She worries she hasn’t done enough to help Debbie bond with Sarah. Cain, oblivious to Debbie’s struggle, plans to spend the day with Sarah.

Sarah Sugden is the troublesome, troubled teenage daughter of Debbie Dingle and Andy Sugden. She’s a big sister to her ‘saviour sibling’ Jack – who lives in Scotland with their mum – and has a lot of uncles: Charity’s sons Noah, Moses and Ryan and Cain’s son’s Nate, Isaac and Kyle.
Sarah’s also the adopted cousin of Victoria’s son, Harry.
So when it comes to being at the heart of Emmerdale, Sarah‘s right in the thick of both the Sugden and Dingle dynasties!

Emmerdale: Sarah Sugden’s arrival
Sarah arrived unexpectedly! Her mum – Debbie Dingle – was just 15 years old and had hidden her pregnancy from everyone.
She had fallen pregnant after a brief romance with older teenager Andy Sugden, but hadn’t told him either!
Debbie gave birth in a barn and planned to abandon her baby at the hospital.
But of course, the shocking arrival didn’t stay secret for long! Daz Tittensor ran for help and found Emily Kirk – Debbie’s foster mother.
Emily helped deliver the tot and Debbie named her daughter Sarah Charity – after her two grandmothers. Emily had been about to leave Emmerdale after discovering her husband Paddy had cheated. But when Debbie had the baby, she decided to stay in the village after all, and help Debbie care for Sarah.
And that’s when things started to go wrong!

Hard decisions
With Debbie struggling to cope, she turned to foster mother Emily Kirk for support.
Emily was glad to help out but Cain was annoyed and accused her of interfering, and Emily decided enough was enough – she was leaving the village.
When Debbie found out Emily was going, she begged her to take baby Sarah with her.
Emily agreed and left the village with Sarah and though Cain tried to track her down, he couldn’t.

Returning to Emmerdale
A year later Emily and Sarah came back to Emmerdale, and Emily gave the tot to her dad, Andy.
Emily was shunned by the village, who called her a child-snatcher, and she even tried to end her own life.
Debbie agreed that Andy could keep Sarah, as long as she wasn’t part of her daughter’s life. Emily moved away and things settled down.

Andy, Jo and Debbie
By now Sarah was a toddler and Andy was engaged to Jo Stiles. Debbie told the couple she’d be happy for Jo to adopt little Sarah. But when it came to signing the papers, Debbie couldn’t do it!
When Andy went to prison, Jo let Debbie spend time with Sarah. When Andy found out, he was FUMING and ended up hitting Jo – starting months of abuse.
Jo confided in Debbie, Andy moved out, and Jo left Emmerdale.

More arguments!
The Dingles tried to persuade Debbie to get custody of her daughter, but Debbie was worried about the part she’d played in the murder of policeman Shane Doyle, and refused.
Andy kept custody of Sarah when Debbie was sent to jail. When she came home she wanted to see her daughter, but Andy refused and even tried to run off to Spain. Debbie stopped him and she eventually won full custody of Sarah after Jo made a statement about Andy’s violence towards her.
Since then, Sarah’s lived first with Debbie, and now with grandmother Charity.
Emmerdale tonight saw a worrying continuation of bad health for Moira as she regained consciousness after her seizure and her son said she smelt terrible (how charming!…)
Elsewhere, Jimmy and Will felt like schoolboys after they received an emergency visit from HMRC (yikes) which scheming Caleb arranged.
From menopause chats to trifles, here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday, August 28).

Emmerdale tonight: Moira’s health updates
Emmerdale tonight started with a lone Moira shivering on the floor of her barn. Despite being an animal lover, this appeared strange to her.
She could not move and reached for a horse blanket to keep away the chill. She looked exhausted despite the full face of makeup.
Later, she entered her home while Isaac ate his toast (there was no milk on the dairy farm for his cereal). Moira explained she was looking over one of their cows when Isaac insulted her scent.
Moira in obvious discomfort took a painkiller while Cain grew uncharacteristically angry (no surprise there).
Moira blamed her struggles on Cain for stressing her out and stormed from the house before he could get another word in.
Cain’s frustration
After (not) cooling off, Cain and Moira engaged in yet another argument. Cain revealed he spoke to Nate, to which Moira exploded. She insisted she was ill, potentially going through the menopause, and wouldn’t change for him.
Back in his stomping ground of the pub, Cain confided in Chas and admitted he blamed Moira for flirting openly. Chas openly defended Moira and told him she’s probably right about the illness.
Ever the voice of reason, Chas told him to calm down and talk to Moira properly.
Later, Moira took another wee kip on the sofa while Isaac looked after her and made his own dinner. He requested to eat out and Moira said she’d consider it when they got home, despite them both being there already.
Isaac laughed at his mum, but Moira looked distressed and worried when reality set in.
Will Isaac and Moira keep their pact and refuse to tell Cain about her so-called dizzy spells?

