    What happened in Emmerdale on Friday March 7: Manpreet opened up and Jacob broke up with Sarah

    In Emmerdale Friday March 7, Manpreet finally revealed exactly what her huge secret is to Ella, but things only got worse. And when Sarah went to tell Jacob about her pregnancy, things did not go well at all.

    Elsewhere Dylan was struggling with withdrawal symptoms and lashed out at April just as Marlon walked in.

    And Tracy’s money problems continued to grow as she keeps stealing from Eric.

    Read on for a full recap of Emmerdale tonight (March 7).

    Manpreet reveals all in Emmerdale Friday March 7

    Clearly on edge because of the text messages she has been receiving, she decided to block the number. However, this didn’t help as she soon got another one informing her that they “are not going anywhere”. It didn’t take long for Ella to work out something was going on – and Manpreet finally opened up.

    She revealed that she began posting photos of herself to her social media after she and Charles broke up because she felt rejected. But when a follower suggested she got a subscription account, it became something bigger.

    Now, with the messages, Manpreet is realising her career may be in complete jeopardy. And no matter how much Ella tried to reassure her, the doc wasn’t convinced. Ella then told her to delete her account – which she did.

    But immediately after she got another message: “Deleting your profile won’t make a difference”. As it turns out, the blackmailer has taken screenshots of all of Manpreet’s content. Another message came in: “One word to the police and everyone will know your secret. I will be in touch.” Who is sending the messages?

    Sarah confides in Charity

    Charity was on her way out but quickly realised something was wrong with Sarah, who stunned her by admitting she was pregnant. She headed out to meet with Jacob but before she got the chance to tell him the news, he broke up with her.

    Again, his reasoning was that he didn’t want to lose anyone else, and there was no changing his mind. Sarah returned home clearly upset and told Charity the situation.

    She reminded her that Sarah will have all of the Dingles to support her no matter what she decides to do. But Sarah’s mind was already made up – she wants the baby.

    Marlon gets frustrated as Dylan struggles

    Clearly in withdrawal from the drugs, Dylan starts to lash out at April who is trying to help him. And he does it just as Marlon walks in (bad timing!). Dylan heads out and Marlon tells April that she can’t be the one to help him get clean and that he needs professional help. But April is adamant that her experience on the streets makes her the best person to help.

    She even flips the situation asking Marlon what he would like to happen if it was her in that situation. While Marlon eases up on her, he heads to meet Ross (new best friends?). Ross instantly is on Marlon’s side and tells him they need to do something to get through to April.

    Elsewhere in Emmerdale Friday March 7

    It’s Vanessa’s birthday and she is missing Suzy. And when she continues to turn to Mary for support, Mary keeps her and Suzy’s secret quiet. But clearly with a guilty conscious, she decides to host small birthday celebrations for her.

    Tracy can’t afford to contribute as viewers found out last night that she is stealing from the shop. And despite promising Leyla that she would stop, Tracy once again gives in.

    When Victoria arrives, stopping her from telling Eric the truth, she suggests Frankie joins Harry for swimming lessons. And later signs her up with a deposit, leaving Tracy anxious about how she will pay for it.

  • What happened in Emmerdale on Thursday March 6: Two emotional funerals, two surprise ‘returns’ and three shocking secrets

    What happened in Emmerdale on Thursday March 6: Two emotional funerals, two surprise ‘returns’ and three shocking secrets

    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.”

    RIP Leyla Millicent Harding.

    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 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?

    Cain and Matty

    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.

    Leyla Manpreet

    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.

  • What happened in Emmerdale Wednesday March 5: Sarah thinks she’s pregnant and Dylan gets to stay

    What happened in Emmerdale Wednesday March 5: Sarah thinks she’s pregnant and Dylan gets to stay

    In Emmerdale on Wednesday (March 5) Marlon jumped to conclusions about Dylan, before realising he was massively wrong. And Jacob lost his temper at Sarah, who had a pregnancy test in her bag.

    Elsewhere the mystery of Manpreet’s texts continue as the girls of the village paid tribute to those they lost in the Woolpack.

    And Cain continued to get grief from Matty, who was adamant that he doesn’t deserve Moira’s forgiveness, or to be at Amy’s funeral.

    Read on for a full recap of Emmerdale for Wednesday March 5.

