What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Anthony’s killer was ‘revealed’ as John cleaned up the crime scene – but there could be more to it

Emmerdale tonight saw a confrontation between Anthony Fox and Aaron Dingle that turned deadly. Though Aaron walked away and left Anthony alive, when he returned later, the vile abuser was dead.

John stepped in and took control, but is he covering up his lover’s crime or someone else’s?

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday January 23.

Aaron confronted Anthony – with dramatic consequences

After Aaron cornered him alone at the depot, Anthony tried to talk his way out of it, but for the first time he looked genuinely scared.

Aaron then kneed him in the stomach sending him flying to the ground. Aaron then opened up about his own past as Anthony lay cowering on the floor.

Anthony claimed he never hurt Ruby, it was a special bond and all about love. He broke down and said he knew he shouldn’t have done it. Aaron insisted he wouldn’t regret a thing if he killed Anthony, but he wasn’t going to as he had too much to lose. Aaron told Anthony he was going to the police station and he would confess to everything.

Anthony begged Aaron not to send him to prison as he’s an old man.

He then told Aaron: “She never tried to stop me, she enjoyed it as much as I did.” His next words sent Aaron over the edge: “How hard did you really try to stop your father?” What. A.Vile. Scumbag.

Absolutely losing it, Aaron beat him to near-death. Anthony was still conscious when he spat out a tooth and told Aaron to finish him off. But Aaron walked away.

Anthony dead

Back at home, John noticed something was wrong with Aaron. It didn’t take long for Aaron to confess what he’d done to Anthony. He said all he could see was his dad and he was ready to kill him and it made him feel better. John reminded him he didn’t actually kill Anthony.

He told Aaron they couldn’t leave him there to die because Anthony might be a monster, but Aaron is not.

But when they went back to the depot, Anthony was dead. Aaron was panic-stricken as he realised he was going to prison. John stepped into action and insisted he wasn’t losing him over Anthony.

John cleaned up

John then set about cleaning the crime scene and disposing of the body. He seemed VERY efficient as he dismissed Aaron and got his bottle of bleach out. John insisted he was going to put Aaron’s life back together. But the tooth remained unseen.

Steph and Ross came across John fixing his van later and it looked like he was going to be caught when Ross went to help and found a tarpaulin in the boot. But fortunately, it seemed, John had already disposed of the body.

Cain almost caught Aaron with his bloody clothes, but Aaron managed to get rid of him before bunging them on a very hot wash.

As John returned and refused to tell Aaron any details, Aaron was spiralling about being a murderer. But is he?

Who really killed Anthony in Emmerdale tonight?

Ruby

Despite Aaron firmly believing he’s a murderer, he left Anthony alive. And there was a good amount of time for someone to go an finish the job before Aaron returned with John.

At The Mill, Ruby was adamant she would not go to the police because she would die before Steph found out – a foreshadowing perhaps?

Ruby then went out to look for Steph and returned home even more subdued and shaken as Caleb hugged her and promised to make it all right. What is she hiding? Did she go to the depot looking for Steph and finish Anthony off?

When Steph returned, Caleb tried to tell her Anthony was a grown man and she shouldn’t worry about him. Ruby just apologised causing Steph to worry about how broken her mum seemed – it’s about time she noticed. Steph actually said sorry too. The pair of them hugged as Ruby promised to always keep her safe – there is nothing she wouldn’t do… Does that include murdering Anthony?

Or was it Caleb?

Caleb went up to the depot and seemed slightly surprised that the place was as clean as it was. Does he know something?

Joe told Dawn was what wrong with him in Emmerdale tonight

Dawn wanted answers over Joe’s pills in Emmerdale tonight (Credit: ITV)

Joe collapsed

Dawn found Joe slumped at the wheel of his car, clearly unwell. She took his keys so he couldn’t drive anywhere. Dawn concluded he has a drug problem.

Joe explained it was what had happened with Cain – he was still living with the effects of the punch and blow to his head. He claimed to get headaches and be reliant on painkillers.

Dawn asserted that he was addicted to drugs and she wouldn’t enable him. So Joe threatened to tell Billy what had happened between them if Dawn told anyone about the pills. She called his bluff claiming she was going to confess anyway.

Billy’s lovely speech meant Dawn kept quiet (Credit: ITV)

Dawn couldn’t confess

As Dawn went to confess, Billy started gushing about how proud he was of her and she couldn’t go through with it. Just as Joe predicted.

Joe insisted he was getting help to get off the pills and then made a secret phone call and told the person on the other end of the line they had a problem. He said it was “getting more obvious now” and he didn’t know how long he’d got until people started noticing. So it’s not just a painkiller addiction then?

