What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Steph found out ‘the truth’ about Anthony as Laurel became even more unbearable

The village got wind of what Anthony Fox is in Emmerdale tonight and it sent Marlon spiralling. As Laurel continued to make things worse with her wittering, Steph found out her grandad was an abuser – but not the whole truth.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Friday January 31.

A version of the truth about Anthony was revealed to Steph in Emmerdale tonight

Caleb wanted him and Ruby to move on. But then the police turned up to talk about missing Anthony.

The cops told Ruby and Caleb what Laurel had said and asked them if they knew where Anthony was. Ruby stuck to the story that Anthony was a free spirit.

When Steph came home, Ruby filled her in on what had happened between Anthony and Laurel. She also told Steph Anthony was capable of violence and that he had abused her when she was a kid – but she didn’t mention the sexual abuse. Ruby claimed he used to beat her.

Steph did not believe her. She refused to entertain the idea and once again stormed off.

Ruby found Steph on a bridge and told her she wasn’t lying. Steph eventually believed her and the two reconciled. The truth obviously hit Steph hard though – so how much longer before she finds out the whole truth?

She later lashed out at Nicola and Laurel about making up lies and they dropped Chas right in it. Caleb assured Chas it would all be fine, but she is sure the house of cards they’ve built will come crashing down sooner rather than later.

And this is Soapland, so chances are Chas is right.

As this storyline continues to get more and more frustrating someone please just tell Steph the truth, we’d all just be a lot happier then. Well, maybe not Steph, but the viewers at least.

The news about Anthony being an abuser made Marlon incredibly suspicious (Credit: ITV)

Laurel continued to make things worse as Marlon got suspicious

Laurel had been questioned by the police over her confession and released on caution. But she was still wittering on about her guilt. Someone send her on holiday.

She then confided in Bob, which was a mistake because he immediately told the entire Woolpack that there were suspicions Anthony was a paedophile. He thought it might be relevant to April’s disappearance. And so it’s all blown up because Marlon now thinks Anthony has gone missing with April. Nice one, Bob.

Marlon stormed round to see Laurel, he was fuming no one had told him. Laurel insisted they were wrong about Anthony, but Marlon knew something wasn’t right – it’s about time someone realised it, we just never thought it would be Marlon!

Meanwhile, Caleb, Chas, Aaron and John had a secret meeting in the pub back room to make sure they were all covering their tracks. And then Marlon stormed in wanting answers. Caleb tried to talk him down, but Marlon still didn’t believe him. Although he agreed to trust him, Marlon isn’t going to let this go.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Bob was feeling brighter and he thanked Eric for helping him see sense. He and Pollard clearly now share a bond.

So too do Eric and Kerry, who insisted he do yoga with her. The two unlikely friends cemented their status as Eric called her family.

What time is Emmerdale on tonight? Why you won’t find it at 7.30pm

ITV soaps have has been hit with a change to their usual schedule time on Friday January 31- so what time is Emmerdale on tonight?

By now we all know the usual time slot for Emmerdale is 7.30pm on ITV. But that won’t be when you can watch it tonight.

It’s been a dramatic week in the Dales, and we expect the fallout fromÂ Ruby’s revelation last night will play a key part. So make sure you don’t miss the schedule change – as it will air half an hour earlier.

What time is Emmerdale on tonight?

Emmerdale tonight will now air at 7pm, half an hour earlier. This is because of the Rugby Six Nations.

While the match doesn’t kick off until 8.30pm, coverage begins an hour earlier, kicking Emmerdale out of it’s usual spot.

As it’s the first match of the league, we can expect there may be more Emmerdale schedule changes in the coming weeks. Coronation Street is also affected and that won’t air at all.

Of course the episode is already available to view on ITVX, so viewers can actually watch it whenever they like!

What happens in Emmerdale tonight?

In last night’s episode we saw the truth come out about what actually happened to Anthony.

While up until now viewers were expected to believe Aaron killed him (nobody really believed that, though), it turns out it was actually Ruby.

She found Anthony in the Depot after Aaron had beat him up. And when he tried to touch her, she saw him for the monster he was, and killed him. But when Caleb went to clear the evidence up, he saw John and Aaron had beaten him to it.

So, when Aaron heard this, he, John, Caleb and Ruby all formed a plan on how to keep it quiet. But Laurel had to ruin everything by going to the police station.

