Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has proved that she harbours no ill feeling toward comedian Peter Kay following his recent heckler controversy. The Bolton funnyman made headlines after invoking the Emmerdale star’s name while dealing with a heckler.
According to reports, Peter grew frustrated after an audience member repeatedly shouted out ‘garlic bread’ during a recent gig. After having the person in question removed, another attracted his ire – a woman who shouted out “we love you Peter!”
According to MailOnline, Peter replied: “Oh Christ almighty. Bloody hell. I love Saturdays. Is he gone now? Alright, love I’ve heard you. Take her out and all while you’re up there will you? Take her out.”
He reportedly continued: “Go on, you’ve missed the ending and everything, what a shame with your [expletive] big gob drinking de-icer. Out you go. Go on, Lisa Riley, [expletive] off. Go on. Out you pop flower, go on. See ya.â€

Peter Kay attracts controversy after Lisa Riley jab
This comparison had many offended, with the woman telling Manchester Evening News that she felt Peter was making a jab at her weight with the comment.
“I do feel he was on about my weight,” she told the newspaper. “I’m self-conscious about that so to go to a show and feel like you’re having the mick taken out of you because of your weight, I was just a bit shocked.”
The Mandy Dingle star, however, seems not to have taken it too seriously – attending his show on Saturday night, and even sharing a picture afterward.

Lisa Riley shows no hard feelings as she poses for a picture with Peter Kay
Posting to her Instagram account, Lisa shared a series of pictures from the show – including a group snap and a close-up selfie.
Lisa captioned the post: “THANK YOU so so so much Peter for the most fantastic night last night at @firstdirectarena. We laughed until it hurt – the show is absolutely hilarious. We were up until way gone midnight reciting all the jokes-northern at its absolute best.
“My best mate Floss and my God-Daughter Chloe had the most beautiful night-smiling from ear to ear and still laughing this morning. It was OUTSTANDING…..so much nostalgia that warms your heart.”

It was an emotional episode of Emmerdale on Thursday March 6, as Amy and Leyla’s funerals took place following their tragic deaths in the limo crash last month.
With both funerals taking place at the exact same time (who planned that?!) the villagers had to pick which one to attend. This affected Eric Pollard the most, who said both Amy and Leyla were like daughters to him, but he had to go to Leyla’s funeral in order to be there for grandson Jacob.
Leyla’s voice could be heard throughout the episode and it seems she took several secrets to the grave…
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale last night (Thursday, March 6).

The villagers said goodbye to Leyla
Having planned her own funeral during the height of her addiction, Leyla’s coffin was carried by six hunky pallbearers to the sound of She’s A Lady. Some of the villagers wrongly assumed they’d been hired, but Belle quickly pointed out they were actually “friends” of Leyla’s. Oh-er!
Leyla’s voice was heard saying, “Now that is what I call a Madonna moment. Lifted in the air by six hunks. Granted, I would have preferred it without the coffin, but a girl can’t always have everything.”
Liam read a letter from Leyla, which she had written from a hospital bed while addicted to drugs. She said she hoped he’d never have to read the letter, that hopefully she’d quit that ‘poison’. “But obviously if you’re reading this, that hasn’t happened. I failed. I messed up time and time again,” she said.
Leyla’s voice took over from Liam’s as she praised her son Jacob: “You’re kind and patient. Always there whenever I needed you, parenting me, when it should have been the other way round. Being your mother is a privilege. You have been a privilege.”
At the graveside, Jacob echoed his mum’s word, saying: “You weren’t always the greatest mum, but what you were was my best friend.”

Amy’s funeral took place
While Leyla’s funeral was fairly traditional, Amy’s funeral was an outside affair. Matty spoke about Amy in the present tense and explained that Amy loves nature.
“I’m talking like Amy is still here. That’s because she is. She’s my soulmate,” he said. Sob! Victoria also spoke about Amy, telling the congregation that Amy was like a sister to her.
Despite it being her daughter’s funeral, Kerry managed to keep it together and took over from Matty when he broke down during the reading.
Cain, Mack, Vinny and Matty carried the coffin as Angels by Robbie Williams played. Maybe Amy would have preferred Leyla’s pallbearers?

