Emmerdale tonight saw the DNA results arrived, but Ruby didn’t get the chance to read them before Caleb came home. And speaking of Caleb, his behaviour was seriously below par tonight and he needs to pull his socks up.
Elsewhere, Joe let Noah down, but it’s clear he’s plotting something – and we have our suspicions over what.
Here’s everything that went down in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday January 14.
Ruby had to hide the results when Caleb came home (Credit: ITV)
Ruby’s results arrived in Emmerdale tonight
Ruby was worried about her relationship with Steph, and Caleb encouraged her to make an effort with Anthony to impress Steph – and make everyone’s lives easier. Caleb told her to get over it. Here’s a tip, Caleb, notice how distressed your wife is over her dad and find out if there’s more to it.
Caleb went to the hospital and confided in Cain how irritated her was by Ruby. He whinged how she was being so difficult and seems firmly Team Anthony.
We can tell you one thing, we are absolutely not Team Caleb right now, that’s for sure (although obviously we desperately want him to be the dad).
Ruby later got the DNA results delivered, but Caleb arrived home before she could read them. He actually apologised for pushing her to forgive Anthony. Still not impressed with you, Caleb, apology or not.

Joe was plotting in Emmerdale tonight
Joe let Noah down over the Leeds tickets after Ross’ warning. Noah was disappointed. Charity was not disappointed.
Kim was also disappointed in Joe’s behaviour and wanted to know what was going on. Joe gave her some guff about being strategic and she told him she was impressed. Joe then commented he is “pretty sure I’ll get what I want” before he popped some more pills. Is what he wants one of Noah’s organs to save his life?
Marlon and Ross both want the same thing: April home safe (Credit: ITV)
Marlon teamed up with Ross
Hitting the streets of Leeds again, Marlon was handing out more flyers. Rhona meanwhile was struggling. She wants to know who gave the Hotten Courier the inside scoop on her past. She wondered if it was Vanessa.
Rhona admitted she was angry with April for putting them through this. Vanessa encouraged her to offload her troubles and get some sleep.
Out in Leeds, Marlon chased a girl down and pushed the man she was with over. It wasn’t April and then he saw the bloke was Ross. Ross confessed he had been looking for April every day. Marlon was not happy about it because he blamed Ross for April running away. However the men buried the hatchet and decided to search for her together. But it was soon clear they had a mountain to climb.
Nurse Wendy has seriously messed up this time (Credit: ITV)
Wendy’s the blabbermouth
Wendy looked very suspicious as she heard Ella and Vanessa discussing the Rhona article. Later Wendy was cornered by the journalist in the pub – she’s the one who’s revealed the info. Apparently it was just a chat and the journo has twisted things.
And now the journalist is blackmailing her, threatening to write about Wendy’s own past in order to get herself a story. Wendy has to bring her another story to stop it happening. So who will she turn on next?
Moira and Cain are ready for whatever life throws at them (Credit: ITV)
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Moira was brushing her lucisious locks and knocked her surgery scar, it made her realise what she’s got to face ahead. Cain promised to support her. However, it was clear Moira was worried about the radiotherapy, asking if she might turn into the Hulk.
Back at home after the treatment Cain wrapped her up in cotton wool (aka a duvet) and looked after her, but something didn’t feel right to Moira – is she on to his deceit?

With Ross and Joe both being back in Emmerdale, fans have begged for more face offs between the pair.
Ross Barton arrived back in the Dales in October as he was revealed to be Billy’s opponent in an illegal boxing match. Meanwhile, Joe Tate rocked up on Christmas Eve as part of Will and Peter’s plot to bring down Kim.
During their previous stints in the village, the two men had a few run ins. Fans are delighted that this history is being revisited and are eager to see more of it.

