After the revelation that Nate is the body in the lake, Emmerdale fans are convinced they have worked out the ‘truth’ about the flash-forwards – and who John will target next.
As soon as Nate left the village viewers theorised there was more to his departure than we saw. And now, five months later, it’s confirmed he was murdered – and his body is still sinking in the lake.
It didn’t take long for theories to start. And everyone remembered how John Sugden was acting after his exit and believe he killed him. Alongside that, fans think they have worked out the true order of the New Year flash-forwards – and someone should be scared.

Emmerdale John to target Mack?
At the beginning of 2025, Emmerdale aired five flash-forwards. Nothing was ever said about when these would air. But we know it will be throughout the year.
The last flash-forward we got was the hand in the ice. But that was the first one we saw in the timeline. And judging by the current storylines, a new theory suggests they are in reverse chronological order. Meaning Mack should be running scared.
Fans took to a Reddit thread to discuss the theory, and found more reasons why John is the one behind Nate’s death. And will be the one going after Mack.
One fan wrote: “I am starting to believe that the flash-forwards we saw on New Year’s were a reversed order of when we are going to see them.
“We saw the ice one this week. And that was the last shown. So if this theory is correct, we will see the body being pushed off the bridge next. Then Cain at the grave, Caleb flatlining and then Mack running through the forest.”
Another fan agreed, admitting it strengthens the theory that John is responsible.
They penned: “This just further emphasises that John is the killer to me. It will be him chasing Mack through the woods, mark my words.
“We know they have history. And Mack was close friends with Nate. If he begins to suspect John then John will go after him. I don’t see this ending well for Mack.”

Is John a serial killer?
When Nate left the village, Tracy asked John if he had seen him. Conveniently John informed her that he had already gone, while closing his van boot very quickly.
He apologised to Tracy but she said: “It’s not your fault.” However, it’s looking more and more likely that it is his fault.
Then when Aaron went to John about Anthony’s death, the new Sugden knew very well how to get rid of the body – practise makes perfect!
And if Matty tells Mack about Amy’s last words, maybe he begins to work out that Nate is dead. And it won’t take long before he becomes the next target.

They say cats have nine lives, and so do a lot of Emmerdale characters, and no matter how many times they stare death in the face, they never actually meet their maker.
These extremely fortunate folk have overcome illnesses, survived catastrophic accidents and managed to escape murderers. In all honesty, they’ve got us wondering why and how they’re still breathing.
Here are nine Emmerdale characters who have defied the odds when it comes to death…
Cain lived to tell the tale (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Cain Dingle deserves an award when it comes to Emmerdale characters’ deaths
Cain Dingle is the soap’s Mr Invincible. No matter how many brushes with death this guy had, he always lives to fight another day – quite remarkable considering the rest of the Emmerdale characters on the list.
The mechanic came closest to meeting his maker in 2011 when he was left for dead in a huge whodunit storyline, dubbed ‘Judgement Day’. Cain was bludgeoned over the head with a crowbar by a mystery assailant, who later turned out to be his dad, Zak. But after a few weeks in hospital he was ready to go again.
So Cain survived having his skull smashed in, but what else?
He almost burnt to death after Adam Barton set fire to his garage in revenge for Cain destroying his mum and dad’s marriage. He’s also undergone surgery for a brain aneurysm, and nearly drowned in a freezing river.
Then there was the time Cain nearly blew himself up while trying to get Nate killed for sleeping with Moira. He also suffered a near-fatal brain injury during a violent brawl with nephew Aaron, and most recently cheated death when Moira blew up Butler’s barn.
He should come with a health and safety warning!

Mackenzie Boyd
How is Mack still alive? No, seriously. How is he still alive? It’s true that Mack gets himself into most of these dangerous situations, but he’s been fortunate to survive them.
In 2023, Mack was involved in a terrifying car accident with his wife Charity and lover Chloe – which only happened because he played away. The vehicle was left hanging over the edge of a cliff, and Mack managed to save himself and Charity from the wreckage. Chloe went down with the car, but miraculously wasn’t killed.
Mack was then held hostage by Chloe’s gangster dad, Harry. And he would have ended up with a bullet in his head if it wasn’t for Charity saving the day, and shooting Harry dead.
His latest two lives have been used up. First, surviving getting stabbed in the stomach by Charity, then almost getting gored by an angry bull.
What’s going to be next?

