Laurel and Charles are back on the market in Emmerdale spoilers

You’d think Laurel would want to give men a wide berth after everything Jai has put her through.

The couple’s year-long marriage ended badly after Laurel discovered the extent of Jai’s lies and manipulation. She filed for divorce, but Jai didn’t take it well and has been making Laurel’s life a misery ever since.

Jai has mellowed slightly since Laurel’s lad Arthur returned to the village and gave him what for. He backed down on his bid to take half of Mulberry Cottage, and it’s clear that underneath all the nastiness, Jai still loves Laurel. But would she take him back after everything he’s done? We doubt it!

Charles is also back in the singles club following his split with local GP Manpreet. The vicar called time on their relationship after struggling with trust issues. Charles was also in a bad place following the tragic death of his son, Ethan. But is it really all over between him and Manpreet?

Charles and Laurel get it on!

Autumn is in the air, and Laurel has big ideas for the upcoming village harvest festival. Unfortunately they don’t go down well with Charles, or his opinionated mum, Claudette.

The pair are concerned Laurel’s vision is too modern for their traditional church setting and make their disapproval clear. But Laurel has had enough of being told what to do and decides to crack on regardless.

Later, Charles is livid when he sees Laurel has gone against his wishes. He loses his temper and lays into Laurel. But as she argues back, loathing suddenly turns to lust and the pair start kissing.

Crikey! We didn’t see that one coming. Although, Laurel was married to the late Reverend Ashley Thomas, so she clearly has a thing for a men of the cloth.

Laurel and Charles get caught in the act?

Their unexpected attraction takes both Laurel and Charles by surprise. After exchanging some spikey banter, the pair give into their desires and head upstairs to the bedroom.

Across the village and unaware their exes are getting jiggy, Manpreet and Jai share a heart-to-heart. Jai reveals he wants Laurel back so Manpreet encourages him to be brave and admit his feelings. This also prompts Manpreet to privately consider doing the same with Charles.

After thinking things through, Manpreet decides what she had with Charles is still worth fighting for. She makes her way over to Woodbine ready to win him back. Will she find him in bed with Laurel?

Bad vicars in Emmerdale: When Ethan, Ashley, Harriet and Charles went rogue!

Church curate Ethan Blake is being a very bad boy in Wednesday’s Classic Emmerdale, (July 24).

In the episodes, which originally aired on October 16 and 17, 2005, the supposedly devout Christian was getting intimate with two of his female parishioners.

First, Ethan makes a move on Laurel Potts â€“ girlfriend of his boss, Reverend Ashley Thomas, who he has a huge crush on. He goes in for a kiss during a game of Trivial Pursuit, revealing his true feelings. But unfortunately for Ethan, Laurel’s only got eyes for one man of the cloth and turns him down.

Stung by the rejection, Ethan hits the communion wine and ends up getting jiggy with Kelly Windsor. But when Laurel catches the pair in the act, Ethan cruelly brands Kelly a whore, saying he bedded her because he couldn’t have Laurel. And it’s not long before his immoral antics becomes the talk of the village.

But sleazy Ethan isn’t the only servant of God to cause a stir in Emmerdale. Let’s take a look at the other vicars, past and present, who were more sinners than saintsâ€¦

Ashley Thomas

Dearly departed Ashley Thomas was considered a pillar of the community and everyone mourned his passing in 2018. But the reverend certainly wasn’t holier than thou. He was, in fact, a violent abuser.

Back in 2012, behind the closed doors of the vicarage, Ashley started beating his elderly father, Sandy. The vicar was in bad place after learning his wife Laurel had cheated on him with Marlon Dingle. But that’s no excuse for taking his rage out on a defenceless OAP.

Viewers watched on in horror as frail Sandy was subjected to numerous savage attacks at the hands of his son. The storyline finally came to a head when Laurel caught Ashley harming Sandy and he was arrested.

After that Laurel filed for divorce, Ashley quit his job, became homeless, and started working as a barman at The Woolpack.

But Sandy eventually forgave him and Ashley managed to win back the trust of those he loved. He and Laurel went on to re-marry, and remained together until his death from vascular dementia.

Harriet Finch

As a policewoman-turned-vicar Harriet Finch really should have known right from wrong. But her lust for bad boys often clouded her judgement.

Harriet arrived in 2013 as the new vicar of St Mary’s and enjoyed a brief romance with Ashley Thomas. But it was her next choice of partner that really shocked Harriet’s flock.

In 2017, she embarked on a scandalous affair with local criminal, Cain Dingle, with romps aplenty in the vestry. Harriet was quickly drawn into Cain’s world, getting mixed up with drug dealers and even survived a stabbing. However, the relationship ultimately fizzled when Harriet realised Cain’s heart lay with soulmate, Moira Dingle.

Harriet’s past then returned to haunt her with the arrival of bent copper, DI Malone. It turned out the pair had been lovers when Harriet was working undercover to entrap drug dealer, Will Taylor.

Unable to resist temptation, Harriet fell for Malone’s charms once more and they had sex in her church. Ew!

Having had his wicked way, Malone then began waging a campaign of terror on Harriet and also Will’s daughter, Dawn. A violent confrontation led to Dawn killing Malone, but Harriet assisted in the murder and subsequent cover-up.

