Billy is hiding something from Dawn, and in Emmerdale spoilers for next week, he spins her a lie about his finances. With his wife out of earshot, Billy then makes a furtive call asking someone for more work. What’s he up to?

There’s drama for Dawn and Billy in Emmerdale spoilers
It really hasn’t been the easiest year for Billy and Dawn. The Fletchers were dealt the cruelest of blows when baby son Evan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the start of 2024. The tot has been undergoing treatment since, which has been hard on the whole family.
Dawn’s estranged mum, Rose also reentered her life. After a difficult reunion, Dawn slowly began to rebuild her relationship with the woman who’d walked out when she was a toddler. But what Dawn didn’t realise at the time was that Rose was working with Ruby to destroy Will and Kim’s lives.
When the truth did emerge, Dawn also discovered Will and Kim had paid Rose to leave the village then covered it up. Dawn forgave her mum for what she’d done, but couldn’t get past Will’s lies. She disowned her dad and declared she wanted nothing more to do with him.
Dawn, Billy and Evan then packed their bags and moved out of Home Farm. Having left the comforts of the country manor, the trio relocated to Holdgate, where they’re now paying landlord Jai an eye-watering monthly rent to live in his pad.
You’d think money would be in short supply, but Billy seems to have laid his hands on some. Now unless he’s suddenly upped his charge for PT sessions, something shifty is definitely going on.

Billy is rumbled
Dawn is surprised when she comes across a wad of crisp notes hidden in the house and decides to confront Billy. Dawn demands to know where he got that sum of money from and why he kept it from her.
But instead of telling Dawn the truth, Billy makes out it’s money he was saving towards a surprise for her. Yeah right!
Dawn falls for Billy’s fib. She feels bad for doubting her husband, and forgives him.

Billy makes a secret phone call
As Dawn heads back upstairs, Billy pulls his phone out to make a secret call.
Speaking in hushed tones so his wife can’t hear, Billy asks the person on the other end for more work. That sounds very dodgy to us.
So what exactly is Billy up to? Who is paying him? And why is he hiding it from Dawn?
In next week’s Emmerdale spoilers, anxious Will prepares to come face-to-face with his mystery blackmailer. He arranges to meet with the tormentor just outside the village.
But things don’t go to plan when Will gets caught up in the blaze at Butlers barn. Will this mean he misses his meeting? And how grave will the consequences be?

Someone is out to get Will in Emmerdale spoilers
Will’s past sins have come back to haunt him. Dawn has disowned him after discovering he lied about Rose’s disappearance. His marriage to Kim is on the rocks, and now Will has a blackmailer on his case.
It all started with a string of threatening messages, which Will was convinced were being sent by Rose. But that wasn’t the case. Will discovered Rose was in Ibiza and he was back at square one.
The blackmailer then upped the ante, sending photoshopped pornographic images of Will and Rose. A further deep fake video arrived, and Will’s tormentor demanded a hefty £10k for the silence.
Will is refusing to go to the police through fear of Kim finding out he cheated with Rose. He’s also stressing where he’ll find the funds to pay this person off. But his extortionist isn’t going to back down until they get what they want.
The identity of Will’s blackmailer remains unknown (Credit: ITV)
Will prepares to meet his fate
Will is on edge as he waits to hear again from the blackmailer. But, despite his fear, he’s determined to find out who’s got it in for him.
Preparing to meet his fate, Will makes contact with the enemy and agrees to hand over the money.
Soon a nervous Will is sat in a lay-by waiting for his blackmailer to show. But events take an unexpected turn when Caleb comes rushing over. He informs Will of the drama unfolding at Butlers.
There’s a fire raging in one of the barns and Moira and Ruby are trapped inside! What will Will do now?