Diesel dilemma
As if Will hadn’t suffered enough negativity recently, a HMRC inspector turned up at the Haulage yard in the morning. She informed that she received reports of the highly-illegal red diesel. Will, although worried, was convinced he’s clean…
That conviction quickly turned into a hefty fine which could threaten to harm him and Jimmy. On a war path, Will decided to take his anger out on Billy.
He stopped him in the street and shouted at Billy for talking to him rudely. Tired of his rambles, Billy bit back and told him Dawn’s reaction was entirely his fault – and we loved the drama!
Scrambling for a retort, Will accused Billy of tampering with the diesel at the yard. That was one accusation too far for Billy and he stormed off.
Caleb the crook
The true villain revealed himself in a blue shirt. Caleb was delighted to hear Ruby had directed a HMRC officer to the yard to discover red diesel he himself had planted.
Ruby was equally delighted with her husband as the pair schemed to get the Haulage yard to themselves. She helpfully suggested Caleb should dress as the devil if he signs on Halloween.
The blonde bob must help with gossip, as Ruby happened to overhear Nicola and Jimmy discuss their new hefty fine. Her demands for coffee quickly died and she settled back to hear more about Jimmy and Will’s downfall.
Billy walked in for cake (yum) and Jimmy requested he made up with Will. Safe to say Billy refused and suggested Will was not the man they thought they knew.
Jimmy decided to go to the pub and Ruby was quick to share this with Caleb, who just so happened to be there when Jimmy walked in.

Dinner chats
Nothing appears to please Jimmy more than a steak and kidney pie with a pint, but tonight he loved the company of Caleb. Jimmy asked Caleb how he looked so wrinkle-free, to which Caleb was keen to share.
A few pints down and a trifle later, Caleb made more strategic chess moves to get information from Jimmy. Growing more frustrated at his partner Will, Jimmy jokingly offered Caleb half the business.
Caleb surprisingly refused and joked it was due to Jimmy’s complaints on Will. Jimmy joked he regretted making the comments.
He then told Nicola he was only half joking and would consider the sale.
Not yet, Caleb
Back at their flat, Ruby was shocked to hear Caleb didn’t jump at the fact he could buy the business. But Caleb revealed he wants to wear Will down before he takes it over.
The scheming couple laughed and decided to wait their plan out until they were certain they could get their own way.
Surprisingly, Caleb showed emotion and suggested he felt guilty about playing Jimmy. He is, after all, a good person…
Over in Emmerdale tonight, an upsetting new development in Moira’s storyline aired as she collapsed in the barn whilst alone and suffered a seizure.
Elsewhere, Dawn and Billy and the kids moved into Holdgate (having all papers signed in a matter of 24 hours!)
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Tuesday, August 27th.

Emmerdale: Moira collapsed in the barn
For quite some time, we’ve all been wonder just what is going on with Moira at the moment.
Seriously, she’s been randomly lashing out at Cain, has been super invested in buying a new bull for the farm, and has been consuming a lot of alcohol.
She also recently disappeared for the night without telling Cain about her plans…
This evening, Cain continued to share his concerns about his wife as she knocked back the painkillers. When her worried about Moira’s alcohol consumption, Moira turned defensive and noted that the bottle of whisky was unopened.
Fearing that Moira was keeping something from him, Cain then accused Nate for having another affair with his wife (not even Nate would be THAT stupid, would he?) Meanwhile, Moira also shared her concerns about her relationship’s stability with John.
Nate reassured Cain that he couldn’t be more wrong, although he too was concerned about Moira’s recent behaviour.
It seems that Dawn meant every word she said to Will last night (Monday, August 26th) as she packed her bags and moved out of Home Farm.
Instead of staying at the B&B and mulling things over, Dawn and Billy decided to buy Holdgate. They were so eager that they had the contract signed and had moved themselves and the kids in by teatime.
Whilst Holdgate may not be a luxurious as the couple’s former home, it looks as though they’re staying there for the long run.