Tracy’s secret was revealed in Emmerdale Thursday March 6
At the wake in the Woolpack, Eric thanked Tracy Robinson for being a big help and getting him through the day. With guilt written all over her face, it was clear she was hiding something.
We soon became aware of exactly what… A flashback showed Leyla in the shop buying a bottle of fizz. As she handed Tracy the money, Tracy told her she had lipstick on her teeth.
Leyla turned around and checked her face in a mirror. In the mirror, she could see what was going on behind her and spotted Tracy putting the £20 she’d just given her in her bra rather than in the till.
Tracy told a shocked Leyla that she is broke because Nate has disappeared and pays no maintenance. Leyla told Tracy to put the money in the till and gave her another £20. Although grateful, Tracy admitted it wouldn’t touch the surface as she has probably stolen about 2 grand altogether. Will Eric ever discover the truth?
Mary lied to Vanessa (Credit: ITV)
Mary also has a secret
Continuing to be a rock for Vanessa, privately Mary has been harbouring a secret. As Leyla’s voice spoke the words “It’s not fair how one little mistake can destroy something forever,” another flashback showed Mary and Suzy on the day of the limo crash.
Suzy told Mary she needs to realise how special she is, telling her she is “Funny, wise and gorgeous”. Suzy then shocked Mary by revealing she wasn’t just being kind, it’s how she truly feels.
Suzy admitted that she loved Vanessa, but said “that love… it’s not like what I feel for you”. Leyla then walked in on the two kissing.
In the present day, Vanessa told Mary that she had been planning on proposing to Suzy. Vanessa asked Mary if she thought Suzy would have said yes. Mary lied and said that Vanessa was the one for Suzy. Is this another secret that Leyla has taken to the grave?
Matty broke down (Credit: ITV)
Cain and Matty fought and made up in Emmerdale Thursday March 6
Still angry at Cain for cheating on his mum, Matty continued to snipe at Cain all day. At the Wake, things came to a head and Matty lashed out at Cain, telling him Amy would be turning in her grave.
The two men moved to the toilets where Cain invited Matty to punch him, but said they had to stop the public animosity in front of Kyle.
Cain went on to say that Matty wouldn’t be allowed to see Kyle if he was in that state. Matty was horrified as he believes Kyle is his only link left to Amy.
The two men soon came to an understanding when Cain said he isn’t the enemy and he visibly moved Matty when he said: “As far as I’m concerned, you are my son.” Matty was later seen bonding with Kyle, as he shared a smile with Cain.

Elsewhere in Emmerdale Thursday March 6
Leyla was a busy lady on the day of the limo crash. On top of discovering Tracy and Mary’s secrets, another flashback showed that she also walked in on Manpreet looking at something on her laptop.
Although we didn’t see the screen, a shocked Leyla exclaimed: “Is that you?” before Manpreet quickly shut the computer. In the present day, Manpreet received a text message from an unknown number claiming to know her dirty secret. Just what is Manpreet hiding?
Meanwhile, Sarah did a pregnancy test and it came back positive. But with the funeral going on, she didn’t get a chance to talk to Jacob about it.

It’s been a rough year so far, but things finally seem to be on the up for Cain Dingle in Emmerdale. Cain has been in a dark place ever since cheating on wife Moira in a fling with sister-in-law Ruby last year.
Since then, he’s wrestled with his guilt, managing to pull himself together enough to support Moira through her recovery and subsequent foll0w-up treatment. However, his dark secret came out on Valentine’s Day (how romantic) after a confrontation with Caleb aired his dirty laundry all over the village.
Cain confessed to Moira, who was devastated by his betrayal. While it looked for a while as though their marriage was over, the pair reconciled this week, putting Cain and Moira back on an even keel.
But what’s next for Cain Dingle? His marriage may have been saved, but there’s still much to come for the Dingle hardman…

Concentrate on rebuilding his family… carefully
First things first, Cain will need to start rebuilding his family. While Moira reassured him that he didn’t need to make it up to her – to “just make it work” – Cain will still want to rebuild a foundation of trust.
This includes Matty, who was fuming at the news that Moira had taken back Cain in spite of his betrayal. Cain was patient as Matty lashed out on Thursday, describing him as his son, in spite of all that had gone on.
“That Matty and Cain scene tonight was so lovely, I really need to see them have more of a bond in the coming months,” wrote one viewer.
But does Cain need to watch his back? One fan theory has suggested that Moira might not be quite so forgiving after all.
“Hmmmm I still think she’s up to something,” suggested one fan.
“Cain’s slow as hell. Although I don’t believe Moira for a second,” said another.

