    Laurel and Charles are sneaking around in Emmerdale spoilers

    Laurel and Charles’s passionate fling has taken them, and us, by surprise. Up until recently they were nothing more than neighbours, but that all changed after a row over the church harvest festival of all things!

    Tensions flared when Laurel unveiled her plans for the event and Charles deemed them too modern for a church setting. Laurel went ahead regardless and Charles was furious at not being listened to.

    The pair wound up in a furious quarrel at Woodbine Cottage. But in the heat of the moment, passion took over and Laurel ended up in bed with the local vicar. Deja-vu!

    Meanwhile, Laurel’s estranged hubby Jai and Charles’s former love Manpreet got talking and decided they wanted to try and win their exes back. Manpreet arrived at Woodbine ready to declare her feelings and almost caught Charles and Laurel in the act!

    Will they be so lucky second time around?

    Arthur catches Laurel and Charles in the act

    Nosey Nicola picks up on the tension between Charles and Laurel and wants to know what’s going on between them. She confronts Laurel, who admits they slept together, but it was a one-off. But it’s clear Laurel is torn when Nicola questions why the fling is over.

    Afterwards, Laurel meets up with Charles to talk about what happened, and they both agree to call it a day. However, temptation proves too powerful to resist and the lusty duo start snogging again.

    This time, they’re caught out when Arthur suddenly walks in and witnesses their passion. Embarrassed, Laurel pleads with her son not to tell anyone what he saw, through fear of it getting back to Jai.

    Jai is heartbroken to discover the truth

    Secrets don’t stay secrets in the village for long, as Laurel soon discovers when Arthur lets slip about her encounter with Charles. The lad drops the bombshell in the middle of The Woolpack, which is packed full of punters.

    Everyone is stunned, and no one more so than Jai, who is standing right near Arthur when he spills the beans.

    Jai recently confided in Charles that he was still in love with Laurel and regretted their split. So how will he react to the news that they’ve jumped into bed together? Are Charles and Laurel going to find themselves in Jai’s firing line for their ‘betrayal’?

    4 Spoilers for tonight, Wednesday September 18: Will goes crawling to Caleb after his mystery blackmailer ups the ante, and Arthur continues to give Jai the silent treatment

    In Emmerdale spoilers for Wednesday September 18, Will’s under pressure as his mystery blackmailer ups the stakes. Not only do they want £50k, but they want it now! Back into a corner, Will is forced to go to Caleb for help.

    And elsewhere in the village, Jai feels defeated when Arthur continues to ignore him.

    There’s no way out for Will in Emmerdale spoilers

    1. Will’s stalker strikes again

    Sorry to break it to you, but the Will blackmailer saga is STILL going. Kim continues to be our prime suspect, because who else would go to so much trouble?

    But whoever this mystery tormentor is, they’re not giving up. They want money – and lots of it – in exchange for their silence about Will’s little fling with Rose.

    And the bad news for Will is that the stakes are about to be raised again!

    2. Will goes to Caleb for help

    Already riddled with regret and desperation, Will has no idea how to get out of the pickle he’s in. And he goes into proper panic mode when the blackmailer ups their demand to £50k.

    There’s no way Will has that kind of money at his disposal. But he knows there’s one man in the village who does.

    Will is forced to go crawling to Caleb and asks if he’ll give him a loan in exchange for his shares in Home James Haulage. Caleb can sense Will’s desperation, but will he agree to his business proposition?

    3. Will’s blackmailer is in a hurry

    Caleb is surprised by Will’s offer, but agrees to give him the money he needs.

    Having secured the loan, Will is able to breathe a sigh of relief. He starts looking to the future and makes big promises to Kim. But Will’s good mood doesn’t last long when his phone pings with a new message from his blackmailer.

    They want payment and aren’t prepared to wait a moment longer.

    4. Arthur rejects Jai’s olive branch

    Jai wants to make amends with stepson Arthur after their recent falling out.

    The pair exchanged cross words after Arthur warned Jai to back down in his war against estranged wife, Laurel. Jai was making a dastardly bid for half of Mulberry Cottage, but Arthur gave him a much-needed reality check.