We can expect tonight will see the fallout of the reveal, and also of Laurel’s decision.

Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight, Marlon is still determined to find April. But so far, the search has not been going well at all.

And as there still is no update, Marlon makes the decision to raise the reward for information. But all he really manages to do is cause more concern from Rhona, Mary and Ross.

Ruby’s abuse trauma has us gripped, but Marlon’s too much – OPINION

Our Emmerdale review this week is mostly about just one thing, because the revelation that Ruby Fox-Miligan’s dad, Anthony, is the father of her daughter, Steph, has made every other story pale into insignificance.

We’re still reeling about this huge storyline and we’re wondering what will happen next.

So here’s what we thought of everything that happened this week in our Emmerdale review.

Ruby couldn’t face opening the results and decided she was better not knowing but Caleb found them anyway (Credit: ITV)

Ruby Fox-Miligan’s torment in Emmerdale

Can we take a moment to appreciate the absolute brilliance of Beth Cordingly (who plays Ruby) this week? Her performance has been amazing. And that goes hand in hand with Nicholas Day, who plays Anthony, as the creepiest, most sinister villain to ever walk the streets of the village.

When Anthony was watching Ruby sleep in the B&B we were almost weeping with the tension of it all. And when Ruby woke up, terrified, we felt even worse! And then she stood up to her abusive father, and we were cheering. There’s no doubt this storyline is a rollercoaster of emotions!

Ruby telling Caleb was also a masterpiece. The way she held it together as he was gently asking questions, before completely breaking down, really tugged at our heartstrings.

We’re heartbroken for Ruby, and for Steph when she inevitably finds out about her real parentage, and we want to see Anthony face justice. Which sort of leads to the second point of our Emmerdale review…

Of course Caleb’s made this all about himself (Credit: ITV)

Caleb making it all about him – again

“This is not your battle,” Ruby warned Caleb as she stopped him hunting down Anthony. Ruby’s spent her whole life trying to protect daughter Steph from her rapist father, and she isn’t planning to stop any time soon. She knew that if Caleb went storming out into the village, shouting about what Anthony did, the repercussions would be enormous.

So what did Caleb do? Oh he just got himself a gun. Brilliant. What on EARTH are you thinking, Caleb. Seriously, is there one man in Emmerdale who isn’t oozing with toxic masculinity and totally self-obsessed?

We want Anthony to pay for what he did to Ruby in Emmerdale – but in court (Credit: ITV)

What’s next for Ruby and Anthony in Emmerdale?

Anyway, Caleb’s massive mistake aside, we find we are slightly worried about what’s going to happen next. We know Anthony’s going to end up dead, which we’re not totally happy about. We’d much rather he faced justice and the consequences of his actions.

We’re very worried about how Steph will react. We’re worried this huge, grim, awful storyline won’t be given the attention it deserves. But most of all we can’t wait to see next week’s episodes!

Marlon’s just being horrible to everyone (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale review: Marlon’s too much

Though the enormity of Ruby’s story is all we can think about right now, there were some other things happening in the village this week.

And of course, the biggest one is that April is still missing. And we get that her dad Marlon is worried about her. We do. We understand. But OMG does he need to be SO horrible about it? We’re not sure we can cope with much more of this. He is being AWFUL and we’re not enjoying it. We wouldn’t blame Rhona one bit if she packed up Leo and Invisible Ivy and went off to be with April instead.

And while we’re on the subject of April…

Mary could be useful if she didn’t spend all her time on the nursery run (Credit: ITV)

Give Mary something to do!

It’s hard to remember now that all she does is pick up Ivy from nursery, make sandwiches and call people ‘poppet’ but when Mary first arrived, she had a backstory. And that backstory was that she had been a hotshot, hard-hitting journalist.

And we’re thinking, that maybe – just maybe – this could be handy. What with April being missing. Possibly Mary could put some of those journalist skills into use now, perhaps call up a few former colleagues, drum up a bit of interest in April’s story?

No? Oh well, just an idea. Now if you could pick up Ivy from nursery, Mary, that would be great.

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out, Wendy (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale review: Wendy’s gone!

We have hated Wendy Posner since she first arrived in Emmerdale (no reflection on Susan Cookson, who played the fake nurse – she’s terrific). So we are very glad to see the back of her. Her departure from the village was, well, uneventful, and she’s off to fake her way into a new nursing job elsewhere.