Meanwhile, Charity was in Noah’s firing line as she demanded he stay away from Joe, but Noah was not backing down. Charity insisted she was right, but Noah told her he’s lonely, he doesn’t have any proper mates and he wants to get to know Joe.

Even Kim tried to tell Charity Joe had changed, but Charity told her she was a fool. Kim then went into Joe’s room and put a recording device in so she could see if he was up to anything.

Of course Kim picked up Joe’s call on her recording device and it set her mind ticking.

Nicola’s sad face was not suspicious at all (Credit: ITV)

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Laurel was STILL panicking, while Nicola was at the hospital trying to find out if Anthony had been admitted. She spun the nurse a story and came across as very suspicious. Honestly, we could really do without these two in this storyline.

Emmerdale spoilers: Who killed Anthony revealed in ITVX early release episode but clues suggest there’s a twist

*Warning: Emmerdale spoilers follow from the Thursday January 23 episode, which is available now on ITVX, but has not yet aired on ITV*

Emmerdale spoilers from tonight’s episode have revealed Anthony is dead – and who his killer is. But speculation has already begun that all is not as it seems.

There was a clean-up operation and the body was hidden, but who really killed him?

What happened in Emmerdale last night?

After a game of Russian Roulette with Caleb on Wednesday January 22, Anthony inexplicably managed to run away from his gun-wielding son-in-law. Cain talked Caleb out of going after him and Anthony limped his way to the depot hoping to find Steph.

But she wasn’t there and the place was in darkness due to an electrical fault. Anthony let himself in and tried to use the office phone to call his granddaughter. Only Aaron Dingle was there waiting for him.

He menacingly told Anthony he wanted them to have a little chat.

Anthony killed in Emmerdale spoilers

For the first time all week, Anthony seemed genuinely scared when confronted by Aaron. After Anthony finally confessed what he did, Aaron beat him a little, but then told him they were going to the police instead.

However Anthony made crass remarks about both Ruby’s willingness and Aaron’s relationship with his dad, Gordon. It sent Aaron over the edge and he violently lashed out, unable to control himself.

He left Anthony battered on the floor, missing a tooth, but still alive.

Aaron then went home, confessed to John what he did, who insisted they had to go and help Anthony. But when they got there, Anthony was dead. John dealt with the situation as distraught Aaron couldn’t believe he’d become a murderer. But has he?

Speculation over Anthony’s killer in Emmerdale

Fans online who have already watched the ITVX early release episode aren’t so sure all is as it seems. There was a lot of time between Aaron leaving Anthony alive and going back to find him dead.

“Someone got to Anthony in the depot after Aaron left him there,” said one on social media.

Another agreed (cryptically!): “I don’t buy it with a certain character…Someone else got there first before they went back too a certain place.”

“So… I don’t think the killer is the killer… we didn’t actually see him kill Anthony,” added a third.

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Anthony lived to fight another day – but not if Aaron has anything to do with it

Emmerdale tonight revealed Anthony had not been shot and escaped Caleb (who also survived). But then the vile abuser found himself cornered by Aaron…

Also, Caleb was struggling to process the revelation about Cain and Ruby. He didn’t confront his family, but can he get past it?

Elsewhere, Nicola and Laurel were still panicking and Joe and Dawn were covering up.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday January 22.

The gunshot outcome was revealed in Emmerdale tonight

Cain ran to save the day

Cain ran into the barn to find out why a gun went off. He saw Anthony running away and Caleb holding a gun. It turned out neither Caleb nor Anthony got hit. The gun had gone off, but when Caleb bent down to pick it up, Anthony got past him. But the way Caleb was being with Cain made it clear Anthony’s revelation was playing on his mind.

Cain tried to talk some sense into Caleb, telling him to let the police deal with Anthony. But Caleb insisted that couldn’t happen as Steph could never find out the truth.

Cain offered to team up with Caleb to go after him together, but Caleb was talking in riddles. He clearly doesn’t know whether to believe Anthony’s claims over Cain and Ruby’s ‘affair’ or not, especially as Cain assured him they were blood and he always had his back.

Caleb kept it together – just

Cain took Caleb home and Ruby was horrified to see he had a gun. She told him he had to leave it and their priority must be Steph.

Caleb was still being shirty with Cain and despite Cain’s reassurance to Ruby Caleb didn’t know anything, we all know he does.

Caleb then told Ruby no one else would ever find out and Steph would never know… So how long do we reckon before Steph finds out?

