Amelia grew even stupider as Tom plotted against Belle and Zak isn’t well – everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight

We didn’t think it was possible, but in Emmerdale tonight Amelia got even stupider when she fell for Tom’s declaration of love. As she failed to question any of his lies (and her own make-up choices), she agreed to help him do anything. A promise that will undoubtedly end badly for Belle tomorrow night.Â

Elsewhere, Will and Kim’s divorce war raged on and news reached the village of Zak being unwell. Cain’s off to look after him, which could leave Belle very vulnerable indeed.

Here’s a catch-up on everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Amelia laid into Belle and Chas (Credit: ITV)

Belle made a decision as Amelia made a huge mistake

Belle has decided it’s time to go to the police. But Amelia overheard her and Chas having a random discussion and assumed it meant Cain was going to attack Tom, so she launched a tirade at them both. At this point she’s wearing so much make-up she could be auditioning for TOWIE, but that aside, she’s still annoying everyone – including us. Chas gave her both barrels back, which was long overdue, frankly.

Amelia then decided to move in with Amy and Kerry instead. Those two super-detectives have worked out she’s still in touch with Tom and want to do all they can to make her see sense.

Amelia then called Tom to meet her urgently. He wasn’t particularly nice to her and she wanted to come clean about being a couple and move in together. Tom turned nasty and told her he had enough on his plate and he needed peace and not nagging. Upset Amelia left, but has she seen his true colours at last?

Meanwhile, Amy went to visit Belle offering a listening ear. But also she wanted Belle to tell her what had happened between her and Tom to protect Amelia. Obviously Amelia wasn’t interested and was firm Belle was making it all up. Off she went to meet Tom again and accept his apologies without even blinking an overly made-up eyelid.

Of course Amelia told Tom Belle was going to the police and then melted when he told her he loved her. She agreed to help him with whatever he needed as he plotted to regain control and win again. Oh Amelia, you stupid, silly idiot.

Kim and Will are still at loggerheads (Credit: ITV)

The Kim and Will saga dragged on in Emmerdale tonight

The former couple were circling each other like wolves, with Kim shoving her high heel into his sandwich without him realising – ooh, now this really is serious stuff.

Ruby has taken Will and Kim’s split hard. Yes, you read that right, she is upset by it. Mainly because it’s brought up unhappy memories of families and so she does not want Caleb to get involved with Will.

Caleb however, needs Will’s help. He wants Jimmy’s share of the haulage yard now and Will to get it for him, but Jimmy wasn’t interested. Are you still awake? We’re struggling, to be honest.

Caleb and Will then faced off in the pub and we were still bored. Back at home, Will gave Kim a speech about something or other than made little sense to us, but seemed to rattle her. And so we wait for tomorrow, when this will no doubt continue.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

John was offered a job

Dr Liam was impressed by John’s medical knowledge in the pub and suggested he think about putting his training to use. He wants John to be a paramedic practitioner.

Of course Victoria had to stick her beak in and John got the wobbles. For some reason, John is still hanging around and keeps chatting to her. We’d have driven off in that stinky van weeks ago to get as far away from her as possible.

Zak isn’t well

Debbie has called to say Zak is not well. Cain has decided he’s going to go up to Scotland and help. He’s reluctant to leave Moira, but hasn’t really thought about abused sister Belle. With Cain out of the way, Tom feels he’s free to strike, which isn’t good.

And Tom aside, it looks like this could be the start of Zak’s farewell storyline. Pass us the tissues.

Laurel and Manpreet’s girl talk

Given they’ve never spoken before, Laurel and Manpreet are all of a sudden BFFs, discussing their sex lives in the cafe. Obviously the point of this is to make it all-the-more weird when Laurel sleeps with Charles later this week, but it was still a bit crowbarred in – and cringeworthy.

Emmerdale’s best – or worst – bad girls from Kim Tate to Meena Jutla!

Emmerdale’s bad girls are iconic! The soap has a long history of vindictive, manipulative, and often downright evil female villains!

In today’s episode of Emmerdale, Kim Tate played petty games with estranged husband Will as he made himself a sandwich. And while she was dropping his bread on the floor, in the background Billie Eilish was singing ‘Bad Girl’.

It was the perfect soundtrack for Kim, who is the quintessential Emmerdale bad girl! So we thought we’d round up the best of the rest.

Here are the baddest of Emmerdale’s bad girls!

Kim made husband Will dig his own grave (Credit: ITV)

Kim Tate: the finest of all Emmerdale’s bad girls!