Aaron Dingle
Aaron must know Hotten General like the back of his hand – he’s spent enough time there over the years.
The troubled Emmerdale character has a history of self-harm, and faced death when he developed septicemia after deliberately cutting his skin. Aaron’s overdosed on drugs and attempted suicide more than once.
In October 2016 he almost died after he and lover Robert were involved in the Hotten Bypass Crash. The couple’s car plunged into a lake and Aaron was trapped under the water. He was rushed to hospital and flatlined seconds after Robert popped the question.
But thanks to the miracles of modern medicine Aaron was saved.
Most recently John had to perform emergency surgery on his boyfriend after his lung collapsed. Aaron was taken to Hotten where it was revealed John had saved his life.
Sarah has a complicated medical history (Credit: ITV)
Sarah Sugden
Life hasn’t been very kind to poor Sarah, but she’s somehow managed to hang on in there.
At six-years-old she was diagnosed with fanconi anemia, a rare genetic disease, which increases the risk of cancer. Sarah developed leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant to save her life, so Debbie and Andy conceived a saviour sibling. Baby Jack was born and was a match for his sister.
Sarah recovered, but was nearly killed after Kerry Wyatt accidentally set fire to Dale View while babysitting her and Jack.
Her health took another tragic turn in 2017 when she was diagnosed with throat cancer. Sarah’s long-lost great grandmother Faith stumped up £20,000 for her to undergo private treatment in Prague, which was a success.
If that wasn’t enough, less than 12 months later Sarah went into heart failure – a rare side-effect of her chemotherapy. A donor was found and Sarah underwent a risky heart transplant. Once more, there was a guardian angel looking down on her.
Sarah’s most recent hospital trips have been due to her drinking – something she’s not allowed to do due her condition.
Brave Moira recently underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour (Credit: ITV)
Moira Dingle is one of those Emmerdale characters whose been through enough, let alone near-death experiences
Moira’s another one that’s lucky to still be breathing if you think about all she’s been through.
She survived the car accident that claimed the life of her first husband John, walking away from the wreckage with just cuts and bruises. Then her life fell apart after the death of her daughter Holly from a heroin overdose.
Moira almost succumbed to addiction herself after she developed a dangerous alcohol habit. She once passed out drunk behind the wheel of her car and avoided what could have been a fatal collision.
2024 was the year Moira was forced to face her own mortality after being diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumour. After almost blowing herself and others up in an explosion at Butler’s barn, Moira’s underwent life-saving surgery to remove the mass.
She’s come through the operation, but isn’t out of the woods yet. Now Moira has to face her next hurdle – a course of radiotherapy. Will it be the death of her? Or will the Emmerdale cast member join the list of characters who survived death yet again?
Kathy was nearly smothered by evil Steve Marchant (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Kathy Glover
Fan favourite Kathy was used to her husbands dying on her, but she also came close on a few occasions.
In 1998 the cafe owner became the victim of a hit and run after Steve Marchant accidentally ran her over. He didn’t call the police as he was carrying out a robbery at the time and it was hours before Kathy was discovered. She spent several weeks in a coma, during which time Steve tried to suffocate her with a pillow to stop her telling the police he’d been driving the car.
Kathy was in peril again when she grew close to secret killer Graham Clark. He’d already done away with her best mate Rachel Hughes and made her death look like suicide. Graham almost killed Kathy by driving off a cliff top, but she escaped with her life.
Then just weeks later, Kathy was one of the passengers travelling on a community bus which collided with a Tate Haulage lorry. She was one of the last ones to be freed from the wreckage, which claimed several lives.

Kim Tate
Queen Kim is immortal, well that’s what we’re telling ourselves. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t given us a few scares during her magnificent reign.
Christmas 1996 was very nearly Kim’s last after she got trapped in a fire at Home Farm. But it was her lover Dave Glover who went up in flames while rescuing baby James from the blaze.
After Kim made a triumphant return to the Dales in 2018, she was pushed off a balcony by Faith Dingle. We all feared Kim was no more, but she lived to tell the tale.
She’s also withstood months of being poisoned by vengeful son Jamie, and most recently viewers watched in horror as Dawn drugged Kim with ketamine. But as Jamie and Dawn discovered, no one gets the better of Kim!