Will’s blackmailer is on the warpath
With lives on the line, Will rushes to help. He follows Caleb towards the burning barn and hides his blackmail money.
In the mayhem, Will ends up missing his drop and the blackmailer is not happy!
They call Will, leaving him a threatening message that sends chills down his spine. Struggling to control his fear over what his tormentor might do next, Will must also support the Dingles at the barn fire.
This Emmerdale review might be a bit prickly, as that’s exactly how we’re feeling after this week’s episodes!
Because everyone’s just been SO annoying.
Whether it’s sanctimonious Dawn, stubborn Cain, mouthy Mack, or gullible Jai, hardly anyone has impressed us this week.
Here’s who we’ve got beef with in this week’s Emmerdale review.
Dawn’s annoyed with her dad (Credit: ITV)
Dawn’s whining – again
We were very disappointed in Will Taylor when he gave into temptation and slept with ex-wife, Rose. So it’s a bit of surprise to all of us that we’re now feeling a little bit sorry for him. A teeny, tiny bit.
Because the flashbacks explaining what happened with Rose just made everything way more complicated. Here’s the story as far as we understand it: As part of her deal with Ruby, Rose (accidentally) drugged her addict daughter.
Will and Kim told her to leave the village, trying to protect Dawn from the truth about her mother. Dawn happened to drive past, took her mum to the airport, and pretended she was missing.
Now Dawn’s angry with Will for thinking Kim might have killed the mum she knew was alive, and for not contacting Rose directly when she lied that Evan needed a bone marrow transplant. In short, she’s annoyed about two things that didn’t actually happen.
And it’s a bit odd to pretend she doesn’t know how far Will and Kim are prepared to go to protect their family – has Dawn forgotten Malone? The man she killed?
It seems Dawn has indeed had a Moira-style memory lapse when it comes to her own guilty conscience. She’s ignoring the fact that Will covered up her crime, and Kim stepped in and sorted it all out, getting rid of the body when it looked like it was about to be discovered.
So frankly, we think it’s a bit late for Dawn to start getting all holier than thou about the morals of her dad and step-mum. (We are still cross with Will about the whole Rose thing, mind you.)
It’s obvious to everyone that something’s not right with Moira (Credit: ITV)
Cain’s a big let down in our Emmerdale review
Moira’s health issues worsened this week – her lapses are becoming more frequent, she had a seizure and slept in the barn, she’s forgetting just about everything, and her behaviour is wildly unpredictable. It’s obvious to just about everyone from her sister-in-law Chas to her young son Isaac that something’s not right.
But apparently, not to her husband Cain. Nope. He’s just too busy stomping around, throwing accusations in Moira’s face and, as Chas said, rolling his eyes, to consider his wife could be really poorly. Even when she told him she was ill, he didn’t take her seriously.
We’re worried Moira’s in trouble and things could take a terrifying turn for the worse – but will Cain even notice? He’s really let poor Moira down this time.
We’re sorry the bull didn’t finish Mack off (Credit: ITV)
Mack’s mouthing off
We are constantly bewildered by Mackenzie Boyd. He’s like an overgrown toddler in a lumberjack shirt. His ridiculous feud with John Sugden is exhausting and him marching round the village telling everyone it was John who let the bull out, made us roll our eyes, Cain-style.
We’re just disappointed that despite his dramatic collapse and him being carted off in an ambulance, Mack seems to be unscathed by his bull adventure. Just as he was was totally fine after being stabbed or plunging over a cliff in a car, or any of the other disasters he’s experienced.
Ah well, maybe next time, eh?
He’s not your friend, Jai (Credit: ITV)
Jai’s an idiot
Almost everyone in the village has warned Jai not to trust Caleb. But apparently, Jai is still *checks notes* trusting Caleb.
Well. Sort of.
After an intervention from Arthur, Jai did tell Laurel he’s not going to claim half her house. But he’s in it up to his neck with Mr Miligan and we can’t wait to see him discover just how untrustworthy Caleb can really be.
Aaron and John are an unexpected joy (Credit: ITV)
Unexpected treats
It’s not all bad though – there were some joyful moments in this week’s episodes. Gabby and Vinny are super cute together and we’re hoping they stay the distance. We’re glad to see Arthur back and looking out for his mum.
We loved John’s moment of being a protective big brother to Victoria, and while we’re on the subject of John – we are surprisingly and unexpectedly loving his fling with Aaron. It’s nice to see both those big grumpy lads cracking a smile for once!
They have short memories over in Emmerdale – namely Dawn, whose judgemental nature has caused fans to ask if she remembers shooting Malone.
In recent Emmerdale scenes, Dawn disowned her dad over his lies about her mum, Rose.
But given her history, is Dawn being harsh on the man who helped her cover up a murder?

