What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Heartbreaking news about April as Jacob suffered the worst first day ever

Emmerdale tonight aired a dramatic standalone episode featuring Jacob’s first day in A&E and he messed up big time when he thought April had been stabbed.

Meanwhile, Sarah and Moira both found themselves at the hospital too leaving Jacob with all sorts of fires to fight.

Here’s all that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday January 2, 2025.

Jacob made a huge mistake as ‘April’ was brought in in Emmerdale tonight

Jacob’s first day quickly went wrong

Jacob met Dr Todd on his first day in A&E as he excitedly posted selfies from outside the hospital.

Things soon took a dramatic turn when a teenage stab victim was brought in and April’s bank card and purse was found on her. Jacob immediately called Marlon, who raced to the hospital desperate for news.

Jacob was in serious trouble for calling the family, Dr Todd was fuming. Despite his protestations the doctor did not want to hear it, though she allowed Jacob into the relatives’ room when she spoke to Marlon and Rhona, revealing ‘April’s’ condition was serious.

Anna arrived and told them they thought it was a street robbery gone wrong, but she intimated that April could have started it, sparking Marlon’s anger once more.

The stab victim didn’t make it

Jacob was devastated as he watched Marlon breakdown when the news was delivered that ‘April’ didn’t make it. Marlon wanted to see the body and the police asked him to make a formal identification. Fortunately it was not April. And although that was a relief, it’s even more heartbreaking for Marlon as he knows his little girl is still out there and now without her bank card or purse. Plus the police think she could be a murderer.

Meanwhile, Henry, an old man who was waiting for treatment and had been talking to Jacob throughout the day, came to offer Jacob some comfort.

It didn’t help when Dr Todd went mad at Jacob for his actions. He was in serious trouble and had broken all sorts of protocals. His future now depends on whether Marlon and Rhona make a complaint against him. Marlon was forgiving of Jacob, but Rhona wanted answers and thought he’d acted irresponsibly.

Henry once again gave Jacob some advice and told him he was a natural and should keep believing in himself. But there was more upset for Jacob later in the day when he found Henry had died.

Distraught Jacob decided this just wasn’t for him and he couldn’t finish the shift. But Dr Todd gave him some much-needed praise and talked him round to come back inside.

There was some tough love for Sarah in Emmerdale tonight (Credit: ITV)

Sarah rushed to hospital in Emmerdale tonight

Jacob got a visit from one of his uni mates, but they were interrupted by Charity bringing a very drunk Sarah in. She’d been drinking all afternoon and collapsed as soon as she got into the waiting room. Springing into action, Jacob listened for her pulse and got her in the recovery position.

Dr Todd came along and praised Jacob for his quick-thinking and good work. Sarah was in a bad way, but she regained consciousness. It turned out she had got drunk over feeling rubbish because Jacob keeps going cold on her. Charity tried to bouy her up, but she didn’t want to hear it.

It was up to Jacob to give her some tough love. He told her about the waiting times and the amount of patients needing help and told her to try and do something with her life. She was taken aback, but will it have an affect?

Moira was freaking out over all she has to face (Credit: ITV)

Emotions ran high for Moira in Emmerdale tonight

Moira arrived with Cain for her appointment and discovered what her treatment plan will look like – six weeks of radiotherapy, five days a week. It will be daunting and gruelling. She needed to be fitted for her mask today and will start treatment on January 14. She can’t work and must rest the whole time.

Moira was forced to go in for her mask fitting alone, leaving her emotional. It left us feeling uneasy too seeing what patients undergoing this type of treatment have to go through.

Outside the room, Cain was getting angry with the vending machine, taking his frustration out on it. He encountered Henry and they began to bond. They chatted about Zak, hospitals and illnesses and clearly found a rapport. But then Cain was called away to tend to Sarah.

