Laurel gets no sympathy from viewers as they remember her ‘homewrecking’ ways

This week in Emmerdale, Laurel was confronted by Mary for her actions with Marlon. And it seems fans aren’t able to have much sympathy for her.

Fans were left confused when it was revealed Marlon and Laurel had a secret. And while it was hinting at an affair, it turned out to be something completely different.

Emmerdale: Laurel and Marlon secret

Laurel had relapsed and was afraid she would lose her family’s trust if she found out she had been drinking again. And so she relied on Marlon to get her through it.

But despite it being purely platonic on his side, the lines were blurred for Laurel and she made a move on him.

Marlon didn’t reciprocate and even agreed to keep it between the two of them. But we all know nothing stays a secret in soaps, and it wasn’t long before Rhona found out.

Things are already tense between the couple as they continue their search for April, but it seems to be getting worse and worse.

Rhona confided in Mary about everything that happened. And despite her asking to keep quiet, Mary couldn’t help but confront Laurel.

This caused a whole bunch of issues as Laurel abruptly left the pub and Marlon blamed Rhona.

But despite the harsh words from Mary, fans struggle to have sympathy for Laurel, as they remember her ‘home-wrecking’ history.

Fans struggle to sympathise with Laurel

Taking to a Reddit thread, one fan wrote: “I hate how Laurel is revered as some sort of paragon of virtue by pretty much the whole village. When in reality she is a serial cheat, home-wrecker and was extremely verbally abusive to Marlon when they were married. I will never forget the scene where she ran over Marlon’s dog when she was drunk driving and then told him she would just buy him a new one.”

Another agreed: “I can’t stand Laurel. She goes after everyone’s boyfriends and husbands!”

A third commented: “Laurel is the absolute worst. She has a form of being a snivelling cheat so I am delighted Mary called her out.”

However, some other users believe that Rhona is the one who is in the wrong.

One wrote: “For some reason they’re making Rhona almost unbearable to watch. She used to be one of my favourites, but the self righteousness and selfishness since the Ivy story has been ridiculous. She has turned into a miserable [bleep]. If she wan’t moaning over Laurel then it would be something else.”

Tensions are bound to be high between them right now as it hits two weeks since April’s disappearance. But just how bad is it going to get? Will Marlon and Rhona make it through? And where is April?

What happened between Laurel and Marlon? 3 theories over mysterious texts as fans convinced it’s not an affair

Something is going on with Laurel and Marlon in Emmerdale after mysterious texts between the two were revealed. But what is actually the truth?

As the police uncovered April talking about the messages on social media, Marlon visited Laurel and the suggestion was they had been having an affair. But fans aren’t convinced and have other theories on what really happened between them.

What happened between Laurel and Marlon in Emmerdale?

The police investigating missing April have discovered a private social media account to which she had uploaded a lot of drunken videos. In one, she revealed she had found texts between Laurel and Marlon and thought they were having an affair.

Keeping the news quiet from Rhona, Marlon later went to see Laurel and told her April knew about them. He thinks this is why she ran off.

Laurel was furious that Marlon had shown the police their texts she begged: “Please, Marlon, if this gets out I could lose everything.” But Marlon was (understandably!) more concerned with April coming home and he didn’t care about the cost.

So just what are they hiding? While the evidence so far suggests it’s an affair, fans aren’t convinced. They think this is a red herring.

“I don’t think they had an affair,” said one on social media. Another agreed: “Hands up if you don’t think they had an affair.”

“Marlon and Laurel are not having an affairâ€¦ he’s not the one scared the secret is gonna come out, she is, it’s obvious she’s hiding something so everyone needs to chill on the affair thing,” added a third.

But what really happened?

Theories over Laurel and Marlon in Emmerdale

1. An affair

So despite the fact viewers overwhelming think it’s not an affair, there are those that are convinced it is.

“Are Marlon and Laurel having an affair?!” questioned one. Another commented: “Oh wow. Another affair.”

“OMG SO HAVE LAUREL AND MARLON HAD AN AFFAIR,” asked another.