Kim’s schemed, cheated, scammed, and watched her own husband die at her feet in her race to rule the village. She’s queen of Home Farm and somehow, despite the things she’s done, we’re still rooting for her! #TeamTate

Meena was the baddest bad girl of all (Credit: ITV)

Meena Jutla

When we said soem Emmerdale bad girls were proper evil, it was Meena Jutla we were thinking of.Â Meena was an iconic Dale serial killer with a bloodlust and body count that put her firmly into the Emmerdale legend category.

She killed Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker, and had already killed her best friend Nadine and her own father. Meena’s now safely behind bars. But we sort of wish she’d escape!

Charity has done all sorts (Credit: ITV)

Charity Dingle

Charity’s all about family now, but for a long time she was top of the scheming charts. She was determined to get rich and she wasn’t afraid to use her Dingle charms to get what she wanted.

She has made some very bad choices, got involved with some very bad men – and some that were just bad for her. But has she finally settled down with fourth husband Mackenzie Boyd? Only time will tell!

Ashley’s niece Jasmine turned out bad (Credit: ITV)

Jasmine Thomas

Jasmine arrived in Emmerdale to live with her uncle, Ashley, and his wife Laurel. But she was soon proving to be quite the handful. Jasmine embarked on a romance with best friend Debbie Dingle, only to be seduced by her much older dad, Cain, who got her pregnant.

But it was Jasmine’s determination to become an investigative reporter that really landed her in trouble. She got embroiled with bent copper Shane Doyle, and after her tried to rape her, she whacked him with a chair leg and killed him.

With the help of Debbie and Eli Dingle, she dumped the body in the lake. But of course Shane was found and Jasmine eventually went to prison for her crime.

Things were never boring when Kelly was around! (Credit: ITV)

Kelly Windsor: Emmerdale’s bad girls

Kelly Windsor was a troubled teenager who grew into a manipulative and wily woman. She had a string of unsuitable romances with men including her teacher, Tom Bainbridge, Chris Tate, Biff Fowler and her stepbrother Scott. She married sweet Roy Glover but wasn’t happy.

When Kelly returned to the village after some time away, she got pregnant by Jimmy King but said she’d had an abortion. Years later, Kelly gave Jimmy the news that she’d had his son, Elliot.

She even took advantage of Jimmy’s amnesia to pretend they were a couple. But Jimmy wised up and Kelly left the village – leaving Elliot behind.

Emma Barton caused the Hotten by-pass crash by shoving husband James into the traffic, while wearing her wedding dress (Credit: ITV)

Emma Barton: one of Emmerdale’s bad girls

Another iconic Emmerdale villain, Emma was brilliantly, terrifyingly, determined to bring her family back together. So determined, in fact, that she took advantage of estranged husband James being injured and kept him hostage at home.

It was Emma who caused the Hotton by-pass crash when she shoved that same husband off the road bridge and killed him. She also (accidentally) shot and killed her son Finn and was eventually finished off by Moira Dingle!

Sally’s campaign against Laurel ended in a dramatic balcony struggle! (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Sally Spode

Sally was a vicar’s wife who tried to get her claws into Ashley by, well, locking Laurel in the church and setting fire to it. She didn’t succeed in killing her love rival there or later in hospital when she considered smothering her with a pillow. Phew.

But she did jump out in front of Ashley’s car, kidnap Edna’s dog AND Angelica King, drugged Ashley to try to get him into bed, and lie that she was pregnant with his baby. Oh and end up in a dramatic balcony struggle with Laurel. That’s more than enough!

Maya Stepney groomed teenager Jacob Gallagher (Credit: ITV)

Maya Stepney

Another of the properly twisted Emmerdale bad girls, Maya Stepney groomed and seduced her teenage student and almost ‘stepson’ Jacob Gallagher.

Maya convinced Jacob that their relationship was true love, and that they could be tighter, but in reality she had manipulated Jacob and messed with his head. Eventually Maya admitted to what she’d done, she lost her job and went to jail.

John’s secret was revealed, Kim hit Will where it hurts and Lydia got emotional – here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight

Emmerdale tonight saw John’s secret revealed to viewers – and it wasn’t as exciting as we’d hoped. Sure, it was emotional, but it felt a bit flat.

Meanwhile, Kim took more revenge on Will and hit him where it hurt – literally and metaphorically.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday September 24.