Moira came out of her fitting, tearful and upset, and even more so when Cain wasn’t there waiting. There is a long road ahead, but we know Moira is strong enough to make it through – or at least we hope she is…

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Rhona knows something happened with Laurel and Marlon (Credit: ITV)

Rhona found out about Laurel

As they were leaving the hospital after finding out it wasn’t April who had died, Marlon was resolute he was going out searching again. Rhona pleaded with him to rest and it caused a row. Marlon’s phone fell out. Rhona picked it up and saw a message from Laurel, thanking him for keeping quiet about them… Uh oh is all we can say to that one.

9 Emmerdale characters we want to see more of in 2025 – from John Sugden to PC Swirling

A brand new year in Emmerdale is always an exciting prospect and it’s got us thinking about the characters want to see more of in 2025.

There’s a real mixture of locals on our list. Some are legacy characters who have become a little redundant in recent years and need revitilising. Others are newcomers to the village that we’re keen to get to know more. And then there’s a non-resident who we’re desperate to become a permanent fixture.

Here are our nine folk who deserve more screen time next year…

We want to see a different side to John Sugden (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale characters we want to see in 2025: John Sugden

John Sugden’s arrival to the village in August 2024 came with high hopes. As the long lost son of an Emmerdale icon, this was the chance to put the Sugdens back on the map. But four months on and we’re still waiting for something – anything – exciting to happen.

Right now, John isn’t bringing an awful amount to Emmerdale. We get that he’s an enigma, and self-confessed lone wolf. We don’t even mind he’s moody and defensive. But he’s just so boring. Even John’s relationship with Aaron feels like it’s going through the motions. If you compare it to the passion of Robron, there’s no energy or spark.

But there has to be more to John than what we’ve been shown so far. That explanation he gave Aaron about Aidan Moore being his lost love felt too neat for our liking. If you ask us he’s lying and we want to know why. Is this guy even John Sugden?!

We’re hoping Emmerdale are going to solve the mystery and give us a reason to invest in John as a character. Otherwise he might as well get back in that campervan and carry on driving.

Vic is being wasted as a character (Credit: ITV)

Victoria Sugden

While we’re on the subject of Sugdens, isn’t it time poor Victoria had a decent storyline? She’s barely on screen these days, and when she does pop up it’s normally to interfere in other folks’ business.

If you look past her being a nosey old nag, Vic is an important character in Emmerdale’s history. She’s one of its longest-serving residents and has lived in the village since she was born.

What we’d like is 2025 is to see Victoria lighten up a bit (okay, a lot) and get a life of her own. Perhaps an exciting new career opportunity or how about bring back her ex-husband Adam Barton? They made a great couple and we think he’d be lovely with her little Harry.

PC Swirling is popular amongst the fans (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale characters we want to see in 2025: PC Swirling

Fan favourite PC Swirling has been policing the Dales on and off for 20 years. We think that kind of loyal service should be rewarded. So how about making him a permanent character? We think he would be a marvelous addition.

The local copper recently showed viewers his softer side after arresting Cain Dingle for assault. Sensing Cain was troubled, Swirling got him to open up about Moira’s brain tumour diagnosis and shared he’d been through similar heartache with his aunt. And remember how he turned up to pay his respects at Zak’s funeral? He’s clearly a good egg.

Emmerdale could make more use of Swirling by moving him into the village. He could bring Mrs Swirling with him too, if she exists. We’d also love to see him teaming up with a few of the locals, particularly Kim Tate.

We would like to see Dawn smile in 2025 (Credit: ITV)

Dawn Fletcher

The past 12 months have not been kind to Dawn. She’s had to cope with baby Evan’s cancer, Will and Rose’s toxic war and now her marriage to Billy is in crisis following his ongoing involvement in illegal boxing. Would a happier 2025 be too much to ask?

Ever since Dawn arrived in the Dales six years ago she’s been blighted by bad luck and misery. But we would really like the chance to see a lighter, more bubbly side to her character.

Dawn’s got all the makings to be a brilliant barmaid behind The Woolpack bar. And we’d love to see her make friends with some of the fellow mums in the village, perhaps have a long overdue girly night out?