Ross Barton
Ross has always lived life on the edge, but has somehow never ended up six feet under.
The closest Ross came was back in 2015 when Pete beat him to near death in revenge for his affair with Debbie. The audience were led to believe Pete had killed Ross after they watched him dump his body in the woods. But several weeks later it was revealed Ross had survived the attack as he made a dramatic return.
Ross has also overcome a horrific acid attack which has left him scarred for life, and put his life on the line competing in underground boxing matches.
How Lawrence survived getting shot we’ll never know (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Lawrence White’s list of ‘almost’ deaths was impressive
Former lord of the manor Lawrence White finally used up his nine lives in 2018 and it was about time! The Emmerdale member’s list of near-death experiences suspended disbelief, even by the standards of the other characters.
During his three and a bit years in the Dales, Lawrence suffered five suspected heart attacks, two of which were confirmed. He was shot in the stomach by deranged grandson Lachlan, and should have bled to death, but didn’t.
Then in 2017, Lawrence’s life was left hanging in the balance after his foe Tim Richards tried to gas him in a car. Once again, Lawrence was rescued in the nick of time, by Lachlan of all people!
But his number was up when Lachlan deliberately ploughed the family’s car into an oncoming lorry. Lawrence – who was travelling in the backseat – was catapulted through the windscreen and died on impact.

Emmerdale has just aired five huge flashforwards for what’s coming up in 2025 and we have some questions. Mainly, who, what, why and when! But we’ll break it down!
We know three of the flashforward involve Cain, Caleb and Mack (yawn!), however, we do not know the identities of who is in the other two. But we can see there’s plenty of drama ahead!

Emmerdale airs five flashforwards
So as the countdown to midnight began in the Woolpack on New Year’s Eve, we first focused on Mackenzie. Counting down with Charity and Noah, it then flashed on his future, running furiously through the woods, clearly trying to get somewhere fast.
The second glimpse of what’s to come was Caleb, flatlining on an operating table. And then we cut to Cain crying at someone’s graveside.
The final two flashforwards were equally cryptic if not more so – one featured a body bag being pushed into the river and another was a hand trapped under an icy lake bashing the surface.
So you can see why we have questions! This is everything we need to know.
Caleb lies on a hospital bed and flatlines (Credit: ITV)
1. What’s happened to Caleb and does he die?
Seen hooked up to hospital machinery, something is clearly very wrong with Caleb. But what? Is it an illness? Or has he been hurt in an accident, or perhaps attacked?
Whatever has happened, it does not look good as he soon flatlines. Can he be brought back to life?
“I can’t cope if anything happens to Caleb!” screamed one fan on social media. Neither can we!
Whose grave is Cain standing at? (Credit: ITV)
2. Who is Cain mourning?
Cain is stood alone at a graveside. He is wearing a funeral suit and the grave is freshly dug with flowers on it. As Cain looks troubled and then breaks down, it’s not obvious whose grave it is. But Cain wouldn’t cry over just anyone, would he?
Is it Caleb’s grave – is Cain simply mourning his brother? Or has Cain somehow caused Caleb’s death and the guilt is overwhelming?
Or could it be *whispers it* Moira? Please not Moira! After her recent brain surgery, she still has to undergo radiotherapy. Could something go terribly wrong?
Eagle-eyed fans on social media think the flowers have spelled out ‘Mum’, but others insist that’s not right and they definitely don’t – and we just can’t work it out.
Here’s a curveball though: what if it’s related to the long-held theory that Nate Robinson, Cain’s son who’s supposedly in Shetland, is actually dead?
The body bag will surface (Credit: ITV)
3. Who is in the body bag in the Emmerdale flashforwards?
This could be anybody. Literally anybody. We don’t know who’s pushing it into the water, so can’t even say which family in Emmerdale it involves!
Or what about Ella Forster? She is leaving the soap and has killed before. Will she do so again before she goes?
We have nothing to go on whatsoever here, so these are all just guesses – we need to know!