Emmerdale has a chequered history with nurses. There’s been Emma Barton, who kidnapped her ex-husband and killed her own son. Meena Jutla, the Dales’ serial killer, and now whiny Wendy, who granted wasn’t as evil as Emma or Meena, but who wasn’t actually a real nurse.

Is it wrong that we’re a bit excited to find out what dramas will arrive along with the next nurse to move to the village?!

Ross knows where missing April isâ€¦ and is secretly looking after her, new Emmerdale fan theory predicts

April in Emmerdale has been missing for more than three weeks now, and while there has been no luck in finding her, a new fan theory predicts someone close to the search might.

Before she went missing, Marlon had forced Ross to tell April that he didn’t want anything to do with her. This obviously left April reeling. But when she found out her dad was behind it – she had had enough and ran away.

She hasn’t been seen since Christmas, when we saw her get into a car willingly. But we still have no idea who was driving. And after recent episodes saw Marlon and Ross team up, fans think Ross may know more than he is letting on.

Does Ross know more about April’s disappearance? (Credit: ITV)

Could Ross have April in Emmerdale?

Ross was one of the only people April trusted. And Marlon hated that. But their feud was put to the side earlier this week, when the despairing dad realised Ross was one of the only other people who would continuously look for April.

After CCTV footage spotted April running away from something (or someone?) in Leeds, this is where Marlon decided to focus his search.

But while he was out looking, he bumped into none other than Ross. Who was coincidentally looking in the exact same area.

Then last night (January 16) Marlon was too sick to go searching. So Ross decided he could do both his area, and Marlon’s. A lot of work for one person…

This caused suspicion to arise for Emmerdale fans. And some now wonder if Ross is actually looking after April.

Fans took to social media to share this theory. And it seems a lot share the idea.

Fans share their theories

One wrote: “Could Ross be up to mischief? Actually knowing where she is and looking after April? Seemed too convenient Marlon bumping into him the other day in Leeds?”

Another added: “Does Ross know where April actually is??”

While a third penned: “Was that meeting really just a coincidence?”

As the storyline looks set to continue for a while, fans have already called for a resolution.

And while Ross has a bad boy side, could he really be keeping April’s location a secret?

The question remains, if it’s not Ross behind her disappearance, then where is April?

Marlon to die from pneumonia, Emmerdale fans convinced

Fans of Emmerdale have become convinced that an increasingly poorly-looking Marlon Dingle will die from pneumonia. This comes as he fell ill during his frantic search for daughter April, developing a nasty cough.

In a week of ups and downs for Marlon, he learned that April is alive – and living rough on the streets of Leeds. He took off in hot pursuit, finding Ross there too. The pair made amends, but April remains elusive, her whereabouts unknown.

Marlon may not have found April, but he did pick something up from on the streets – a nasty bug.

Marlon taken ill amid April search

As he swapped notes with Bob and Laurel in The Woolpack last night (Wednesday, January 15), an unwell-looking Marlon began to exhibit a nasty cough.Â As he coughed and spluttered all over the pub (seriously, cover your mouth) fans are convinced that he might have pneumonia.

This is particularly worrying, given the flash-forward the soap shared several weeks ago – one of which showed Cain Dingle weeping over a mystery grave.

Not that we’re convinced Cain would be particularly bothered at the prospect of Marlon going six feet under, but could it possibly be pneumonia-stricken Marlon in the ground?

Who’s in the grave? (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale fans convinced Marlon will die of pneumonia

Writing on X as these scenes aired, viewers shared their theories as to what’s up with Marlon. And the popular diagnosis was that of pneumonia for Marlon.

“Could it be Marlon in the grave? He could end up with pneumonia and end up dying from it. Just a theory,” predicted one fan, invoking one of the five flash-forwards.

“Marlon will end up with Pneumonia,” said another.

“All the shouting has given Marlon a bad cough now, pneumonia storyline coming soon for Marlon,” wrote a third.

“Was Marl’s pneumonia brought on by over-acting???” another joked, somewhat uncharitably.

Is Marlon at death’s door?

‘Just bring April back’ scream Emmerdale fans as storyline is being ‘dragged out’

Fans are calling for April in Emmerdale to come back, as they criticise the storyline for being ‘dragged out.’

