    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Charles held a vigil for the crash victims and Cain threatened Caleb

    In Emmerdale tonight, the villagers came together for a vigil held by Charles to mourn Leyla, Suzy and Amy.

    Elsewhere, Cain Dingle threatened Caleb over attempting to set him up.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight (Monday, February 24).

    The villagers attended a vigil

    Charles organised a vigil to mourn those who lost their lives in the limo crash.

    Vanessa decided not to attend, telling Mary: “I don’t want to go and have people telling me how much they miss her because I miss her. I miss her so much.” Mary attended on Vanessa’s behalf. Later, she took a photo of Suzy from the fridge as she hid her true feelings for Suzy.

    Meanwhile, Matty gave Victoria a bracelet that Amy had been wearing, while Jacob Gallagher was touched that Liam had come to support him.

    But things took a turn for the worse when Noah turned up. Probably wasn’t the wisest decision he’s ever made.

    Jacob immediately went on the attack, telling him: “You’ve got balls, turning up to the vigil of the people you killed.”

    Jacob refuses to believe the crash was an accident and also took his frustration out on Sarah. When she asked if the pair of them were OK, he responded: “Stop protecting your family, and we’ll be alright.Do not say he was spiked. He was off his head and that caused your gran to crash. If you want to know the truth, they’re both to blame.”

    Charity tried to discover the truth

    While in hospital, doctors revealed that Noah had drugs in his system and was likely spiked. But with Noah unable to remember anything, Charity has been trying to piece things together.

    Tonight she asked Belle to help her find Jacob’s friend Rich, who Charity believed to be responsible for spiking Noah.

    Charity turned up at The Hide where Belle had arranged to meet Rich. Rich was angry about being blindsided like that and insisted he was innocent.

    He said he wouldn’t spike anyone, and added: “I’m a medical student who saves people. I don’t hurt them.”

    He also listed his phone number and address, telling Charity she was welcome to give them to the police as he had nothing to hide. Once he left, Belle told Charity that she believed him, leaving Charity back at square one.

    Everyone hated Cain in Emmerdale tonight

    Moira and Cain continued to bicker. Moira gave him the cold shoulder, while making digs about his ‘sordid little secret.’

    Kyle was also angry at his dad, telling him that he was supposed to be someone he could look up to. Probably wasn’t wise to have Cain as a role model, Kyle.

    Caleb couldn’t hide his hatred for his brother either, though he has forgiven wife Ruby. When Ruby thanked Caleb for forgiving her, he said she has forgiven him for much worse. She said: “I always will,” before he said: “Remember that for next time.” Sounds ominous.

    John and Aaron having a serious conversation

    The co-conspirators had a meeting

    Aaron revealed to Cain that Caleb had tried to blackmail him into keeping quiet about setting Cain up. Cain later let slip to Steph about her dad’s ‘plan.’ However, when no details were forthcoming, Steph left after telling them all she was determined to find out what was going on.

    With things looking like they were about to kick off, Chas insisted the six of them – her, Cain, Caleb, Ruby, Aaron and John – go into the back room of the pub.

    Cain told them all that Caleb tried to frame him up for Anthony’s death and then blackmailed Aaron. Cain then issued a threat of his own and told Caleb that if he tried anything like that again, he’d be happy to serve time because Caleb would be joining Anthony.

    Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight

    Manpreet acted coy after receiving some messages. When questioned about it, she told Paddy she couldn’t tell him because of client confidentiality. But who is she really messaging?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom destroyed evidence and Jai and Charles came to blows in the village

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom destroyed evidence and Jai and Charles came to blows in the village

    Emmerdale tonight (Monday, October 7) saw Tom King retrieve his tablet containing the damning evidence. As he destroyed it, Carl watched on…

    Meanwhile, Jai and Charles exchanged cross words in the village following the revelation that Laurel and Charles had slept together.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

    Emmerdale tonight: Tom destroyed evidence

    Tom spotted an opportunity to get Isaac alone. He used intimidation techniques before Isaac informed him that the tablet was at home and he knew where the spare key was kept.

    Later, Tom let himself in to Butlers Farm, but he had to hide when Matty came in. At one point Tom lifted a candlestick and prepared himself to hit Matty over the head with it – because that is how normal people react. Fortunately, Matty left after a call from Moira. 

    Meanwhile, Belle asked Moira again if she could remember what she’d seen before her seizure, but the answer was still a firm no.

    Walking home, Belle run in to Tom. Despite telling him he was breaking his bail conditions, Tom wouldn’t let up and told her she’d be the one going jail, not him.

