisturiser…

In another huge moment, it was then revealed that Leyla had actually take not one, not two… but three secrets to the grave.

Proving that she was the heart and soul of the village, intertwined in everyone’s lives until the very end, she caught Tracy pocketing money from the shop.

She then walked in on Mary kissing Suzy, and also rumbled Manpreet’s saucy online side-hustle…

Emmerdale fans brand Leyla death huge ‘mistake’ once more

When Leyla sadly died in the limo crash last month, fans made their devastation known. They thought the soap’s decision to kill off the long-running character was a bad decision.

And now, with Leyla having one last moment to shine in her (and, oh sorry, Amy’s) funeral episode, fans reckon these scenes have cemented the decision to kill off Leyla being a massive mistake. They think that Leyla being alive to spill all of the secrets would’ve been much more enjoyable.

One fan commented: “This episode is confirming that killing off Leyla and Suzy was a massive mistake.”

Another person shared: “Itâ€™s increasingly obvious that killing off Amy, Leyla and Suzy is one of the all-time worst decisions.”

A third person added: “I do feel sorry for Leyla. Should have caused some chaos with the secrets being spilled. Weâ€™ve been robbed.”

Is Arthur the dad of April’s baby in Emmerdale? Fans sure they’ve spotted ‘hint’ despite him being gay

The mystery in Emmerdale of who the dad of April’s baby doesn’t seem to be a huge concern on the show. April gave her explanations and then it was dropped.

But viewers can’t help but wonder if what she said was lies, and that she did know who the dad of the baby was.

Initially there were a lot of theories, where fans believed she was covering for someone because she was scared of Marlon’s reaction. But now, some fans think the baby daddy may be closer to home..

What has April said about her baby’s dad?

When April was found after almost six-weeks of living on the streets, everyone wanted to know who got her pregnant.

Marlon, Rhona and Ross were all ready to track him down. Although, to do that they needed April to give them a name.

However, it seems that even April didn’t fully know the answer to that. As she explained that she was drunk at a party and slept with a random guy that was there.

She was scared of how it looked to everyone, but not long after it, it was never mentioned again.

But in Emmerdale this week Laurel commented on how April hasn’t been to see Arthur yet, leading some fans to wonder if this was a hint.

Is Arthur the dad of April’s baby in Emmerdale?

Laurel headed over to April and told her that Arthur would love to see her, and April said she would “maybe” come over for dinner some time. But the hesitation on her face was clear.

Fans took to reddit to discuss the possibility that April and Arthur may have slept together, and now she doesn’t want to face him.

One wrote: “Am I the only one who finds it odd that April has been back a month and lives about five doors away from Arthur, but she hasn’t responded to him. And she hasn’t seen him at all in that time? I think in a weird twist he might be the baby’s father.”

However, one huge issue with the theory is that Arthur is gay, and had his own coming out storyline. So if this came true, it would kind of ruin his own character arc – which others point out.

A viewer commented: “I don’t want that. I am sick of the whole ‘gay guy sleeps with a woman in a moment of madness and gets her pregnant’ storyline. It’s not realistic.”

Others have called for Arthur to begin a romance with April’s friend, Dylan.Â

Another added: “This would be infuriating. I would much rather Arthur hook up with Dylan instead. That could be a potentially good storyline for him.”

Joe’s doctor is hiding something in Emmerdale- all the theories on what he’s really after

When Emmerdale brought back Joe Tate it was clear that he was hiding a mystery illness that requires an on-call doctor. And nearly three full months later, we still don’t know what it actually is.

But recent episodes gave us more of an insight as he got progressively worse and called for his doctor. But Dr Crowley didn’t seem like any normal doctor. He has been visiting Joe in the evenings, checking up on him during the days. Anyone would think he’s the new Graham.

He told Joe that he needed to stop his affair with Dawn (hasn’t really gone to plan). And on one occasion used whatever was in Joe’s black small suitcase to make him feel temporarily better – leading viewers to believe he has kidney failure. But could the mystery doctor be in Joe’s life for another, more sinister reason?

Viewers are now suspicious about Joe’s doctors true intentions are. And even think he may be more than a doctor to him. But what exactly could he be hiding?

What is Joe’s mystery illness? (Credit: ITV)

Tate connection?