    Dylan gets another day in the village

    Marlon reluctantly let Dylan come along to his, April’s and Paddy’s lunch at The Hyde, after giving him a list of hostels to spend the night at. But Dylan had already tried them, and they were full.

    Before their lunch, April opens up to her friend on how she’s feeling about her baby’s death. But she was unaware that Marlon sat in the other room listening to everything she said on a baby monitor.

    The three of them went to meet Paddy, and while they are there, Paddy’s phone goes missing. Marlon immediately blames Dylan, assuming that he had taken it. This only angers April more, who then gets Dylan and leaves.

    Not long after that Marlon comes home apologising as Paddy found his phone in the bathroom. April angrily explains to Marlon that she would be dead if it wasn’t for Dylan. This seems to strike a nerve, as Marlon asks Rhona if he could stay another couple of nights. The pair decide as long as he has no drugs, then he can stay only for a few nights.

    Jacob spirals and Sarah thinks she’s pregnant

    It’s Leyla’s birthday. And Jacob decided he wanted to head back to his placement, however everyone thinks it’s too soon. This turns out to be true, as a patient arrives with the exact same injuries as Leyla and he panics.

    He gets sent home, told to take time to grieve and come back in a few weeks or months. So, his next move is to get drunk. He meets up with Ritch for some beers, ignoring Sarah’s calls and Belle’s questions about the funeral.

    They then head back to Jacob’s house and he had invited a bunch of people he didn’t know over for a party. It doesn’t take long before Sarah arrives, but he isn’t interested in what she has to say and forcefully gets her out of the house.

    But then as she’s leaving she looks in her bag and we saw she had a pregnancy test. How will the pair cope?

    Emmerdale: Vanessa lashes out at Mary

    Mary has been clearly harbouring a secret about Suzy ever since she died. And in Emmerdale tonight, she went to check on Vanessa. But when she kept asking questions about the funeral, Vanessa lashed out and told her to stop. And even uninvited her.

    But later, realising she had been a bit harsh, Vanessa apologised and Mary admitted Suzy meant the world to her, quickly adding “as a friend”. And she still had Suzy’s photo on her, so what is she hiding?

    Cain looks upset in Emmerdale

    Matty remains annoyed at Cain

    Kerry and Matty were still struggling with Amy’s death. And it didn’t help when Cain came to drop of his suit for the funeral. Matty was quick to question why Moira would have sent him, and was immediately angry when he heard Cain and his mum were giving it another go.

    He told him that he knows he will never change, and ultimately hurt Moira again. But Cain was adamant that the pair are for keeps (Please keep it that way, Emmerdale).

    Matty furiously tells him that he shouldn’t come to Amy’s funeral, reminding him the way he acted when he found out Amy was pregnant with Kyle. However, it was Kerry who came to his defence. She told her son-in-law that no matter what he thinks of Cain, Kyle needs him to be there.

    Tracy looks guilty in Emmerdale

    Elsewhere in Emmerdale…

    The girls of the village met up to toast Leyla, Amy and Suzy. But as they were about to pay for drinks, Vanessa spotted how much cash Tracy had in her purse. Tracy nervously told Vanessa that she was paid in cash, but is that the truth? And if not, where is she getting the money from?

    And finally, Manpreet continued to get her mystery texts. She left the pub early, telling the girls that she got called in to work, but judging by the smirk on her face, that definitely wasn’t it. But what is she hiding?

  • As Jacob looks set to become a dad, Emmerdale star Joe-Warren Plant admits: ‘This might be the kick Jacob needs’

    As Jacob looks set to become a dad, Emmerdale star Joe-Warren Plant admits: ‘This might be the kick Jacob needs’

    Jacob is in a bad place, according to Joe-Warren Plant, who plays the troubled med student in Emmerdale. The heartbreaking death of his mum Leyla has taken its toll. He’s lonely, isolated, working hard on his medical studies and generally burning the candle at both ends.

    It’s a testing time for the wannabe doctor. So we caught up with Joe-Warren, who plays Jacob, to find out what’s going on with his alter ego.

    Is Sarah the one for Jacob in Emmerdale?

    One bright spot in Jacob’s life is Sarah – until this week when he cruelly rejects her just as she thinks she could be pregnant.