    Now having seen the error of his ways (sort of), Jai is keen to start making things right. He turns to local vicar Charles for advice, who urges him to do whatever it takes to maintain a relationship with Arthur.

    Buoyed by his support, Jai approaches Arthur in the village with a peace offering. But the lad just walks past without saying a word, leaving Jai feeling defeated. Serves him right, we say.

    Emmerdale spoilers: Laurel and Charles give into passion

    In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Laurel and Charles’s spat turns steamy as the unlikely pair wind up in bed together. But will their passionate encounter be a one-off or the start of a new romance?

    Laurel and Charles are back on the market in Emmerdale spoilers

    You’d think Laurel would want to give men a wide berth after everything Jai has put her through.

    The couple’s year-long marriage ended badly after Laurel discovered the extent of Jai’s lies and manipulation. She filed for divorce, but Jai didn’t take it well and has been making Laurel’s life a misery ever since.

    Jai has mellowed slightly since Laurel’s lad Arthur returned to the village and gave him what for. He backed down on his bid to take half of Mulberry Cottage, and it’s clear that underneath all the nastiness, Jai still loves Laurel. But would she take him back after everything he’s done? We doubt it!

    Charles is also back in the singles club following his split with local GP Manpreet. The vicar called time on their relationship after struggling with trust issues. Charles was also in a bad place following the tragic death of his son, Ethan. But is it really all over between him and Manpreet?

    Charles and Laurel get it on!

    Autumn is in the air, and Laurel has big ideas for the upcoming village harvest festival. Unfortunately they don’t go down well with Charles, or his opinionated mum, Claudette.

    The pair are concerned Laurel’s vision is too modern for their traditional church setting and make their disapproval clear. But Laurel has had enough of being told what to do and decides to crack on regardless.

    Later, Charles is livid when he sees Laurel has gone against his wishes. He loses his temper and lays into Laurel. But as she argues back, loathing suddenly turns to lust and the pair start kissing.

    Crikey! We didn’t see that one coming. Although, Laurel was married to the late Reverend Ashley Thomas, so she clearly has a thing for a men of the cloth.

    Laurel and Charles get caught in the act?

    Their unexpected attraction takes both Laurel and Charles by surprise. After exchanging some spikey banter, the pair give into their desires and head upstairs to the bedroom.

    Across the village and unaware their exes are getting jiggy, Manpreet and Jai share a heart-to-heart. Jai reveals he wants Laurel back so Manpreet encourages him to be brave and admit his feelings. This also prompts Manpreet to privately consider doing the same with Charles.

    After thinking things through, Manpreet decides what she had with Charles is still worth fighting for. She makes her way over to Woodbine ready to win him back. Will she find him in bed with Laurel?

    Emmerdale spoilers: Arthur goes on a date – but, will Jai interfere?

    Arthur enjoys a date with newcomer Lewis in next week’s Emmerdale spoilers. The lads hit it off and enjoy a few beers together, but will meddling Jai scupper his stepson’s chance for romance?

    Jai has made an enemy of Arthur in Emmerdale spoilers

    Arthur hates Jai’s guts right now, and who can blame him after the way he’s treated poor Laurel? While Arthur was busy travelling Australia earlier this year, Jai was making Laurel’s life a misery.

    The Sharma’s lying and scheming caused Laurel to suffer a heart attack, which then led to the breakdown of their marriage. Laurel initiated the split, having had enough of her husband’s behaviour. But Jai did not take the rejection well and has been making Laurel pay ever since.

    Determined that Laurel wouldn’t get a penny, Jai signed his properties over to Caleb (Big Mistake, Huge!) He even threatened to take half of Laurel’s beloved Mulberry Cottage. But his wicked plan derailed when Arthur arrived home.

    After hearing what his mum had been through, Arthur confronted Jai and warned if he sold their family home, he would regret it. Arthur’s words clearly rattled Jai’s cage and he told Laurel she could keep Mulberry. He does have a heart after all!

    Now Jai wants to try and win back Arthur’s respect, but it’s not going to be an easy task.

    Arthur rejects Jai’s olive branch

    As Jai broods over his estrangement from Arthur, Charles tries to offer some words of support. The local vicar urges Jai to do whatever it takes to maintain a relationship with his stepson.