Ross v Joe in Emmerdale
In Monday’s episode, Ross attempted to intimidate Joe in a bid to get him to stay away from Noah.
During their previous stints in the Dales, Ross was the victim of an acid attack that was meant for Joe. Something that Ross is often keen to remind Joe of.
The face off in Monday’s episode saw Ross lie in wait in Joe’s bedroom at Home Farm. When Joe threatened to report Ross for trespassing, Ross was quick to respond: “See if you can dial 999 before I smash your teeth in.”
Ross then called Joe a “smug little coward” and accused him of living his best life while he has had to deal with surgery and skin grafts following the attack.
After Joe sarcastically responded, “I’m glad it all worked out for you,” Ross grabbed Joe’s shirt and warned Joe to stay away from Noah like Charity had instructed.
Joe insisted he didn’t take orders from Ross. But Ross was quick to go back to Joe’s teeth as he told him: “You do now. Unless you wanna spend the rest of your evening picking your teeth up off the floor.”
Ross of course got the last word as he told Joe that Noah was a Dingle, not a Tate.
Viewers want more Ross and Joe scenes (Credit: ITV)
Fans call for more battles
Viewers loved the bedroom scene between Ross and Joe and have called for more interactions between the pair.
Underneath a picture of Joe and Ross on the official Emmerdale X account, fans made their feelings clear, with one writing: “More of this please,” accompanied by the praying hands emoji. A second fan added: “Absolutely love that these two are back.”
Over on Instagram, fans also couldn’t get enough of Ross v Joe, with a third fan calling it a “Clash of the titans”.
A fourth fan said: “Loved that,” while many others tried to pick their team. “Team Ross always,” said a fifth fan alongside heart emojis. Another fan responded that they were “Team Joe” and wanted Ross to stop blaming Joe for the acid attack.
With the shared history between the pair and strong personalities, viewers are likely to get their wish for more, and we can’t wait!

Since arriving back in Emmerdale on Christmas Eve, Joe Tate has been struggling with his health. Now fans have predicted that he is after half-brother Noah Dingle’s kidney.
Joe returned to the Dales over Christmas as part of Will and Peter’s plot to bring Kim Tate down. However things took an unusual turn when Joe started being nice to Kim and she invited him to live at Home Farm.
Joe has since been seen taking tablets and struggling to breathe, and now viewers believe they have worked out why Joe is back and what he wants.

What’s wrong with Joe Tate in Emmerdale?
Joe Tate arrived back in Emmerdale over Christmas following six years away. At first it seemed he was the same scheming person as before and was back to seek revenge on former step-mum Kim.
However, he has since made amends with Kim and made himself at home at Home Farm. But fans are concerned that there is something wrong with Joe, with some even speculating that he returned to the village to die.
Upon his return, Joe was seen in a room looking unwell. He appeared to be in pain and was shown rummaging through his bag before removing a packet of pills.
Since then, there have been moments where Joe has appeared to be struggling and he also asked Kim and Dawn for painkillers for a really bad headache.

Joe wants Noah’s kidney, fans predict
Recent scenes have seen Joe try to build bridges with half-brother Noah. Noah was angry at Joe for previously making him believe he was dead. But Joe has been trying to get back into Noah’s good books by offering him football tickets.
Fans believe Joe is after something, though, with one writing on X: “Watch it Noah. He’s after a kidney. Or bone marrow.”
A second fan wrote: “Can only think Joe has a vested interest in reconnecting with Noah, as he’s in need of a transplant and he was looking for likely items that may carry Noah’s DNA to check if he’s a match.”
Over on Instagram, a third fan agreed, writing: “Think Joe does have a kidney problem and is looking for a donor (Noah). He was seen holding his side in the beginning of the episode tonight.”
“I think he definitely needs a donor for some health issue and Noah is his only option,” said a fourth viewer, with another adding: “Yeah, Joe is trying to bribe him.”

Next week, Emmerdale spoilers show Dawn prepare to tell Billy the truth about her and Joe. But will she back out?
Since Joe Tate came back to Emmerdale, fans have been eager to know exactly what he has planned. And within a few episodes fans were already predicting an affair with Dawn.
Joe has been very helpful for both Kim and Dawn since his Christmas Day return. Which has us all very suspicious as it’s not the Joe Tate we remember.

Will Dawn tell Billy?
Later, Billy gets back from the hospital with Evan after attending his first outpatient chemotherapy appointment. This causes Dawn’s guilt to get even bigger, knowing what she was up to while they were at the hospital.
She makes the decision to come clean to her husband about everything. But as she takes a deep breath ready to confess, will something stop her? And was her night with Joe a one-time thing? Fans have already slammed the cheating plot as ‘predictable’.
For a while Dawn and Billy have been annoying viewers. The last few months have been very turbulent for the couple. From Billy’s involvement in the illegal fight ring to him being against their Home Farm return. Could the couple make it through a cheating scandal? Or is it the end of another Emmerdale couple?