Caleb’s character is confusing (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale characters we want to see in 2025: Caleb Miligan

Ruby’s character development has been one of the greatest triumphs of 2024, but Caleb remains something of a frustrating mystery. One minute he’s hell bent on toppling Kim Tate’s empire. Next, it’s all been forgotten about.

Just who is the real Caleb? Is he and out and out lying cheat and scoundrel? Or does have actually have a moral compass?

Next year we might get to find out as two secrets threaten to cause carnage. The first being Ruby’s betrayal with Cain. Even though Caleb’s repeatedly cheated on her, would he forgive Ruby for sleeping with his own brother?

And then of course, there’s Anthony’s abuse of Ruby and the question of whether Caleb isn’t actually Steph’s father. This revelation is going to destroy Caleb. And we wouldn’t be surprised if Caleb tried to put Anthony in the grave before the cancer finishes him off.

Gabby has gone under the radar (Credit: ITV)

Gabby Thomas

Where is Gabby these days? She’s gone completely under the radar since getting together with Vinny and we’d like her back.

The couple still appear to be in the honeymoon period and are proving the doubters wrong. But do they have what it takes to go the distance? 2025 will give us that answer.

Gabby now deserves a prominent storyline of her own. Will she end up getting drawn into the drama at Home Farm? Kim is going to need someone in her corner, and who better than her canny protegee? Gabs has learnt from the best and has the ability to take anyone on.

There are tough times ahead for Jacob (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale characters we want to see in 2025: Jacob Gallagher

Emmerdale has confirmed Jacob will be taking centre stage in a gripping new plot for 2025. And it’s about time too!

A special standalone episode will follow the medical student as he’s pushed to his limits during the first day working in a busy A&E department. We’ve long been fans of actor Joe Warren-Plant and think this is going to be his time to shine.

As well embarking on a tough new career, Jacob is set to start a romance with long-time friend Sarah Sugden. It’s surprising the writers have waited so long to put these two together as they really suit one another.

Also, we suspect Jacob is going to be involved in mum Leyla’s departure from the village. So it looks as if we’ll be seeing a lot of him in the next few weeks. Hurrah!

Ross has been up to no good again (Credit: ITV)

Ross Barton

Mike Parr must be one of the busiest actors in soap right now, he’s barely been off our screen. Not that we’re complaining – we’d like a little less of Ross’s predictable bad boy antics.

The moments we’ve warmed to Ross most are the scenes he’s shared with April Windsor. Because of their shared history, their bond feels genuine and we like how Ross has become a stepfather figure/confidant for the troubled teen. Plus it’s always a delight to see the brilliant Amelia Flanagan (aka April) being given a meatier storyline.

But what we’d really like in 2025 is find out more about those six years Ross spent in Liverpool with his late girlfriend Rebecca White and her son Seb. What really happened to split them up? And did Ross have anything to do with Bex’s untimely passing? Let’s fill in the gaps and delve a little deeper.

Steph’s life is set to implode (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale characters we want to see in 2025: Steph Miligan

The Miligans are the family to watch as we go into 2025, and Steph in particular.

We really like what we’ve seen of the newcomer so far. She’s calculating, uncompromising, feisty and fearless – basically her mum’s mini me. But her whole world could be about to come crashing down.

Like Caleb, Steph is still in the dark over the abuse Ruby suffered at the hands of Anthony. And we’re yet to discover whether Steph’s biological father is in fact her grandad, who she idolises. If the truth does out, everything Steph has ever known would be shattered in an instant.

Might Steph team up with Caleb to take down evil Anthony? Or exact her own revenge on the perverted OAP?

Jacob Gallagher in Emmerdale: Secret identity, abuse horror, and a forbidden romance

Jacob Gallagher in Emmerdale has been part of village life since he was young lad.

Having grown up before viewers eyes, Jacob‘s had an eventful life. He’s endured family dramas, been groomed by his teacher and had an affair with his dad’s ex-girlfriend.