Anthony confronted by someone else

Ruby was rushing around looking for Steph, desperate to make amends. But Aaron accosted her in the village and bombarded her with questions over her dad. He knew something was wrong and he’d seen the same look in her eyes he knew so well from his own experiences with his dad, Gordon.

Meanwhile, Anthony had hobbled over to the depot, but his phone battery had gone dead, so he couldn’t contact Steph. As he went inside a car pulled up and Anthony soon found Aaron waiting for him. “I think it’s about time me and you had a little chat, he told him as the credits rolled…

Nicola was on clean-up duty while Laurel struggled to cope (Credit: ITV)

Nicola went full CSI in Emmerdale tonight

Nicola and Laurel were doing a clean-up job at the house to remove the evidence. CSI superfan Nicola was on the case as Laurel was whining and staring longingly at a wine bottle.

Steph then turned up just as they finished cleaning. She wanted to know if they’d seen her grandad. Laurel was feeling sick and worried – but really it was self-defence, so we don’t know why they’re in such a panic.

Joe and Dawn put their clothes back on as they agreed to cover their liaison up (Credit: ITV)

Dawn had regrets – or did she?

Joe and Dawn got dressed after their intimate liaison, with Dawn already feeling the guilt as she did up her boots. Sidenote: how does Joe keep his carpet so white when they’re all walking around in outdoor shoes everywhere?

Anyway, Dawn wasn’t sure if she could trust Joe, but he assured her he is a changed man. Promise.

They were then unable to escape the bedroom because Lydia was directly outside hoovering. Not to bang on about carpets, but she seemed to be vaccuming that one spot for a really long time – there’ll be nothing left of it.

Joe then opened up about why he blamed Charity for his dad’s death and told Dawn his life story. He admitted he was lonely so came back to be with family.

Dawn then revealed her own past – living in a crack den and having her son taken away by social services. And Lydia finished hoovering so Dawn escaped.

But then Billy returned home with Evan and Dawn fawned over him in front of an understanding Joe. She claimed they would never sleep together again, but we all know that’s not true, don’t we?!

Joe was unfazed by Charity’s anger over the watch (Credit: ITV)

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Charity spotted Noah’s watch and his story about getting an advance on his salary didn’t wash. She immediately went round to confront Joe. Charity insisted he drop the act and stay away from her son.

Joe had absolutely no intention of doing so, though, and immediately arranged to meet Noah for a drink. He called him ‘bro’ which was a bit disconcerting, but still.

As he went to leave, Joe had a wobble and once again we’re left wondering, what is wrong with him.

Emmerdale confirms who got shot in ITVX early release episode as it airs new cliffhanger

*Warning: Emmerdale spoilers follow from the Wednesday January 22 episode, which is available now on ITVX, but has not yet aired on ITV*

Emmerdale spoilers from the ITVX early release episode on Wednesday January 22 have confirmed the outcome of the shooting in the barn. Anthony Fox and Caleb Miligan were last seen locked in a game of Russian Roulette that saw Caleb pointing a gun at his father-in-law’s head.

But viewers did not know who had been shot.

What happened in Emmerdale last night?

Last night (Tuesday January 21), Caleb had tracked down Anthony and driven him to one of Moira’s barns. There he had pulled a gun on his father-in-law and demanded he tell the truth about what he did to Ruby.

Anthony tried to talk his way out of it, claimed Ruby was lying and that as a care home kid, Caleb had no idea how real families worked. But Caleb didn’t buy any of it. He loaded the gun with one bullet and every time Anthony lied or insulted Ruby, Caleb pulled the trigger.

However when Anthony finally confessed – but with no remorse whatsoever, it was revealed the gun was empty. Caleb had just wanted him to feel the same terror Ruby had all those years ago and since.

But then Caleb loaded the gun for real. Anthony played his trump card and revealed Cain and Ruby were sleeping together. In Caleb’s moment of confusion at the revelation, Anthony lunged for the weapon and it went off. The action immediately cut to Cain arriving outside. And that was the ending so we were left wondering who got shot. Was Anthony finally dead?

Emmerdale spoilers confirm outcome of the gunshot

Well, it turns out the answer is no. Anthony managed to escape.

The action picked up as Cain raced into the barn to find Anthony running into the fields and Caleb brandishing a gun.

Neither of them had been hit. The gun had gone off when Anthony tried to grab it off him. Caleb then bent down to pick it up, but Anthony got past him and fled.

Caleb still wanted to go after his father-in-law, but Cain talked him out of it and they headed home, where Caleb was making barbed comments about Cain being the saviour. But he didn’t confront his brother or wife over what he had been told.