Last year saw the return of two popular characters to Emmerdale, as Ross and Joe made their way back. The two share some interesting history, too.
Ross Barton first arrived in Emmerdale in 2013. He left in 2018, before returning six years later.
Meanwhile, Joe Tate appeared in Emmerdale from his birth back in 1995. He left alongside his aunt Zoe in 2005 before returning as an adult in 2017. He too left in 2018, only to return again six years later.
During their over-lapping time in the village Ross and Joe came to blows on numerous occasions. Here we take a look at the history between the pair and why they’re not each other’s biggest cheerleaders.

History with Debbie
Ross has a complicated history with Debbie Dingle. The two started having an affair while Debbie was engaged to Ross’ brother Pete.
Although Debbie ended the affair, Ross and Debbie continued to have a connection and she later asked him to move in.
Debbie left the village for a while, but upon her return, Ross once again attempted to start things up with her. However, this time she declined.
Meanwhile, Joe Tate arrived back in Emmerdale using the name Tom Waterhouse. ‘Tom’ seduced Debbie and gifted her a Bentley. He also bought Jacob’s Fold for her and her children Sarah and Jack to live in.
He later told Debbie the truth – that he was really Joseph Tate. Joe informed Debbie that she was just collateral damage in his bid for revenge against Charity, who he blamed for driving his dad Chris to suicide.

History with Charity
The two men are also linked via Charity Dingle. After marrying Chris Tate in 2001, Charity became Joe’s stepmother.
After discovering that Charity was having an affair with Cain Dingle, he chucked her out. Knowing he only had months to live due to an incurable brain tumour, Chris poisoned himself in order to try and frame Charity for his murder.
Following Chris’s death, Charity went on to give birth to his son – Noah, making him Joe’s half-brother. When Joe returned in 2017, he still held a grudge and attempted to get revenge on Charity.
Ross, meanwhile, had a one night stand with Charity which resulted in the birth of Moses. Upon his return to the village last year, Ross made a move on Charity, proving he still has a soft spot for her.

Acid attack
After Joe left Debbie jobless and homeless, Ross agreed to help Debbie. He agreed to act as a double agent and got himself a job as Joe’s driver.
However, when Joe discovered his duplicity, he fired Ross. Ross then stole one of Joe’s cars and drove back home. But he was unaware that Debbie had asked drug dealer Simon to mess Joe up.

Epic showdown in Emmerdale between Ross and Joe
Ross was convinced that Joe was behind the acid attack and vowed to get revenge. He took Graham Foster hostage and once Joe arrived, Ross told him he had a gun with a single bullet loaded – but he didn’t know when it would fire.
Ross then preceded to play his own version of Russian Roulette. Every time Joe refused to confess to throwing acid at Ross, Ross pulled the trigger.
In a bid to protect Debbie, Joe eventually confessed to the crime. However, a scuffle broke out and the men were horrified when they realised Debbie had walked in and been shot.
As Joe and Ross argued over who loved Debbie more, she was rushed to hospital and fortunately survived.

Ross and Joe are back in Emmerdale village
In 2024, Ross arrived back in Emmerdale first as part of Billy’s illegal boxing storyline. While Joe arrived on Christmas Eve when it was revealed he was behind the plan to get revenge on Kim Tate.
Charity enlists Ross to put the scares on Joe. Ross’ threats obviously work and Joe backs out of taking Noah to a football match. But this is unlikely to be the end of it…

In Emmerdale spoilers, Ross Barton threatens Joe Tate after Charity grows worried about how close he is growing to Noah. This comes following Joe’s unexpected return to the village – quickly making himself back at home and determined to build bridges with his family.
Noah is, of course, Joe’s half-brother. The pair share a father in the late Chris Tate, but haven’t had much of a relationship, between Joe’s scheming and his lengthy absence from the village. All that is set to change, however, as Joe attempts to build bridges with Noah by offering an ostentatious gift.
Perturbed by Joe’s attempts to worm his way back into Noah’s life, Charity demands that Ross have a word. But how will Joe react when Ross attempts to bully him out of seeing Noah again?