Belle was supported by Lydia (Credit: ITV)

Lydia opened up to Belle

Belle was frantically searching for hidden cameras in the Dingle homestead. Lydia kept insisting Belle had evidence and encouraged her to go to the police.

Belle then asked Lydia for help – getting her to explain what it was like when she went to the police over Craig and her rape. But Belle was still unsure as they had dropped the charges in Lydia’s case and she felt no one would believe her over Tom. Lydia tried to convince Belle people will see through it as she has evidence. Is it enough to get Belle to go to the police, though?

The conversation and memories hit Lydia hard as she broke down in tears.

But later Lydia offered more comfort to thoughtful Belle telling her she had to decide what happened next. Will Belle finally report her abusive husband?

Victoria now knows John’s Aidan Moore secret (Credit: ITV)

John’s secret fell a bit flat in Emmerdale tonight

Victoria apologised to John for her frankly weird and obsessive behaviour, but it still didn’t stop her prying.

John then finally gave in explained who Aidan Moore was. He was apparently his best mate and he died when they were serving in Afghanistan. He went into great detail about Aidan’s death and given he has refused to open up about anything at all, this all seemed quite strange.

John got pretty emotional (for him!) and broke down as he was telling the story. Not that we’re saying this didn’t happen, but surely there’s more to it? The fact this big secret that has been teased for some weeks was delivered right at the beginning of the episode and then not referenced again felt very flat. Hopefully this isn’t it. And if it is, what a waste.

Will was jealous (Credit: ITV)

Things weren’t going well for Will

Will broke the news to Jimmy Caleb is his new business partner. Jimmy was not happy in only the way Jimmy can’t be. Hearing the commotion, Dawn gave Will the time of day for 10 seconds, but then changed her mind and walked off again.

Will then went toe-to-toe with Kim again, who was claiming she’d slept with someone else last night as said man came down the stairs. How long are we going to have to deal with these two going back and forth? Much as we love Queen Kim Tate, this sort of tit-for-tat is going to get pretty boring, pretty quickly.

Will then may have made a mistake, threatening to have Kim killed in front of a witness. Has he just played right into her hands – can we feel another faked death coming on?!

He earned himself a punch from Kim’s bit of suit after calling her a ‘trollop past her sell-by date’. Kim did tend to Will’s wounds, though, and they even made jokes at each other. And Will admitted he was very jealous. Could she be thawing? Can they make it work and we can all forget about this nonsense storyline?

Not at the moment, because Kim fired back that he needed to move out. Sigh.

Kim then went to visit Dawn and apologised for what happened with Rose. She wanted to be part of Dawn’s family and be friends again. Dawn seemed much more forgiving of Kim than she does of her own dad. But is Kim on the level or is she trying to isolate Will from his family? Does she really mean it?

Will then decided to team up with Caleb to take Kim down. He promised to do anything – legal or illegal to “bring her to her knees” and “make her life a misery”. Will Caleb bite? And what does this mean for Kim? And once again, how much longer are they going to drag this out for?

Just get on with the romance already! (Credit: ITV)

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Charles and Claudette were still planning the Harvest Festival – let’s hope this also comes round quickly because it’s not the most riveting storyline.

Gail got involved, wanting to throw a disco in the village hall. Laurel was totally on board, Claudette was not. Modernising the church seems to be a long way off.

Laurel soon stormed off and Claudette decided she must be menopausal! But then Charles overheard Laurel being mean about his mum and it didn’t go down well.

We appreciate all of this is just a plot device to get Laurel and Charles together, but it all feels a bit forced and crowbarred in to give the characters something to do. Laurel hasn’t really been near the church for years, now all of a sudden she’s a dedicated parishioner who wants to improve attendance? Riiiiight.

Lydia Dingle and her terror at the hands of Craig Reed

Lydia Dingle in Emmerdale is the devoted, but no-nonsense wife of Sam, and the heart of the whole Dingle family.

But she’s been through a lot in her time in the village, most recently a brutal rape at the hands of her former boyfriend.

Here’s the lowdown on everything that happened.

Lydia struggled to process what had happened to her (Credit: ITV)

Lydia’s childhood

Lydia grew up in a children’s home, where she met Craig Reed. Lydia – who at the time was called Jenny Finn – got pregnant by Craig. She gave birth alone in the bathroom to a stillborn baby boy. Lydia wrapped her son in a jumper and buried him on what would become the site of Hotten Academy.

More than 30 years later, Craig came back into Lydia’s life. They reconnected at a jobs fair in the Hide, and became friends. Lydia told Craig about their baby – who she’d named Toby – and took him to his final resting place to pay his respects.