4. Who is in the icy lake?
The hand bashing against the ice was probably the most chilling part of the Emmerdale flashforwards. Someone is trapped and it looks cold and dark and isolated, so do they have any hope of getting out? Not likely!
Reports have suggested this is how Leyla Harding will meet her maker. The Sun has suggested the terrifying scenes, filmed just before Christmas, will see Leyla and two other women trapped in a car as it sinks into a frozen lake.
Sources have told the publication that Emmerdale pulled out all the stops. This included covering a field with candle wax in order to make it look like a frozen lake.
An insider said: “It’s a nightmare scenario and everything was done to make sure this was a scene with real impact. Hours were spent creating a layer of ice. Then the actors spent hours out on the frozen field in the pitch black trying to do the storyline justice.”
This one was a little dull to be honest! Mackenzie running through the woods looking a bit stressed. There was no one else with him – so is he running to find someone or running away from someone – or something?
We’re struggling to care too much about this – Mack’s done himself no favours lately, so unless he’s rushing to save one of our faves, we’ll just wait to see on this one.
6. Are all the flashforwards in Emmerdale connected?
There were five of them, seemingly focusing on different characters, but are they all connected?
For example: Is Mack racing to find Caleb, who is then rushed to hospital, dies and Cain cries at his grave? Then Cain gets revenge on his killer by plunging them in a body bag in a lake, but the person gets free just as the lake freezes over and can’t get out? See what we mean? Is there a connection here?
Or are these five completely different storylines that will have us equally gripped in 2025?

However, when Charity made it clear that if he wanted a relationship with Moses he’d have to give the fighting up, Ross did the right thing and tried to cancel his next fight.
Another obstacle to Ross forming a relationship with Moses comes in the shape of Charity’s partner Mack, who has been a father figure to Moses.
Ross and Mack have bickered constantly, with Moses stuck in the middle. This went one step further last week when Ross gave Mack a beating. There was a reason for it, though – Mack’s decision to steal £10k from Jade had nearly got young April killed because Jade kidnapped April as leverage until she got her money back.
However, the attack was witnessed by Moses, leaving Ross as the bad guy. Charity told Ross he’d never see his son again, while Moses told his dad to go away and described him as a bully.

Fans side with Ross
Taking to X, viewers expressed their anger at the situation and defended Ross against Mack. One fan said: “Mackenzie really starting to grind on me like what is his problem with Ross he need to get a life.”
“Why is Ross getting the blame and Mackenzie blameless and getting away scot free?” asked another viewer. A third fan echoed that thought and said: “Why is Charity not bloody angry with him [Mack] for putting her and Moses at risk and April in danger! I know Ross isn’t innocent but it’s ridiculous how Mack gets away with no blame!”
A fourth viewer said: “All down to Mack… but let’s blame Ross…Â Can’t even solely blame Ross for the fighting, considering Billy was involved. Then Mack steals the money & even when Ross explains how dangerous Jade is, he still doesn’t do a thing. Now, I am NOT a fan of Ross, but come on!”
Another fan added: “It’s not Ross’ fault April got into a car with a stranger, Marlon. Mack is such an ass. He caused this not Ross. He’s a jealous, petty man who had that decking coming.”
Other fans even went as far as to feel sorry for Ross, with one writing: “Is it weird I feel sorry for Ross?” and another adding: “Feel sorry for Ross – for once he hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Viewers have slammed the current Emmerdale Mack storyline as they admit they “can’t wait” for Ross to “wipe the smile off his face.”
When bad boy Ross Barton arrived back in the village, he did so in true Ross fashion – taking part in an illegal fight club. But when the police arrived and everything went wrong, Mackenzie stole some money. And Ross has been given the blame.
Last night’s episode (December 3) saw Mack taunt Ross, using his relationship with Moses. And when Ross gave him some money to give to his son, Mack quickly made fun of how little there was.

Mack and Ross clash over Moses
He began splashing the stolen cash on Christmas presents for both Charity and Moses, before giving Amy a large sum to get to Reuben. But it seems viewers are on team Ross.
Jade began threatening two people Ross cares most about – April and Moses. So when reality sets in that she means business, Ross knows he has to keep his loved ones safe.
We know April finds herself in danger this week because of Jade’s threats, but will Mackenzie ever speak out and admit it was him? Or will he just enjoy watching everyone blame Ross?
After the episode, fans couldn’t help but express on social media how much they want Ross to come out on top.

Fans react to the current Emmerdale Mack and Ross storyline
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) one wrote: “Can’t wait for Ross to get the better of Mack. Which he will!”
Another added: “Mack is so jealous of Ross. Wish Ross would just wipe the smile off his face.”
“Mack is going to get people hurt! He’s horrible”, a third added.
A fourth penned: “Imagine what’s going to happen when they find out Mack took the money…”
With viewers firmly standing against Mack’s decision’s, surely it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out. But the question is, will someone get hurt before it does?