Some fans think Dr Crowley and Joe may actually be related. And if that’s true, and the doc is somehow connected to the Tate family, then maybe he is up to his own con. Could he have his own plan in motion to take over Home Farm?

Taking to a reddit thread, one fan theorised: “Something is telling me that he isn’t really a doctor, or he has ties to the Tate’s. Why would he help Joe and go to so much length and secrecy to do so? How come he only Joe has seen him?

The relationship between Joe and Crowley seems a bit closer than doctor and patient? I wonder if the reason he hasn’t been seen with other characters yet is because someone might recognise him?”

Dodgy doc

Another popular theory seems to be that he isn’t a doctor at all and is actually pretending that he is to Joe for money.

Knowing Joe, he is probably paying a lot of money for Dr Crowley. So if he finds out this whole time he hasn’t been honest with him, it will sure cause some chaos.

One fan suggested: “I think he could be conning Joe, pretending to be a doctor when he isn’t really.” And another agreed: “That would be so good. Conning the conner.”

What his exact motive would be is unknown, but are we about to find out there’s more than meets the eye?

Another fan believes this is a likely situation, and that the medication he is giving Joe may actually be making him sicker.

They wrote: “He could giving pills to Joe that are making him more ill. To ensure that Joe is dependant on him (and get money).”

What is he hiding? (Credit: ITV)

Secret relationship?

This one feels a bit of a reach. But some fans think his need for Joe and Dawn to stop their affair is actually because he is jealous.

This theory doesn’t seem too plausible considering if this was the case, Joe could have just avoided Dawn for good. So maybe even if it isn’t a proper relationship, could Dr Crowley have a crush on him?..

One fan noticed: “I wondered whether he was a lover of sorts. He uses ‘we’ a lot, but a doctor would more likely say ‘you’.”

A second viewer added: “I did think after last week that there might be a romance going on. Purely based on the way he spoke to him.”

Figment of imagination

Another popular theory is Dr Crowley actually isn’t real. And instead is just purely in Joe’s imagination.

As fans have pointed out, only Joe has ever seen him. And he seems to appear right when Joe needs him the most then disappears for a while.

The same reddit thread suggested: “It’s also a possibility that Joe is imagining him and he isn’t really there?”

It could suggest that Joe’s illness is actually deteriorating quicker than anyone would like. And maybe, he is running out of time.

Whatever his connection is, it’s time we found out the truth – before it’s too late!

Emmerdale: Was Leyla murdered in chaos of limo crash? All the motives and suspects in compelling new fan theory

A new Emmerdale fan theory has emerged, suggesting that Leyla Harding could have been murdered amid the chaos of the limo crash. This comes as the soap revealed that Leyla took a clutch of secrets to the grave – including those of her fellow limo passengers.

As the village gathered for Leyla’s funeral (or at least those who weren’t at Amy’s), three flashbacks played out – showing Leyla as she stumbled across three shocking secrets hidden by Suzy, Manpreet and Tracy.

Could one of those secrets have been the death of Leyla?

Leyla murdered in limo crash, wild new Emmerdale fan theory suggests

Writing on a Reddit thread in the wake of last night’s flashbacks, one viewer laid forth a bold new theory – positing that Leyla had in fact been murdered by one of the three guilty parties (well, maybe not Manpreet, who wasn’t even in the car).

“Maybe Leyla didn’t die as a result of the limo crash, she knew alot of secrets, maybe murder?” this fan suggested.

Leyla was killed as the limousine crashed into an ice-covered lake. Like fellow passenger Suzy, she died of injuries sustained during the initial crash – stabbed with something sharp as it careened from the road.

While she seemed fine in the moments following (unlike Suzy), Leyla passed out before she could escape. Kerry managed to drag her to safety, but she died on the way to hospital.

But was her death as cut-and-dry as it seemed? Or is someone harbouring an even darker secret?

Leyla caught Tracy pocketing money from the till (Credit: ITV)

Tracy?

A recent fan theory has already suggested that Tracy killed ex-Nate – who the soap revealed to be dead and chained up within the lake. And last night’s flashback saw Leyla catch her stealing money from Pollard’s shop.

Ashamed and desperate, Tracy was desperate to keep her secret. But how desperate? Could Tracy have stuck the knife (or another sharp implement) in as the limo crashed?

Suzy was the first to die (Credit: ITV)

Suzy?

