Billy Fletcher has his friends worried in Emmerdale spoilers next week, as his determination to earn money through fighting grows. With Billy taking part in another unlicensed match, both Mackenzie and John grow concerned for his well-being.
This comes as desperate Billy attempts to provide for Dawn and the children by taking part in unlicensed, underground boxing matches. Things haven’t been easy for the pair since doctors diagnosed little Evan with leukemia earlier this year.
The struggling dad has kept his violent second job a secret from Dawn – hiding both the fighting and subsequent injuries behind a series of (not all that convincing) lies and excuses.
But with Billy still set on his highly dangerous course of action, Mackenzie is shocked and worried for his well-being. And, even as John attempts to assist with an impromptu coaching session, he and Aaron try to talk Billy out of fighting again.

Emmerdale tonight (Monday, October 14) saw Moira Dingle told that she could have her much needed operation tomorrow. After a walk down memory lane with Matty, she decided to go ahead with it. But bad news followed when she answered a call from Debbie informing her of Zak’s passing.
Elsewhere, Amelia continued to see Tom as God’s Gift. Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Moira received good and bad news
While cooking breakfast, Moira suffered a seizure, which saw her fall forward and burn her hand on the frying pan. Matty was worried about his mum, but relief came when Moira got a phone call from the hospital telling her there had been a cancellation and she can have her operation tomorrow.
Despite this being good news, Moira told Matty she was scared. “It was easier when it was months away,” she said. “It’s like when you arrange a night out, but when it comes to it, you’d rather stop in and stay on the sofa.”
Moira and Matty went for a walk and visited Holly’s tree. They reminisced about Holly and spoke about what her life would be like now. Moira admitted that she was worried that the operation would go wrong and she’d leave her kids without a mum. After Matty told his mum that Holly would want her to do everything she could to get better, Moira resigned herself to having the operation.
“You know I’m a terrible patient, right? Non stop moaning and full of self pity for weeks…” Not much different from normal then…
Matty told his mum to tell Cain about the operation and not keep secrets. Of course, Cain chose that moment to arrive back from Scotland and wanted to know what secrets. Matty covered for his mum by just telling Cain about the seizure Moira had that morning.
Moira had another moment when she asked Matty to check on the cars. “What cars?” he asked, “Cows, you know what I mean,” she responded.
Cain said he had wanted to surprise Moira. He told her Zak was doing a lot better and had bullied him into coming home. When she later tried to tell him about the operation, she backed out again. All thoughts of the operation were erased when she answered a call from Debbie on Cain’s phone while he was in the shower.
She then had the tough job of telling Cain that Zak wasn’t doing a lot better at all, he has died. Sob.
Mack told Billy he’ll help him (Credit: ITV)
Mack kept Billy’s secret in Emmerdale tonight
Billy bumped into Mack in the village, who told him he could get him some work up at the farm. After Billy responded that that wasn’t enough, Mack continued to surprise everyone by being the voice of reason. He told Billy that farm work was better than doing something ‘really, really stupid’ such as illegal boxing. “Whatever they’re paying you, it’s really not worth it,” he said.
Billy confused Mack – and us – by saying he wasn’t doing it for the money, despite the fact that he literally did it for the money last week.
In the Woolpack over a pint, Billy said that fighting is a way to escape his life – struggling with an ill son. “When I’m in there [the ring], there’s nothing else I can think about,” he said. “This is helping me deal with the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. So I’m begging you, please keep this to yourself.”
Later, Mack visited Billy at his house. He told him he’d keep his secret, but wouldn’t let him do it alone. “You need someone looking out for you and for keeping you in shape,” he said.
Mack then quoted Rocky, “You’ll be able to spit nails, kid.” It was completely lost on Billy though, as he is a boxer who has never seen Rocky. Mack spoke for us all when he said: “Wow, OK, we’ve got a lot of work to do then.”
Amelia continues to side with Tom (Credit: ITV)
Amelia continued to be a lovestruck teen
If you didn’t think Amelia could be anymore stupid, you’re wrong.
Tom informed Amelia that he was going to take her on a special date. Cue Amelia getting dressed up ready for a fun afternoon… at the Woolpack. Yes, he took her to the local pub.
Luckily for Tom, Amelia can’t see the wood for the trees, so when Tom spouted some dross about the Woolpack being special for them and that the more time they spend there the more the locals will accept them as a couple, she went all gooey eyed.
“We can go to Leeds if you like, just think it’s way more special here,” he said. “What’s the point in showing you off in a room full of strangers?” Insert vomit emoji. Surely Amelia’s brain will kick into action eventually?
Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight…
Dawn visited Home Farm, initially to see Kim. But when Kim wasn’t there, she eventually confided in her dad that money was tight. Will agreed to find £5,000 in order to get her a new car.
While doing some plumbing work at Liam’s house, Sam got emotional talking about Samson. Liam tried to reassure Sam, telling him he was a good dad. Later, feeling cheered up, Sam told Liam he was taking Belle snaring – yes, us neither…

Fans of Emmerdale believe newcomer Jade is hiding her true identity and is in fact related to two other village residents.
Last week, actor and musician Twinnie-Lee Moore made her first appearance as ruthless boxing promoter Jade. Jade arrived in the village to encourage – or rather demand – Billy to fight again.
However, cynical viewers don’t believe that Jade is her real name and have been speculating over who she really could be.