Craig pinned Lydia down and raped her (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale: Lydia is sexually assaulted

After that, Lydia and Craig spent more time together and she even started working for him. But Craig was developing an unhealthy obsession with Lydia and had convinced himself she felt the same.

It all came to a head when one evening, in his office, Craig started to make a move on Lydia. When she turned him down, he pinned her down and raped her.

Lydia eventually told Sam what had happened (Credit: ITV)

The aftermath

It took Lydia a few days to really process what Craig had done – she even went back to work. Her family realised she was acting oddly, but didn’t know why.

Craig continued to torment Lydia, telling her they could make a life together, while befriending her family. When Lydia snapped, she went to the police and told them she wanted to report a rape. But she ended up rushing away before she gave any details.

When Lydia told husband Sam and the rest of the Dingles what had happened to her, they supported her as she went to the police and Craig was arrested.

But when the case against him was dropped, Lydia was devastated.

Kim was a great support to Lydia (Credit: ITV)

Craig’s death

After the case was dropped, Craig was found dead in a field, and the shocked Dingles gathered to piece together who was to blame.

As it turned out, Kim inadvertently caused Craig’s death. She came across him when out riding and though she told him to stay away from her horse, he spooked the nag and got kicked in the head. Cain Dingle saw what happened and helped Kim cover up the crime by setting the horse free and concocting a story that it had escaped.

The killing really tested Lydia’s friendship with Kim, and her relationship with the whole Dingle family, but she’s back where she belongs now, at Wishing Well Cottage.

Kim and Will are much better together, Emmerdale shouldn’t have split them up – here’s why

Kim and Will are well and truly over! Their slow-burn romance took a long time to get started and it’s fallen apart in a matter of days, and we’ve got to be honest, we’re disappointed.

The Taylor-Tates (or would it be Tate-Taylors? We can’t imagine Kim would want second billing!) were hardly love’s young dream. They’d both been round the block a few times separately and together when they finally tied the knot.

But that’s why we liked them – they knew each other’s flaws and they didn’t care. In fact, we suspect the flaws were one of the things that attracted them to one another.

And now we’re facing weeks of revenge and plotting as they try to out-do each other and we’re not looking forward to it.

Here’s why we think the couple are much better together!

Kim and Will are much better together! (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale: Kim and Will know each other’s secrets

Between them, Will and Kim have a LOT of secrets. But it seems they’ve been totally honest with one another (until Rose arrived, that is!). When Caleb turned up trying to fleece Kim of her worldly goods, it became obvious that Will knew all about Kim’s – ahem – toxic marriage to Frank and the way he died (for those of you too young to remember, he died at Kim’s feet as she watched).

And Kim, of course, knows all about what happened to DI Malone – at Dawn’s hands – and how his body was buried in the graveyard, until she made it go away.

Will was in on the plot when Kim faked her own death (Credit: ITV)

They’ve got each other’s backs

When Kim’s son Jamie was trying to poison his mother, Will and Kim weren’t actually together. In fact, it was Will who Jamie tried to frame for drugging his mum. But of course Kim found out – of course she did. And she set about taking the ultimate revenge.

With a bit of help from former lover Will, she set things up to look like she had died and Will had been arrested for her murder. Jamie was horrified, but not as horrified as he was when Kim strolled back into Home Farm and kicked him out!

They’re a formidable team

With both Will and Kim having a very flexible approach to morals and what’s right, they made an intimidating team. Never more so, in fact, when Dawn’s ex Alex – dad to both Clemmie and Lucas – showed up in the village.

Alex had showed up wanting access to the kids. Or actually, what he wanted was to get his grubby mitts on the money Dawn had inherited from Harriet Finch and he was using the kids as leverage.

Kim promised Dawn that she’d sort it, and she did! She and Will kidnapped Alex and held him hostage in the stables where they offered him cash to go away. Alex refused and the newly weds told him their offer would drop in value every day. So cold!

Of course the Home Farm pair came out on top in the end, with Alex scarpering and Dawn and Billy adopting Clemmie.

Kim and Will need to reunite in Emmerdale

It was a disaster as soon as this storyline got going – there was only one way it could end really. And while we love Queen Kim and her bad ways, this was not the way to bring her back. Emmerdale should have teamed them up and made them Queen and King of the Dales. What a missed opportunity!

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Victoria asked for ‘Moore’ and Will angered Kim… again

In Emmerdale tonight, Victoria grew suspicious of John and went snooping around… because that always turns out well.