Emmerdale tonight: Caleb tampered with the Haulage vans
So, Caleb and Jai are really doing this then? They’re not just all talk! After having another secret meetup, Jai wasn’t happy when Caleb asked him for more money to bribe his contact at the council.
With Jai then warning Caleb that he’s not the kind of guy you mess with (could’ve fooled us Jai), Chas wondered yet again why Caleb and Jai were pals all of a sudden.
Later on, Caleb started to take action on his plan to tamper with the Haulage, pouring red diesel into their vans!
Also tonight, John turned protective of Victoria after Jai mocked her attempt at changing a spare tyre. Aw, John’s a big softie underneath that tough exterior, isn’t he?
In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight, Cain is convinced Moira is cheating on him. He spies her having a drink with Nate and jumps to the conclusion they’ve resumed their affair.
Elsewhere, Jai issues new partner in crime Caleb a menacing threat, and then makes an enemy of John.
It’s all going on in Emmerdale on Tuesday August 27.

Consumed with jealousy, Moira reckons Ruby is trying to seduce her husband. Of course, that isn’t the case, but Moira isn’t thinking rationally.

Jasmine Thomas, the troubled teen daughter of vicar Ashley Thomas, is back in Classic Emmerdale. She’s been suspended from school, and she wants to stay in the village.
So what better time than to have a look at everything Jasmine got up to while she was living in Emmerdale – and what’s happened to actress Jenna Coleman since!

Jasmine arrives in Emmerdale
Troublesome teenager Jasmine came to the village for the summer, to stay with her uncle, vicar Ashley Thomas.
She befriended Debbie Dingle but had to get back to school. After a quick return to the village when she was suspended, Jasmine was eventually expelled and came back to do her A Levels in Emmerdale.
Jasmine and Debbie
Debbie wasn’t the most stable of teenagers herself so she and Jasmine become firm friends.
When Debbie kissed Jasmine, hoping to get a reaction from dad Cain, the teens realised their friendship went deeper and they became a couple.

Jasmine and Cain
But where Dingles go, trouble follows, and Jasmine was soon drawn into Debbie’s feud with her dad, Cain.
Cain seduced teenage Jasmine to spite poor Debbie. Jasmine got pregnant, and told Debbie everything.
And then Sadie King got involved – which never ended well. She paid for Jasmine to have an abortion. Debbie spilled the beans to Cain – who’d wanted Jasmine to keep the baby – and for a while everything was very messy!
Jasmine’s journalism career
After school, Jasmine wanted to become a journalist. She landed a job and began investigating the Tom King’s murder. She helped Jamie Hope clear his name, but she didn’t find the real killer.
Later, she started investigating the Macfarlanes – a local crime family – which is where things got a bit tricky.
Shane Doyle
Jasmine met policeman Shane at the pub and wanted to get to know him so he could help with her story. But Shane wanted to get to know Jasmine for other reasons!
He managed to split up her and boyfriend Jake Dolan, by provoking Jake and then arresting him, and making Jasmine think he had cheated on her.
But still Jasmine was focused on exposing the Macfarlane family.
When Jasmine found out Shane had arrested a woman called Danielle Hutch, with links to the family, she was thrilled. And when Shane said he let her go because he felt sorry for her, she was so pleased with him that she slept with him.
But as Jasmine asked more questions about the arrest, Shane became aggressive and when Jasmine searched his flat she found large amounts of cash.
Shane found Jasmine, there was a struggle and he tried to rape her – she fought back, whacking him with a chair leg and killing him!

Cover up!
Jasmine, Debbie and Eli Dingle wrapped up Shane’s body and dumped him in a lake. But when his body was discovered accidentally by Victoria Sugden, Jasmine started to realise she had to confess – especially when innocent Ross Kirk was arrested for the crime.
Debbie persuaded Jasmine not to own up, and the pair declared their love for one another. Aww – but it was short-lived.
Ross was released and Eli was arrested instead. Jasmine and Debbie decided to go on the run, but Debbie was arrested.
Everlasting love?
Jasmine hid for a little while, then when Debbie was in court, she burst in and announced she was the one who’d killed Shane!
Jasmine was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to four years behind bars. She and Debbie swore their love would last forever, but as far as we know, Debbie’s forgotten all about her!

Sadie King in Emmerdale
The iconic ice queen Sadie King arrived in Emmerdale in 2004 shortly after the Kings first came to the village. Jimmy was desperate to start a family with his glamorous wife, but she wasn’t interested and was secretly on contraception behind Jimmy’s back.
When Jimmy found out, he asked for a divorce. Annoyed at the rejection, Sadie started a steamy affair with younger man Robert Sugden.
And that’s when things started to get really messy.