Hold a self-pity party after the death of Nate
One dark cloud over the horizon is the impending revelation that Nate is dead. In the aftermath of the limo crash last month, the soap confirmed that Nate is dead – and currently chained up in an icy lake.
With Nate’s death sure to come out eventually, Cain won’t take the news well – especially considering how they parted, with Cain beating him up after falsely accusing his son of seducing Moira again.
“Cain is gonna think worse about himself soon. The last time he saw him, he beat him up for something he didn’t do and never got to apologise to him,” one fan pointed out on Reddit.
Will Cain be able to forgive himself for his treatment of Nate?

Tell Steph about Anthony
Between feeling sorry for himself and caring for his sick wife, Cain has also had to contend with a murder cover-up. While John appeared to ease worried minds by showing them where he’d stashed the body (or did he?) Steph is still asking some difficult questions.
“I think Cain is going to be the one who tells Steph the truth about Anthony raping her mother and his role her conception,†one fan shared on X.
Caleb’s hospital stay is still to come (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale flash-forwards suggest Cain puts Caleb in hospital… or worse
As their feud escalated last week, Cain issued his brother a chilling threat. This came as he learned Caleb had planned to frame him for Anthony’s murder.
And, with a flash-forward still to play out, fans know that Caleb will find himself flatlining in hospital later this year. Is this a result of Cain making good on his threat?
“I reckon the flash forward of Caleb flatlining in hospital is because he killed Nate, Cain finds out and puts him in a coma,” suggested one fan.
“Is Cain at Nate’s graveside and is that the reason Caleb in hospital? Because Cain found out he killed his son?” another asked, referencing the second flash-forward – which saw Cain looking distraught at a mystery grave.
Fans feared Jeff Hordley might not survive the events of February (Credit: ITV)
Cain to leave Emmerdale?
In the run-up to the ice limo crash, many viewers stressed that the fan-favourite Dingle might be leaving the soap. Actor Jeff Hordley didn’t exactly do much to assuage those fears either, saying previously: “I worry all the time! …Not all the time, that’s a little over the top.
He continued: “Every time there’s news of this [exits] it can settle us as a cast because we know the shelf life of characters in not forever on soaps, and it’s down to the producers and writers to steer the ship and take us in the direction they want to take us.â€
Cain may have survived the Valentine’s Day cull, but could a surprise exit be on the cards still?

Former Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi has teased her future career role plans on another soap following her exit as Leyla Harding.
Roxy’s character Leyla Harding was killed off from the Dales-based soap last month in a tragic limo crash.
Now, Roxy’s already thinking about switching Emmerdale village up for Weatherfield…

Leyla’s death in Emmerdale
Last month, a huge limo crash rocked the Dales as it claimed the lives of Suzy, Amy and Leyla.
Hoping that a great night out would cure her loneliness, Leyla put on a sparkly outfit and ‘got into that limo if it killed her.’ And, well, it did.
A piece of glass sadly went straight through Leyla’s stomach, causing her to lose consciousness. Kerry dragged her across the ice but as soon as she got into an ambulance… she died.
Jacob was devastated as he found his dead mum lying in the morgue whilst he was working on shift in A&E. Talk about traumatising.
Despite dying a couple of weeks back, Leyla’s final scenes however actually aired last night (Thursday, Â March 6).
Leyla narrated her own funeral, with flashbacks then seeing her uncover several secrets of other villagers’ before she passed. What an iconic ending for an iconic character.

Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi teases hopes for future role on rival soap
With her final scenes in Emmerdale as Leyla Harding having now aired on screen, actress Roxy Shahidi has now spoken out about what’s next for her career.
As well as continuing with her yoga business, Roxy has shared other exciting plans for the future.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Roxy shared: “I’m really excited about doing more podcasts with Matthew Wolfenden and maybe doing some presenting. I also write, so I want to do more writing. I want to keep acting, too.
She added: “I just would like to do lots of different things, now that I’ve got the freedom to try my hand at new projects and just see what happens. I just want to go on a bit of an adventure and allow things to be unpredictable.”
She then teased which other shows she’d love to work on, with one being ITV rival soap, Corrie.
“Coronation Street would be good. I also wouldn’t mind doing a continuing drama – I’d love to maybe do Waterloo Road.” Could we see Roxy rocking up on the cobbles in the coming years?
Emmerdale fans already weren’t happy over Leyla Harding’s death, but they’ve branded it as a huge ‘mistake’ once again after last night (Thursday, March 6).
In a huge twist, Leyla’s funeral episode aired a special voiceover, with Leyla narrating her own send-off.
With Leyla making sure that she was the star of the show in life and death, fans reckon these scenes have confirmed that her death was an extremely bad decision.