Meanwhile, Will warned Kim he won’t go quietly in the divorce.

Also, Belle received a call to say her old house had been left in a mess so she went in with Lydia to investigate.

Hereâ€™s everything that went on in Emmerdale tonight, Monday September 23.

John caught Victoria in his van (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale tonight: Victoria snoops on John

Eager to learn more about her long lost brother, John, Victoria invited him to join her and Matty for lunch, telling him she had found some old family photos. However, during lunch, John was constantly distracted by his phone.

“Iâ€™m trying to tell you about my dead mum and you canâ€™t stop gawping at your phone,” Victoria snapped. She then took John’s phone and read his messages â€“ which is pretty unacceptable.

Considering this complete lack of respect for his privacy, John remained pretty calm. He asked for his phone back, but Victoria ignored him and asked why Aaron was messaging him “like that.” John left the pub, causing Victoria to fume that she was being kept in the dark by both John and Aaron.

Thank goodness for Matty, who told Victoria that they didn’t need her permission to talk to each other. Basically a polite way of telling her that she should probably mind her own business and keep her nosey beak out of it.

But of course she didn’t do that. She headed to John’s van. When he didn’t respond to her knocking, she opened the door and climbed in â€“ as you do. She had a good hunt around and found the dog tag with the name ‘Aidan Moore’ on. John returned to the van and was annoyed to find Victoria invading his privacy yet again.

When she said she just wanted him to be honest, John responded: “I wish I had never met you, so I want you to get out of my van and stay out of my life. Honest enough for you?”

While Victoria’s snooping is not OK, John is obviously hiding something. But what is it? And who is Aidan Moore?

Kim and Will have broken up (Credit: ITV)

Kim and Will: It’s war

Following the events of last week in which Kim was revealed to be her own husband’s blackmailer, things continued to be nasty between Will and Kim.

Kim caught Will at the stables, attempting to take her horses and sell them at an auction. “I seem to remember you put these nags in my name as a tax dodge,” Will sniped.

Kim reminded him he wouldn’t get very far without passports and paperwork, which she had locked in the safe. Kim underestimating Will was a popular theme in tonight’s episode and one that later came back to bite her.

She later had a meeting about the divorce and her assets where the financial advisor warned her that prenups weren’t as tight as you’d think and Will could attempt to go for half of everything (something Laurel and Jai know only too well). Kim was once again dismissive of this, claiming Will wouldn’t even have sought legal advice yet.

Later in the Woolpack, Kim was shocked to see Will doing business with Caleb â€“ selling his share of the Haulage yard no less. Kim sneered at Will, insisting he had sold the yard for less than it was worth and told him Caleb was playing him. Will hinted that the deal included something a little extra too…

Back at Home Farm, Kim had the shock of her life when she discovered exactly what that little extra was. Walking into her lounge, Kim saw Will casually sprawled on the sofa like nothing had happened. “If you want to talk to me you can call my brief,” Will told Kim.

Then came the killer blow when he informed her his brief was a pretty good one â€“ Caleb had hooked him up with his one, nicknamed Pitbull, which, let’s be honest, doesn’t sound like someone you’d want to be on the wrong side of.

Will had received some pretty good advice, that it wasn’t wise to leave the house as it weakens his case – “half of everything, he reckons,” Will smirked.

Kim was absolutely fuming with Will â€“ and probably with herself, for underestimating her husband â€“ but she still got the last word, telling him: “If you want a war, youâ€™ve got one. You will regret this because I never lose.” And, Kim’s right, this Queen never loses.

Belle and Lydia made a discovery (Credit: ITV)

Also in Emmerdale tonight

Belle received a call to say she’d missed the house inspection and the house was a mess. She said that as she didn’t live there anymore she didn’t realise she had to be there.

Later, she went back to the house. Lydia saw her waiting outside and went in with her. Once inside they stepped on something which they quickly realised was a camera and Tom must have dropped it on his way out when trying to hide the evidence.

Meanwhile, Laurel and Claudette spent the episode clashing, with Charles stuck in the middle. Laurel had some ideas for the Harvest Festival as well as ways in which Charles could update his sermons. Claudette was dismissive of them all.

Charles defended his mum. Laurel then told him that if he didn’t modernise, his mum would be the only one in the congregation. Has she given Charles food for thought?

As Kim and Will split, all of the breakups the village has seen so far this year

Makeups and breakups are part and parcel of soaps, and Emmerdale is no exception.