    ‘Think about it for a minute,’ he said. ‘I’ll spell it out for ya, shall I? Local vet, professional member of the community, clean reputation, no criminal record. Not to mention the fact that there is zero evidence… Let me tell you this. You’re going to get sent down for what you’ve done to me and then they’ll lock you up for a very, very long time. Just watch.’

    Talking of evidence, having got the tablet back, Tom set about destroying it. But he didn’t do this in the privacy of his home, oh no, he chose to do it outside in the middle of the village where anyone could watch him – including his young cousin Carl, who had a front row seat from the window. But will it help Belle?

    Charles and Jai clashed

    Spotting Charles in the village, Jai couldn’t resist having a dig and quipped: ‘Managed to keep yourself out the congregation’s knickers?’

    He also threatened to tell the bishop and insulted Laurel by suggesting she had a bit of a thing for vicars. Charles squared up to Jai, but they were stopped by Manpreet before things could get out of hand.

    Manpreet then had her own thoughts to share with Charles and told him he should behave in a way befitting his position.

    Later, Charles told Laurel that things were too complicated and that they shouldn’t see each other anymore. Laurel said that was fine – but her face didn’t get that memo and clearly said that she was absolutely not fine.

    Emmerdale tonight: 1-0 to Kim

    Will invited Jimmy round for a lads day to try and clear the air following their recent falling out.

    Kim returned home and remarked that the place smelt like a kebab shop. Determined to annoy Kim, Will opened his can of beer and it fizzled all over the mirror. Will found this more amusing than perhaps a man of his age should.

    But regardless, this is Kim Tate we’re talking about and nobody gets one over on Kim. Walking down the stairs dressed to the nines, she opened the door and let her financial advisor Peter in.

    ‘I’ll be late, so apologies for any noise later. Not sure I’ll be able to keep it quiet,’ she told Will, while Jimmy sat there catching flies.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Arthur apologised to John for lying about sleeping with him. He said he did it as he wanted to seem mature. Laurel also apologised to John for not believing him.

    But later at home, still reeling from being dumped by the vicar, Laurel told Arthur that an apology isn’t good enough and he needs to take responsibility for his actions.

    Elsewhere, Billy gave Dawn some money, claiming it was from a client. But after she hugged him, he flinched in pain before it was revealed he had boxing gloves in his bag. He’s clearly hiding something and nothing stays secret in the Dales for long.

    Life in the Thomas household is far from harmonious. Arthur is angry with Laurel for sleeping with Charles and she won’t forgive him for outing their affair to Jai.

    It all kicked off after Laurel overheard Arthur bragging about sleeping with John Sugden. It was just a silly fib, made up to impress April, but Laurel didn’t realise. She publicly accused John of taking advantage of her son, and Arthur responded by revealing her fling with Charles.

    Jai was horrified to realise Laurel had been sleeping with Charles, and now he’s on the warpath. We bet Arthur ever regrets opening his mouth!

    Later, there’s a breakthrough when Laurel and Arthur appear to be back on good terms. But is Laurel about to undo all of Nicola’s good work?

  • ‘Can’t they think of a better storyline for Laurel?’ sigh fans as they brand her ‘village bike’ after sleeping with Charles

    ‘Can’t they think of a better storyline for Laurel?’ sigh fans as they brand her ‘village bike’ after sleeping with Charles

    Emmerdale last night was an horrific episode – and not just thanks to Belle and Tom, but also due to Laurel Thomas. The former vicar’s wife has turned her attention to another man of the cloth, sleeping with Charles Anderson.

    This can only end one way: badly, and fans certainly agree. They are not impressed with the latest offering for long-standing character Laurel and want the soap to give her something better to do.

    Laurel and Charles sleep together in Emmerdale

    Laurel has been throwing herself into planning the Harvest Festival to take her mind off her bitter divorce from Jai Sharma. She’s keen to get back involved with the church she’s had very little to do with since her husband Ashley died. That aside, she wants to modernise and help current vicar Charles keep the community coming to the services.

    But Charles is a bit stuck in his ways and bows down to his mother, Claudette, and her very traditional views. So Laurel’s ideas of a disco, karaoke and feeding the hungry with veg from Liam’s allotment have gone down like a cup of cold sick.

    Airing her annoyance to Manpreet, Charles overheard and wasn’t happy. But it did spear Laurel and Manpreet to become besties overnight. Something which has been severely tested now…

    After Charles sacked her from the committee, Laurel went to give him a piece of her mind. But she ended up kissing him after giving him an earful! Then they headed to the bedroom.