Like Leyla, Suzy died of injuries sustained in the crash. Unlike Leyla, she never made it out of the car at all. Dying of a bang to the head as the car crashed, that would seem to rule her out of Leyla’s death.

But might she have stabbed Leyla in the moments before her own death? She too was hiding a secret – she was in love with Mary, and planning to leave Vanessa. But, let’s face it, Vanessa would have found out as soon as Suzy dumped her… so probably not.

And besides, we seriously doubt she’d off her own friend and co-worker, no matter how desperate she might be.

Would any of the women really have cause to kill Leyla? (Credit: ITV)

Charity, Chas, Liam, Amy, Kerry or Vanessa?

Also in the car were Charity, Chas, Liam, Amy, Kerry and Vanessa. Given that Charity was driving at the time, that would rule her out – even if she was inadvertently responsible for Leyla’s death.

That leaves Amy and Kerry, Chas and Liam, and Vanessa. Out of everyone, there’s not a particularly strong motive left – not unless the soap is planning on yet another flashback.

Consider this one debunked… probably.

Emmerdale spoilers: ITVX early release reveals Manpreet’s ‘dirty little secret’ – but who is blackmailing her?

*Warning: Emmerdale spoilers follow from the Friday March 7 episode, which is available now on ITVX, but has not yet aired on ITV*

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Friday, March 7 – streaming now on ITVX) reveals what exactly Manpreet Sharma has been hiding. As her blackmail continues, she reveals to Ella that she’s been posting intimate pictures of herself online.

Feeling miserable after her split from Charles, Manpreet boosted her confidence by posting pictures to her social media. After one of her followers suggested she open a subscription site, Manpreet took things to the next level. She’d felt validated and empowered at first – but things took a darker turn when someone began texting, claiming to know her secret.

Who’s got it in for Manpreet? (Credit: ITV)

Manpreet’s blackmail continues in Emmerdale spoilers tonight

She and Ella delete the profile, but that doesn’t make a difference to her blackmailer – who texts immediately, sending screenshots of the pics to her mobile, along with the threatening message ‘ONE WORD TO THE POLICE AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW YOUR SECRET.’

This came as the mystery third party continued to text her menacing messages, all claiming to know her ‘dirty little secret.’ As last night’s episode revealed, Leyla knew what Manpreet had been up to – having walked in on her at her computer in the surgery. But with Leyla dead, she’s not on the list of suspects.

But who’s blackmailing Manpreet – and what might this mean for her, professionally speaking?

What does Manpreet’s secret mean for her career?

As she shares her worries with Ella tonight, Manpreet stresses about the damage scandal might do to her career.

“Imagine if it gets out online, in the local newspaper, all about the dodgy doc who gets her kit off. I can kiss any hero status goodbye,” she tells Ella.

“I have a reputation to protect and patients to look after,” she continues.

And that’s not to mention the risk to her job. Fearing that the medical board would deem her risquÃ© online activities ‘inappropriate,’ she may be at very real risk of losing her job.

She was a shoulder to cry on, but is Ella secretly Manpreet’s tormentor? (Credit: ITV)

Is Ella blackmailing Manpreet?

As Manpreet’s confidante, Ella is there in her time of need. But, with actress Paula Lane set to leave the soap over the coming weeks, she likely has a big story beckoning before she goes.

A big twist to the tale would be that it’s Ella behind Manpreet’s torment. Impressive work, given that the texts were still coming in as she sat with Manpreet, but whoever it was did catch on to the profile being deleted awfully fast…

Billy and Manpreet have history (Credit: ITV)

Could it be Billy?

Another suspect could be Billy, who Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal begins to show an interest in Manpreet after starting to feel rejected by Dawn.

Billy and Manpreet have history, after she attempted to kiss him last year during a drunken fumble. Both parties seemed to move on, but with Billy increasingly sidelined by Dawn’s new man, might he take out his frustrations on poor Manpreet?

As it is, an early fan theory emerged suggesting that the texts could be from someone onto a ‘secret romance’ between Manpreet and Billy. Consider that theory debunked, but is Billy involved in her blackmail?

Let’s face it… probably not (Credit: ITV)

Fans are begging for Meena to return

Wishful thinking, this one, but fans have been holding out for a return from Manpreet’s sister, the murderous Meena Jutla. With all that time on her hands in prison, could Meena have stumbled across Manpreet’s online activities and begun blackmailing her?

