    Review of the week: Piper’s alive, Ella’s lashing out, and what is Dawn up to?

    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!

    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 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 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!

    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: Ella’s prison staycation was shortlived, Evan needs a transplant, and Dawn made a mysterious phone call

    Emmerdale tonight: Ella’s prison staycation was shortlived, Evan needs a transplant, and Dawn made a mysterious phone call

    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.

    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!)

    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.

    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?

  • 4 reasons why Ella will never dethrone Meena Jutla as ‘Top Village Killer’ no matter how hard she tries

    4 reasons why Ella will never dethrone Meena Jutla as ‘Top Village Killer’ no matter how hard she tries

    Emmerdale fans got a little excitable on Thursday (August 22) as Ella Forster went on a bit of a birthday rampage.

    That doesn’t mean she got a bit tiddly on too many Proseccos, and demolished her birthday cake by herself (although she did do this… but not by scoffing it all down.)

    Instead, Ella blew up at Mandy over a selfie shared online, had a rather awkward encounter with the brother of the girl she killed, punched a nurse, and got nicked. Not your typical celebrations, then. And she didn’t even get to blow out any candles.

    However, while Ella’s meltdown left some fans wondering about whether she’ll return to the village, other viewers have tipped her to be the soap’s next big baddie.

    But will she ever be able to top the malevolence of mad, bad, and deadly-to-know Emmerdale villainess Meena Jutla? In a word, no. And here’s why.

    Ella is arrested

    Body count

    It seems a little distasteful to highlight, but that won’t stop us: Ella is going to have to work on her body count if she’s to challenge Meena’s reputation.

    Meena bumped off at least five other characters, including two (her dad and BFF) as part of her off-screen backstory.

    At the moment, Ella only has one confirmed kill to her name. And, at this stage, we don’t exactly know all the details surrounding Joanne’s death. You never know, it might turn out there are as-yet undisclosed details around the killing which even Ella has buried deep, deep down… and portray her in a more sympathetic light.

    So if she wants to be considered on the level of Meena, Ella needs to bury people, not feelings… and get those numbers up!

    Meena was flipping scary

    Sure, Ella’s a bit useful with her fists (as Wendy’s conk found out) and a little aggressive towards tasty tokens of endearment from her friends (why would anyone ever waste cake by decorating the ground with it?), but she doesn’t have the compassionless, merciless look Meena had.

    Ella, meanwhile, is all doe-eyed and smoochy lipped for Dr Liam Cavanagh. If that happened with Meena you’d be concerned why her pupils were so enlarged – and whether she was about to lean in and bite someone’s throat out rather than linger about for a tender kiss goodbye.

    Family connections

    Any soap murderer can bump off a few randoms to establish their murderous potential. But to really excel as a first class psychopath, it is necessary to take out a few loved ones along the way.

    Meena’s dad and (other) sister may not have appeared on screen, but she had sister Manpreet to torment, and demonstrate just how much of a wrong ‘un she was.

    Ella, however, doesn’t have any close relatives in the village to victimise, and really prove what a nasty piece of work she may be. So that goes against her, too.

    Regrets? She’s had a few

    To get ahead as a soap serial killer, you need to be more than a little bit dead inside yourself.

    Ella seems – through her flashes of regret, and self-examination, and tears – to have a little bit of soul and humanity left. That won’t do – must die harder!

    Soap serial killers needs to revel in and relish their dastardly deeds, too. Meena had the potential to murder while painting her nails. She gloried in the death and chaos she unleashed.

    Ella, meanwhile, still hasn’t got over knocking off her best pal years ago. Some people just don’t have what it takes to be a bloodthirsty homicidal maniac, we’re afraid.

  • What did Ella actually do to Joanne and why does Gary hate her so much?

    What did Ella actually do to Joanne and why does Gary hate her so much?

    So, Gary turned up at Ella’s birthday party in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Thursday, August 22) and truly ruined the occasion.

    He gave Ella a card with a photo of Joanne in it – his dead sister who Ella was responsible for killing when they were kids.

    Here’s exactly what Ella did to Joanne and why Gary has it in for her!