In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight (December 4), Tom gives his plea, and Ross begins to take Jade’s threats seriously.
This week viewers have seen Angelica communicate with Tom, despite the fact he’s in prison. She doesn’t seem to mind though – could she feel connected with him since she just got back from prison herself?
Ross has also found himself in some trouble as Jade is back and blames him for her missing ten grand. But tonight, he starts to realise she isn’t playing with her threats.
Does Angelica help Tom? Will Ross find out Mack is to blame?
Tonight it’s his plea hearing and not surprisingly he pleads not guilty. Belle is the one to pass the news to Nicola.
But Nicola still has no idea that her daughter, Angelica, is currently in contact with Tom, after she put her details in when Jimmy decided he didn’t want anything to do with him.
Angelica seems to be believing Tom’s lies, so when he suggests that she tries to win Jimmy round to the anti-Belle stance – will she listen?
And just how much can Tom manipulate her whilst behind bars?

2. Steph is desperate for Ruby to forgive Anthony

However, tonight Steph makes it clear to Caleb that in order for them to ever be able to be a happy family, Ruby needs to forgive Anthony.
But tonight she decides to give things a go for Steph and Caleb’s benefit. However, when they seem to be looking like a happy family, Ruby can’t help but distance herself very quickly.

Emmerdale spoilers 3. Jade’s threats become real for Ross
Jade give Ross an order to find out who stole her money and to get it back to her. So Ross sets out to do so, aware Jade isn’t someone to mess with.
When he starts accusing people, John inadvertently covers for Mack, who viewers know is actually the culprit.
But when Ross is left terrified over the rising threat of both Moses and April, he sets out to keep them safe.
He tries to convince Charity to take Moses away for a while but Charity refuses to do so.
However, April seems to still be unaware of the threat against her. Will Ross be able to protect them both? And will Mack feel guilty if anything happened to them?
Mack is sad about his estranged son Reuben in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale and mentions Reuben’s mum, Chloe Harris too.
The little lad – who is now about 18 months old – got two mentions in today’s ep (Tuesday December 3), with Mack sharing his despair at not having contact with his son.
So as it’s almost a year since Reuben and his mum Chloe left the village, we thought it was time to recap everything that happened in their time in the Dales and where they’ve gone.

Chloe’s arrival
Everything about Chloe’s arrival in Emmerdale was a little bit odd!
She turned up first of all because her late sister, Gemma, was Sarah Sugden‘s heart donor. She and Sarah struck up a friendship, and it became clear that Chloe had a strange home life. She lived in a big house, but was all alone and despite having lots of cash, was lonely and sad.
In a strange twist, as viewers got to know Chloe better, it was revealed that her housekeeper was Kerry Wyatt! She was taking care of Chloe while her dad Damon was in prison. Not only that, but Damon had a team of creepy henchmen who were watching Chloe’s every move.
Noah stalked Chloe (Credit: ITV)
Escape to Emmerdale
Eventually Chloe managed to flee her weird prison and moved to Emmerdale to live with Kerry and her daughter Amy. She struck up a romance with Noah Dingle, and the pair were quite cute for a minute, before Noah got – well – a bit dark.
When Chloe lost interest in Noah and turned her attention to older man Nate Robinson, Noah wasn’t happy. He started being more than a little sinister, snooping through Chloe’s things – including her underwear – and taking hundreds of photos of her. He even held her hostage!
Not surprisingly, Chloe was not happy about this turn of events and Noah ended up going to prison for three months.
Another twist for Chloe Harris in Emmerdale
In 2022, Mack had a one-night stand with a mystery person while he was on a break from then girlfriend Charity after she had a miscarriage. What a gem he is, eh?
Fans were convinced it could have been Aaron Dingle but disappointingly his secret lover turned out to be Chloe.
And when Chloe inevitably turned out to be pregnant, things got even messier.
Chloe didn’t want Mackenzie to know at first, and planned to leave. Kerry was desperate for her to stay and revealed that she was actually Chloe’s real mum. Whaaaaat?!
Chloe told Mack the truth (Credit: ITV)
Baby blues
Chloe eventually told Mack the news but he’d reconciled with Charity and didn’t want to know. Things got tricky, though, when Charity took Chloe under her wing and even invited her to live with them for a while.
There was a lot of to-ing and fro-ing between Mack and Chloe as he struggled to secretly support her through her pregnancy and during Reuben’s birth.
But of course, Charity eventually found out. She was FUMING. She and Mack broke up and he tried to make a go of it with Chloe.