Aaron has good reason to be against Anthony (Credit: ITV)

New twist at the end of Emmerdale tonight

Although Anthony got away, he only hobbled as far as the depot, where his plan was to contact Steph. But his phone died.

Inside, as he tried to use the office phone, he was confronted by a menacing Aaron Dingle. Aaron had put two and two together and worked everything out. He knows what Anthony is and he is out to punish him.

So what happens next? Will Aaron finish Anthony off?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Caleb held unrepentant Anthony at gunpoint – and someone got shot

Emmerdale tonight saw Caleb play a very dangerous game of Russian Roulette with Anthony. The gun was fired, but who got shot?

Meanwhile, Dawn couldn’t keep away from Joe and the pair ended up kissing again.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday January 21.

Caleb got to the truth – all of it

Caleb drove Anthony to a barn on Moira’s farm and ordered him out of the car at gun point. Anthony brazened it out as Caleb held the gun on him and told him to tell the truth.

He tried to make out Ruby was lying, but Caleb wasn’t budging, he wanted the truth.

Although Anthony did convince him to put the gun down, Caleb still wouldn’t listen as Anthony protested it was all in Ruby’s head. Caleb then played Russian Roulette – one bullet in the gun, six chambers. The first shot was empty.

Anthony hit back that Caleb just didn’t understand family life as he was brought up in a care home. Shots two, three and four were fired and empty too.

As it came down to 50-50, Anthony started to admit what he did. And he continued to try to talk his way into saving his life. But then he started talking about how Ruby used to flaunt herself and it was all her fault causing Caleb to shoot. That one was empty too, meaning it had to be the next one.

Except it wasn’t, because Caleb had taken all the bullets out, just wanting Anthony to feel the terror Ruby had.

Anthony then played his trump card and told Caleb Ruby had been sleeping with Cain…

Steph went for Ruby

Meanwhile Steph was getting worried as to why her grandad hadn’t turned up to meet her. She once again attacked Ruby over it – whinged that her mum wished she’d never been born and stormed off again.

When will Steph actually act her age and question exactly why her mum looks so traumatised? Can’t she stop behaving like a spoilt brat for five minutes?

Did Caleb shoot? (Credit: ITV)

A shot was fired

Elsewhere Cain went to visit Ruby and revealed he knew the truth about Anthony. He stepped up to support Ruby and insisted he would stop Caleb doing anything stupid.

As he searched the village for them, Aaron approached, wanting to know exactly what was going on.

Back at the barn, Cain had tracked them down and was outside when he heard a gunshot. Inside, Anthony had made a lunge for the gun, but were either of them hurt?

Dawn gave in to Joe in Emmerdale tonight

Joe presented Dawn with a laptop, but Dawn told him she wasn’t going to work with him and he could stick his job. He seemed unfazed and told her to give him a week. He gave Dawn some work to do and she smashed it, leaving Kim impressed. But then Kim confirmed Joe had been behind her hiring and Dawn was cross.

Dawn burst into his room as he was changing to confront him. But he used the opportunity to seduce her and she did not fight him off. Well, you wouldn’t, would you?!

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Laurel panicked

Laurel was still in panic mode, despite Nicola’s reassurance that she did nothing wrong and all she did was try to save her. Honestly, if we’re about to have weeks of Laurel wittering on about her guilt, we’re not here for it.

Later, Laurel tried to tell the police, but Nicola convinced her not to. She laid into Nicola and continued to witter on and on.

The lights went out…

At the depot the lights are out which cleared the whole place (conveniently for later in the week we suspect).

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Caleb finally stepped up as Ruby broke down

Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly needs all the awards after her performance tonight as she broke down and confessed everything to Caleb. Meanwhile, Caleb was determined to avenge his wife, but at what cost?

Elsewhere Wendy left town – and not before time.

Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Friday January 17.

Ruby crumbled in Emmerdale tonight

Ruby finally told Caleb everything (Credit: ITV)

Caleb finally stepped up to support Ruby

Caleb wanted to go after Anthony, but Chas persuaded him not to. But her brother was torturing himself over not having known or picked up on it – er we have been telling you Caleb.

Meanwhile, Anthony was gaslighting Steph telling her Ruby was losing her grip and her mental health.

Caleb called Ruby over to talk. He gently told her what he and Chas had worked out as Ruby sat calmly and in silence. “Whatever you tell me, I will believe I promise,” Caleb told her. And then her facade fell as she loudly sobbed and wailed like a baby. Caleb grabbed her and promised he had her now.