    So is Jacob just lashing out under the stress of planning his mum’s funeral? Or has he decided Sarah isn’t the one for him after all?

    “His feelings for Sarah are definitely genuine,” says Joe-Warren. “Over the last few weeks and months even he’s been struggling with his placement on A&E, he’s not got off to the best start there, but he does genuinely care about Sarah. It’s nice to see their relationship grow.”

    Jacob’s going off the rails

    Though Jacob’s feelings are genuine, his behaviour this week doesn’t bode well for poor Sarah. He’s having trouble coping with Leyla’s death, he’s been sent home from the hospital because he’s finding it too hard, and so he meets up with new friend Rich to get drunk.

    He even invites a load of random people from uni to a party at Leyla’s house. So is Rich trouble for Jacob?

    “They have a lot in common, but with the pressures that the job brings it opens people up to coping mechanisms,” explains Joe-Warren.  “Jacob can be easily led. Rich is a good friend to Jacob, but he’s been taking them down the wrong path.”

    Though when Jacob decides to throw a party,  it’s Rich who questions the wisdom of doing such a foolish thing the night before his mum’s funeral and at her house.

    But Jacob’s hurt that his dad David – who owns the cottage – isn’t coming to the funeral and he doesn’t care.

    “Jacob’s been having difficulties being authentic with his emotions,” says Joe-Warren. “He’s got a lot on his plate. he’s not the best at communicating, it’s eating away at him. He is burning the candle at both ends. But he’s got a good heart.”

    Baby blues?

    Meanwhile, Sarah’s got worries of her own. She thinks she could be pregnant.

    How would Jacob react if Sarah is expecting his baby?

    “Obviously it would come as a shock,” Joe-Warren laughs. “I think if he asked himself if he’s ready to be a father he’d probably say no, but actually  it might be the turning point Jacob needs in his life. It might be the kick Jacob needs to get himself into a better position.”

    Could a baby encourage Jacob to ditch the booze and make a go of things with Sarah?

    “He’d really want to step up and do the things that he himself didn’t have growing up,” says Joe-Warren.

    More drama to come for Jacob in Emmerdale says Joe-Warren Plant

    It seems with Leyla’s death, Sarah’s possible pregnancy and Jacob’s medical training, Jacob’s got a lot to deal with. And he’s very isolated without his mum Leyla (played by Roxy Shahidi), or his dad David – who was played by Matthew Wolfenden – in the village.

    And it’s not easy for Joe-Warren either! He’s played Jacob, alongside Roxy and Matthew since he was a child. He’s been in the show for 15 years – more than half his life.

    “Now Matthew and Roxy have gone it’s heartbreaking,” he admits. “But it’s allowed me to work with other people. People I don’t usually have scenes with. It’s been a breath of fresh air really. It’s nice to see what dynamics Jacob has with different characters as well. Rather than being the son of Leyla, it’s nice to play something different.”

    Luckily, there’s a family reunion on the horizon. “We’re due to go out for lunch very soon,” he says. “And me and Roxy went down to see Matthew in panto.”

    And Joe-Warren says there’s a lot more drama in store for Jacob. “There’s lots more coming up,” he teases.

    We can’t wait!

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight (Friday): Kim issued a threat to Joe after catching him out and more heartbreak for April

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight (Friday): Kim issued a threat to Joe after catching him out and more heartbreak for April

    In Emmerdale tonight, April Windsor returned to school, but she she was disheartened to hear some of her classmates talking about her.

    Elsewhere, it was Jacob’s birthday and he got emotional when he found a present his mum had purchased before she sadly died.

    Here is the full rundown of what happened in Emmerdale tonight (Friday, February 28).

    April went back to school

    Yesterday, April made the brave decision to go back to school. However, it wasn’t a successful day and April ended up leaving early after hearing two girls talking about her.

    While April was in a cubicle, two girls entered the toilet. One mentioned that April was back at school and referred to her as a “freak”.

    The girls continued to slag April off, saying she looked “dead rough” and “have you seen the state of her?”

    They also speculated about who the baby’s father was. “That’s what happens when you have a baby with someone on drugs,” said one of the girls, while the other girl said she had heard it was a mate of April’s dad.

    April was also referred to as a “slapper”, while one girl said: “My mum said it’s always the ones who make out they’re little miss perfect,” and called her a “silly cow”.