    Jai is bolstered by Charles’s advice and goes to Arthur with a peace offering. But it’s no use. Arthur is still angry over what Jai did to his family and continues to ignore him.

    Better luck next time, eh?

    The next day, Arthur has a date with newcomer, Lewis. Arthur came out as gay back in 2022, but things have been quiet on the love life front following his break-up with ex-boyfriend, Marshall.

    Arthur invites Lewis over to Mulberry and there’s nervous energy between the boys as they open a beer, unsure what to do next.  But their secret is rumbled when Jai later spies Arthur and Lewis stealthily disposing of their empty beer cans.

    Feeling awkward, Lewis makes his exit, while Arthur panics whether Jai will tell Laurel he’s been underage drinking. Will Jai use the situation to his advantage and force Arthur to call a truce?

  • Review of the week: Dawn’s insufferable, Cain’s useless and Mack’s still alive

    Review of the week: Dawn’s insufferable, Cain’s useless and Mack’s still alive

    This Emmerdale review might be a bit prickly, as that’s exactly how we’re feeling after this week’s episodes!

    Because everyone’s just been SO annoying.

    Whether it’s sanctimonious Dawn, stubborn Cain, mouthy Mack, or gullible Jai, hardly anyone has impressed us this week.

    Here’s who we’ve got beef with in this week’s Emmerdale review.

    Emmerdale: Worried Dawn delivers news to Will in the kitchen at Home Farm

    Dawn’s whining – again

    We were very disappointed in Will Taylor when he gave into temptation and slept with ex-wife, Rose. So it’s a bit of surprise to all of us that we’re now feeling a little bit sorry for him. A teeny, tiny bit.

    Because the flashbacks explaining what happened with Rose just made everything way more complicated. Here’s the story as far as we understand it: As part of her deal with Ruby, Rose (accidentally) drugged her addict daughter.

    Will and Kim told her to leave the village, trying to protect Dawn from the truth about her mother. Dawn happened to drive past, took her mum to the airport, and pretended she was missing.

    Now Dawn’s angry with Will for thinking Kim might have killed the mum she knew was alive, and for not contacting Rose directly when she lied that Evan needed a bone marrow transplant. In short, she’s annoyed about two things that didn’t actually happen.

    And it’s a bit odd to pretend she doesn’t know how far Will and Kim are prepared to go to protect their family – has Dawn forgotten Malone? The man she killed?

    It seems Dawn has indeed had a Moira-style memory lapse when it comes to her own guilty conscience. She’s ignoring the fact that Will covered up her crime, and Kim stepped in and sorted it all out, getting rid of the body when it looked like it was about to be discovered.

    So frankly, we think it’s a bit late for Dawn to start getting all holier than thou about the morals of her dad and step-mum.  (We are still cross with Will about the whole Rose thing, mind you.)

    Cain’s a big let down in our Emmerdale review

    Moira’s health issues worsened this week – her lapses are becoming more frequent, she had a seizure and slept in the barn, she’s forgetting just about everything, and her behaviour is wildly unpredictable. It’s obvious to just about everyone from her sister-in-law Chas to her young son Isaac that something’s not right.

    But apparently, not to her husband Cain. Nope. He’s just too busy stomping around, throwing accusations in Moira’s face and, as Chas said, rolling his eyes, to consider his wife could be really poorly. Even when she told him she was ill, he didn’t take her seriously.

    We’re worried Moira’s in trouble and things could take a terrifying turn for the worse – but will Cain even notice? He’s really let poor Moira down this time.

    Mack’s mouthing off

    We are constantly bewildered by Mackenzie Boyd. He’s like an overgrown toddler in a lumberjack shirt. His ridiculous feud with John Sugden is exhausting and him marching round the village telling everyone it was John who let the bull out, made us roll our eyes, Cain-style.

    We’re just disappointed that despite his dramatic collapse and him being carted off in an ambulance, Mack seems to be unscathed by his bull adventure. Just as he was was totally fine after being stabbed or plunging over a cliff in a car, or any of the other disasters he’s experienced.

    Ah well, maybe next time, eh?