Jade arrives in Emmerdale
In recent weeks, fans have seen Billy get involved in the world of unlicensed boxing and hide the secret from wife Dawn, who thinks the money he’s made from it has been pulled off trees.
In Friday’s episode, ruthless boxing promoter Jade arrived in the village much to Billy’s horror. As she wound down the window of her car, Billy asked what she was doing there – meaning they’d already met.
After telling him she was impressed with his home setting, she gave him a veiled threat by saying: “Obviously got a lot to lose.”
Jade told Billy she wanted to see more of him in the ring just as Dawn arrived to ask if everything was OK. Jade responded: “It would be if Billy would do as I ask.”
Billy covered by saying she was a potential client. Jade went along with the story and said she was in the market for a PT and had heard how good Billy is. Later, Billy told Mack that Jade is the one who runs all the fights, but he was determined not to get involved anymore given his current injuries.
However, he soon changed his mind when he got ripped off buying a new car and Dawn commented about everything going wrong for them. Dawn encouraged him to call the ‘posh client from this morning’ and so that’s what he did. But what does Jade have in store for him? And do her ties to the village go further than Billy?

Fans rumble Jade’s true identity
Last month, it was revealed that Caleb Milligan and his wife Ruby had a daughter. Caleb went to visit wife Ruby’s dying mother in the hospital. During a heated exchange, Helen asked Caleb if he had seen anything of Stephanie. Caleb was furious at the question and told Helen not to mention his kids.
When he arrived in Emmerdale, Caleb did mention kids – but we only met Nicky. Nicky, himself, also mentioned having a sister. Though we should remember he also told a bunch of lies including the fact that his mum was dead. Which, as we know, she’s very much alive.
Aside from that, nothing else is known about the mysterious Miligan daughter. But fans have been speculating that Jade could be Stephanie.
“Just a thought, I know Caleb and Ruby have a daughter called Stephanie, but suppose Jade isn’t her real name – but Jade is Stephanie?!” wrote one fan on X, with a second fan writing: “Wouldn’t surprise me if she’s related to Caleb and Ruby.”
Fans on Reddit were also on board this theory, with one viewer writing: “Could she be Caleb and Ruby’s estranged daughter? Using the name Jade as an alias… Both Caleb and Ruby have ruthless streaks, and what we’ve seen from Jade so far is that she seems ruthless.”
Another fan agreed, adding: “I actually thought the same thing. They suddenly have a daughter, and then this new chick turns up.”

Twinnie-Lee Moore on new role
Speaking about being back on screen, Former Hollyoaks star Twinnie said: “My life has been a bit crazy recently juggling music and acting with lots of back and forth between Nashville and Yorkshire but I’ve been loving it!
“I’ve loved being back on screen, especially as the show is shot in Yorkshire. Being able to be home with family and go to work on such an iconic show has been nothing short of amazing! The whole team has been so welcoming and really supportive.
“My character is so much fun to play and I can’t wait to see how the audience reacts to her.”