An unlikely prospect, perhaps, but a quite delicious one regardless.

Fans praise Emmerdale for â€˜beautifulâ€™ episode as Leyla and Amy are remembered by grieving loved ones

Leyla Harding and Amy Barton were remembered as Emmerdale aired their funerals last night (Thursday, March 6).

Throughout the episode, Leyla provided a voiceover from beyond the grave, narrating her own funeral. She always was the star of her own show, after all.

Amy was also given a lovely tribute, with her floral funeral being held in the woods. Even Chip the Dog came to pay his respects. And fans have now praised the soap for an ’emotional’ yet ‘beautiful’ episode.

Leyla and Amy’s funeral episode in Emmerdale

Last night saw both Leyla and Amy be laid to rest following their deaths in the recent limo crash. Leyla made sure that she was given a send-off fitting for her personality, narrating her own funeral.

Leyla being Leyla, she’d planned her own funeral, despite only being 40 when she died. She’d instructed for six hunks to carry her gold-painted coffin into the church, with her ex-husband Liam giving quite an awkward eulogy to the previous ‘love of his life’ in front on fiancÃ©e Chas.

Meanwhile, in the woods, Amy was given a peaceful send-off herself as Matty teared up during his eulogy. However, tensions between Matty and Cain threatened to ruin the tribute.

Near to the end of the episode, it was then revealed through a series of flashbacks that Leyla had actually taken several secrets of other villagers’ to the grave.

She’d caught Tracy stealing money from the shop, before walking in on Suzy and Mary kissing. And just to add another secret to her belt, she’d also caught Manpreet posting something rather saucy online…

Fans loved the episode (Credit: ITV)

Fans praise soap for ‘beautiful’ tribute to Leyla and Amy

After the unique and rather different episode that aired last night, fans have taken to social media to praise the soap for the scenes.

It’s safe to say that they’ve been left rather satisfied by the ‘beautiful’ tribute to the much-loved, late characters.

One fan commented: “So many beautiful moments – Leyla’s funeral is her down to a tee whilst Amy’s was also beautiful – the flashbacks were interesting as well especially Tracy & Manpreet’s ones.”

Another fan agreed: “What a beautiful send off for Amy and Leyla. Both women took plenty of secrets to the grave with them.”

A third viewer added: “Emmerdale sure know how to do an emotional episode like the one tonight.”

Another person shared: “Just caught up on this now, what a great episode, loved it. The way it was done with Leylaâ€™s monologue throughout, and the secrets and liesâ€¦.well done all.”

A final viewer finished: “What a fantastic episode of Emmerdale today! A mix of sadness, reflection and revelations all with an honest and heartfelt monologue by Leyla. Not a dry eye, I’m sure! Well done to all involved.”

Leyla and Suzy’s deaths leave Emmerdale fans fuming all over again as flashbacks air: ‘Should have been done on screen’

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale saw a return to screens for the late Leyla Harding and Suzy Merton in a series of flashbacks. Killed in last month’s horrific limousine crash, Leyla and Suzy have been mourned by those who loved them, including Leyla’s son Jacob and Suzy’s two adoring admirers (one, it became clear, without the other’s knowledge).

And, as the village laid Leyla and Amy Barton to rest tonight, the soap aired three flashbacks to the days leading up to their deaths. One after the other, three bombshells dropped, revealing the secrets Leyla had been party to before she died.

And what doozies they were!

Tracy, we learned, has been pocketing money from the till Meanwhile, Suzy was planning on leaving Vanessa after declaring her feelings for Mary.

And, in the third revelation, Leyla walked in on Manpreet and caught her looking at risquÃ© images of herself (on a work computer? For shame!). This would explain Manpreet’s blackmail woes, as it appears Leyla isn’t the only one who knows her secret.

Did Mary and Suzy deserve more? (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale flashbacks weren’t enough, fans slam

Writing on social media as the flashbacks aired, fans shared their thoughts on these revelations. And many were left unsatisfied, feeling as though Suzy and Mary’s relationship deserved more than a short flashback.

“Just watched today’s Emmerdale. And gutted all over again at the choice to kill off Leyla & Suzy. The Suzy/Mary relationship should have been explored way back instead of them shoving Suzy with Vanessa and then massively underusing the character!” wrote one fan.