    Jai’s an idiot

    Almost everyone in the village has warned Jai not to trust Caleb. But apparently, Jai is still *checks notes* trusting Caleb.

    Well. Sort of.

    After an intervention from Arthur, Jai did tell Laurel he’s not going to claim half her house. But he’s in it up to his neck with Mr Miligan and we can’t wait to see him discover just how untrustworthy Caleb can really be.

    Unexpected treats

    It’s not all bad though – there were some joyful moments in this week’s episodes. Gabby and Vinny are super cute together and we’re hoping they stay the distance. We’re glad to see Arthur back and looking out for his mum.

    We loved John’s moment of being a protective big brother to Victoria, and while we’re on the subject of John – we are surprisingly and unexpectedly loving his fling with Aaron. It’s nice to see both those big grumpy lads cracking a smile for once!

    Emmerdale tonight: Mack’s alive, Jai actually has somewhat of a heart, and John and Aaron got it on

    So, it turns out that Mack didn’t die after his bull incident and remained very much alive in Emmerdale tonight as he returned to the village.

    Elsewhere, Jai seemed to come to his senses and attempted to make peace with Laurel (finally!)

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Friday, August 30.

    Mack made a quick recovery

    Last night (Thursday, August 29), Mack had a run in with a bull and ended up falling off a barn gate. He insisted that he was fine but later collapsed at home and was rushed to hospital.

    Well, tonight, Mack’s fate was revealed as he was seen sitting up and talking away in his hospital bed.

    It seemed that the blow to his head hadn’t altered his personality in any way (unfortunately) as he remained set on getting revenge on John as soon as he returned back home.

    Things were made rather awks though when Moira admitted that she may’ve actually been to blame for the whole bull thing. Not John.

    Aaron and John got it on

    With Aaron trying to be there for his best mate Mack, Vic landed him right in it. She revealed that she saw Aaron and John having a rather cosy moment together in the barn.

    Mack was livid that Aaron had succumb to John’s charms instead of defending him. Later though, he went to apologise to Aaron for his childish behaviour.

    Happy to have patched things up and with his bromance still in tact, Mack headed off happy now that Aaron had reassured him that nothing was going on between him and John as John was leaving (he was basically forced out of his job by Moira.)

    Little did Mack know was that John was hiding in Aaron’s bedroom the whole time, ready to continue where they left off before they were ever so rudely interrupted by Aaron’s super annoying bestie.

    Jai made peace

    It turns out Jai really wasn’t a fan of Arthur’s new bad boy personality transplant, with Arthur actually scaring him (we still don’t know how!)

    Despite Caleb encouraging Jai to rinse Laurel of every penny so that they could move forward with their business agreement, Jai softened and announced to Laurel that he would no longer be after half of Mulberry Cottage. Phew. So, does this mean that Jai and Laurel are FINALLY going to stop acting like bickering teenagers and be civil?

    Emmerdale tonight: Tracy was jealous

    Tracy and Nate were thrilled that Frankie’s key worker had declared her such a superstar, with the little one even making them both bracelets.

    Happy to be getting along and co-parenting Frankie, Tracy suddenly felt a pang of jealousy emerge in her stomach as Nate rushed off to answer a mystery phone call. But, is Nate dating someone new?

    Jimmy backtracked

    Yesterday evening, Jimmy agreed to sell the Haulage to Caleb as Caleb made him a decent offer.

    After a chat with Will though, Jimmy backtracked and told Caleb that he’d had second thoughts.

    Caleb was surprisingly calm and collected about the whole thing (but inside we just know that he was seething!)

    Will feared his tormentor

    With Will making Jimmy aware of the threatening letter he received in a bouquet of roses last night, he started to wonder who was behind the threats.

    At first he considered Rose, but a little look at Lydia on her phone in The Hide had him second guessing everyone! Someone knows what Will did, but who?

  • Here’s why we’re totally Team Laurel amid Jai divorce dispute

    Here’s why we’re totally Team Laurel amid Jai divorce dispute

    The Emmerdale divorce between Laurel and Jai is currently playing out. And we’ve certainly taken sides.

    What was she ever thinking in saying ‘I do’ to him, without that sentence ending with ‘want to push him into a massive cow pat?’