Ruby called Caleb her saviour and he’s determined to live up to that name (Credit: ITV)

Caleb wants to save Ruby again

After she composed herself she relived everything as Caleb listened. Ruby admitted she had tried to tell her mum, who had dismissed her as a fantasist.

The secret had destroyed any relationship Ruby could have had with Steph as she did all she could to keep her away from her grandparents. That included sending her to boarding school

Ruby told Caleb he had saved her. Caleb told her he loved her, but he also had a visit from a mystery person, delivering a mystery package containing a gun, that he lied to her about.

Beth Cordingly was phenomenal in these scenes, fragile, vulnerable, yet strong and firm about not wanting Steph to ever find out. She knocked it out of the park.

Wendy knew it was time to go after upsetting everyone in the village (Credit: ITV)

Wendy left Emmerdale tonight

Although Wendy was sad about leaving, she was sure it was the right thing to do. Bob was ranting and raving about Wendy’s deceit when she arrived to tell him she was leaving and say goodbye. Bob was shell-shocked.

Wendy then went to see Rhona and Marlon and confessed what she’d done. They were not particularly forgiving either – no real wonder, especially as she wouldn’t say why she was being blackmailed, so we can take from that she’s not planning to give up being a fake nurse.

Victoria and Harry, as well as Cathy, turned out to bid her goodbye. Liam and Manpreet also wished her well as Bob watched from afar.

Later, Bob drowned his sorrows and Brenda consoled him. He admitted he and Wendy had been drifting apart for months. But he then drunkenly lunged at Brenda and things went very sour. She did forgive him and they agreed to put it behind them.

Also tonight…

Marlon was up and out of bed and bouyed by news of a sighting of April. However it came to nothing and they felt helpless and hopeless again. Something tells us this pattern will continue for quite some time.

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ruby confronted her dad as Caleb realised the terrible truth

Emmerdale tonight saw the fallout from the DNA results as Ruby finally confronted her dad. Elsewhere, Caleb was on the hunt for Steph’s real father and after a confrontation with Rob, the penny finally dropped for him.

Meanwhile, Marlon was taken to hospital, but with April still missing he wouldn’t give up the search. And, Wendy made a decision about her future.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday January 16

The awful truth revealed in Emmerdale tonight

Caleb sought comfort from Cain (Credit: ITV)

Caleb and Ruby both struggled to cope

Ruby woke up in the B&B having nightmares over her dad’s abuse. She demanded Bob get her a whiskey for breakfast.

Meanwhile, Steph was trying to get to the bottom of her parents’ split. Caleb wasn’t saying anything and then Steph found a drunk Ruby in the shop. She called her mum a poisonous bitch and told her to get out of their lives. Ouch.

Caleb went to confide in Cain and Cain even gave him a hug. Yes, that’s right, Cain hugged his brother. But then Cain went in to bat for Ruby, which Caleb didn’t really understand. Cain encouraged his brother to try to forgive Ruby, however Steph was totally against a reconciliation and talked Caleb out of seeing his wife.

Ruby cowered as she confronted her dad, but then found her strength (Credit: ITV)

Terrified Ruby confronted her dad

But if he had walked in to the B&B, he’d have seen Anthony had snuck into Ruby’s room while she was sleeping. He moved her hair from her face before waiting for her to wake up. “Daddy’s here for you darling,” he told her, sickeninglyas he surveyed her sleeping body.

Ruby was absolutely terrified when she woke up and cowered in the corner. She confronted him over what he did to her. Anthony twisted everything, gaslighting her that she was hysterical and rambling like a drunk woman. He gave her water and told her to sleep it off, but when he touched her hand she threw the water at him.

Ruby directly confronted him and told him she was 14 the first time and admitted she had told her mum what he’d been doing to her. Her mum did not believe her, though. Anthony insisted she had it all wrong as Ruby told him: “You raped me.”

Anthony would not admit it, he said he just wanted her to feel special and he loves her very much. He told her it was all lies and she couldn’t prove otherwise. But she said she could get proof: Caleb is not Steph’s father and a DNA test would prove that Anthony is. That shocked her vile dad into silence and although he tried to talk her out of it, he realised he was caught. But Ruby told him the secret was safe as she couldn’t risk Steph finding out.

Chas realised the awful truth in Emmerdale tonight (Credit: ITV)

Chas worked it out and told Caleb the awful truth

Back at home Caleb had confided in Chas and told her he had tracked Rob down. Chas confessed she knew and that Ruby had been raped. And Caleb told her he’d called Rob round on the pretence of throwing some work his way.

