Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Donna wants to join the police, Eric’s suspicious, and Jack’s annoyed again

In todayâ€™sÂ ClassicÂ Emmerdale spoilers for episodes airing on ITV3 on Thursday, December 12, Donna drops a bombshell on the unimpressed Dingles and then gives Marlon an ultimatum!Â Eric’s suspicious about Pearl’s finances, and Jack’s annoyed again

These episodes originally aired on June 4 and 5, 2006.

Donna is not taking any nonsense in Classic Emmerdale

Donna is working hard to make a success of the night cafe, so she is not impressed when the Dingles descend en masse and announce they should eat free because they’re family.

To make things even worse, she finds Shadrach swigging booze in the shop. She gives chase, and he legs it upstairs – where they interrupt a frisky Bob and Viv dressed in their best saucy attire!

Furious (and more than a little disturbed!) Donna makes a citizen’s arrest.

Eric’s suspicious

Meanwhile at Home Farm, Eric is suspicious when Pearl shows up at the housing development launch. He asks her if she’s planning to invest in property now. And he tells her that first she pleaded poverty, then paid off her debts in one fell swoop – and that makes him wonder what she’s up to.

He even suggests she might have stolen the cash – which isn’t that far from the truth.

Later, Pearl is even more shaken when Edna quizzes her about where she got the money to repay the debt.

Katie’s night is ruined

Elsewhere, Katie plans a night in for her and Andy, but it’s ruined when Jo comes home early and helps herself to their wine.

And then she drops a bombshell! She tells the stunned Dingles that they’d better get used to her shopping them, because she’s planning to join the police!

She even gives Marlon an ultimatum – his family, or her.

Donna flashback scenes leave fans feeling very emotional: ‘So heartbreaking’

Emmerdale aired old footage last night as Ross Barton had triggering flashbacks to when his lover Donna Windsor died. As he battled to save April from Jade and her henchmen, Ross had to fight his haunting past.

Fans found the old episodes interwoven with the new one very emotional. They felt they were reliving Donna’s death all over again.

Emmerdale last night

Jade proved to Ross she meant business about getting her Â£10k back on Thursday December 5 when she kidnapped April Windsor. She and her henchpeople drove April to the Hotten multistory carpark (where no one was parked, conveniently) and told Ross to get there fast – and alone.

He hijacked Billy’s car and raced to the carpark. But once there he realised exactly the significance of the venue: it was where Donna had died in 2014. As the soap aired footage from the event, Ross struggled to compose himself over April’s screams. She was being dangled over the edge of the roof and would only be brought to safety when Jade got her cash.

Fortunately, Mackenzie had come to his senses. He arrived with Aaron in the nick of time to hand back the money. Well, the seven grand that was left, at least. Although April was saved, Jade still wants her last Â£3k.

Ross then took April home and a throwaway comment led April to find out the truth about her mum’s death. She had only been five years old at the time, so had been shielded from it by Ross and her dad, Marlon.

How did Donna die in Emmerdale?

Donna had terminal lung cancer. She knew she didn’t have much longer left to live, so she got involved in criminal activity, alongside then-lover Ross. It was all to raise money to make sure her daughter was cared for after she’d gone.

But when she got involved with crime lord Gary North things went very wrong. Donna had tried to set Gary up on drugs charges, but he caught her and threatened April unless she retrieved some explicit photos for him.

Things turned bad and Donna and Gary ended up in a stand-off on the rooftop. She held her gun at him, but he promised to make April the subject of one of his photos if she shot. Donna then handcuffed herself to Gary and jumped over the roof.

Telling Ross she loved him, Donna knew she was going to die anyway and that taking Gary with her was the only way to keep April – and other young girls – safe. She then took her own life.

Fans heartbroken as they rewatch Donna scenes in Emmerdale

As the soap showed the scenes of Donna’s demise again, those watching at home were even more upset second time around.

“Verity Rushworth still so missed,” said one on social media with crying emojis.

Another added: “Brought memories back watching the Donna scene. Felt quite emotional! Brilliant acting from Amelia!”

“This episode in 2014 was so heartbreaking so to bring it all back was emotional but it was a brilliant episode,” agreed a third.

A fourth wrote: “Made me ever SO anxious watching a clip of Donna really LOVED her character and can’t believe you killed her off.”

Who was Donna Windsor? From romance with Ross Barton to tragic death

Emmerdale character Donna Windsor sent fans into tears after her dramatic death back in 2014, leaving little April without a mum.

The police officer was previously romantically involved with Ross Barton before her death. With his return to the Dales, all eyes are turning back to his exes.

Including the rollercoaster relationship between Donna and Ross. Here’s everything you need to know about Donna.

Emmerdale: Donna Windsor backstory

Donna was born on the 31st December 1985 in East London and is daughter to Vic and Viv Windsor.

The family stayed in South London for a while, where Donna suffered something that would later seriously harm her.