Who was Malone?
DI Mark Malone was a bent police officer who appeared in Emmerdale in 2020. He was also the boss of a criminal gang, who Will Taylor once worked for.
During his short stay in the village, Malone managed to blackmail Will, Cain and Billy into working for him.
Malone later threatened Billy, saying he had the whole police force in his pocket and could get Billy sent down for years on fake assault charges.
Malone then threatened Will’s daughter Dawn, and tried to convince her to take a fatal overdose of heroin. Fortunately, Harriet came to the rescue and hit Malone over the head with an ornament – an action both ladies thought had killed him.
However, an angry Malone woke up and attempted to attack Dawn and Harriet. Dawn instinctively reached for Malone’s gun and shot him three times, resulting in his death. Harriet suggested burying him in an already occupied grave.
Malone was killed (Credit: ITV)
Will helped Dawn cover up her crime
Initially hiding what she had done from her father, Dawn eventually told her dad the truth when he was questioned about Malone’s disappearance.
Disaster struck later that year when a woman arrived in the village and announced she was the daughter of the man in the graveyard beneath where they had buried Malone – and she wanted to dig him up.
Wanting to protect his daughter, Will took control of the situation and decided they should re-bury Malone in a secluded spot of land at Home Farm.
Kim later revealed to Will that she’d asked a shady contact to dig up the body and destroy it, meaning that Will and Dawn didn’t need to worry about Malone anymore.
Dawn is being harsh on Will
With all that in mind, fans have rightly pointed out how hypocritical Dawn is being in current Emmerdale storylines.
Will and Kim recently paid Dawn’s mum Rose money to leave the village. Dawn discovered this but pleaded ignorance in an attempt to trick her dad into revealing the truth.
However, when he was more worried about protecting Kim than Rose’s potential demise, Dawn told her dad she didn’t want to see him again. Something which has angered viewers.
“Oh Dawn get off your high horse. You killed someone, hid the body and let Kim sort it for you. You sponge off her and live with your whole family in her home. Whiny mare,” one fan said on X.
While another added: “Dawn is such an ungrateful [bleep], dad literally covered up a murder for her and she’s like ‘I hate you!!!’”
“I don’t remember Dawn being so judgemental when her dad and Kim helped her hide the body of the man she murdered,” said a third fan. With a fourth writing: “Dawn is so ungrateful. Kim and Will have helped her get away with murder (literally), provided a stable home for her to prove she is a good mother to social services, Kim accepted her and the kids as family and in her home and all Dawn can do is moan!”
Emmerdale fans have been left stunned after finding out much it costs to live in the village. In Tuesday’s episode (August 27), Dawn and Billy got set to move into Holdgate after leaving Home Farm.
During an exchange with Jai, it was revealed exactly how much Dawn and Billy will be forking out on a monthly basis to pay for the property. Fans were left in disbelief by the extortionate figure – and so were we!
Here’s all you need to know about Dawn and Billy’s very expensive move to Holdgate in Emmerdale.

Dawn and Billy rent Holdgate
In Tuesday’s episode, Dawn and Billy put their plans into action after deciding to move out of Home Farm. Following plenty of drama with Rose, Will and Kim, Dawn decided she wanted to leave the home.
As a result, she and Billy will now be renting Holdgate from Jai. He revealed the property was partly-furnished and ready immediately for the couple and their kids to move into. A quick turnaround then?!
Dawn handed over the signed contract along with a brown envelope containing a WHOPPING £10,000 in cash, stating this would cover four months worth of rent. This means it costs £2,500 per month to live at Holdgate before bills?! Wowzers!