Emmerdale tonight dragged out some more stories including Billy fighting for money and Kim and Will’s marriage crisis. Just as they gave us a glimmer of hope that there was light at the end of the tunnel for some of the long-running plot lines, we hit more dead ends. Again.
Stay with us to find out everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Friday October 11.
Dawn bought every word of Billy’s lies (Credit: ITV)
Billy lied to Dawn over and over again
Billy was still lying to Dawn and we’re still bored. Boxing promoter and billed new villain Jade soon pulled up in chauffeur driven car and Dawn just walked out right at that moment. Jade covered for Billy pretending she was just in the market for a new PT.
Billy was tempted by the money to fight again and as he discussed it with Mack the mechanic quickly worked out Billy was getting a kick out of the boxing and money wasn’t everything. But he insisted he was done with it all.
Back at home Billy and Dawn pledged their love to each other and stated family is all they need. But apparently not Billy, who still needs boxing.
He then found out the new car he’d bought was a cut and shut job and was only good for Vinny at the scrapyard. Billy whinged again about not being man enough to provide for his family and how things don’t just seem to be going his way. Dawn said much the same about them being unlucky and Billy was a sad man again. So he called Jade and accepted her offer.
This won’t end well. Billy knows it. We know it. Everyone knows it. But he’s doing it anyway. Awesome.
Kim has decided it’s definitely over with Will (Credit: ITV)
Will offered an olive branch to Kim in Emmerdale tonight
Jimmy was still encouraging Will to try and save his marriage. Meanwhile, Kim was confiding in Lydia when Will arrived home with a chai latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon as a peace offering – that’s gonna do it, it’ll solve everything.
Well, it did force them to sit down and chat, at least. He confessed he never slept with Kerry and he wondered if there was a glimmer of hope for them. But Kim’s walls were up. Sigh. Although she did agree to think about trying again. Please let this be the ending in sight…
Nope, apparently not!
Kim later texted Will to meet her and they soon started arguing. She said she was so tired of this bickering (she’s not the only one). Kim then told him to move out. She’d even packed his bags for him and drained their joint accounts. Now Will is also a sad man, just like Billy.
Tom wooed Amelia with the Woolie
Amelia seems to be the first person in the village who has noticed Tom is walking well, given he was axed in the back (have the writers been looking at social media and slotted that in, do we think?!).
And it also seems Amelia has started to see Tom’s not so lovely side when she asked if he was just trying to use her.
But alas, her rose-tinted spectacles were soon fixed and Tom proved himself by taking her to the Woolpack. She was taken in and told him she was ready to take things to the next level. But he turned her down. Are those alarm bells still not ringing, Amelia?
John’s been incredibly understanding with Arthur given the circumstances (Credit: ITV)
John stepped up in Emmerdale tonight
Laurel was still hassling Arthur about the condoms. She even suggested he pretend she was Ashley if that made it easier – why Laurel seems to think vicar Ashley would be better at this than her, given her, er, prolific sexual experience, we’re not sure.
John overheard and stepped in, asking Arthur to help fix his headlight. Arthur was a bit confused as to why John would want his help given the lies he told, but John was using the excuse to gently (or as gently as John ever does) give Arthur some advice. In a brotherly way. Not in a sexual way. He made that much very clear, but does Arthur understand?
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Gail got her wish
Gail was still worried about dead Noreen following her around the room at home. She is sure she’s going to be possessed by her ghost and feels her watching her all the time. So she was thrilled when Ryan said they were moving into the Woolpack to escape the spirit.
Sam was sad
Becoming the third sad man in the village was Sam. After visiting Samson in prison, Sam was down in the dumps. Samson’s not coping apparently. Liam bought Sam a drink to cheer him up and offered him some advice, but Sam wanted to drink alone.

Fans of Emmerdale have reacted with glee to the news that Hollyoaks star Twinnie-Lee Moore will be joining the soap as ruthless boxing promoter Jade. Viewers have watched as hard-up Billy Fletcher has joined an underground fight club so as to make ends meet.
This earned him a pounding in Wednesday night’s episode, in which he turned to Mack and John for help. As John helped stitch him up, Billy revealed that he had joined an underground boxing club.
Billy’s story continues in tonight’s episode (Friday, October 11), in which boxing promoter Jade pays Billy a visit, hoping to talk him into fighting again.
Jade is played by musician and former Hollyoaks star Twinnie-Lee Moore. Twinnie played Porsche McQueen on the Channel 4 soap opera between November 2014 and December 2015.
In swapping one village for another, Twinnie’s casting has Emmerdale fans excited for the prospect of a new female villain.

Reacting to news of Emmerdale’s newest villain, fans shared their enthusiasm on X.

“Very excited for her! Great casting!” said another.
“It’s actually her it’s actually her I’m not crying I’m not crying (I’m violently sobbing and shaking o cannot believe this is happening to me),” a third exclaimed.
Indeed it is – and she makes her Emmerdale debut tonight!

Jade arrives in Emmerdale
Emmerdale viewers have seen Billy continue to hide a secret from wife Dawn. He has been participating in unlicensed boxing matches in order to earn some extra cash for their family.
The arrival of ambitious and ruthless boxing promoter Jade in Friday’s episode will see Billy drawn into this world even further. But callous Jade has an agenda – and Billy’s safety is nowhere on that agenda.
However, money talks and Billy is tempted by the financial promises despite the trouble it may bring.
Over the coming months, will Billy come to regret getting involved with Jade and putting his family in danger?

Twinnie-Lee Moore on joining Emmerdale
Since leaving Hollyoaks, Twinnie has forged a career as a country music singer, performing in her own sold out shows and spending a lot of time in Nashville.
Speaking about being back on screen, she said: “My life has been a bit crazy recently juggling music and acting with lots of back and forth between Nashville and Yorkshire but I’ve been loving it!
“I’ve loved being back on screen, especially as the show is shot in Yorkshire. Being able to be home with family and go to work on such an iconic show has been nothing short of amazing! The whole team has been so welcoming and really supportive.
“My character is so much fun to play and I can’t wait to see how the audience reacts to her.”