Dramatic comebacks of iconic characters is what all Emmerdale fans live for. Recently, we’ve been treated to the return of Kim’s nemesis Joe Tate – who’s back in the village after a six-year absence.
Joe was unveiled as the mastermind behind Will and Peter’s plot to bring down Kim, and we can’t wait to see what other wicked tricks he’s got up his sleeve.
His perfectly staged return has also got us thinking about the other Emmerdale comebacks that really hit the mark. Here are six characters we were delighted to see back on our screens…
Kim rose from the dead (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Best Emmerdale comebacks includes Kim Tate
Kim is the queen of the comeback, and one in particular has gone down in Emmerdale history.
It was 1997 when Kim did a disappearing act following the death of her lover Dave Glover. She paid a lookalike to drive her car around the village to make it look as if she was still around. But then the woman was found dead behind the wheel and Frank was charged with ‘Kim’s murder’.
Kim made a spectacular return and confronted Frank in the living room at Home Farm. The shock of seeing her back from the dead caused him to suffer a fatal heart attack. Instead of ringing for an ambulance, Kim just stood over and watched Frank die.
Once she was sure he was gone, Kim calmly pulled out her make-up compact, powdered her nose, then used the mirror to check Frank had stopped breathing. Oh, and she ended up receiving half of Home Farm in Frank’s will. What an icon!
Aaron returned to Emmerdale and found love with Robert (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Aaron Dingle
There was a lot of hype surrounding Danny Miller’s return to Emmerdale in 2014.
After two years away from the soap, would the award-winning actor be able to recapture the magic he’d brought to the role of Aaron first time round? As it turned out, yes!
Aaron returned to stop his best mate Adam getting involved in a robbery with Ross Barton and Donna Windsor. That particular plot was pretty forgettable, but what was to follow was certainly not.
The Emmerdale writers had decided it was time for Aaron to have a new love interest. And just weeks after his comeback, the moody mechanic shared that first forbidden kiss with Robert Sugden. And with that Robron was born!

Robert Sugden makes the list for best Emmerdale comebacks
Robert’s return to Emmerdale in 2014 was another triumph!
The legacy character had been away for five years when the soap announced his return. It was confirmed the role of Robert had been recast, with actor Ryan Hawley taking over from Karl Davies.
Within weeks it was hard to imagine anyone but Ryan portraying Robert. The character’s addictive love affair with Aaron led to one of the most popular partnerships in all of Soapland.
Charity has always lived life in the fast lane (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Charity Dingle
In 2015 Charity was sentenced to two years in prison for perverting the course of justice. She was released after a year, but when Cain and Moira went to pick her up, they discovered she’d already left.
As it turned out the crafty minx was straight back to her old tricks. Moments after leaving the clink, Charity went on the rob and stole a red Ferrari from a nearby dealership. She took it for a spin, but disaster struck enroute when Charity ploughed the vehicle into a field and got stuck in the mud.
Later that day, Cain and Moira spotted the stolen Ferrari. They were gobsmacked when Charity stepped out, declaring she couldn’t come back from prison with nothing! Moira dealt with the situation by taking the car back to the dealership, while the police were hot on their heels.
But the shocks kept on coming when Charity then entered The Woolpack and declared she’d bought Diane Sugden’s half of the pub! She then blackmailed former lover Ross Barton into coughing up the cash for the purchase.