Leyla’s funeral episode
Last night in the Dales, the villagers (and viewers) were left teary-eyed as Leyla narrated her own funeral.
She made sure she was remembered in style, with six men carrying her gold coffin. She even made ex-husband Liam read a eulogy to her, in a super awkward but memorable moment.
Afterwards, at her wake, it turned out that Leyla had even left messages to her loved ones. Jacob’s reminded him to use moisturiser…
In another huge moment, it was then revealed that Leyla had actually take not one, not two… but three secrets to the grave.
Proving that she was the heart and soul of the village, intertwined in everyone’s lives until the very end, she caught Tracy pocketing money from the shop.
She then walked in on Mary kissing Suzy, and also rumbled Manpreet’s saucy online side-hustle…
Fans miss the character already (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale fans brand Leyla death huge ‘mistake’ once more
When Leyla sadly died in the limo crash last month, fans made their devastation known. They thought the soap’s decision to kill off the long-running character was a bad decision.
And now, with Leyla having one last moment to shine in her (and, oh sorry, Amy’s) funeral episode, fans reckon these scenes have cemented the decision to kill off Leyla being a massive mistake. They think that Leyla being alive to spill all of the secrets would’ve been much more enjoyable.
One fan commented: “This episode is confirming that killing off Leyla and Suzy was a massive mistake.”
Another person shared: “It’s increasingly obvious that killing off Amy, Leyla and Suzy is one of the all-time worst decisions.”
A third person added: “I do feel sorry for Leyla. Should have caused some chaos with the secrets being spilled. We’ve been robbed.”
A new Emmerdale fan theory has emerged, suggesting that Leyla Harding could have been murdered amid the chaos of the limo crash. This comes as the soap revealed that Leyla took a clutch of secrets to the grave – including those of her fellow limo passengers.
As the village gathered for Leyla’s funeral (or at least those who weren’t at Amy’s), three flashbacks played out – showing Leyla as she stumbled across three shocking secrets hidden by Suzy, Manpreet and Tracy.
Could one of those secrets have been the death of Leyla?

Leyla murdered in limo crash, wild new Emmerdale fan theory suggests
Writing on a Reddit thread in the wake of last night’s flashbacks, one viewer laid forth a bold new theory – positing that Leyla had in fact been murdered by one of the three guilty parties (well, maybe not Manpreet, who wasn’t even in the car).
“Maybe Leyla didn’t die as a result of the limo crash, she knew alot of secrets, maybe murder?” this fan suggested.
Leyla was killed as the limousine crashed into an ice-covered lake. Like fellow passenger Suzy, she died of injuries sustained during the initial crash – stabbed with something sharp as it careened from the road.
While she seemed fine in the moments following (unlike Suzy), Leyla passed out before she could escape. Kerry managed to drag her to safety, but she died on the way to hospital.
But was her death as cut-and-dry as it seemed? Or is someone harbouring an even darker secret?

Tracy?
A recent fan theory has already suggested that Tracy killed ex-Nate – who the soap revealed to be dead and chained up within the lake. And last night’s flashback saw Leyla catch her stealing money from Pollard’s shop.
Ashamed and desperate, Tracy was desperate to keep her secret. But how desperate? Could Tracy have stuck the knife (or another sharp implement) in as the limo crashed?
Suzy was the first to die (Credit: ITV)
Suzy?
Like Leyla, Suzy died of injuries sustained in the crash. Unlike Leyla, she never made it out of the car at all. Dying of a bang to the head as the car crashed, that would seem to rule her out of Leyla’s death.
But might she have stabbed Leyla in the moments before her own death? She too was hiding a secret – she was in love with Mary, and planning to leave Vanessa. But, let’s face it, Vanessa would have found out as soon as Suzy dumped her… so probably not.
And besides, we seriously doubt she’d off her own friend and co-worker, no matter how desperate she might be.
Would any of the women really have cause to kill Leyla? (Credit: ITV)
Charity, Chas, Liam, Amy, Kerry or Vanessa?
Also in the car were Charity, Chas, Liam, Amy, Kerry and Vanessa. Given that Charity was driving at the time, that would rule her out – even if she was inadvertently responsible for Leyla’s death.
That leaves Amy and Kerry, Chas and Liam, and Vanessa. Out of everyone, there’s not a particularly strong motive left – not unless the soap is planning on yet another flashback.