Emmerdale fans react to village rent prices
Emmerdale fans were left shocked by Jai’s rental price for Holdgate Farm, with many surprised to learn it would cost over £2,000 per month to live in the village – before any other bills are added. Taking to social media, dozens of soap viewers pointed out how extortionate the price seemed, especially considering the property is located in a small village.
“£10k for 4 months rent? Meaning £2500 a month for rent! In a village, not a big city nor is it a mansion,” one person wrote on X, while another said: “10k for 4 months rent?”
A third Emmerdale fan added: “Did Dawn just give Jai 10 grand and say that’s 4 months rent?” Meanwhile, a final fan said: “£2,500 a month to live beside the Dingles.”
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.
Moira is clearly rather ill (Credit: ITV)
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.
Caleb put his plan into action (Credit: ITV)
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?
Emmerdale finally revealed tonight what actually happened to Rose after her mysterious disappearance last month…
We were hoping for a huge revelation to come out but it turns out that Dawn just picked her up from the side of the road and drove her to the airport (we fear this episode was well and truly overhyped!)
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Monday, August 26th.
Rose is probably living it up in the sun (Credit: ITV)
Flashback scenes revealed the truth about Rose
Dawn confronted Will over what happened to Rose tonight, admitting that she’d known the truth about Rose’s disappearance all along but had kept quiet.
She’d been the one to drive by Rose at the side of the road, getting out of her car and confronting her over the voice message she’d received.
In flashback scenes, Rose then confessed EVERYTHING, admitting that Kim and Will had wanted her gone. Dawn was less than impressed when she found an envelope of money stashed in Rose’s bag, realising that the couple had paid her to leave.
After finding out that Rose had spiked her drink, Dawn willingly took the wad of cash back from Rose and… drove her to the airport.
YES, after all that… nothing bad happened to Rose at all. She’s now living it up in the sun somewhere abroad, perfectly alive.
Livid with Will’s betrayal, Dawn then chucked the cash at him and told him to stay away from her and her family. Oh, she means business! Nobody’s going to get on the wrong side of Dawn again after this one.
She then packed her bags and decided to leave Home Farm with Billy, whilst revealing that she lied about Evan needing a bone marrow transplant just to play on her dad’s emotions. A well thought out but low move from Dawn, we’ll say!
Great cover story there Caleb (Credit: ITV)
Caleb and Jai both love a bit of Tay-Tay
In the Wooly, Caleb and Jai toasted to their new deal as Caleb prepared to cause chaos at the Haulage.
However, Chas soon started wondering why they were acting so pally with each other all of a sudden. Caleb then quickly covered, suggesting that they were both trying to decide on the best Taylor Swift song of all-time. Jai claimed ‘Love Story,’ whilst Caleb declared ‘All Too Well’ as the reigning champion.
Come on lads, we all know that ‘Long Live’ is the ultimate T-Swift tune, don’t we?!
John was learning the ropes (Credit: ITV)
Warwick Pies are a very big deal
Now that he’s sticking around for a while, John started to learn the ropes to his new job up at the farm.
He soon started to bicker with Nate and Mack though, putting himself in charge despite being the newbie.
Unhappy to be answering the phone and making tea rather than putting in some proper graft outside, Cain then told John that the customer on the phone was Warwick Pies – a big deal. If John took anything away from today, it’s that he should never underestimate the importance of Warwick Pies. Ever. Again.
Moira’s gift didn’t go down well with Cain