On Christmas Day, Marlon discovered that April was not in her room. And she hasn’t been seen since.

Viewers saw her getting into a car at the end of the Christmas episode, but we remain in the dark about who the driver was.

April in Emmerdale remains missing

In the weeks that have followed, Marlon and the rest of his family, have gone on a heartbreaking search. But to no success.

After worrying that April may actually be dead, hope was given when it was confirmed that she was spotted on CCTV in Leeds.

With fresh hope, last night’s episode saw Marlon head out in a search around that area. Only he wasn’t the only one who was looking.

Ross has continued his own search for the teen, despite Marlon’s protests that it was his fault. But yesterday, saw the pair forced together on a mission to find the youngster they both care so deeply about.

Despite their team-up, April is still nowhere to be seen. And as three weeks have passed, fans are getting fed up of the storyline.

Some viewers took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their annoyance at the slow progression.

Fans are fed up with the story progression

One wrote: “I really don’t get this missing April story. It’s so boring and drawn out. There doesn’t seem to be any substance or real point.”

Another penned: “Can they just bring April back already so we don’t have to deal with this as much.”

Others took to the comment section on Emmerdale’s Instagram to give their opinions.

A viewer wrote: “We know she’s alive. It’s dragging on a bit. Just bring April back.”

Another added: “Dragging on a bit which as a result makes it boring to watch.”

However, one fan hit back, explaining the timescale is to represent real life.

They wrote: “It’s hardly dragging on. It’s only been a few weeks. They have to make it believable. These things do happen in real life so it’s a really good storyline in my opinion.”

The question is; where is April? And why hasn’t she returned home?

As April is sighted in Emmerdale 5 theories over who she was running away from

During Monday’s episode of Emmerdale, Marlon and Rhona were shown CCTV footage of April running along a street. But who was the teen running from?

April went missing over Christmas and was later shown getting into a mysterious car. Until now, there had been no sighting of April, with Marlon even starting to contemplate that his daughter could be dead.

However, the family liaison officer brought good news this week and showed Marlon footage of April running down a street in Leeds. Although the footage confirms April is alive, it’s not clear why she is running. Here are all the theories on who April could be running from in Emmerdale.

Rhona, Marlon and Mary watched CCTV footage of April (Credit: ITV)

1. April is running from a shopkeeper in Emmerdale

One eagle-eyed fan wrote on Instagram: “April had a brown paper bag in her left hand when she was running on the cctv, she could have stolen it from the shop. That could be why she’s running.”

Another fan agreed, writing: “I thought maybe she was running cause she just shoplifted or something, it looked like she had something in her hand.”

Earlier this month, April’s purse was found on a stab victim, though there was no sign of April herself. But if April is living on the streets and is now without any money, it makes sense that she might have to steal to feed herself.

2. Billy is involved

During Monday’s episode (January 13), Billy Fletcher mentioned that he had been in Leeds putting up flyers. Some fans suspect this is a clue and have accused Billy of being the one April is running from.

“I think Billy has something to do with it because he said he’d been around Leeds Central and she was filmed in Leeds Central and looks like she was running away from something or someone, just a thought,” wrote a fan on Instagram.

Billy was also involved with illegal boxing alongside Ross – a storyline that culminated in April being kidnapped by Jade last year.

3. April is running from Ross in Emmerdale

Spoilers for Tuesday’s episode of Emmerdale reveal that Marlon heads to Leeds to look for his daughter. When he sees a girl who looks like April from a distance, he heads towards her.

However, Marlon is shocked when he comes face-to-face with Ross Barton. What is he doing there and does he have anything to do with April’s disappearance?

Viewers will also remember that Ross was the one who told April the truth about her mum Donna Windsor’s death, which caused April to spiral before she disappeared. Could Ross have tracked April down and be trying to bring her home?

Did Anthony take April? (Credit: ITV)

4. Anthony is involved

Given Anthony’s history of abuse with his own daughter Ruby, it makes sense that Anthony will be an immediate suspect.

Despite the news that Anthony will be killed off in scenes next week, some viewers are still convinced that he has taken April.

“I can’t get rid of the feeling that Ruby’s flesh crawling dad is behind this,” wrote a viewer on X, while another fan said: “I am convinced that she’s been kidnapped by someone from the Village,” before suggesting that that person could be Anthony and April has managed to escape.