Cheating Charity
At the time, Charity was engaged to King patriarch, Tom (grandad of evil vet Tom King). Knowing her position in the King family was at threat if she divorced Jimmy, Sadie realised she had to make sure Charity didn’t take her place at the top of the King family tree.
So she decided to stop the wedding! She paid Cain – who she was sleeping with – to seduce Charity and take photos, which she showed Tom on the wedding day. Tom – not surprisingly called off the nuptials.
BUT – Charity didn’t take kindly to being made a fool of, so she slept with Jimmy and recorded the whole thing – including him revealing all about Sadie’s scheming. Of course, Charity played the video to the family at Jimmy’s birthday party, things all fell apart and Tom disowned both Jimmy and Sadie.

Sadie’s affairs
Sadie and Cain teamed up to blackmail various rich villagers. She managed to worm her way back into the family business, and got Zoe Tate to sell Home Farm to Tom.
But then Sadie made a mistake when she started an affair with Matthew King – Jimmy’s brother. When Jimmy found out, he told his dad who gave Matthew an ultimatum – the family business, or Sadie.
He chose the business!
Sadie Sinclair
Sadie married Alasdair Sinclair on the rebound, but Matthew declared his love for her, and she soon ditched Alasdair again (fickle, right?!).
She encouraged Matthew to buy a haulage business and planted false information to put his brothers off making a bid.
With Matthew disowned by his family, Sadie paid Cain to sabotage the Kings’ River development. When the show home was unveiled, Tom announced Matthew and Sadie’s engagement, much to Jimmy’s fury.
But he soon had something else to worry about as an explosion ripped through the house, killing Dawn Woods and two others and injuring Jimmy. Matthew was furious about Sadie’s involvement and broke off their romance.
But that wasn’t the end of Sadie’s scheming. She wanted to get even with the Kings so she and Cain plotted to kidnap Tom for a hefty ransom. Sadie posed as a hostage too.
Cain appeared to shoot Sadie, which made the Kings cough up. But that was all part of the scam! She met Cain at a private airfield ready to make their getaway. But it was Cain who got away – taking all the money with him!
Sadie left Emmerdale in disappointment.

Moira isn’t herself and in Emmerdale spoilers for next week, her volatile behaviour is causing serious concern amongst her loved ones.
Cain is convinced his wife has fallen off the wagon and succumbed to her previous alcohol addiction. But it there more to Moira’s problems than a dependency on drink?

Cain and Moira are in crisis in Emmerdale spoilers
Life at Butlers Farm has been far from harmonious recently. Moira has been struggling since son Matty was wrongly imprisoned for stabbing Samson. It’s caused a divide between her and the Dingles, who are, of course, her in-laws.
Moira’s marriage to husband Cain is also on very rocky ground. The couple have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years. But Cain has been finding it almost impossible to cope with Moira’s erratic mood swings.
She’s been picking a fight with just about anyone who gets in her way, and it’s totally out of character. Moira may be strong-minded, but she’s not spiteful, and Cain doesn’t like this new side to his wife.

Cain confronts Moira about her drinking
As the week begins, Cain is impressed to see new farmhand John dealing with one of their big clients. But his mind is soon turned back to Moira – and the bottle of whisky he found in her bag.
Tensions are high as Cain confronts his other half, wanting to know why she’s hiding booze.
Viewers will remember Moira has a long and complicated history with alcohol. She developed an addiction in the aftermath of her affair with Nate, then relapsed when Cain was falsely imprisoned for Al Chapman’s murder. And it appears she’s revisited her old demons after starting to drink on the sly.
There’s further concern for Cain when he witnesses Moira knocking back painkillers. He asks her about the whisky, but she points out the bottle is unopened. Surely that’s not enough to convince Cain she’s sober?
Nate isn’t impressed when Cain accuses him of cheating with Moira, again (Credit: ITV)
Cain gets the wrong idea about Moira and Nate
Following her run-in with Cain, Moira ends up confiding her woes in John. Strange choice – he’s not exactly the sympathetic sort!
Moira admits she’s worried about the state of her marriage and doesn’t know if she and Cain can work through it. But the odds of a reconciliation are looking even less favourable when Cain spies Moira having a drink with Nate.
Seeing the former lovers sat together raises Cain’s suspicions as he wonders if Moira is cheating on him again. He confronts Nate about it, who’s hurt Cain would think such a thing. Nate pleads with Cain to see sense, pointing out their relationship is finally in a good place. But Cain doesn’t want to listen as he storms off to see the kids.
Are Moira and Cain set for another explosive run-in? And will it be the final nail in the coffin for them?