Nate and Mack wondered why Moira had simply gone away for the night, with the only person in the know being Kyle.
When Moira returned, Cain and Moira failed to see eye to eye as Moira celebrated her new bull for the farm.
Cain was less than impressed to spot a bottle of booze in his wife’s bag. She told him that she’d brought it as a gift for him but Cain wasn’t that accepting of it. Sounds like a load of bull to us, Moira!
Ella didn’t go to prison like she’d hoped (Credit: ITV)
Ella apologised to Wendy
After her recent outburst, Ella entered the Woolpack and thanked Wendy for dropping the charges (how nice of her!)
Wendy really didn’t want to hear it but admitted that she’d only dropped them to make things easier for everyone at work. Taking one for the team Wendy, good for you!
This week’s Emmerdale review is an emotional rollercoaster – just like the soap itself! We’ve been pulled every which way this week and frankly we don’t know whether we’re happy, sad or just plain confused!
Read on to find out what’s been leaving our heads in a spin in this week’s Emmerdale review.
Piper’s alive! But Tom’s still evil (Credit: ITV)
Piper’s alive!
Of course the big revelation this week was that poor Piper, Belle’s beloved pooch, is ALIVE!
We have to admit, we had our suspicions. We’ve been soap fans long enough to know that, in the words of Taylor Swift, ‘no body, no crime’.
But even though we didn’t see Tom run Piper over, we wondered if we were being a bit hopeful. Maybe the soap rules were different for animals. And things did look bleak when Tom brought Piper’s little wicker coffin up to Wishing Well to bury her beside Belle’s Shetland pony, Hamish.
And then! The best twist ever! Piper’s alive! For a second we were thrilled to bits. Except, Tom’s given her away, and Belle still thinks she’s dead. How evil can one man be?! Honestly, THIS is what we mean by an emotional rollercoaster!
Ella was furious when Amelia posted a photo of her on the salon socials (Credit: ITV)
Ella lashes out!
We can’t quite get to grips with how we’re supposed to feel about child killer Ella.
On the one hand, she’s done her time and everyone deserves a second chance. On the other – she doesn’t exactly help herself, does she?!
This week, when Gary – the cousin of her victim, Joanne – turned up at Ella’s birthday celebrations, Ella lost it.
Wendy tried to help but Ella lashed out, giving poor Wendy a huge thump in the face and scaring her. It turned out Ella wanted to be sent back to prison – the only real home she’d ever had.
But on top of our conflicted feelings about Ella, we also felt a bit odd about Liam and Manpreet trying to gaslight a frightened and battered Wendy into withdrawing her statement. Ella may have had her reasons, but she still attacked Wendy.
Maybe we just need to get to know Ella better, but for now, the jury’s out on how we feel about this former jailbird.
Jai’s up to something, but so is Caleb (Credit: ITV)
Jai and Laurel’s money battle
Jai and Laurel’s divorce is becoming more acrimonious by the day and this week things took a turn. Except we’re not quite sure what’s going on.
Everyone’s lying and scheming and covering things up and now Caleb seems to be involved and we’re completely baffled.
All we really know is we’re totally Team Laurel!
Will’s fretting (Credit: ITV)
What’s Dawn up to in our Emmerdale review?
So Rose vanished, Will thinks Kim is responsible, Kim thinks Will did it, and she’s gone off to Dubai which makes Will even more suspicious that she’s the guilty party.
Meanwhile, Will’s sending Dawn messages from Rose’s phone and fretting, while Dawn worries about where her mum is.
Except.
In Friday’s episode we discovered that Dawn’s been lying. She’s setting Will up for something and we’re not sure who’s in on it? Is this Dawn working with Rose to take revenge on her dad?
Or is it Dawn and Kim who have teamed up? Could Dawn, Kim AND Rose all be in on it? What even is IT? We’re so confused – and looking forward to next week’s episodes when hopefully it’ll all be explained.