Consumed by guilt, Harriet quit the church and returned to policing. But she met her own grisly end in Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary episodes after getting crushed by a quad bike.

Charles Anderson

Current vicar Charles Anderson has gone against the bible time and time again. Quite honestly it’s a miracle the Bishop hasn’t struck this hypocritical holy man off.

His arrival to Emmerdale on Christmas Day 2020 started off with such promise. On first impression, Charles was a kind-hearted soul, devoted to his family and faith. But it transpired he’d committed adultery, cheating on his wife, Esme, when she was in the grips of postnatal depression.

Charles was also less than charitable when it came to reconnecting with his ex-con dad, Victor. He framed his father for theft by planting a stolen necklace on his person. Victor then unexpectedly died of a heart attack, leaving Charles wracked with remorse.

The guilt manifested itself in violence and Charles appalled the locals by attacking Tom King in a drunken rage.

The recent death of his son, Ethan, has seen Charles teetering on the edge once again. Will he go over to the dark side once more?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Charles defeated, Nicky and Suni left

Here’s a recap of tonight’s Emmerdale.

Charles wanted answers, so Caleb told him lies (Credit: ITV)

Caleb confronted by Charles

Charles was snoring his head off on Caleb and Ruby’s sofa and neither Ruby nor Nicky were happy about it at all. “Have you gone absolutely mental?” Nicky shrieked, waking Charles up. He had a point, but maybe he should have lowered his voice.

Later, Charles was telling Caleb how grateful he is for all his support. Then he spilt his coffee all over the rug and insisted on cleaning it up. But while he was getting a cloth he pocketed a letter he spotted.

Charles then insisted on driving Caleb into Hotten for his meeting. But in fact, Charles drove him down a country path into the middle of nowhere. Caleb started to get concerned – took him long enough!

Somehow he agreed to walk with Charles and they ended up deep in the woods. Caleb tried to leave, but Charles got aggressive and demanded to know what happened to Ethan. He had found an invoice from the garage dated the day after Ethan’s accident and deduced Caleb was involved.

Caleb feigned ignorance and tried to talk Charles down. But he was having none of it and wanted answers. Caleb then confessed he ran Ethan over. He claimed Ruby knows nothing about it.

Charles threatened to report Caleb to the police, but Caleb insisted he had a water-tight alibi and he would deny everything. As Charles pinned Caleb up against a tree in a rage, Caleb begged him to calm down.

Charles eventually lost puff and told him to stay away from him and his family.

Defeated Charles returned home with all the fight gone out of him. Caleb then tried to cover his tracks and get their stories straight. But Nicky refused to lie. So where do the Miligans go from here?

Matty confessed in Emmerdale tonight

With Matty was cowering in his prison cell as his cellmate did press ups, Robbo came in and started intimidating him. But Les defended Matty and told Robbo to get lost.

However later Les offered some wisdom that Matty would be better coming clean rather than sneaking off with the staff and raising suspicions. He thought Matty was on methadone, but Matty then decided to reveal his actual secret.

Les was actually really interested and asked a lot of questions. He offered his support, but warned Matty other people might not take it so well. Has Matty done the right thing?

Laurel told Jai they’re done

Laurel definitely had a heart attack and has undergone an angioplasty to widen the artery, which according to Nicola went well.

At the hospital, Gabby was quizzing Jai over why he and Laurel were arguing. But he wasn’t giving anything away. And when Laurel woke up he insisted he would do anything she needed to get her better.

He’d clearly forgotten her ultimatum, but Laurel hadn’t, especially when she realised he hadn’t told Suni. She insisted he had to do it today.

And when Suni came to visit Laurel Jai still couldn’t do it and so she told Suni everything instead.

As the fallout continued, Laurel confided in Nicola and said she didn’t think she could be married to Jai any more. He wanted to put it all behind them, but she had had enough: “I mean it this time. We’re done.”

So long and farewell to Nicky and Suni (Credit: ITV)

Nicky and Suni left in Emmerdale tonight

As Jai begged Suni for forgiveness, Suni was not in a forgiving mood at all. “I’m done with you,” Suni told him.

He then returned home to Nicky and told him what had happened. He said he needed to get as far away from this place as possible and begged Nicky to come with him.

Nicky, who had been wanting to leave for ages, had a change of heart and said he couldn’t leave his mum! However after finding out Caleb had lied to Charles, Nicky said he was done.

He then agreed to leave with Suni. They packed their bags, and their snacks, and Nicky apologised to Charles. Ruby caught them leaving and begged them to stay. But Nicky wasn’t budging on his decision. They got in the car and drove out of Emmerdale.

So it’s bye bye to Suni and Nicky as they drove off into the sunset.

It wasn’t how Mandy saw the evening going (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale tonight: Mandy caused trouble

Mandy was in a state as the beauticians is quiet and she doesn’t have enough work. Paddy tried to cheer her up suggesting they set a wedding date. She didn’t seem keen, worrying Paddy.

Paddy then wanted to double date with Marlon and Rhona – something else Mandy did not seem happy with. Especially when she saw what games Paddy was planning on playing.

It definitely wasn’t a scintillating evening as Mandy drunk more and more and then wanted to dance instead of play. She went on to insult Rhona, telling her she was up tight. Not a great foursome, then.