Ross Barton
The long-awaited return of the Barton bad boy was one of our 2024 highlights.
Ross was a favourite amongst the fans during his first stint in the Dales and always at the centre of the drama. When news of his return was announced, actor Michael Parr, teased there would be fireworks for his character. And he wasn’t wrong!
During his time away, Ross had turned his hand to bareknuckle boxing and was unveiled as Billy Fletcher’s opponent. Strutting in to whoops and cheers from the crowd, Ross ripped off his sleeveless hoodie to show a rather impressive six pack.
Now that’s how to make an entrance!
All eyes were on Tina when she showed up at Zak’s funeral (Credit: ITV)
Tina Dingle
Zak Dingle’s funeral on Emmerdale was full of surprises – the biggest one being the comeback of his long lost daughter, Tina.
The character, who was previously played by Jacqueline Pirie, hadn’t been seen in the Dales for 28 years. So you can imagine everyone’s shock when she rocked up at Zak’s graveside. Belle didn’t even recognise her half-sister, which is hardly surprising seeing as they’d never met.
Now played by Brassic star Samantha Power, Tina claimed she was back to pay her respects. But there was an ulterior motive to her return. After causing carnage at the funeral, which resulted in her being carted off by the police, Tina tried to lay claim to Zak’s will. Then came the bombshell that she was Vinny’s real mum, a secret which she tried to blackmail Mandy with.
She may have wreaked havoc amongst the Dingles, but Tina Mark Two did not get a positive reaction from the fans. They took to social media to voice their disappointment, with some saying the recast was an insult to the original actress.
Samantha has shared she’d be up for Tina coming back to cause more mischief, so let’s see what 2025 has in store.

In Emmerdale tonight Joe Tate‘s condition is clearly worsening as he collapsed unable to breathe. Meanwhile, Dawn found it hard to keep her distance after their kiss – especially now he’s moved in!
Elsewhere, Sarah succumbed to Jacob’s apology and Rhona and Marlon were broken into.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Friday January 10.
Tension simmered between Dawn and Joe in Emmerdale tonight
It’s clear Dawn is struggling to resist Joe (Credit: ITV)
Dawn insisted she loves Billy
Dawn and Billy started yet another day apologising to each other. Honestly, what is the point of them? She then met up with Joe and told him they needed to keep quiet about the kiss. Joe was very understanding and told her it was all fine, no one would find out from him, but he flirtly told her not to pretend that they don’t know it happened. Dawn couldn’t help but smile. This isn’t over.
To cover things, she upped the romance stakes with Billy, telling him he was wonderful, treating him to lunch and holding his hand in public. Steady on their Dawn, this is too much niceness!
Something is very wrong with Joe as he struggled to breathe (Credit: ITV)
Joe collapsed
When they got home, Kim was back and waiting for Dawn. She had invited Joe to move in, Dawn was obviously uncomfortable and thought Joe had orchestrated it to be near her. Joe denied it and insisted he was a good guy who didn’t want to wreck her family. We’re really warming to him, what is going on?!
Later, Dawn was about to go into Joe’s room, but changed her mind. If she had gone in she would have found Joe collapsed against the bed in a very bad state, shaking and unable to breathe. So what is wrong with Joe?
Sarah forgave Jacob with a kiss (Credit: ITV)
Jacob won Sarah back
Jacob was being a sulky teen with Leyla (even though he’s in his 20s) over the Sarah situation. He then went to see Sarah at the garage and tried to explain himself. Sarah, understandably, didn’t want to know.
Jacob later found her again in the pub and this time Sarah did give him the time of day. Leyla had been fighting Jacob’s corner and Sarah kissed him as they decided to give it (another) go.
Rhona found a women in April’s room (Credit: ITV)
Marlon and Rhona broken in to in Emmerdale tonight
Marlon was still torturing himself over the trolling. Rhona went back to work for a few hours of normality and was presented with a cat who wasn’t actually ill. She was distracted by a commotion outside and the pet owner let herself into Rhona’s house, filming it.
The women went into April’s room and went through her stuff, livestreaming it. When Rhona caught her, she shoved the phone in her face questioning her and Rhona lost it, throwing them out.
Marlon rushed home, but they didn’t call the police, which is odd because we absolutely would have done.
Nicola and Laurel fawned over Anthony in the cafe in Emmerdale tonight (Credit: ITV)
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Arthur was sulking in the cafe over how hard his homework is. Anthony overheard and stepped to help as Laurel and Nicola swooned over him being a homework hero. Laurel couldn’t get her head out of the gutter when Nicola suggested Laurel ask Anthony how much he charged. But it turned out she just meant for tutoring. Although Laurel needn’t have looked so aghast, it’s not like she hasn’t slept with most men in the village!
They then arranged for him to tutor both Arthur and Angel and he told them he loved helping young people. Yuck, shivers down our spine.