*Warning: Emmerdale spoilers follow from the Friday March 7 episode, which is available now on ITVX, but has not yet aired on ITV*
Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Friday, March 7 – streaming now on ITVX) reveals what exactly Manpreet Sharma has been hiding. As her blackmail continues, she reveals to Ella that she’s been posting intimate pictures of herself online.
Feeling miserable after her split from Charles, Manpreet boosted her confidence by posting pictures to her social media. After one of her followers suggested she open a subscription site, Manpreet took things to the next level. She’d felt validated and empowered at first – but things took a darker turn when someone began texting, claiming to know her secret.
Who’s got it in for Manpreet? (Credit: ITV)
Manpreet’s blackmail continues in Emmerdale spoilers tonight
She and Ella delete the profile, but that doesn’t make a difference to her blackmailer – who texts immediately, sending screenshots of the pics to her mobile, along with the threatening message ‘ONE WORD TO THE POLICE AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW YOUR SECRET.’
This came as the mystery third party continued to text her menacing messages, all claiming to know her ‘dirty little secret.’ As last night’s episode revealed, Leyla knew what Manpreet had been up to – having walked in on her at her computer in the surgery. But with Leyla dead, she’s not on the list of suspects.
But who’s blackmailing Manpreet – and what might this mean for her, professionally speaking?

What does Manpreet’s secret mean for her career?
As she shares her worries with Ella tonight, Manpreet stresses about the damage scandal might do to her career.
“Imagine if it gets out online, in the local newspaper, all about the dodgy doc who gets her kit off. I can kiss any hero status goodbye,” she tells Ella.
“I have a reputation to protect and patients to look after,” she continues.
She was a shoulder to cry on, but is Ella secretly Manpreet’s tormentor? (Credit: ITV)
Is Ella blackmailing Manpreet?
As Manpreet’s confidante, Ella is there in her time of need. But, with actress Paula Lane set to leave the soap over the coming weeks, she likely has a big story beckoning before she goes.
A big twist to the tale would be that it’s Ella behind Manpreet’s torment. Impressive work, given that the texts were still coming in as she sat with Manpreet, but whoever it was did catch on to the profile being deleted awfully fast…
Billy and Manpreet have history (Credit: ITV)
Could it be Billy?
Another suspect could be Billy, who Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal begins to show an interest in Manpreet after starting to feel rejected by Dawn.
Billy and Manpreet have history, after she attempted to kiss him last year during a drunken fumble. Both parties seemed to move on, but with Billy increasingly sidelined by Dawn’s new man, might he take out his frustrations on poor Manpreet?
As it is, an early fan theory emerged suggesting that the texts could be from someone onto a ‘secret romance’ between Manpreet and Billy. Consider that theory debunked, but is Billy involved in her blackmail?
Let’s face it… probably not (Credit: ITV)
Fans are begging for Meena to return
Wishful thinking, this one, but fans have been holding out for a return from Manpreet’s sister, the murderous Meena Jutla. With all that time on her hands in prison, could Meena have stumbled across Manpreet’s online activities and begun blackmailing her?
An unlikely prospect, perhaps, but a quite delicious one regardless.

Leyla Harding and Amy Barton were remembered as Emmerdale aired their funerals last night (Thursday, March 6).
Throughout the episode, Leyla provided a voiceover from beyond the grave, narrating her own funeral. She always was the star of her own show, after all.
Amy was also given a lovely tribute, with her floral funeral being held in the woods. Even Chip the Dog came to pay his respects. And fans have now praised the soap for an ’emotional’ yet ‘beautiful’ episode.