    When Manpreet came round to see Charles and tell him she wants him back, she was dismayed to see he was doing up his shirt and Laurel’s coat was there. She put two and two together and got four and she was right. Oops.

    Fans react

    So Laurel’s feeling terrible for breaking girl code, she and Charles have agreed it won’t happen again, Manpreet’s not impressed, and no doubt Jai will be fuming when he finds out, and it’s all a big mess.

    Those watching at home also agree it was not the smartest move – and have hit out at the soap for not giving Laurel something better to do.

    “Laurel is the village’s answer to what has become a London fixture, bike for hire…” joked one. Others agreed: “Village bike,” and “Laurel the village bike,” they commented.

    Someone else said: “Laurel – is that all they can do with her character? Local bike, so nearly everyone gets a go??”

    “For a series with a predominantly female team behind the scenes you would think that one decent female character would exist in an entire village. What have they done to Laurel?” mused one more.

    Another said: Randy old vicar! The thought of Charles and Laurel has proper give me the ick! Emmerdale writers are getting desperate now …. Purrleese!”

    So, are they the next big thing? Or should they leave it there and never make us watch that again? We’re going with the latter.

  • As Laurel has a passionate encounter with Charles, all the bad romance choices she’s made!

    As Laurel has a passionate encounter with Charles, all the bad romance choices she’s made!

    Laurel and Charles had an unexpected and very passionate encounter in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale. One minute they were yelling at one another and the next, they were snogging the faces off each other.

    Frankly, we’re not sure how we feel about this, erm, liaison. Charles just appears to be yet another bad decision on Laurel’s part. And she is no stranger to hooking up with the wrong blokes.

    We’re not sure where Laurel and Charles is going but in the meantime, here’s our round up of Laurel’s dreadful taste in men!

    Bad timing with Marlon Dingle

    This is a bit unfair, really, because other than an emotional kiss with dying ex-wife Donna, Marlon really didn’t do anything wrong. But he was definitely the wrong man for Laurel at the wrong time.

    When they first fell for each other, she was still married to Ashley and she and Marlon agreed to put their feelings aside.

    But after they split, she and Marlon got together and planned their wedding. Once they’d tied the knot though, having dealt with Laurel’s carjacking, and the death of Donna, Laurel began descending into alcoholism. Her behaviour led to the break-up of their marriage.

    A stranger in a bar

    When Laurel was at the lowest point of her addiction, she went off drinking in a bar, and flirted with a stranger in order to get him to buy her booze. She ended up spending the night with him, and it was after that she realised she needed help to kick her drinking habit. So in some ways, he did her a favour!

    Making mistakes with Bob Hope

    We’d have expected it from serial cheat Bob, but everyone was surprised when Laurel succumbed to his charms back in 2018, when he was with Brenda. Laurel was still grieving the loss of Ashley, and turned to his best friend for comfort – blowing apart his family and hurting her own in the process.

    Bob and Laurel never really had any proper chemistry. They quickly realised their romance was a mistake, though too late to spare any hurt or save Bob’s marriage, and it was no surprise when they split.

    Marriage to Jai Sharma

    They were quite sweet at first, were Jai and Laurel. Two former addicts, both single parents, both with (a lot!) of baggage. They muddled through tough times including terminating Laurel’s unplanned pregnancy, and seemed to be making a success of their blended family.

    But then Jai’s lies, schemes and deceptions caught up with him. Of course, Laurel had already forgiven him for his financial fibs but lying about what happened to Amit, and scamming cousin Suni out of his share in the Hide was a step too far. Enough was enough – Laurel called it quits and Jai is FUMING.

    Laurel and Charles Anderson in Emmerdale

    She may have a thing for vicars but we’re pretty sure Charles is not the one for Laurel.  We can’t see Laurel and Charles making a go of things. After all, he’s fickle, opinionated, and the only woman he really pays attention to is his mum, Claudette.

    We’re very much hoping their afternoon delight was just a rebound thing and not the beginning of yet another doomed romance for Laurel!

    1. Belle hopes Amelia is starting to see the light

    Belle has been doing everything in her power to make Amelia see what kind of a monster Tom is. So far, the teen mum has been refusing to hear a bad word said against her boyfriend and refuses to be believe he’s a violent abuser.

    But it seems Belle’s pleas may finally have been heard when Amelia agrees to talk.

    She asks Belle if they can meet at Wishing Well to discuss everything and Belle is only too happy to agree. She makes sure they’ve got the PLACE to themselves then waits for Amelia to show.