    There are many, many reasons why we cannot understand how Jai wormed his way into marriage with Laurel. And here are just a few why we’re so glad she’s almost shot of him.

    What a snake (Credit: ITV)

    Jai just can’t be trusted

    A habitual liar, Jai only ever looks out for himself – and to line his pockets.

    Any of his shameful approaches to the division of assets as the former couple plan for their lives without each other demonstrate just how low he’s prepared to go to stash away his pennies.

    And even in the past week he’s been caught fibbing he was skint during a mediation session… and this comes despite making a few quid on her share purchase relating to The Hide!

    He’s also plotting with Caleb, who Jai is daft for turning to in the first place. Fingers crossed the two rogues will soon turn on each other.

    Additionally, amid Laurel and Jai being on-off on-off before they got hitched, she previously took him back in early 2022 after a break up relating to money.

    He’d taken a loan out in her name, saying he needed to pay off fines… and she let it go!

    Laurel smiles at Jai warmly

    He’s after her house!

    Of course, pilfering Jai has eyed up other assets belonging to Laurel, too, beyond that loan application.

    The sneaky so-and-so also wants to walk away with Laurel’s house – the home she and and her late husband Ashley lived in for years.

    Yes, she may have found ways to move on with her life after Ashley’s sad passing in 2018.

    But that house has been the foundations for Laurel’s life, and the site of so many important family memories, including where Gabby, Arthur, and Dotty have been raised.

    Put simply: Hands off Jai, Mulberry Cottage isn’t up for grabs.

    Jai’s at fault

    Furthermore, Jai’s being an absolute man-baby about the divorce in general – and particularly when it comes to property, as seen with Laurel’s home..

    However, not only has he also flogged off Holdgate Farm and Tenant’s Cottage in order to deny Laurel a share of the proceeds, let’s not forget who’s truly at fault for all of this domestic strife coming to a head in the first place.

    After all, it was Jai’s behaviour that’s left the couple on the rocks. Back in June, Laurel rumbled Jai after he was secretive about Amit Sharma’s true role in the death of Rishi Sharma.

    And ultimately, Jai wasn’t able to prevent Laurel realising something was up – and he admitted to torturing Amit, forcing him out of the village, and swiping his share of The Hop!

    It is hard to see what responsibility Laurel could bear for any of this, including Jai’s unhinged conduct. So he should take his punishment – and a hefty dent in his assets – for lying to his missus in the first place.

    Laurel’s been through enough!

    It is also worth considering whether Jai may be attempting to kill Laurel off by wearing her down over time.

    Earlier this summer she had a heart attack, seemingly brought on by a row with Jai. Laurel collapsed after chucking him out, and was found struggling to breathe by Gabby.

    As she recovered in hospital, Laurel revealed to Suni Sharma how Jai had ruthlessly gone after shares in The Hop which he might have expected would come to him.

    Laurel also told Jai their marriage was over from her hospital bed. But it seemed to take a good while for him to process what she was saying. And accept they were done.

    Please, no more stress for Laurel – we don’t want a funeral happening… Well, not hers, anyway.

    Jai peers
    There’s no denying Jai is an absolute plonker in every way (Credit: ITV)

    Jai’s a plonker

    Set aside, just for a moment, everything that has gone on between Jai and Laurel during the course of their relationship.

    And now cast your mind back to when they weren’t involved, years ago. When she worked in the factory when she was really struggling with her addiction to alcohol. Jai wanted rid of Laurel, as he didn’t want an alcoholic in his workforce.

    Two questions beg: Why wasn’t Laurel straight on to HR? And why the heck didn’t this treatment pop up as a consideration ahead of them getting wed?

    And don’t think we’ve forgotten that cheap shot about Ashley that led to Laurel ending up in hospital, either…

    In tonight’s Emmerdale spoilers, Tracy gets jealous when she thinks Nate has got a new love interest. He sneaks off to take a phone call, and Tracy is sure he’s talking to another woman. But is there another explanation for Nate’s mysterious behaviour?

    Tracy and Nate reconcile in Emmerdale spoilers

    1. Tracy and Nate spend family time together

    Tracy and Nate are back on friendly terms after a difficult past few months.