    All the while, April was upset in the cubicle listening in. Poor April. Once the girls left the toilets, April crept out too and left school. This caused Marlon and Rhona to worry that she’d run off again, but she soon returned home.

    It was Jacob’s birthday (Credit: ITV)

    Jacob struggled with his grief

    Sarah found Jacob Gallagher at Leyla’s office, where he apologised to her for shouting at her over Noah.

    It was also revealed to be Jacob’s birthday. He showed Sarah a present he’d found under his mum’s desk. Jacob opened it and became emotional to see it was an engraved stethoscope. 

    He also opened the card, which had the message: “Happy birthday to the best son in the universe, the best doctor in the world and the love of my life now and forever.”

    Later, in the pub, Jacob was struggling to work through his grief. Belle sat with him and spoke about what it was like when her mum died. Jacob soon decided that his mum wouldn’t want him wallowing on his own on his birthday.

    Dawn and Joe were caught in Emmerdale tonight

    Joe caught Lydia trying to go through his drawers. She pretended she was putting ironing away, but Joe knew she was lying.

    Later, Dawn continued to flirt with Joe, telling him everyone was out. But Joe pointed out that ‘Inspector Clueless’ was there, referring to Lydia.

    However, Joe didn’t need much persuading and he agreed to meet Dawn at the cottage. Lydia decided to follow him. She was shocked to see him kissing Dawn and took a photo – not so clueless after all.

    Joe returned to Home Farm later to find Billy. Billy confided that Dawn is always too busy for him lately. Joe appeared to have a conscience briefly as he told Billy he was sure it would all work out.

    After learning the truth from Lydia, Kim later spoke to Dawn, informing her that she loved Billy Fletcher for his decency and honesty that others don’t seem to share.

    Before Kim could go any further, Dawn was called away to her son. Kim decided to confront Joe instead, telling him she knows about Dawn. She told him that Dawn is vulnerable, but his response was simply to say Dawn needed an escape because Billy is boring.

    Kim threatened to tell Billy and kick Joe out if Joe doesn’t put a stop to it. But will he listen to her?

    Emmerdale spoilers: Jacob is spiralling out of control

    Jacob’s world has been shattered by his mum’s tragic death. Leyla was one of the victims of the devastating limo crash, which also claimed the life of her colleague, Suzy. Although Leyla managed to escape the vehicle before it sunk into the frozen lake, her injuries proved fatal. Jacob was working in A&E at the time Leyla was brought into hospital, but there was nothing he could do to save her.

    A couple of weeks on from his terrible loss, Jacob remains in a state of shock. He still blames Noah for Leyla’s death after Charity was forced to swerve the limo to avoid hitting him. Jacob has also thrown himself straight back into work, but is not coping. As things become too much the trainee doctor ends up suffering a panic attack while on shift.

    Later, Jacob turns to alcohol to numb his pain as he downs drinks with Rich at the Hide. Belle and Laurel witness his worrying behaviour and fear Jacob is spiralling. Even Rich can see that his friend needs help, but will Jacob admit it?

    Sarah feels rejected by Jacob

    By the time Sarah arrives to speak to Jacob he’s in a complete state. She attempts to get through to her boyfriend, but he dismisses her concern and orders Sarah to stay away.

    Sarah is deeply wounded by Jacob’s rejection and it soon becomes clear why as she nervously eyes up an unopened pregnancy test in her bag. But she decides not to tell Jacob about their maybe baby, realising he’s already got enough to deal with.

    Next day, it’s time for the locals to say an emotional farewell to one of their own. As they gather together for the funeral, over at Jacobs Fold, Sarah is preparing to find out if she’s in the family way.

    As Leyla’s funeral gets underway she tries to find the right moment to tell Jacob about the baby, but he declares he’s talked out before walking away.

    Feeling completely alone and scared, Sarah carries on suffering in silence. What will she do?

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Jacob was heartbroken over Leyla’s death and Amy’s life is in danger

    Emmerdale aired a truly emotional episode tonight as Jacob Gallagher discovered his mum had died, while Liam and Amy’s lives are also in danger.

    Away from the hospital, Cain confessed all to Moira about his fling with Ruby.

    Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday February 19.