Last week, Kim Tate and Will Taylor joined the ever growing list of couples who have split after she ended their marriage due to him keeping the truth about his night with Rose from her.

In true Kim Tate style though, she didn’t simply break up with Will. No, she blackmailed him and then had him dig a grave â€“ as you do.

Only time will tell if they find their way back together. In the meantime, here are the other major Emmerdale couples who have fallen by the wayside this year…

Nate left the village alone (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale split: Tracy and Nate

Tracy and Nate split earlier this year after she had an affair with Caleb just months into their marriage.

The affair made Tracy realise that she didn’t love Nate and she told the poor guy that she hadn’t even been in love with him on their wedding day. How to kick a man when he is down â€“ you probably could have kept that bit to yourself, hey Tracy…

During the summer, it looked like a reunion might be on the cards and Tracy even agreed to her and Frankie joining Nate in Scotland, where he had received a job offer.

However, after Moira kissed Nate, his family got the wrong end of the stick and turned against him, leading him to leave for Scotland on his own. Though we never actually saw him leave…

Victoria and Jacob initially kept their relationship a secret (Credit: ITV)

Victoria and Jacob

Jacob and Victoria’s relationship initially started out as a secret because she understandably didn’t want people to know she was dating her ex boyfriend’s young son.

Once the relationship was out in the open, Jacob’s dad David left the village after feeling betrayed by his son and ex girlfriend.

The relationship came to an end this year when Jacob turned down a placement in Berlin in order to stay with Victoria. Following this, his mum Leyla accused Victoria of holding her son back.

Victoria agreed with Leyla’s assessment and decided to end things with Jacob, leaving him heartbroken as he begged her to reconsider.

Manpreet tried to get back with Charles (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale split: Charles and Manpreet

In the wake on his son Ethan’s death, Charles struggled to accept any support from his partner Manpreet and he called time on their relationship.

Charles’ mum Claudette tried to meddle and told Manpreet that there was still a chance for the pair. But with Charles struggling with trust issues, his mind was made up.

Despite the pair getting together in 2021, it was revealed that they’d actually known each other 15 years previously, but she left him at the alter on their wedding day.

Charles cruelly told Manpreet that he hadn’t trusted her since she left him at the alter 20 years ago. So why he got back together with her later and stayed with her for a few years is anybody’s guess…

Tom abused Belle (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale split: Belle and Tom

One break up we were all ecstatic about was that of Belle and Tom. Having been abusive to Belle for most of their relationship, we were all desperate for her to get the strength to walk away.

That finally happened recently with Belle telling Tom that he can’t control her any more.

During their marriage, Tom mentally tortured Belle. As well as keeping tabs on her every move, he locked her in the house, tried to turn her against her family and even abused her dog Piper in his sick plot.

However, despite the pair no longer being a couple, Tom has continued to try and hurt Belle. One twisted move saw him give Piper away and pretend she had died. It’s easy to see what his new girlfriend Amelia sees in him…

Laurel and Jai continued to work together following their split (Credit: ITV)

Laurel and Jai

Another couple fans weren’t too upset to see the end of was Jai and Laurel.

The couple went their separate ways earlier this year following their rows over Amit’s departure and Jai’s betrayal of his half-brother Suni.

The line was completely crossed when Jai insulted Laurel’s late husband Ashley, leaving Laurel feeling disgusted that she’d ever married Jai.

In the wake of their split, Jai has continued to be cruel to Laurel. So we think it’s safe to say that those two thankfully won’t be getting back together.

Amelia couldn’t forgive Noah (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale split: Noah and Amelia

This young couple split after Amelia determined that Noah was responsible for Samson being sent to jail.

After Noah admitted he was the one responsible for grassing up Samson, Amelia saw this as a betrayal â€“ given that Samson is the father of her young daughter.

Noah was eager to continue to be a part of young Esther’s life as he has been like a father figure to the girl â€“ even setting up a trust fund for her. But Amelia told him he needed to stay away, even cruelly telling him that Esther is young enough to forget about him.

Amelia has now moved on to abuser Tom, so she may soon come to regret letting Noah go.

Review of the week: Kim’s taking things too far, more Miligans in the offing, and Nate’s alive!

Our Emmerdale review this week is mostly just full of confusion. After the thrills and spills of last week’s barn fire, it’s been a bit quieter, a bit baffling, and we have to admit – a bit disappointing.

Here’s what’s been leaving us wanting in this week’s Emmerdale review.