“One short flashback scene is all writers would commit to Mary & Suzy, a human interest storyline that deserved to be beautifully told,” said another.

“Mary and Suzy???? That’s taken me out more than the fact Emmerdale didn’t show this infidelity In real time? What’s the matter with them? They usually love to show it,” said another.

Has the soap wasted an opportunity in its flashback revelations?

Mary, Tracy and Manpreet’s secrets ‘exposed’ – everything we know about what comes next

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Thursday, March 6) revealed that Tracy, Mary and Manpreet have all been hiding some pretty big secrets from their family and friends. As a series of flashbacks exposed three secrets Leyla had taken to her grave, viewers learned what exactly the three villagers had been hiding.

In the first flashback, Leyla caught Tracy red-handing stealing money from Pollard’s shop. As she confronted her, Tracy admitted that she’d had no child support money from Nate (not surprising, given he’s currently dead at the bottom of a lake) and that she’d stolen Â£2k worth of takings from Pollard to make ends meet.

Then, in the second, she walked in to find Mary and Suzy kissing. Suzy had just admitted her feelings to Mary, and was planning on dumping Vanessa so that they can be together.

And, in the third, Leyla found Manpreet in front of her computer at work. Seeing what was on the screen, she realised that Manpreet had quite the online presence. And, in the present day, a mystery message showed that someone else knows too…

But what happens next?

What happens next as the secrets of Mary, Tracy and Manpreet are revealed

While Leyla has taken these secrets to her grave, it’s unlikely that they’ll stay buried for long. And with Mary still pining for lost love Suzy – while also attempting to support Vanessa – how long can she keep quiet about the true nature of their relationship?

Emmerdale spoilers for next week haven’t said whether she continues to keep quiet, but with Suzy’s funeral still to come, she may yet be tested as emotions continue to build.

Meanwhile, with Manpreet receiving threatening messages claiming to know what she’s been up to, she too will have to work to keep her secret hidden.

And, Nate still being very dead, Tracy’s money situation will surely only worsen. And with Leyla now silenced, will she be tempted to continue stealing from Pollard?

Itâ€™s Suzyâ€™s funeral and Mary struggles to balance her guilt with her sense of loss. After the funeral, she overhears Vanessa tell Charity what a rock she’s been over the last few weeks.

Listening in, Mary’s guilt only grows. Will she come clean about her feelings for Suzy – and Suzy’s own plans to break up with Vanessa?

Will he too learn her secret?

Pollard’s on to Tracy?

Is he onto her? And, if so, how will he react?

Did Emmerdale just hint at Pollard’s death? Fears soap legend is next to be killed off after Leyla note

Emmerdale could have just hinted at Eric Pollard‘s death after Leyla’s message from the grave.

Back in 2023 Pollard was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. He initially pushed his family away, but eventually accepted support.

With his health in decline, could an Emmerdale exit be imminent?

Leyla sends Pollard a message from the grave

Whilst in the midst of a drug addiction years ago, Leyla Harding feared she might die, so she wrote letters and planned her funeral.

Although her death came about as a result of a limo crash rather than drugs, the funeral plans were still used.

It was an especially emotional day for Pollard, who saw Leyla and fellow victim Amy as daughters. He shared with Tracy that he felt guilty for still being alive.

“Incredible, isn’t it? Doddery old fella like me past his threescore and ten, and I’m burying two bright, vibrant young people. I shall never understand this life,” he said.

At the wake, it was revealed that Leyla really had gone to town on the planning and many of the guests received their own fortune cookie containing personalised messages.Â

Pollard opened his fortune cookie to reveal the message: “See you soon.” He jokingly responded, “cheek!”

Did Emmerdale hint at Pollard’s death?

Viewers know that back in 2023, Pollard was diagnosed with Parkinson’s after experiencing numbness and tingling.

Since then, the story has been revisited on various occasions, with producer Laura Shaw explaining: “The unique position of a show like Emmerdale means we can tell this story really authentically over a long period of time and we can really shine a light on what a diagnosis like this means and follow Pollard on his journey of learning to live with it.”

Scenes towards the end of last year had fans concerned that the end was near for Emmerdale’s longest serving character after there was a shortage in the medication Pollard needed.