Emmerdale tonight saw Ella get released from custody, Wendy accuse Liam and Manpreet of pressuring her and a twist that saw Dawn lie to her father and promise his downfall.
Elsewhere, Cain appeared to be emulating his wife’s alcoholic behaviour and taking out his anger on his kids while taking a swig of beer. Thank goodness Chas was there to save the day…
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Friday, August 23.
Ella was released from custody after Wendy dropped the charges (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale tonight: Confusion over Ella
Mandy, Manpreet and Liam started the episode by discussing (over a coffee and a cake, of course) why Ella acted out with a huge carrot cake. Previous misdeeds aside, the trio couldn’t figure out why Ella acted supposedly out of character.
Ever the voice of reason, Manpreet emphasised that she probably felt more comfortable in prison than around them due to her previous residencies there. This appeared to give Mandy a wave of understanding.
Mastermind Liam thought it would be a smart idea to go straight to the source and try to get Wendy to drop her new charges. He and Manpreet headed straight over to hers.
Despite her badly bruised nose, Liam and Manpreet tried to plead Ella’s case to Wendy by telling she simply missed prison. Wendy was not sure and tried to back out of their request.
She quickly ushered her colleagues out of the door to get back to resting.
Emmerdale tonight: Ella’s great escape
Later, Ella sat in an interview room and admitted she was wrong. Her lawyer (bless her) tried to guide her towards innocence, but in true Ella-fashion, she decided to speak her mind. She then learned that Liam had chose her solicitor, which left her confused.
“They’re gonna bang me up,” Ella added after her I-don’t-care interview performance. To her supposed dismay, she was released after Wendy decided to drop the charges.
Upon her arrival back in the village, Mandy and Liam were delighted to see her. Liam offered her his spare room on a friendship basis. When they arrived, Liam grew extremely awkward and said Ella can leave her bra wherever she wants (Oh, Liam…)
To avoid more embarrassing underwear talk, he headed to The Woolpack to pick up two lasagnes and stick toffee pudding (good choice!) but bumped into Wendy. After hearing Ella had moved in with Liam, Wendy grew angry and accused him of pressuring her to drop the charges (we don’t blame her!)
Will was worried when Dawn brought news (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale tonight: Will’s lies
Will undertook his grandfather duties and looked after Clemmie. He encouraged them to go for a picnic, but Clemmie said she missed her Granny Rose. To this, Will gave a hard blow and explained that she’s never coming back.
Later, when Dawn returned she revealed that Evan might need a bone marrow transplant. To do this, the whole family needed to be tested to see if they are matches.
The whole family means… the whole family. Will became physically uncomfortable at the mention of Rose’s name and said she probably wouldn’t even do it if she even bothered to reply.
Dawn did not listen and stormed off saying that it needed to be done. Later, Will did some furniture repositioning to reveal he had Rose’s phone.
He took it out and sent an undercover message to Dawn pretending to be Rose. He wrote that she is ‘never coming back.’
The plot quickly thickened, however, when Dawn received a mystery call where she told Billy that her father fell for all of her lies. She then promised his downfall… Does she actually know what happened to Rose?
Emmerdale tonight: Where’s Moira?
Cain appeared to wake up on the wrong side of the bed after Moira went AWOL. He shouted at the kids after they asked for chocolate spread over a cheese sarnie (I mean, which child wouldn’t?) and told them to put up with it.
Kyle and Isaac refused to put up with it and said it wasn’t their fault Moira wasn’t speaking to him. Good for them…
Later when playing video games and after Cain had wiped off the pie on his face, the kids revealed that Moira would not be returning that night as she sent them a message.
Cain got angry again, but Chas told him to calm down and apologised on their behalf. She warned him not to fall into Moira’s alcoholic tendencies after he took a huge swig of beer.
Jai and Laurel continued their feud (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale tonight: Jai’s woes
Jai and Laurel experienced a chill in mid-summer after they shared a frosty exchange where Laurel packed all of his furniture into a moving truck and took it to his new place.
After angry comments about financial issues, Laurel quickly changed her views and asked him to be amicable. After considering it, Jai seemed to ignore her request.
Caleb, who always seems to seize the perfect moment, cornered him later as he was unpacking. He first insulted him for looking poor, to which Jai seemed strangely delighted. The perfect look for a divorcee, so he claimed.
Caleb then emphasised that Jai should invest his money into land they were hoping to buy. He claimed Jai would be rich within a year.
Will the proposition go well? Or is this a trap for Jai and his money?
In Emmerdale spoilers for Friday August 23, the pressure is on for Will as Dawn tries to find missing Rose. Dawn is desperate to let her mum know cancer-stricken Evan may need a bone marrow transplant.
The urgency of Rose’s search leaves Will consumed with guilt and forces him to make his riskiest move yet. Is he about to get caught out?
Will’s web of lies is unravelling in Emmerdale spoilers
Will isn’t being honest with Dawn about Rose’s disappearance (Credit: ITV)
1. Will is hiding secrets about Rose
Rose is still missing and suspicions are starting to mount over her disappearance. Viewers will remember Rose vanished into thin air after her plot to destroy Kim was exposed.
Part of that plot involved Rose seducing Will into bed, an encounter which he instantly regretted. Kim then discovered Rose and Ruby were conspiring against her and informed Will.
The couple ordered Rose out of their lives and abandoned her by the side of a countryside road. She was then picked up by vehicle and later her belongings were seen strewn across the road. It looked as if Rose had met a sinister fate. And someone out there knows what really happened.
Could that person be Will? He and Kim definitely know more than they’re letting on.

2. Dawn drops a shock bombshell
With Kim away in Dubai, Will has been trying his best to hold it together.
But Dawn is growing increasingly concerned for Rose’s wellbeing. Will was able to dissuade his daughter from hiring a private detective, but she now wants to report Rose to the police as a missing person.
As Will tries to figure out a way to stop this happening, Dawn drops a bombshell. She tells her dad Evan might need a bone marrow transplant and Rose could be a match.
The realisation that his grandson’s future might hinge on finding Rose leaves Will wracked with guilt.

3. Will writes a text on Rose’s phone
As Will continues to reel over Dawn’s news, his thoughts turn back to Rose.
Making sure he’s alone, Will retrieves Rose’s phone which he has hidden at Home Farm. Why exactly he’s got her mobile is another question that needs answering.
Will listens to a pleading voicemail message from Dawn which makes him feel sick with worry. He tries to contact Kim again, but will she answer?
Later, Will’s desperation leads him to compose a message on Rose’s phone. Is the text meant for Dawn? What does it say? And how much longer can Will carry on living a lie? The net is closing in…