5. Kelly and Scott Windsor

Other viewers think that if April wanted to get away from the village, she would track down family, so have suggested she could be staying with her aunt Kelly or uncle Scott.

“Have Kelly and Scott been mentioned?” asked one viewer on Instagram. While another fan speculated that she could be running from one of them after they suggested she go home.

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Marlon despaired as Rhona’s past came back to haunt her

In Emmerdale tonight, Marlon Dingle despaired as the local newspapers dredged up ghosts from Rhona’s past amid the disappearance of April. As her painkiller addiction and baby kidnapping hit the headlines, Marlon’s fears that April might be dead only grew.

Elsewhere, as a guilty Dawn tried to avoid Joe, he attempted to build bridges with Noah – only for an angry Ross to try and warn him off. Meanwhile, Cain and the boys gave Moira some much-needed support, and Anthony had his algebra lesson with Angelica.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, January 13.

Another blow for Marlon and Rhona (Credit: ITV)

Marlon despaired in Emmerdale tonight

As the episode began, Marlon had a vivid dream of April’s death, picturing himself running through the woods, where police had found her body. He woke up in a state, having slept on the sofa to guard for any more intruders.

As Mary rallied the troops, Marlon was frustrated that everyone else seemed to be getting back to normal. Vanessa had some more bad news for the family – popping around, she showed the family a Hotten Courier article dredging up Rhona’s past, her painkiller addiction and the whole kidnapping baby Ivy thing.

At The Woolpack, Marlon wallowed in the worst of the comments. Mary’s fears that April might be dead left him even more upset and angry, and he lashed out – publicly screaming at Mary and the others for having given up.

Out back, he confided in Rhona about his nightmare – and his fears that Mary might be right. Instead, a visit from case worker Anna had good news – CCTV footage had spitted April on the streets of Leeds, very much alive and well.

Good news for once!

Ross had harsh words for Joe (Credit: ITV)

Joe’s sick, and Ross passed on a message

Marlon wasn’t the only one who had a bad night’s sleep – Joe Tate awoke, immediately downing a handful of pills to manage his mystery illness.

He paid visit to Noah, hoping to make amends for badmouthing the Dingles. Trying to get into his half-brother’s good books, he offered to put in a good word with a mate to score them both some VIP tickets to a Leeds match.

Just then, a bickering Charity and Ross walked in. Charity was less than happy to see Joe hanging around, and quickly gave him his marching orders. Ross, meanwhile, was even less pleased to see the man he held responsible for his acid attack.

With Joe gone, Charity tried to bar Noah from seeing his half-sibling – but this only succeeded in helping Noah over to Joe’s side. Charity bonded with Ross over her distaste for Joe – telling him she’d put in a good word with Moses if he passed on a ‘message.’

Sneaking onto Home Farm, Ross confronted Joe with the ‘receipts’ – warning him that he’d be a dead man if he went near Noah again. Will Joe get the message?

Dawn felt guilty as Joe swaggered about

At Home Farm, Dawn tried to hide her guilty conscience from Billy. Not easy when the man she locked lips with is living under the same roof. As she kissed her husband goodbye, Joe accused her of ‘overcompensating’ and feeling jealous about his other exploits.

Cain did his best to support Moira (Credit: ITV)

Moira spent the day with her family

Moira was in a rush to complete the household work before radiotherapy tomorrow. A nervous Moira faced questioning from the kids while Cain dished out the chores to an annoyed Matty.

Looking to do something nice with the boys, Moira promised to take them out to the climbing wall. As the family left, Cain spotted Kyle thieving cash from the family funds jar. What is the lad up to?

Later, in the cafe, Cain stood by Moira, pledging to stick by her throughout her procedure. Later, he also covered for Kyle when she discovered the money missing from the jar.

At least the money had been put to a good cause – and, as Kyle arrived home, he handed over a gift to Moira from him and Isaac; a special moisturizer for radiotherapy patients.

“Knowing that I’ve got you three by my side, I think I can cope with anything,” a loved-up Moira swooned. Cue the guilty looks from Cain.

Anthony got his feet under Nicola’s table on Emmerdale tonight

Following his lesson with Angelica, he was full of praise, describing her as a model student. Thrilled by her daughter’s progress, Nicola told him he’d have to come around for some of her, uh, lamb and date tagine. Pardon us – for once, Anthony isn’t the only thing turning our stomach.