    The exes had a bitter split earlier after Tracy had an affair with Nate’s uncle, Caleb. She fell head over heels for the smooth-talking villain and ended her marriage to be with him.

    But Tracy’s hopes of happiness were dashed when Caleb’s wife, Ruby, arrived to reclaim her man. Ruby outed Tracy and Caleb’s betrayal in the middle of Belle and Tom’s wedding. Caleb then went crawling back to his wife, but Nate wasn’t so forgiving. Tracy made an attempt to get their marriage back on track, but to no avail.

    The pair have continued to co-parent daughter, Frankie. But there’s still this sense of unfinished business between them.

  • A complete list of Caleb’s victims as he targets Will and Jimmy

    A complete list of Caleb’s victims as he targets Will and Jimmy

    Caleb Miligan arrived in Emmerdale at the end of 2022, with a big secret and a ruthless plan for revenge! His early plan for vengeance against Kim Tate – the woman he blames for killing Frank Tate – Kim’s former husband and the dad Caleb never knew – went wrong.

    But Caleb’s not giving up that easily. In his time in the village he’s taken out a few people as he pursues his various vendettas and plots.

    And now he’s got his eye on Jimmy and Will.

    So here’s a full list of Caleb’s victims in Emmerdale!

    Kim Tate

    Emmerdale viewers were shocked when it was revealed that Caleb’s dad was Frank Tate and he was out for revenge on Frank’s former wife, Kim.

    Caleb was determined to take Home Farm from Kim because he thought he was owed it. And he set about trying to destroy Kim.

    He befriended Kim, and charmed her into going into business with him, planning to fleece her – but Kim was one step ahead. She got wise to Caleb’s plan, and turned the tables.

    Gabby Thomas

    Poor Gabby fell head over heels for handsome, sweet, caring Manny, Nicky. But on their wedding day she discovered she was collateral damage in Caleb’s scheme to get Home Farm from Kim Tate.

    She was shocked when Nicky revealed he was gay and had only been pretending to love her in order to get his mitts on her money.

    Gabby’s heart was broken and Caleb claimed another victim.

    Nicky Miligan

    Poor Nicky was manipulated into working for his dad, wooing Gabby, and going along with his plot. He was furious when he found out Caleb had been lying to get him onside – though he eventually forgave his dad for that one. When his mum Ruby arrived in the village, Nicky was horrified by his parents’ behaviour. He left Emmerdale with their relationship on thin ice.

    Moira Dingle – another victim for Emmerdale Caleb

    Caleb was super helpful when it came to helping with Kyle’s court case, and he well and truly won Moira over with his commitment to the family.

    But behind the scenes, Caleb was busy sabotaging Moira’s business, hoping she’d sell the farm. She was heartbroken as she went crawling to Kim, begging her to buy the business. But not as heartbroken as she was when she found out it was Caleb who had been responsible!

    Nate and Tracy’s marriage

    Caleb’s steamy affair with married Tracy Robinson shocked the village – but it was her husband Nate who was most distraught! Even though Caleb and Tracy’s passion was short-lived, it led to the end of her marriage and heartache for poor Nate.

    Jai Sharma

    Caleb’s well and truly got his claws into Jai – and we’re pretty sure it’s not going to end well! Jai’s gone into business with Caleb, using him to hide his assets from ex-wife Laurel. But given that Caleb is one of the only people in the village less trustworthy than Jai, we reckon Mr Miligan’s about to claim another victim!

    Will Taylor

    Will’s vulnerable at the moment after the whole Rose hoo-hah. And let’s not forget, Rose arriving in the village was engineered by Ruby – Caleb’s wife – in an attempt to hit Kim where it hurts – in her heart!

    And now it seems Caleb’s after the Haulage yard too. Will’s definitely a Miligan victim!

    Jimmy King

    Jimmy’s struggling with bills after being fined over his drivers’ hours, and by HMRC over using red diesel illegally. Of course, both of those fines have been engineered by Emmerdale Caleb, who’s hoping to devalue the business enough that Jimmy’s desperate to sell. Has his plan worked? Is Jimmy yet another victim of Caleb’s vendetta?