“Saint Marlon cheating with Laurel behind Rhona’s back, the dirty dog,” quipped a fourth.Â

The pair do have history. They had an affair before when Laurel was married to Ashley. Marlon and Laurel eventually got married themselves, but she developed an alcohol problem. In a drunken state she ran over his dog, Daisy, and tried to bury her without Marlon knowing. Needless to say their marriage ended pretty soon afterwards.

Which leads us too…

2. A drinking relapse

Laurel has been off the booze for quite some time and has stayed strong. But after a tough year that saw a messy divorce from Jai Sharma, could she have hit the bottle again? Some seem to think so.

“I feel like Laurel relapsed and went to Marlon,” shared one fan.Â

Another asked: “Did Laurel get drunk and make a move on Marlon?”

“Has Laurel relapsed?” questioned one more, while a fourth added: “No affair, wonder if she’s been drinking she’s had a lot going on.”

3. A secret baby?

Many are confused over the fact Laurel was recently sleeping with vicar Charles. Has she used Marlon as a confessional after her fling left her with a surprising result?

“The scriptwriters are making it sound worse than it is. I’m convinced that it’s because Laurel confided in Marlon about doing the horizontal tango with the Vicar Charles,” said one.Â

Another took it further: “I think she’s pregnant from her night with Charles.”

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom destroyed evidence and Jai and Charles came to blows in the village

Emmerdale tonight (Monday, October 7) saw Tom King retrieve his tablet containing the damning evidence. As he destroyed it, Carl watched on…

Meanwhile, Jai and Charles exchanged cross words in the village following the revelation that Laurel and Charles had slept together.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Tom smashed his tablet (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale tonight: Tom destroyed evidence

Tom spotted an opportunity to get Isaac alone. He used intimidation techniques before Isaac informed him that the tablet was at home and he knew where the spare key was kept.

Later, Tom let himself in to Butlers Farm, but he had to hide when Matty came in. At one point Tom lifted a candlestick and prepared himself to hit Matty over the head with it â€“ because that is how normal people react. Fortunately, Matty left after a call from Moira.Â

Meanwhile, Belle asked Moira again if she could remember what she’d seen before her seizure, but the answer was still a firm no.

Walking home, Belle run in to Tom. Despite telling him he was breaking his bail conditions, Tom wouldn’t let up and told her she’d be the one going jail, not him.

‘Think about it for a minute,’ he said. ‘Iâ€™ll spell it out for ya, shall I? Local vet, professional member of the community, clean reputation, no criminal record. Not to mention the factÂ that there is zero evidence… Let me tell you this. Youâ€™re going to get sent down for what youâ€™ve done to me and then theyâ€™ll lock you up for a very, very long time. Just watch.’

Talking of evidence, having got the tablet back, Tom set about destroying it. But he didn’t do this in the privacy of his home, oh no, he chose to do it outside in the middle of the village where anyone could watch him â€“ including his young cousin Carl, who had a front row seat from the window. But will it help Belle?

Jai and Charles came to blows in the village (Credit: ITV)

Charles and Jai clashed

Spotting Charles in the village, Jai couldn’t resist having a dig and quipped: ‘Managed to keep yourself out the congregation’s knickers?’

He also threatened to tell the bishop and insulted Laurel by suggesting she had a bit of a thing for vicars. Charles squared up to Jai, but they were stopped by Manpreet before things could get out of hand.

Manpreet then had her own thoughts to share with Charles and told him he should behave in a way befitting his position.

Later, Charles told Laurel that things were too complicated and that they shouldn’t see each other anymore. Laurel said that was fine – but her face didn’t get that memo and clearly said that she was absolutely not fine.

Kim dressed up for a date with Peter (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale tonight: 1-0 to Kim

Will invited Jimmy round for a lads day to try and clear the air following their recent falling out.

Kim returned home and remarked that the place smelt like a kebab shop. Determined to annoy Kim, Will opened his can of beer and it fizzled all over the mirror. Will found this more amusing than perhaps a man of his age should.

But regardless, this is Kim Tate we’re talking about and nobody gets one over on Kim. Walking down the stairs dressed to the nines, she opened the door and let her financial advisor Peter in.