    But unbeknownst to Belle, it’s another one of Tom’s traps, which she’s fallen straight into.

    Belle hears the door open and turns round to see Tom standing there.

    The pair haven’t come face-to-face for a few weeks since Tom vanished from the village in the wake of his sacking. Belle is understandably terrified as she realises Tom must have used Amelia to get her alone.

    Tom is out for revenge after Belle outed his abuse to the whole village, and as she tries to escape he blocks her exit and proceeds to lock the doors. Belle is trapped with no way out and could be in mortal danger.

    Is tragedy about to strike?

    Laurel and Charles are sneaking around in Emmerdale spoilers

    Laurel and Charles’s passionate fling has taken them, and us, by surprise. Up until recently they were nothing more than neighbours, but that all changed after a row over the church harvest festival of all things!

    Tensions flared when Laurel unveiled her plans for the event and Charles deemed them too modern for a church setting. Laurel went ahead regardless and Charles was furious at not being listened to.

    The pair wound up in a furious quarrel at Woodbine Cottage. But in the heat of the moment, passion took over and Laurel ended up in bed with the local vicar. Deja-vu!

    Meanwhile, Laurel’s estranged hubby Jai and Charles’s former love Manpreet got talking and decided they wanted to try and win their exes back. Manpreet arrived at Woodbine ready to declare her feelings and almost caught Charles and Laurel in the act!

    Will they be so lucky second time around?

    Arthur catches Laurel and Charles in the act

    Nosey Nicola picks up on the tension between Charles and Laurel and wants to know what’s going on between them. She confronts Laurel, who admits they slept together, but it was a one-off. But it’s clear Laurel is torn when Nicola questions why the fling is over.

    Afterwards, Laurel meets up with Charles to talk about what happened, and they both agree to call it a day. However, temptation proves too powerful to resist and the lusty duo start snogging again.

    This time, they’re caught out when Arthur suddenly walks in and witnesses their passion. Embarrassed, Laurel pleads with her son not to tell anyone what he saw, through fear of it getting back to Jai.

    Everyone is stunned, and no one more so than Jai, who is standing right near Arthur when he spills the beans.

    Jai recently confided in Charles that he was still in love with Laurel and regretted their split. So how will he react to the news that they’ve jumped into bed together? Are Charles and Laurel going to find themselves in Jai’s firing line for their ‘betrayal’?

    4 Spoilers for tonight, Tuesday September 24: Lydia revisits her painful past to help Belle get justice and Charles clashes with Laurel

    Lydia reopens old wounds in tonight’s Emmerdale spoilers as she confides in Belle about her rape ordeal at the hands of Craig Reed. But will her act of bravery inspire Belle to go to the police about Tom?

    Belle has a big decision to make in Emmerdale spoilers

    1. Tom’s abuse has left Belle feeling violated

    Belle is still reeling from the discovery that Tom was spying on her.

    After being alerted by Kim that Dale Head was in a mess, Belle paid a visit to her former marital home. Inside, she discovered a screw lying on the floor and realised, to her horror, it belonged to a camera.

    Belle knew in that moment that Tom must have rigged the device up and been using it to secretly film her. This is just the latest in a long line of sickening crimes, which so far, Tom has got away with.

    But will Belle change that by going to the police?

    2. Belle refuses to report Tom

    Concerned for Belle’s safety with Tom still on the loose, Lydia gently urges her to go to the police. But sadly it’s no use. Belle refuses to report Tom through fear of having to relive her trauma and share personal footage in a public court room.

    However, after taking some time to reflect on everything, Belle starts to come round to the idea.

    She goes to Lydia for support, and asks if she’ll share her own experience of turning Craig into the cops.

    3. Lydia opens up to Belle

    Despite the trauma of having to revisit harrowing memories, Lydia agrees to share her story with Belle in the hope it will inspire her to take action.

    Afterwards, the ladies gaze over the Dingle land as they reflect on their difficult day. Belle is feeling thoughtful, but comforted by Lydia’s support.

    United together, Lydia hopes she’s said enough to encourage Belle to go to the police. Is justice finally about to be served? And will the police be able to locate Tom?

    Laurel has big ideas how to inject a bit of fun into the upcoming harvest festival.

    She unveils her plans to Charles and Claudette – but doesn’t quite get the reaction she was hoping for. Mum and son think Laurel’s vision is far too modern for their traditional church and make their disapproval clear.

    But will Laurel respect their wishes and back down? Or is there trouble ahead?