Leyla and Amy’s funeral episode in Emmerdale
Last night saw both Leyla and Amy be laid to rest following their deaths in the recent limo crash. Leyla made sure that she was given a send-off fitting for her personality, narrating her own funeral.
Meanwhile, in the woods, Amy was given a peaceful send-off herself as Matty teared up during his eulogy. However, tensions between Matty and Cain threatened to ruin the tribute.
Near to the end of the episode, it was then revealed through a series of flashbacks that Leyla had actually taken several secrets of other villagers’ to the grave.
She’d caught Tracy stealing money from the shop, before walking in on Suzy and Mary kissing. And just to add another secret to her belt, she’d also caught Manpreet posting something rather saucy online…
Fans loved the episode (Credit: ITV)
Fans praise soap for ‘beautiful’ tribute to Leyla and Amy
After the unique and rather different episode that aired last night, fans have taken to social media to praise the soap for the scenes.
It’s safe to say that they’ve been left rather satisfied by the ‘beautiful’ tribute to the much-loved, late characters.
One fan commented: “So many beautiful moments – Leyla’s funeral is her down to a tee whilst Amy’s was also beautiful – the flashbacks were interesting as well especially Tracy & Manpreet’s ones.”
Another fan agreed: “What a beautiful send off for Amy and Leyla. Both women took plenty of secrets to the grave with them.”
A third viewer added: “Emmerdale sure know how to do an emotional episode like the one tonight.”
Another person shared: “Just caught up on this now, what a great episode, loved it. The way it was done with Leyla’s monologue throughout, and the secrets and lies….well done all.”
A final viewer finished: “What a fantastic episode of Emmerdale today! A mix of sadness, reflection and revelations all with an honest and heartfelt monologue by Leyla. Not a dry eye, I’m sure! Well done to all involved.”

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale saw a return to screens for the late Leyla Harding and Suzy Merton in a series of flashbacks. Killed in last month’s horrific limousine crash, Leyla and Suzy have been mourned by those who loved them, including Leyla’s son Jacob and Suzy’s two adoring admirers (one, it became clear, without the other’s knowledge).
And, as the village laid Leyla and Amy Barton to rest tonight, the soap aired three flashbacks to the days leading up to their deaths. One after the other, three bombshells dropped, revealing the secrets Leyla had been party to before she died.
And what doozies they were!

Emmerdale revealed Suzy, Tracy and Manpreet’s secrets tonight
Tracy, we learned, has been pocketing money from the till Meanwhile, Suzy was planning on leaving Vanessa after declaring her feelings for Mary.
Writing on social media as the flashbacks aired, fans shared their thoughts on these revelations. And many were left unsatisfied, feeling as though Suzy and Mary’s relationship deserved more than a short flashback.
“Just watched today’s Emmerdale. And gutted all over again at the choice to kill off Leyla & Suzy. The Suzy/Mary relationship should have been explored way back instead of them shoving Suzy with Vanessa and then massively underusing the character!” wrote one fan.
“One short flashback scene is all writers would commit to Mary & Suzy, a human interest storyline that deserved to be beautifully told,” said another.
“Mary and Suzy???? That’s taken me out more than the fact Emmerdale didn’t show this infidelity In real time? What’s the matter with them? They usually love to show it,” said another.
Has the soap wasted an opportunity in its flashback revelations?

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Thursday, March 6) revealed that Tracy, Mary and Manpreet have all been hiding some pretty big secrets from their family and friends. As a series of flashbacks exposed three secrets Leyla had taken to her grave, viewers learned what exactly the three villagers had been hiding.
In the first flashback, Leyla caught Tracy red-handing stealing money from Pollard’s shop. As she confronted her, Tracy admitted that she’d had no child support money from Nate (not surprising, given he’s currently dead at the bottom of a lake) and that she’d stolen £2k worth of takings from Pollard to make ends meet.
Then, in the second, she walked in to find Mary and Suzy kissing. Suzy had just admitted her feelings to Mary, and was planning on dumping Vanessa so that they can be together.
And, in the third, Leyla found Manpreet in front of her computer at work. Seeing what was on the screen, she realised that Manpreet had quite the online presence. And, in the present day, a mystery message showed that someone else knows too…
But what happens next?
Tracy’s not the only one hiding something (Credit: ITV)
What happens next as the secrets of Mary, Tracy and Manpreet are revealed
While Leyla has taken these secrets to her grave, it’s unlikely that they’ll stay buried for long. And with Mary still pining for lost love Suzy – while also attempting to support Vanessa – how long can she keep quiet about the true nature of their relationship?
Emmerdale spoilers for next week haven’t said whether she continues to keep quiet, but with Suzy’s funeral still to come, she may yet be tested as emotions continue to build.
Meanwhile, with Manpreet receiving threatening messages claiming to know what she’s been up to, she too will have to work to keep her secret hidden.
And, Nate still being very dead, Tracy’s money situation will surely only worsen. And with Leyla now silenced, will she be tempted to continue stealing from Pollard?

It’s Suzy’s funeral and Mary struggles to balance her guilt with her sense of loss. After the funeral, she overhears Vanessa tell Charity what a rock she’s been over the last few weeks.
Listening in, Mary’s guilt only grows. Will she come clean about her feelings for Suzy – and Suzy’s own plans to break up with Vanessa?