Like a twisted game of Taskmaster, Kim’s revenge sent Will hunting through the woods for clues (Credit: ITV)

Kim’s terrible revenge

First up, we need to talk about Kim Tate and her overly elaborate revenge on cheating husband Will.

Because WHAT on earth, was that?

Just to recap. Will cheated with his ex, Rose and thought he’d got away with it. But unbeknownst to him, Kim had worked it all out.

In the meantime, Will got a mysterious message from a mysterious blackmailer, demanding Â£10k to keep his secret. He sold his precious watch – the one Kim had bought him as a wedding present – for the cash. But when he was on his way to the drop-off, he found out about the barn fire and went to help, getting injured in the process.

Anyhoo, that didn’t sit right with his blackmailer, who then upped the price to Â£50k and nicked Kim’s horse too. And then finally Kim herself vanished. A frantic Will had to follow strange instructions and the distant strains of Fleetwood Mac to find his kidnapped wife.

It was like some weird, twisted version of Taskmaster, as he was forced to dig a grave, spurred on by a recording of Kim’s voice shouting for help. And what did he uncover? A coffin with his own name on it. Seriously who has the time or the energy to set all that up?

Surprised? Nope.

Well, we were about to find out! Because the blackmailer appeared and what do you know? It was Kim all along! Hands up if you were surprised? No? Neither were we.

What we were surprised about, though, was the HUGE amount of effort Kim put into this ridiculous revenge plot. Buying a coffin with Will’s name on it, and burying it. Dressing a mannequin up as herself. Laying the trail for him to follow… the whole thing was ridiculously complicated, time-consuming, expensive and totally bonkers (and not in a good way!).

If we’re being honest, it was all very unlike Kim. Ms Tate is the mastermind behind a business empire. She is no fool.

She wanted to make Will pay, which is really no less than he deserves, the big wally. We get that.

But we reckon she’dÂ have done it in a cold, calculating Kim kind of way. Not this elaborate prank that served no purpose – Kim’s better than that!

More Miligans!

The biggest news of this week, though, was Caleb and Ruby talking about their daughter Stephanie! She was mentioned by Ruby’s dying mum, Helen, and then by Caleb and Ruby.

Obviously, we’re now desperate to meet her and to find out what they did that made her cut them off!

Ruby and Caleb are a great addition to Emmerdale (when Caleb’s not weirdly fixating on Kim that is) and we’re really enjoying finding out more about Ruby’s back story especially. Though we love Sharon Maughan and we’re sad we didn’t get to see Helen and Ruby together.

But like we said, now we’re eager to find out more about Stephanie and hopefully meet her too. In fact, we’re busy putting together a wishlist of actresses who could play her. Watch this space!

Nate’s alive!

One disappointment this week was finding out that Nate is alive! We didn’t wish him dead, but his exit seemed so brutal and unfair, we were convinced he was really another victim of the fire.

We pictured Cain calling his son, ready to apologise, only for the camera to focus on the phone ringing out as Nate lay unconscious nearby. We imagined his final hours – once someone (probably Mack, let’s be honest) had found him. Nate in a hospital bed, Cain and Tracy waiting to say sorry for the awful things they said. And then the long beep as his life slipped away… SOB!

But instead we got a half-hearted mention of him settling into his new life in Shetland. Is that really it?

Ruby’s got regrets, Will’s staying put and Moira’s made a big decision – here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight

Emmerdale tonight saw Moira make a big decision about her treatment for her brain tumour. She’d been adamant that she wasn’t going to have the surgery, but after the dramatic events of this week, she’s changed her mind.

Meanwhile, a battered Will returned to Home Farm, Arthur was giving Laurel a headache, and Ruby was having regrets about her family situation.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Friday September 20.

Will’s made some very bad decisions (Credit: ITV)

Bad Will hunting

Like a couple of mismatched detectives in a Sunday-night thriller, Lydia and Jimmy were off hunting for Will in the woods. As they tried to find Will using his phone tracker, Lydia took the opportunity to take a few digs at Jimmy’s support of his abusive nephew Tom (good work, Lyds). But her shade was interrupted when they came across Will, who’d crawled out of his grave.

Gazing at the grave with Will’s coffin inside and his exhausted, filthy mate, Jimmy came to the belated conclusion that the blackmailer meant business. As a detective, Jimmy makes a great lorry driver.

Will and Kim are over in Emmerdale tonight

As Will made it home, he confronted his unrepentant wife about what she’d done – and what he’d done with Rose.

