    Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Nicola gets bad news, Adam is fretting and Pearl makes a rash decision

    In Classic Emmerdale spoilers for episodes airing on ITV3 on Wednesday September 25, Nicola gets a glimpse of her future, Pearl makes a rash decision and Alan’s got money problems. These episodes originally aired on January 30 and 31, 2006.

    Adam’s fretting

    When he hears that Alan and Terence are moving, Adam’s worried about Betty being left on her own, but she insists she’s fine.

    Adam’s got more to worry about though, when he realises something’s up with Steph. But she refuses to admit what’s going on, and won’t tell him that she’s being threatened by Terence.

    Money troubles

    Alan tells Terence that his offer on Tug Ghyll has been accepted, but he admits he’s having trouble re-mortgaging the B&B because of his age. Len suggests that he could get a joint mortgage with Terence, but Terence doesn’t seem keen.

    Taking action?

    When Paul mentions he’s not seen much of Steph lately, Betty goes to find her. She finds her in a bit of a state, and reports back to Adam, telling him something needs to be done about Terence. She suggests that they call the police but Adam says if Steph doesn’t want that, then there’s nothing they can do.

    Seeing the future

    Nicola’s not impressed when she goes to a palm reader and gets some bad news! The palm reader tells her her relationship is in trouble and Nicola’s miffed.

    So at home later she showers Simon with affection – only for things to end up in another row!

    Making accusations

    The next day, Nicola checks Simon’s phone and she’s horrified to see lots of messages from his ex, Tash. She’s convinced he’s having an affair until Lesley tells her the truth. She explains that Tash has repaid the money she owed – but Simon hasn’t told her.

    Fuming, Nicola confronts Simon who tells her he was testing her ability to live without money. She’s very unimpressed to find out she was being tested and takes off her engagement ring.

    Lesley takes Simon to the pub where he tells her he doesn’t love Nicola anymore. Appalled, Lesley goes home to hear Nicola saying she doesn’t want to be engaged either.

    Is it really over?

    Rash decisions

    At Home Farm Tom discovers his visitors are arriving a day earlier than he thought. Desperate to impress, he asks Pearl if Nicola is still providing silver service catering.

    Pearl’s saving for her trip to Hong Kong, so she is quick to say that she’s looking after that side of the business now. She agrees to provide the staff for Tom’s dinner and she’s chuffed with herself until Len points out she’s got no staff!

  • Keepers Cottage in Emmerdale – how many bedrooms does it really have as John moves in?

    Keepers Cottage in Emmerdale – how many bedrooms does it really have as John moves in?

    Keepers Cottage in Emmerdale is one of the village’s most iconic locations. So many Dale icons have lived there from Paddy Kirk to Betty Eagleton and Laurel Thomas.

    Now it’s owned by Victoria Sugden, who’s just persuaded new-found half-brother John to move in too.

    Which left us scratching our heads a bit because Keepers really isn’t that big! So how many bedrooms does it have and who lives there?

    How many bedrooms does Keepers Cottage have in Emmerdale?

    We’ve done a bit of digging and we’ve discovered that Keepers is a three-bedroom cottage.

    So that left us even more confused!

    Where is Keepers Cottage?

    The little cottage is next door to the cafe on Main Street in Emmerdale.

    The past residents of Keepers Cottage

    In 1995, Seth Armstrong and Betty Eagleton moved into Keepers. They lived there until 2003, and because they took in lodgers, lots of Emmerdale characters lived there, too.

    Paddy lived there for a while, so did Laurel Thomas, Sandy Thomas, Alan Turner and Terry Woods.

    Victoria lived there with Betty and when dad Jack died, she used her inheritance to buy the cottage. When Betty left Emmerdale, Vic’s then-husband Adam moved in.

    And when Adam left, Vic was joined by friend Rebecca White.

    Who lives there now?

    After Rebecca moved away, Victoria rented a room to Amy Wyatt and her mum, Kerry.

    Amy’s now married to Matty Dingle and they both live at Keepers, and when Kerry returned from her stint on the cruise ship, she also came back to the cottage.

    Hmm, it’s already feeling a bit snug! Plus, of course, there’s Victoria’s four-year-old son, Harry.

    And now John, too!

    So, we’re assuming Victoria has her own room, and she mentioned Harry’s room when she was talking to John, so that makes two. One for newly weds Amy and Matty, and another for Kerry and that’s four… Plus now there’s John to consider.

    Has Keepers magically sprung a couple of new bedrooms, Hogwarts-style? Is this another mystery John Sugden’s brought with him?!