Back in 1992, Vic was redecorating their flat and the ceiling collapsed, covering Donna in dust. She breathed in a lot of the dust but was not severely hurt, and unbeknown to her, had asbestos.

22 years later, Donna developed an asbestos-related cancer which took her life.

In 1993, the family left for Beckindale, Yorkshire, after having enough of London.

Emmerdale: Donna’s first stint in the Dales

You can take the girl out of the city, but not the city out of the girl. When the Windsors arrived to the Dales, they brought some of their behaviours with them.

Several fast drives and leaving gates open, but they eventually adapted.

Donna’s first big disaster was when she was in Kim’s Stables at the Home Farm when wreckage from a plane hit the stables after a plane crashed in the village.

Luckily, the Windsors survived the crash, but another disaster quickly arrived. The following year, she was on a tractor with Michael Feldmann when it was toppled over. Donna was injured, but made it through.

A legal battle ensued as Viv wanted to sue John Sugden as the incident happened under his leadership.

However, their attention turned elsewhere as 2 years later in January 1996, 10 year old Donna was accidentally shot by her half-brother, Scott Windsor.

Donna’s relationships

InÂ 2003, Donna started datingÂ Robert Sugden whom she had previously bullied whilst at school. He dumped her for another woman, but they got back together eventually.

Things turned sour when Donna contracted chlamydia from him. The pair shared a turbulent relationships, but eventually ended after Robert had an affair.

She moved onto widowerÂ Marlon Dingle. Having finally got over the death of his wifeÂ Tricia, Marlon was ready to date again and found himself falling in love with Donna. He even proposed to her after a year.

Meanwhile, Donna struck up a close friendship withÂ Max King, whom she enjoyed flirting with. When Max was killed in a car crash, caused by Donna’s ex-boyfriend Robert, Donna was devastated and Marlon tried to help her through her grief.

They got married eventually, even though Donna was not sure. She even confessed her love for Max, but they went through with it anyway.

Donna and Marlon were left looking after Marlon’s cousin Lillith‘s four children Luke, Matthew, Mark and Jon, following her arrest for armed robbery.

Emmerdale: Donna and Ross

Crime was never far from Donna, after she and Ross were involved in a car chase after Viv was framed for fraud. However, there Ross and Donna developed feelings for each other, with Donna becoming Ross’ ‘one true love.’

She started an affair with him behind Marlon’s back. They split and got back together, on the promise she would never talk to Ross again. However, soon after Marlon cheated on her with Chas.

He told Donna that he did not love her as much as he loved Tricia and with that admission Donna left the village in a taxi for the train station. She did not come back for years.

After a few years, Donna came back with her four-year-old daughterÂ April, after breaking up with her partner.

Donna’s death

Marlon gave an emotional confession admitting that he didn’t love his daughter. Marlon eventually realised that he needed to bond with April, and as Donna and April were leaving Emmerdale, Marlon stood in front of her car, causing Donna to hit her head on the windscreen.

At the hospital, she revealed she had terminal cancer, but didn’t want her family to know.

She started acting out when she realised she didn’t have long left to live, and even got involved in crime. She restarted her affair with Ross.

However, in a final showdown with criminal Gary North, she told Ross that she loved him and then she took what she saw as the only way out of this situation and pulled Gary over the top of the car park.

The fall killed both of them, and remains one of Emmerdale’s biggest stunts to date.

Emmerdale: Ross’ love life

Ross has been unlucky in love over the years, returning to the Dales with quite the tragic bombshell. He revealed to Charity that his ex partner Rebecca had died and Seb was now living with an aunt.

With Ross now back in the village, he’s distracting himself from the grief it seems… turning his head to Charity. Seeing sense, Charity rejected Ross’ advances though. Fair play.

But, now, he’s left Charity alone and in now flirting with newcomer Steph Miligan instead. The pair even ended up sleeping together in the barn. This happened despite Steph admitting that Ross isn’t the sort of guy she’d go for. We’re not sure we believe her…

Mike Parr on Ross Barton’s ‘one true love’

Spoilers for next week reveal that Ross is startled when Jade kidnaps April and takes her to a car park. It sends all sorts of bad memories rushing back for Ross as he remembers Donna’s death.

And, Mike Parr has now confirmed that despite all these new romances and flings, it was Donna that ultimately won Ross’ heart.

Speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media, Mike shared: “That was his first experience with love.

“When love is snatched away from you, you’re always going to glamorize it and think about what it could have been. But I think was probably the one he loved the most.”

“Nobody lives up to Donna in his eyes.”

Speaking about how Ross is haunted by Donna’s memory in the coming weeks as he’s taken back to the place of Donna’s death, Mike teased: “It’s hugely traumatic for him. It brings back the worst memories, you know, seeing somebody die, especially the first girl who has ever loved you and your first experience of love to fall off a roof chained to a paedophile. That’s a traumatic event for him.”

Will Ross ever find a love like he had with Donna again?