‘Iâ€™ll be late, so apologies for any noise later. Not sure Iâ€™ll be able to keep it quiet,’ she told Will, while Jimmy sat there catching flies.

Arthur admitted the truth about John (Credit: ITV)

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Arthur apologised to John for lying about sleeping with him. He said he did it as he wanted to seem mature. Laurel also apologised to John for not believing him.

But later at home, still reeling from being dumped by the vicar, Laurel told Arthur that an apology isn’t good enough and he needs to take responsibility for his actions.

Elsewhere, Billy gave Dawn some money, claiming it was from a client. But after she hugged him, he flinched in pain before it was revealed he had boxing gloves in his bag. He’s clearly hiding something and nothing stays secret in the Dales for long.

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Arthur’s lies erupted in the Woolpack and Tom turned his threats towards a child

Emmerdale tonight saw Arthur spiral further out of control as he boasted about his sex life – and was caught out. But as he refused to admit he was lying, all hell broke loose in the pub.

Meanwhile, Tom’s threatening behaviour intimidated Carl and then he turned his attentions to young Isaac.

Everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight right here.

Laurel was furious at John and confronted him (Credit: ITV)

Arthur told a sex lie

Laurel and Charles were still playing flirty Mcflirty pants and Arthur was trying to ignore it. He had other things on his mind, mainly John Sugden. Arthur has completely convinced himself John has the hots for him and is trying to get into his pants by fawning over his camper van. That van’s seen a lot of action!

Arthur then made out to April that he and John had sex in the back of the van. She was pretty disgusted – and Laurel overheard everything and she was disgusted too.

Laurel immediately confronted John in front of everyone in the Woolpack (where else?!) and John denied everything. When he called Arthur a kid, Arthur lost it and revealed Laurel’s fling with Charles to the pub. And yes, Jai did hear everything.

A confrontation between Laurel and Jai ensued and he accused her of sleeping with anyone. She has been rather flighty recently – what is with this overly sexual Laurel, she hasn’t always been like that, has she?

Tom made more threats in Emmerdale tonight

The mask is well and truly beginning to slip for Tom King. Thank the Lord.

After an axe in his back a week ago, Tom was up and about and driving Carl to the dentist. Tom was soon showing his scary side as he confronted Carl over the missing tablet. The terrified lad owned up about Isaac having it.

Tom then started manipulating Carl suggesting he could end up in jail for stealing it. He played the hero and said he’d keep the secret and then turned on the charm and offered to buy him a milkshake. Carl was pretty confused – and scared – but how long before he admits Tom’s terribly behaviour to Nicola and Jimmy?

Tom then told Carl he would deal with Isaac when he decides to. If he touches a hair on that child’s head we will not be responsible for our actions, that’s all we’re saying.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Moira made friends

Moira was still worried about Isaac’s remaining sheep (fortunately we later found out she’s going to be okay). Ruby was on babysitting dutire and they went for a walk in the countryside.

Frustratingly, Moira still can’t remember what happened yesterday and feels totally out of control. Ruby was surprisingly understanding and then revealed it was her mother’s cremation today. These two being friends is fast becoming an Emmerdale highlight.

The soap also seems to have remembered Moira and Vanessa were once great friends as well. We are liking all this female solidarity, long may it continue!

Liam and Chas exchange a look (Credit: ITV)

Liam longed for Chas, but Ella’s still there

Ella and Liam are awkwardly getting on with their relationship and Chas was forced to cover for Liam in front of Ella about their afternoon together yesterday.Â He later apologised in the pub and it was clear they are far more comfortable together and have much more in common than Ella and Liam – compounded by Ella’s arrival and the awkwardness that descended.

How much longer before Ella and Liam ends? It’s clear they only have sex in common, so just get him with Chas and be done with it.

5 Signs Arthur Thomas is about to go off the rails

Ever since he got back from Australia there has been a change in Arthur Thomas in Emmerdale. He’s mean, moody and miserable.

So, is this just a typical teenage rebellion or are their signs this is about to turn into something much, much darker?

We have a sinking feeling it’s the latter and as he causes chaos with his lies about John on Friday October 4, his relationship with mum Laurel is going to hit breaking point. But just how far will things go? It looks like Arthur is about to go off the rails – here’s all the evidence.