Who did Twinnie-Lee Moore play in Hollyoaks?
Twinnie was part of the iconic McQueen family. She played Porsche McQueen – sister to Celine and Cleo, and cousin to Mercedes McQueen.
Porsche arrived in Hollyoaks in 2014 just as her fiancè Lockie was telling her cousin John-Paul that he wanted him. The wedding went ahead anyway, but ultimately failed due to Lockie’s numerous affairs.
Twinnie was also involved in a child abuse storyline. She was praised for her performance, which saw Porsche reveal that stepfather Pete had sexually assaulted her when she was 15.
The storyline saw Porsche emotionally reveal that she’d told her mum about the abuse, but her mum chose to believe Pete.

Last month, it was confirmed that Ross Barton would be making an explosive return to Emmerdale, as Michael Parr reprises his role.
Ross left the Dales in 2018 to start a new life with Rebecca White in Liverpool following the horrific acid attack.
He’ll soon be rubbing shoulders with the villagers again, but why exactly is he returning?
Speaking about his return, Michael said: “I can’t wait for the audience to see what’s in store. One thing I can say is Ross’s return will no doubt create fireworks.”
Fans have been speculating about what – or who – his return could be about. Here are our top theories!

A source told the publication that Leyla will exit in a ‘blaze of glory.’ Writing on X, a viewer asked: “Who thinks Ross’s return could have something to do with Leyla’s death in Emmerdale?”
Leyla and Ross do have a link as she was previously engaged to his brother Pete, so could Ross’s return and Leyla’s exit overlap?

2. Is Ross’s return linked to Billy’s fighting?
Another fan wrote on X: “Why do I get the feeling Billy’s fighting story is going to be the story that involves Ross‘ return?”
Recently, Billy has been keeping a secret from Dawn. He has been participating in illegal, unlicensed boxing matches in order to make extra money for his family.
Could Ross somehow be involved in this? Back in 2015, Ross got involved in bare knuckle fighting, so it’s certainly possible that he could have entered the world of boxing.

3. Could Ross team up with Ella?
Ella arrived in the village hiding a secret. When it was revealed that she’d killed her best friend when she was 11, the other villagers turned against her.
But she’s stuck around and even formed a bond with Dr Liam Cavanagh. However, fans are eager to see Liam get back with Chas, so have suggested Ella could move on with someone else – namely Ross.
“Maybe when Ross comes back, Ella could get with him,” one fan wrote on X, with another adding: “Ella needs to cop off with someone interesting. Roll on Ross returning, I could see that.”
Last time we saw Ross, he was in a relationship with Rebecca. But perhaps he returns because his relationship has broken down – could Ella be his next partner?
Why is Ross returning? (Credit: ITV)
4. Mystery guest at funeral
Emmerdale recently confirmed that a mystery person will show up at Zak’s funeral.
Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain, teased: “It’s someone you might know. They’re not going to make things go smoothly for the Dingles. Could it be someone back from the dead?”
Writing on X, a fan said: “I wonder if this major return for Zak’s funeral will be Ross Barton. We know that he’s returning to the village and he’ll probably appear by Zak’s graveside on Debbie’s behalf.”
However, the mystery person is described as being a long-lost relative, so this theory is less likely as despite having links to the Dingles through his aunt Moira and son Moses, Ross doesn’t quite fit that description.
Emmerdale: 5. Ross back for Moira?
Last month, following lots of health concerns, Moira Dingle was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Ross could be returning to support his aunt. Moira was previously married to John Barton, who was the brother of Ross’s dad, James.
One fan wrote on X: “Hope that Emmerdale remember that him and Moira were on good terms ‘cos she helped him catch his attacker.”
Aaron was questioned by the police (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale: 6. Is Ross involved in Aaron’s side hustle?
Aaron recently had his car searched by the police after they – rightly – suspected he was involved in the theft of some smart watches.
Could Ross return and take Mack’s place? Fans certainly hope so, with one joking on X: “I was wondering if Aaron’s sudden urge to thieve somehow involves Ross as those two were a pair back in the day.”
While Ross and Aaron certainly clashed at times, they did team up to rob a warehouse. Could Ross be back to his old ways?
There is also a link in the form of Rebecca and her son Sebastian. Seb’s dad is Aaron’s former husband Robert. It’s a messy situation and certainly lots of scope for stories upon Ross’s return.

What’s still to come in Emmerdale this week?
It’s been a big week so far in the Dales. Kim and Will’s on-going feud appears to not be ending anytime soon and they’ve ramped up their efforts to annoy one another, while Laurel and Arthur have been massively clashing.