The pair picked over the bones of their marriage, and Kim demanded Will sign the papers giving her back ownership of everything in his name. But Will refused. He told her bluntly they weren’t separating. Yeah, good luck with that, Will. Kim always gets her own way in the end.

And then he asked the question we’ve all been wanting to ask. Why didn’t Kim just ask him if he’d cheated? Why go to the lengths of pretending her horse had been stolen, or Kim was kidnapped?

But Kim had the answer ready – she said Will had proved she meant nothing to him. Ouch.

Will dug his heels in and refused to go. But when he admitted he’d signed over his life, or his share of the haulage yard at least, to Caleb, Kim wasn’t impressed. Though where else she thought he’d get Â£50k in a hurry we don’t know.

Still refusing to sign the paperwork, Will left. And Kim took off her wedding ring. Seems it’s really over!

Ruby was fretting over getting in touch with her daughter (Credit: ITV)

Family ties

Emotional Ruby begged Caleb to talk about Stephanie, revealing more about their relationship with the daughter they’d never mentioned before this week. Ruby said losing her mum had made her think of Steph. She said if she’d died in the fire, Stephanie wouldn’t have known how much she loves her, and she was tearful as she talked about her daughter.

But by the end of the episode, Ruby had decided not to call her daughter after all, meaning we’re going to have to wait a bit longer before Steph inevitably shows up in the village!

Is Arthur going off the rails? (Credit: ITV/ Composite EI)

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Jai made a move

Arthur was defiant after being caught drinking with the date he met online, lashing out at his mum and Jai. Laurel tried to calm him down and tell him she just worried about him, and that he was too young to be on dating apps.

With the air cleared between mum and son – almost – he warned Laurel that Jai was trying to worm his way back into the family. And he was proved right later when Jai made a move on Laurel – and she threw him out. Yay, Laurel!

Cain was pleased when Moira told him she is going to have the surgery (Credit: ITV)

Moira made a decision

Worried Moira was shocked when Cain admitted he’d told their boys how to call an ambulance in an emergency. And she was grateful that little Isaac had got help after she’d had a seizure. She told her relieved husband that she’d decided to go ahead with the surgery after all. Let’s hope it’s the right decision.

‘Silly’ Kim and Will split slammed: ‘What a shame’

Kim Tate has remembered who she is in Emmerdale and dumped cheating Will Taylor – but not before torturing him, of course!

It turned out on Thursday September 20 that Kim has been behind Will’s blackmail all this time. And even though fans had all figured it out, they were pleased to see Kim return to her old ways.

However, despite the love for bad girl Kim, there are those who are disappointed over the outcome for Will and Kim’s marriage. The pair had been popular as a couple and some viewers were annoyed the show has gone and ruined it.

Kim dumps Will in Emmerdale

Will has been racing round for weeks trying to get rid of his blackmailer. He’s sold his watch, taken an ill-advised loan off Caleb and followed every instruction the tormentor has set. All because he stupidly slept with his ex Rose and won’t own up to it.

Desperate to keep his sex secret, Will dashed off into the woods last night when he thought Kim had been kidnapped. What he actually found was a mannequin with her face on it. Further into the forest he went where he discovered a shovel and was told to dig. Hearing Kim crying out for help, he did as he was told.

What he found in the ground was a coffin and a walkie talkie. Not Kim. That’s because she was behind him, ready to whack him over the head with the spade.

Still confused as he lay in the coffin, Kim spelt it out for her husband: she knew everything, she’s been the one setting him up and their marriage was over.

Taking the Â£50k he’d managed to raise to pay the blackmailer off, Kim also took Will’s phone and left him in the ground. As Will shouted out after her, she replied through the walkie talkie: “Over and out,” meaning their marriage was done.

Fans react

Despite the outpouring of love for the old Kim Tate returning and exacting revenge like only she can, disappointment was in the air. There were those who really wanted Will and Kim to pull through this.

“Such a shame though, I really liked them as a couple,” said one on social media.

Another agreed: “I like Will, shame they have split another couple up in Emmerdale.”

“Why couldn’t they have let them be happy without the terrible storyline. Would love to see a proper happy family at Home Farm in fact in the whole village, too many far fetched doom gloom storylines Emmerdale’s writers PLEASE let have the old stories back with loads of lovely bonds and humour,” added one more.

“It’s a shame I liked Will and Kim together, such a silly storyline too,” commented a fourth.

But are they really over? Will Kim soften again and take him back? Or is this really the return of Queen Kim who rules the Dales with an iron fist?