It’s been a packed young life for Arthur (Credit: ITV)

1. Arthur’s grown up a lot

It’s fair to say young Arthur has dealt with a lot in his life. Although he wouldn’t have known about it, he was swapped at birth, then given back to his rightful parents Laurel and Ashley after the other baby died. Laurel then struggled to bond with him.

He then lost his dad in heartbreaking circumstances when Ashley was diagnosed with early onset dementia. On top of that loss, he was manipulated by evil Emma Barton not long after his father’s death.

Arthur realised he was gay last year and after coming out to his family, tried to help his friend Marshall deal with his own sexuality. Marshall’s father was very religious and Marshall came to live with Laurel and co. It was a case of too much too soon for Arthur and Marshall and they called time on their relationship.

Arthur then went to Australia to see his grandad over the summer and has come back a completely different person. He’s trying to step up and be the man of the house following Jai and Laurel’s split and his mum’s heart attack, and he’s drinking, dating and boosting about his love life.

All typical teenage behaviour one might argue. But is it really? Or has everything Arthur’s been through forced him to grow up too quickly and now it’s going to come tumbling out in a bad way?

2. Arthur is telling lies in Emmerdale

After setting his sights on John Sugden Arthur has been flirting and making everyone cringe with his attempts to seduce the grumpy paramedic. He has made out to April he left a string of broken hearts in Australia and is far more experienced than he clearly is.

And then he lies that he and John have slept together like it’s no big deal. Except that would be a really big deal. If it were true.

Laurel overhears the lies and all hell breaks loose when she believes them and confronts John. But will Arthur’s humiliation at his mum treating him like a kid spill over into something more?

Things are far from good between Laurel and Arthur (Credit: ITV)

3. Emmerdale: Arthur has a temper

Spoiler pictures for next week show Arthur laying into mum Laurel screaming and shouting at her. And it’s not the first time we’ve seen a glimpse of his temper.

He has been giving Jai a very hard time over the divorce from Laurel – rightly so, perhaps, but being rude to him in the street and shutting down any attempts at a reconciliation seem very unlike Arthur to us. And all this pent up rage has to come out at some point…

Laurel was upset when Arthur tearfully confessed what he’d done (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

4. He’s got form

Let’s not forget that Arthur wasn’t always the sweet, studious boy we now know. When Archie first came to live with dad Jai and Laurel in 2019, Arthur didn’t take it well.

He felt pushed out and jealous of the attention Archie got, so started to viciously bully him. Things soon turned violent and he left bruises on Archie – but blamed Jimmy King!

When his grandad Sandy died, Arthur believed it was his fault and he was being punished for what he’d done to Archie. He confessed to his mum, who was furious, but kept it secret from Jai. However the truth came out when Archie was hurt and Arthur was blamed – although this time, he hadn’t actually done anything.

The bad behaviour culminated in a fire that almost killed his sister Dotty. Could history be about to repeat itself?

Laurel was heartbroken when she caught Ashley abusing Sandy (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

5. It runs in the family

Arthur isn’t the only one with a history of violence in his family. In fact, his dad, Ashley used to abuse his elderly father Sandy. The revelation of the abuse was so bad it ended his first marriage to Laurel.

Is it a case of like father like son? In times of stress, will Arthur start to lash out like his dad did?

Things are still tense next week (Credit: ITV)

So where is the Arthur storyline going in Emmerdale?

Next week, things are so bad between Laurel and Arthur Nicola has to step in. They are arguing constantly and the tension is palpable. Nicola manages to get Arthur to confess to his lies, and offers him comfort and advice.

But Laurel is hurt and furious that he has confided in Nicola and not her. She lets rip once again and things are right back to square one.

With tension at an all-time high and Arthur clearly on a destructive path, just how far could this go? Is this really a teenage rebellion? Or is Arthur going down the Tommy Moon route in EastEnders?

All the evidence suggests Arthur’s heading for something big as his behaviour worsens. Does Laurel just need to loosen the leash? Or is there more to this?

It’s just a hunch on our part for now and we really, really hope we’re wrong. Come on kind Arthur, come back to us!