Chas told him to call it off, but when he wouldn’t she refused to leave them alone. Rob had no idea what he’d walked into as Caleb threw him against a wall and insisted Rob would pay for what he did to Ruby.

But Rob told Caleb he was gay and had never slept with Ruby. As he said he and Ruby spent so much time together because she was afraid of her dad, the penny finally dropped for Chas.

But not for Caleb, who still didn’t get it. So Chas spelt it out: Ruby was really scared of Anthony because he had sexually abused her and he fathered Steph.

The doctor warned Marlon he was going to have another stroke (Credit: ITV)

Marlon was very ill in Emmerdale tonight

It wasn’t much lighter anywhere else in the Dales. Marlon was coughing up a lung as he panicked about April some more. He later collapsed in the pub and Paddy and Ross insisted he go to hospital. Marlon has a chest infection in both lungs and needs antibiotics. He was warned he would definitely have another stroke if he carried on like this. Marlon agreed not to go back into Leeds for today. Baby steps, we suppose.

Ross took over the search and covered Marlon’s area as well as his own. But Marlon was still stressed and so Rhona decided to offer a Â£1000 reward for information on April. Mary was totally against it, but Rhona did it anyway. Apparently she can afford it.

Ella couldn’t believe Wendy’s deceit and neither could Bob (Credit: ITV)

Wendy confessed in Emmerdale tonight

Wendy went round to see Liam and confessed what she’d done to Rhona and Ella. Liam was less than sympathetic as Wendy explained she was being blackmailed her over her past.

Manpreet was called round and the truth was revealed to her. She was disgusted to find out about the lies and that Liam knew all along. Liam told Wendy they had to sack her.

Wendy then went round to see Ella and confessed. Ella thought it was revenge for the attack, but Wendy sobbed that it wasn’t. Ella refused to listen though and even Bob could barely look at her. He then told her he couldn’t be around her and told her to pack her bags and leave.

Wendy went to stay with Victoria who was furious, but offered her support. However Wendy said she was going to move in with son Luke and was leaving for good.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Cain is trying to make it up to Moira (Credit: ITV)

Cain made a pledge to Moira

Moira confronted Cain and asked if he still fancied her – especially with bald patches (that no one else seems to be able to see with those lucious locks). But he insisted he did and things were left uneasily awkward between them again.

Later, while Moira was resting, Cain nestled in next to her, whispered that he still fancied her and he loved her. He promised to find a better way of showing it. But can he hide his guilt long enough to do it?

Joe and Noah made a pact (Credit: ITV)

Joe made some more moves

At Home Farm Kim was looking at a photo of Jamie and Millie feeling wistful. She quizzed Joe over Jamie and where he was and Joe said he would set up a meeting between them.

A power cut saw Joe call Noah for electrical advice. Noah fixed it all for him and Joe was impressed with his work. The two brothers bonded over a cup of tea and Joe told him what Ross had threatened. They decided to conduct a secret brotherly relationship to keep the peace. Later they put on show for Charity to convince her they were having nothing to do with each other.

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Steph’s dad was revealed as distraught Ruby lost everything

Emmerdale tonight aired a sickening turn of events when it was revealed who Steph’s dad is. Ruby could barely contain her heartbreak and terror as Caleb ended their marriage. Has she lost everything?

Meanwhile, Ella became Wendy’s next target and Marlon’s health is deteriorating.

Here’s everything that happened in a particularly difficult episode of Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday January 15.

Ruby decided not to open the DNA results

In the early hours of the morning Ruby agonised over the DNA results and it soon became clear she hadn’t opened them yet.

Meanwhile Anthony was still playing the knight-in-shining armour in the village, helping Arthur with his homework.

Steph decided her mum must be going through the menopause and that’s why she’s so sensitive. But Ruby stormed out.

She went round to see Chas and confessed she was unable to look at the results. She decided she did not want to know and she was going to rip the results up.

Caleb is not Steph’s dad

But back at home, Caleb had a headache and went looking for painkillers in Ruby’s handbag – where he found the DNA results letter. Shaken, he sent Steph off to their meeting alone and sat staring at the envelope.

When Ruby returned, Caleb held out the results letter and asked for answers. “Steph’s not mine,” he shockingly revealed. “0 percent probablity of paternity.”

We feel sick. We genuinely didn’t think Emmerdale would go there.

Ruby also felt horrified as she broke down, struggling to breathe. She begged him to believe she didn’t know for sure and that it didn’t have to change anything.