Born on February 28, 2003, Jacob is the biological son of Leyla Harding and Justin Gallagher. Jacob was conceived after Leyla had an affair with Justin, who was her sister Alicia’s husband.

He was adopted by Alicia who, unable to conceive, raised him as her own.

Jacob considers Alicia’s former husband, David Metcalfe, to be his dad, and refers to him as that.

He has two half-siblings, Amba and Theo Metcalfe, who no longer live in the Dales.

Jacob excelled at school and is currently in higher education studying to be a doctor.

Who plays Jacob Gallagher in Emmerdale?

Jacob Gallagher in Emmerdale is played by British actor Joe-Warren Plant. He was born on April 12, 2002, and raised in Poulton-le-Fylde by parents Warren and Steph Plant.

Joe-Warren became a student at Blackpool’s Scream Theatre School when he was four-years-old. The actor then joined the Emmerdale cast aged eight and was introduced as part of a new family.

As a youngster, Joe-Warren balanced his filming commitments with studying at Baines School in his home town.

In 2021, Joe-Warren took a six month break from Emmerdale to appear on Dancing on Ice.

Jacob’s arrival in Emmerdale

Jacob and Alicia arrived in the village in 2010. He was seven-years-old, but still had no idea his Auntie Leyla was actually his mum.

Alicia began dating David Metcalfe, who Jacob grew to love like a real father. In 2013, Jacob discovered Alicia wasn’t his birth mum and ran away for the night.

The truth about Leyla left Jacob angry and confused with the world, but he eventually adapted.

Bullying hell

Jacob has had an on/off friendship with local lad Noah Dingle. Noah made Jacob’s life hell in 2014 by waging a bullying campaign against him.

The nasty lad forced Jacob to vandalise Bernice Blackstock’s beauty salon and steal money from the church. Jacob got caught red-handed, but admitted to Alicia and David that Noah had forced him to do it.

The couple informed Noah’s mum, Charity Dingle, who punished her son. Jacob and Noah eventually made up and continued to be mates.

Jacob’s dramatic exit

Jacob’s world was turned upside down in 2015 after learning Alicia had been sexually assaulted by unhinged Lachlan White. In an act of revenge, Jacob trashed Home Farm.

Traumatised Alicia decided to leave the village and took Jacob to live with her in Portugal. David stayed put, and he and Jacob lost touch for a while.

A year later, Jacob sneaked back to Emmerdale without telling Alicia, but David and Leyla convinced her to let him stay.

Everything was rosy until David discovered he had testicular cancer. Too scared to tell Jacob the truth, he banished the teen back to Portugal.

Jacob was back again soon enough and was hurt to discover David had lied to him about his illness. However, he was persuaded by David’s girlfriend Tracy Shankley to stick around and help his dad. David went on to make a full recovery.

Abuse hell

Another dark period in Jacob’s life was when he fell victim to predatory Maya Stepney. She was one of his secondary school teachers and they began dating. Maya also happened to be in a relationship with David by this point.

Maya groomed Jacob and they began a secret relationship, at her request. When Jacob turned 16, Maya took his virginity.

Their affair was rumbled by Jacob’s ex Liv Flaherty, who tried to blackmail Maya for Â£10,000.

The truth all came out when Priya Sharma spied Jacob and Maya kissing outside a nightclub in Hotten and informed Leyla. Maya and Jacob ran away, but the police caught up with her and arrested her.

Still believing the love he and Maya had was real, it took Jacob a long while to realise he’d been abused.

Another shock was in store when Jacob and David found a baby boy on their doorstep on Christmas Day 2019. A note revealed the tot was Maya’s son, and Jacob feared he could be the father.

A DNA test later confirmed the child was David’s, and he was named Theo.

Jacob and Victoria promised it was love, but it lasted about five minutes (Credit: ITV)

A messy love triangle

After Maya, Jacob had a one-night stand with classmate Leanna Cavanagh. He was devastated when she was murdered by Meena Jutla.