    Emmerdale: Gary crashed Ella’s 30th birthday party

    This evening in the Dales, Mandy surprised Ella for her 30th birthday. She kicked off the celebrations with a breakfast and a pamper in the salon but Ella wasn’t too keen.

    Rhona then notified Ella of the before and after photos of her that Mandy had posted on social media, and, oh boy, did that set Ella off!

    She soon grabbed the carrot cake that Mandy had bought her and broke it to pieces, slamming her for putting her face out there.

    Later on, all seemed to be forgiven as she enjoyed a sing-song at her surprise party in the Woolpack. However, as she grabbed the mic, a familiar (and unwelcome) face turned up. Gary – Joanne’s brother – had turned up to wish her a not-so-happy birthday.

    He handed her a card with an image of Joanne inside of it, soon sharing his hopes that this birthday would be Ella’s last.

    Ella then went off on a mad rage, attacking Wendy and doing her best to get sent back to prison – where she thought she belonged. It looks like her birthday wish was about to be granted as she was carted off in a police car following the incident.

    So, how did Ella actually kill Joanne?

    Ella – also known as Ruth – was revealed to be a child-killer earlier this year. This came out as attended the funeral of an old woman called June.

    June turned out to have been the mum of Ella’s childhood bestie, Joanne. Although, they weren’t exactly the closest of mates when Joanne died!

    When Joanne was eleven, Ella got jealous of her new friends. She feared that June wouldn’t love her as much if she stopped hanging out with Joanne. June felt like a second mum to Ella, and she wasn’t prepared to lose her.

    So, Ella ended up fighting with Joanne until she attacked her so much that she was dead.

    She then went to prison for her crime and changed her identity. But, this didn’t stop Gary from tracking her down, we see!

  • Emmerdale tonight: Ella attacked Wendy, Gabby taught Jai a lesson in Karma, and Will still hasn’t heard from Kim

    Emmerdale tonight: Ella attacked Wendy, Gabby taught Jai a lesson in Karma, and Will still hasn’t heard from Kim

    Emmerdale tonight saw Ella chuck a perfectly good carrot cake on the floor (how outrageous!) and then proceed to chuck multiple artificial plants at poor Wendy Posner…

    Elsewhere, Gabby arranged for the contents of Holdgate to be cleared out, resulting in Jai walking into an empty house. The look on his face was of pure horror, and we loved every second of it!

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday, August 22.

    Emmerdale tonight: Ella doesn’t do birthdays

    Mandy thought it would be a great idea to surprise Ella with a ‘proper coffee’ and some of ‘her buns’ for breakfast before giving her a pamper at the salon. It was her 30th birthday after all!

    But, Mandy couldn’t have gotten things more wrong as Ella realised that she’d posted the before and after photos on her social media page for everyone to see…

    With Ella smashing her birthday carrot cake on the ground (maybe chocolate cake is more her vibe?), Liam then reassured her that Mandy wasn’t exactly ‘Social Media Personality of the Year.’ It wasn’t as if the pics would go viral…

    At her birthday party in the Wooly, Ella started to let her hair down and have a sing song with her mates. Mandy had gone to town on the decorations, filling the place with lots of leopard print balloons (remind us to hire Mandy as our next party planner!)

    However, June’s son and Joanne’s sister (you know, the girl she killed) Gary then turned up after tracking her down. He then gave Ella a card with a photo of Joanne in it.

    Well, that was the last straw for Ella, wasn’t it?! As Wendy tried to comfort her back at the surgery, Ella was convinced that she deserved to rot in prison.

    She then set out to get sent down again by attacking Wendy, slapping her before going on to throw lots of plant pots at her.

    Ella then made Wendy phone the police to report the crime, soon getting arrested and willingly jumping into the police car. What a chaotic 30th!

    Emmerdale tonight: Sharma drama

    With Jai making sure that he comes out on top during the divorce, Nicola and Gabby sided with Laurel as Jai’s pettiness continued.

    At the cafe, Nicola enjoyed watching Jai suffer as she served him the smoothie he ordered – with a few added extras! She watched him spit with disgust as she revealed that she’d added salt and chilli to the concoction (gross, but nothing he didn’t deserve!)