Caleb ended his marriage – but Ruby didn’t confess

Caleb went ballistic, but still Ruby didn’t tell him what really happened. He wanted to know who Steph’s dad was, but Ruby wouldn’t tell him. He questioned whether it was Rob – or whether she slept around so much even she didn’t know. Ruby begged him to leave it because in every way it mattered Caleb is Steph’s dad.

Caleb told her there was no way back for them and threw her out. He then told Steph they had split up and it was definitely for good. But he couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth about her dad.

Poor Ruby was desperate to keep her family together as she watched Caleb, Steph and Anthony looking close. But she also now has to deal with the consequences of what the DNA results mean.

And she must now confess. She has no choice or else she will lose everything.

Wendy betrayed Ella in Emmerdale tonight

The Hotten Courier had published a story on Ella’s past – we’re looking at you Wendy. They say Ella could be responsible for April’s disappearance.

Ella decided she would go to the journalist and offer to do an interview in exchange for the identity of the person who’d given them the details.Â Wendy was praised by Ella for being there for her – what a joke.

The journalist then turned up again wanting some more gossip. But would Wendy give in?

Marlon is not well

Rhona was worried sick about Marlon as he went back out to search for April. Laurel offered to accompany him. And all the searching made Marlon forget about picking up Leo.

Marlon is clearly struggling and unwell, but he is carrying on, not listening to reason.

Moira is worried about her sex life

Things were a bit awkward between Moira and Cain as she prepared for her second radiotherapy appointment. Vanessa accompanied Moira to her appointment, where Vanessa confided she and Suzy don’t have time to ‘be’ together any more – do we sense trouble in paradise for Vanessa and Suzy?

Moira also confided her and Cain have stalled a bit in that department – Cain no longer wants to rip her clothes off because of her tumour. You can see his point, he’s trying to look after her, but she thinks he doesn’t find her sexy any more. She has noticed something has shifted between them – so how much long can Cain keep his guilty secret?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: The DNA results arrived, Caleb needs to open his eyes and Joe is after something

Emmerdale tonight saw the DNA results arrived, but Ruby didn’t get the chance to read them before Caleb came home. And speaking of Caleb, his behaviour was seriously below par tonight and he needs to pull his socks up.

Elsewhere, Joe let Noah down, but it’s clear he’s plotting something – and we have our suspicions over what.

Here’s everything that went down in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday January 14.

Ruby’s results arrived in Emmerdale tonight

Ruby was worried about her relationship with Steph, and Caleb encouraged her to make an effort with Anthony to impress Steph – and make everyone’s lives easier. Caleb told her to get over it. Here’s a tip, Caleb, notice how distressed your wife is over her dad and find out if there’s more to it.

Caleb went to the hospital and confided in Cain how irritated her was by Ruby. He whinged how she was being so difficult and seems firmly Team Anthony.

We can tell you one thing, we are absolutely not Team Caleb right now, that’s for sure (although obviously we desperately want him to be the dad).

Ruby later got the DNA results delivered, but Caleb arrived home before she could read them. He actually apologised for pushing her to forgive Anthony. Still not impressed with you, Caleb, apology or not.

Joe was plotting in Emmerdale tonight

Joe let Noah down over the Leeds tickets after Ross’ warning. Noah was disappointed. Charity was not disappointed.

Kim was also disappointed in Joe’s behaviour and wanted to know what was going on. Joe gave her some guff about being strategic and she told him she was impressed. Joe then commented he is “pretty sure I’ll get what I want” before he popped some more pills. Is what he wants one of Noah’s organs to save his life?

Marlon teamed up with Ross

Hitting the streets of Leeds again, Marlon was handing out more flyers. Rhona meanwhile was struggling. She wants to know who gave the Hotten Courier the inside scoop on her past. She wondered if it was Vanessa.

Rhona admitted she was angry with April for putting them through this. Vanessa encouraged her to offload her troubles and get some sleep.

Out in Leeds, Marlon chased a girl down and pushed the man she was with over. It wasn’t April and then he saw the bloke was Ross. Ross confessed he had been looking for April every day. Marlon was not happy about it because he blamed Ross for April running away. However the men buried the hatchet and decided to search for her together. But it was soon clear they had a mountain to climb.

Wendy’s the blabbermouth

Wendy looked very suspicious as she heard Ella and Vanessa discussing the Rhona article. Later Wendy was cornered by the journalist in the pub – she’s the one who’s revealed the info. Apparently it was just a chat and the journo has twisted things.

And now the journalist is blackmailing her, threatening to write about Wendy’s own past in order to get herself a story. Wendy has to bring her another story to stop it happening. So who will she turn on next?