    Jacob was heartbroken over mum’s death

    The hospital was chaotic as the victims of the crash were brought in. Jacob, who was on duty at the time, was initially unaware that his mum was one of those involved in the accident.

    But he soon run into Charity, who was checking on Noah. Charity told him what had happened, with Jacob rushing off in search of Leyla.

    He then came across Kerry and Amy, before finding Chas and Liam. With each meeting, it became clear that Leyla was the person the paramedic had described as “dead on arrival”.

    Jacob soon found a doctor standing over his mum’s body. He shouted, “Mum can you hear me? She’s still warm. Why are you just stood there? You should be trying to save her.”

    In emotional scenes, Jacob broke down as he told the doctor: “You don’t know how tough she is. She wouldn’t leave me. She wouldn’t leave her son. You’re not going, I’m not letting you.”

    The doctor told Jacob that Leyla was gone, but he tried to resuscitate her anyway. “You’re supposed to save people, right? Help me bring her back,” he cried.

    Later, seemingly accepting that Leyla had gone, Jacob sat with his mum as he told her he was sorry that she had to die alone. “You’re too much of the life and soul to ever be on your own. I hope you know that,” he told her. Sarah soon arrived to comfort Jacob, as he broke down once again. Our hearts, sob!

    Amy’s life in danger in Emmerdale tonight

    Despite having a suspected broken foot, Kerry insisted on being with her daughter.

    Kerry was told that her daughter Amy Barton had severe hypothermia from being submerged under water for so long. Kerry asked if they could turn the heat up, but was informed by the doctor that they had to warm her up gradually otherwise it would put too much stress on her body.

    Later, Amy’s husband Matty arrived at the hospital and joined Kerry at Amy’s side where they were eager for Amy to wake up.

    There were more emotional moments as Matty told an unconscious Amy: “We need you to hurry up and come back to us, all right? And Kyle. We all need you so much. I’m gonna put my foot down over this one.”

    But there were scary scenes at the end of the episodes, when the machines started to flatline and Amy’s body started to shake. Doctors rushed in, as a flashback showed Amy in the water with the mystery body again.

    Chas was hopeful about Liam (Credit: ITV)

    Chas wants to marry Liam

    Liam Cavanagh was disorientated following the crash and tonight Chas was told that he had to go for a scan because his suspected head injury was worse than it looked.

    The doctor said that Liam’s injury explained the changes in his behaviour and speech. Chas said it sounded bad, with the doctor confirming that it could be.

    She was adamant he’d pull through though and told the doctor: “He’s a doctor by the way, so you can be straight with him. You know, when he comes round, which he will do.”

    Later, Chas reiterated her belief that Liam would be OK to Charity, telling her: “Don’t ‘oh babe’ me OK? Because he’s going to be fine. And I’m going to get to give him my answer OK? I am. Because I’m gonna tell him that I do want to marry him.”

    Oh we do hope so, we want a Liam and Chas wedding.

    Charity felt guilty in Emmerdale tonight

    After checking in on Noah, the realisation of what had happened hit Charity.

    When Mack arrived at the hospital, she asked him: “What is the matter with me Mack? Why do I keep killing people?” We have to admit, she does have quite the track record.

    She later echoed these thoughts to Chas. “I was driving. Two people are dead because of me!” Will Charity face any punishment?

    Cain told Moira everything (Credit: ITV)

    Cain told Moira the truth

    After Caleb outed Cain for sleeping with Ruby, Cain knew he had to tell Moira before someone else did.

    As he told her what happened, Moira made him repeat some of the details – such as the fact that she had been having an operation at the time. We don’t think there is any coming back from this for Cain.

    Cain apologised for being “spineless”and told his wife: “I knew straightaway it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.” And he’s made a lot of those…

    In order to stop Moira from storming round to see Ruby, Cain ended up telling Moira all about Anthony’s death and the subsequent cover-up.

    It didn’t fend her off though as she rocked up at Ruby’s house anyway, where she said a classic line: “Sorry, Ruby, I’m not your husband. Then again, neither is Cain.”

    Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight

    Vanessa got emotional as she started to grieve for Suzy, who was the first casualty of the limo crash.

    “Been sat here trying to remember the last thing I said to Suzy. Why can’t I remember? I didn’t know that all the stuff we did was for the last time,” she told Tracy, before saying: “I don’t know what I’m gonna do without her.”