    Later on, Jai returned to Holdgate and got a right shock as he entered an emptied-out building. With all of his furniture gone, the only thing inside was a cardboard sign that read ‘Karma! Mr Sharma!’

    Whilst he accused Laurel, Gabby and Nicola of scheming, they didn’t let on that they were the brains behind the clear out.

    Gabby then took Laurel on a little trip to show her a fully-loaded van full on Jai’s things. She suggested selling them for a profit for Laurel couldn’t bring herself to stoop so low.

    Laurel soon panicked though when Jai shared his intentions of calling the police… Maybe she should put everything back before things get too out of hand… Eek!

    Moira crosses her arms and watches on angry in Emmerdale

    Moira and Cain clashed over a bull

    Not the usual thing to argue about here, but tonight saw Cain and Moira clash over a bull.

    Yes, Moira wanted to buy a new bull for the farm. She certainly had Nate’s approval too.

    However, Cain found out and told her that they had a perfectly good bull already. They couldn’t even afford a new one. Moira was adamant that this new bull would be a great thing for them though. So, it looks like they’re getting a new bull then!

    Will looks worried at his phone in Home Farm

    Kim really has Will sweating

    With Billy and Dawn worrying for Evan as he prepares for another round of chemo, Will sat at Home Farm struggling to contact Kim.

    Having not heard from Kim since she jetted off after Rose’s disappearance, Will has been trying to contact her.

    With Kim failing to answer the phone yet again, Will started to worry that his relationship really was over for good. Shouldn’t have slept with Rose then, should you Will?

    Jai is still fuming over Laurel secretly buying his shares of The Hide. The news came as a big shock to Jai, who believed he had the upper hand in their divorce battle.

    But Laurel has had enough of Jai being so vile to her. He won’t pay her what she’s owed, so she decided to take it for herself.

    With Gabby’s help, Laurel purchased Jai’s shares in the business. But Jai is not going to let Laurel get one over on him that easily. He is out for revenge and not bothered who he hurts along the way.

    Mandy surprises Ella in Emmerdale spoilers

    Mandy’s surprised to learn Ella’s got a birthday coming up – and it’s a biggie. She’s about to turn 30, and has no plans to mark the special occasion.

    That just won’t do in Mandy’s eyes and she starts plotting how to celebrate Ella entering a new decade. It’s been a particularly difficult past few weeks for Ella since she suffered a silent miscarriage. Which is even more reason for Mandy to want to put a smile on her face.

    But what does she have in mind and will Ella approve?

    Mandy gets to work, carrying out the treatment and taking the snaps. Getting swept up in the moment, Mandy uploads the images to PampaManda socials without realising the potential danger of what she’s doing.

    Mandy surprised her with a makeover experience at PampaManda. But Ella was horrified to find her friend had posted images of her face on the salon’s socials.

    Fearing this meant people from her past would be able to track her down, Ella freaked out and smashed up her birthday cake. But a pep talk from ex-partner Liam has given Ella the encouragement to enjoy what’s left of her day.

    Ella is confronted by her past

    With the party in full swing, Ella is really starting to relax and enjoy herself. Liam surprises her with a small star pendant, and Ella hopes the gift signals a fresh start for them both.

    But her newfound happiness is suddenly shattered by the arrival of an unexpected guest.

    It’s Gary – the nephew of June, who viewers will remember was the late mother of Joanne, the girl who Ella killed when they were just 11.

    It’s clear from the off Gary isn’t here to give Ella his best wishes. Approaching her in a quietly aggressive manner, Gary hands Ella a picture of Joanne. It’s a calculated move, designed to cause maximum pain. Which, of course, it does.

    The sight of the innocent girl whose life she took all those years ago sends Ella spiraling.

    But before Gary can do any more damage, Wendy intervenes. She manages to usher Ella away as Gary storms off full of grief and anger.

    Wendy takes Ella to the surgery waiting room so she can calm down. But things take a turn when Ella violently lashes out at Wendy. The frenzied attack seemingly comes out of nowhere – just as it did when Ella murdered Joanne.

    Will Ella cause Wendy a serious injury? What will the repercussions be? And is this the last we’ve seen of Gary?