Jacob’s next romantic interest caused a storm in the village. He fell in love with Victoria Sugden, who happened to be his dad’s ex-girlfriend and nine years his senior.

After confessing their feelings for one another, the unlikely couple began a secret affair. But to make matters even more complicated, David had decided he still loved Vic and wanted her back.

When David discovered Jacob had won her heart he was sickened. Unable to forgive what he perceived to be a massive betrayal, David fled the village, leaving Jacob wracked with guilt.

Sadly the romance with Victoria wasn’t to be and she dumped him, leaving Jacob heartbroken.

Leyla to die in Jacob special A&E episode? The signs are worrying

Emmerdale is set to air a special Jacob A&E episode, but will this spell the end for his mum Leyla Harding?

With Jacob ready to be pushed to his limits during an hour long episode in January, he’s set to be tested both ‘professionally and personally.’

But, could this special episode spell the end for soap favourite Leyla? We hope not!

Emmerdale fan theory: Leyla to die in Jacob special episode?

New spoilers reveal that Jacob will have a whole hour-long episode dedicated to his first day on work placement in A&E. This will see him deal with life-threatening scenarios.

Villagers are also set to be affected. But, fans have now theorised that this episode will mark the end for Leyla.

One fan reacted to the special episode announcement on X and wrote: “Leylaâ€™s death looms. I’m broken.”

Another person wondered: “Will Leyla come in on a stretcher?”

A third fan had really thought this scenario through and shared: “Leyla will arrive on a stretcher and there will be a flashback episode which shows us her getting murdered by the drug dealer.”

Everything we know about Leyla’s ‘death’

It has been reported that Roxy Shahidi will soon bow out of Emmerdale and will go out with a bang as her character Leyla is ‘killed off.’

It’s unclear exactly how Leyla will die but this special episode seems like a rather worrying sign that Leyla could meet her end as the New Year arrives… what with Jacob reappearing out of nowhere and being given an hour-long episode solely dedicated to him. A coincidence? Hmmm…

Emmerdale has also said that Jacob will be affected ‘personally’ during the episode. Producer Sophie Roper also teased: “Jacob will encounter some challenging situations that also affect some of our Emmerdale villagers.”

But, will Leyla be one of them? Is this the episode where she sadly dies? We’re not ready…

Emmerdale to air special A&E episode for Jacob

With Jacob currently studying medicine at university whilst also sticking around in the village, he’s about to start his work placement in A&E as the new year comes around.

And, the soap is dedicating a whole hour episode to following him on his journey. This will see him start his first day at the hospital.

This episode will see Jacob’s limits get tested. He’ll be involved in helping save the lives of patients in need.

But, will this all be too much for Jacob to handle? Or, will he come out of this test stronger than before?

Joe Warren-Plant shares thoughts on upcoming Jacob scenes

Actor Joe Warren-Plant has now revealed his thoughts on the upcoming episode, sharing: “When I met with our producer Sophie, she told me about this hour-long episode dedicated to Jacobâ€™s first day of placement in A&E. I was hit with all these emotions.

“Knowing how many people have this high pressure job for real gave me the pressure to really knuckle down and get it right. Tackling this storyline scared me at first, but I feel honoured to know they trusted me enough to tell it. That means such a lot and I feel very honoured.”

Soap producer Sophie Roper also said: “When Jacob first embarked on his aspirations of having a medical degree we knew at some point we wanted to show a day in his life. In this episode we step away from our usual environs of the village and head to the hospital.

“This episode takes place entirely on our purpose built hospital set. Accident and Emergency is a place many of our characters end up in, but seldom by choice.Â As the episode unfolds, Jacob will encounter some challenging situations that also affect some of our Emmerdale villagers, pushing Jacob to his limits both professionally and personally.”

But, which villagers may end up in hospital? With Jacob’s mum Leyla’s death being reported, could we see her die whilst Jacob is on placement?