Emmerdale’s saddest animal deaths including Batley the dog and Minty the lamb

Emmerdale fans were left reeling back in August after it looked like Belle Dingle’s beloved dog Piper had been killed at the hands of her abusive husband Tom. Fortunately Piper is still alive and Tom had just tricked Belle into thinking she was dead.

In Emmerdale on Wednesday October 2, Moira was responsible for the death of all her son Isaac’s sheep.

Sadly, these aren’t the first animals to meet a sorry end in Emmerdale, though. We’ve rounded up the most heartbreaking (and shocking!) animal deaths over the years.

Aaron was devastated when Clyde died (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock )

Clyde – Aaron’s dog

Aaron Dingle – who was then known as Aaron Livesy – adopted Clyde in 2009 when he found him starving. Aaron did his best to train Clyde, who was volatile and even attacked Edna Birch’s dog, Tootsie. But eventually Clyde got in a fight with a bigger dog and lost a lot of blood. Paddy put Clyde down with heartbroken Aaron by his side.

Daisy – Marlon’s dog

Marlon’s Dalmation Daisy originally belonged to his wife, Tricia. When Tricia died Marlon looked after the pooch though there was a hairy moment in 2012 when she was knocked over by Ashley Thomas.

That was nothing, though, compared to the shocking scenes in 2015 when alcoholic Laurel knocked over Daisy when she was drunk. Daisy died by the road, and Laurel tried to bury her to hide her involvement in the crime, only to be rumbled by Cain Dingle.

Batley – Edna Birch’s dog

Grumpy Edna could never hide her irritation at her fellow Emmerdale residents, and her disapproval of the antics in the village was clear! But Edna had a soft side and she adored her little dog, Batley.

Batley was a real character – much like Piper – and the fans were shocked when he was kicked by Edna’s horrible granddaughter Eve Jenson. Just a few weeks later, everyone was devastated when Batley fell ill and was put down.

The fans were so upset by the whole thing that Batley’s sad demise even scooped him Best Exit at the British Soap Awards in 2002!

Tip – Jai’s dog

Jai loved little rescue pooch Tip. But Tip met a sorry end when he was killed – accidentally – by Andrea Tate. Just like Laurel before her, Andrea tried to cover up the crime but was found out.

Bundle – Caroline Bates’s dog

In 1984, trigger-happy Jackie Merrick shot and killed Bundle in front of a group of horrified schoolchildren! Bundle had been bothering Jackie’s sheep but the Bates family were so upset they sued Jackie!

Dark Star – Kim Tate’s horse

Horse-lover Kim adored her beautiful horse Dark Star, but he was killed in 1993 when the plane crashed on EmmerdaleÂ village – which was then called Beckindale.

Smokey – Seth Armstrong’s dog

Seth’s beloved pet Smokey also met his fate on the night of the plane crash when burning rubble destroyed the Pollards’ house. Elizabeth Pollard had been looking after Smokey that evening, but had stormed out after a row with husband Eric. Poor Elizabeth was also killed that night.

Hamish – Belle Dingle’s Shetland pony

Belle thought the world of her little pony Hamish. He had to be put down when he got ill, with Belle sobbing by his side. Piper is buried next to Hamish, close to the Dingles’ cottage Wishing Well.

Steve – Lydia’s cockatoo

Lydia’s cockatoo was fond of biting people and was known to be grumpy, but Lydia loved him. She was terribly upset in 2017 when he escaped through an open window and flew into some power lines, which killed him instantly. In fact, Lydia was so upset that she had Steve stuffed!

We’re not sure where he is now, which is probably for the best.

Minty was Isaac’s best friend (Credit: ITV)

Minty the lamb

Young Isaac Dingle was horrified when he did a farm visit with his mum and discovered the runt of the lambs would be killed. He managed to persuade dad Cain to let him have Minty as a pet. Isaac grew very attached to him and the whole village joined in to search for Minty when he went missing.

Sadly, Minty didn’t make it, as Moira had warned, he just wasn’t strong enough to survive. Isaac was sure his mum had killed his pet, but she insisted she hadn’t. Though given Moira’s behaviour now, we’re not so sure!