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Moira was brushing her lucisious locks and knocked her surgery scar, it made her realise what she’s got to face ahead. Cain promised to support her. However, it was clear Moira was worried about the radiotherapy, asking if she might turn into the Hulk.

Back at home after the treatment Cain wrapped her up in cotton wool (aka a duvet) and looked after her, but something didn’t feel right to Moira – is she on to his deceit?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Marlon despaired as Rhona’s past came back to haunt her

In Emmerdale tonight, Marlon Dingle despaired as the local newspapers dredged up ghosts from Rhona’s past amid the disappearance of April. As her painkiller addiction and baby kidnapping hit the headlines, Marlon’s fears that April might be dead only grew.

Elsewhere, as a guilty Dawn tried to avoid Joe, he attempted to build bridges with Noah – only for an angry Ross to try and warn him off. Meanwhile, Cain and the boys gave Moira some much-needed support, and Anthony had his algebra lesson with Angelica.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, January 13.

Another blow for Marlon and Rhona (Credit: ITV)

Marlon despaired in Emmerdale tonight

As the episode began, Marlon had a vivid dream of April’s death, picturing himself running through the woods, where police had found her body. He woke up in a state, having slept on the sofa to guard for any more intruders.

As Mary rallied the troops, Marlon was frustrated that everyone else seemed to be getting back to normal. Vanessa had some more bad news for the family – popping around, she showed the family a Hotten Courier article dredging up Rhona’s past, her painkiller addiction and the whole kidnapping baby Ivy thing.

At The Woolpack, Marlon wallowed in the worst of the comments. Mary’s fears that April might be dead left him even more upset and angry, and he lashed out – publicly screaming at Mary and the others for having given up.

Out back, he confided in Rhona about his nightmare – and his fears that Mary might be right. Instead, a visit from case worker Anna had good news – CCTV footage had spitted April on the streets of Leeds, very much alive and well.

Good news for once!

Ross had harsh words for Joe (Credit: ITV)

Joe’s sick, and Ross passed on a message

Marlon wasn’t the only one who had a bad night’s sleep – Joe Tate awoke, immediately downing a handful of pills to manage his mystery illness.

He paid visit to Noah, hoping to make amends for badmouthing the Dingles. Trying to get into his half-brother’s good books, he offered to put in a good word with a mate to score them both some VIP tickets to a Leeds match.

Just then, a bickering Charity and Ross walked in. Charity was less than happy to see Joe hanging around, and quickly gave him his marching orders. Ross, meanwhile, was even less pleased to see the man he held responsible for his acid attack.

With Joe gone, Charity tried to bar Noah from seeing his half-sibling – but this only succeeded in helping Noah over to Joe’s side. Charity bonded with Ross over her distaste for Joe – telling him she’d put in a good word with Moses if he passed on a ‘message.’

Sneaking onto Home Farm, Ross confronted Joe with the ‘receipts’ – warning him that he’d be a dead man if he went near Noah again. Will Joe get the message?

Dawn felt guilty as Joe swaggered about

At Home Farm, Dawn tried to hide her guilty conscience from Billy. Not easy when the man she locked lips with is living under the same roof. As she kissed her husband goodbye, Joe accused her of ‘overcompensating’ and feeling jealous about his other exploits.

Cain did his best to support Moira (Credit: ITV)

Moira spent the day with her family

Moira was in a rush to complete the household work before radiotherapy tomorrow. A nervous Moira faced questioning from the kids while Cain dished out the chores to an annoyed Matty.

Looking to do something nice with the boys, Moira promised to take them out to the climbing wall. As the family left, Cain spotted Kyle thieving cash from the family funds jar. What is the lad up to?

Later, in the cafe, Cain stood by Moira, pledging to stick by her throughout her procedure. Later, he also covered for Kyle when she discovered the money missing from the jar.

At least the money had been put to a good cause – and, as Kyle arrived home, he handed over a gift to Moira from him and Isaac; a special moisturizer for radiotherapy patients.

“Knowing that I’ve got you three by my side, I think I can cope with anything,” a loved-up Moira swooned. Cue the guilty looks from Cain.

Anthony got his feet under Nicola’s table on Emmerdale tonight

As news about Rhona’s past began to spread, Nicola was quick to point out to Anthony that the article’s claims were all true. “What happened in the past should stay there,” she said, charitably. Anthony would no doubt agree.

Following his lesson with Angelica, he was full of praise, describing her as a model student. Thrilled by her daughter’s progress, Nicola told him he’d have to come around for some of her, uh, lamb and date tagine. Pardon us – for once, Anthony isn’t the only thing turning our stomach.