Clifftop plunge for Chloe Harris
But the dream of playing happy families fell apart when Mack cheated on Chloe with Charity. Chloe worked it all out and plotted to leave, but actually ended up in the car with Mack and Charity too. And in dramatic scenes, the car plunged off the road. As it teetered on the edge of a cliff, Mack chose to save Charity, leaving Chloe to die when the car crashed down.
Except she didn’t die. In fact, she was fine! But out for revenge.

Harry Harris
Criminal Harry had been seen on screen before, getting close to Chas Dingle in order to take revenge on her brother Caleb. But it turned out he was actually Chloe’s dad, Damon! Who was also called Harry!
Harry was sinister and abusive, and when he found out about the car accident he decided to take revenge on Mackenzie. Except Harry went a bit too far and held Mack hostage. When Chloe, and then Charity worked it out, they tried to rescue him. A struggle happened and Charity accidentally shot and killed Harry!
Chloe saw a chance to make this work to her advantage and said she’d cover up Charity’s crime and back up her story, if Mack let her and baby Reuben go without a fight.
Mack agreed, though he was heartbroken. He said a tearful goodbye to his son, and off they went, never to be seen again.
Chloe has kept in touch with her sister Amy and mum Kerry. In today’s episode, Amy reported that both Chloe and Reuben were “thriving”.
Who played Chloe Harris in Emmerdale?
Chloe was played by television newcomer Jessie Elland.
Talented Jessie is also a writer and her debut novel The Ladie Upstairs – described as a feminist horror story – will be published next year.

In Emmerdale spoilers next week, Ross Barton is shocked when he realises son Moses is scared of him, leading to him making a big decision.
Ross returned to Emmerdale in October after six years away. He wasted no time in trying to get back with former flame Charity – who is the mother of Moses.
Ross attempted to kiss Charity and told her he wanted to move in with her and Moses. Charity, however, was adamant that her heart was with Mack and she only cared about Ross for Moses’ sake.
Ross has become determined to be a good dad to his son, but next week he is stopped in his tracks to learn that Moses is petrified of him. How will he deal with it?
Full Emmerdale spoilers for this story are below.

Emmerdale spoilers: Ross’s realisation
Since returning to Emmerdale, Ross has tried to be a good father to his son Moses. Having been involved in illegal underground fighting, Ross tried to give it up at Charity’s request.
However, it’s still not been plain sailing and next week Ross realises that Moses is actually petrified of him.
Knowing that he’s made Moses not want to be near him, Ross is defeated. But Charity is resolute as she sends him packing.

Ross makes a decision
During Ross’s time away, Mack was been a father figure to Moses. Since being back, this has wound Ross up and the two men have shared plenty of angry words. Ross even punched Mack on one occasion.
Next week, following on from the realisation that his son is scared of him, Ross decides he has to make things right.Â
However, when he once again observes the close bond between Mack and Moses, he decides to abandon his plans to reconcile with his son.

Ross Barton is back in Emmerdale and stirring up trouble for Charity and Mack. But despite fans having beef with Mack himself, they have overwhelmingly voted for Charity to stay with her husband and not go back to baby daddy Ross.

Ross and Charity have a ‘connection’
On Monday night (November 4) Ross put the moves on Charity, but she rebuffed him. However, it was clear she was tempted – ever heard the saying ‘the lady doth protest too much’?!
Ross is confident they have a connection and told Mackenzie as much on Tuesday (November 5). There’s no doubt Ross was enjoying winding Mack up as the Scotsman continued to patronise and belittle him. He even joked things between him and Charity were like “fireworks”, which riled Mack so much he stormed home to confront his wife.
Charity confessed Ross had kissed her, but insisted she had set him straight and he knows it’s never going to happen. That wasn’t good enough for Mackenzie who vowed to kill Ross. Because that’s worked so well for him in the past – how many times has Ross overpowered him now?!
Desperate to save her hubby from getting a pasting, Charity cornered Ross and told him to stop playing games. She said she was the only one in his corner, so he needed to stop winding her husband up.

Fans don’t want a Ross and Charity reunion in Emmerdale
Those watching at home certainly don’t want Charity to cheat on Mack with Ross.
In an exclusive poll run by Emmerdale Insider, a whooping 92 percent of you want Charity and Mackenzie to stick it out. So it seems Ross is not the man for her. In fact, fans have done a U-turn on Mack and how they feel sorry for him over Ross’s behaviour.
Last night, Charity and Mack made up and insisted Ross couldn’t touch them. They are apparently “unbreakable” – which is always a giant red flag that something is about to break them!
Will it be Ross? Or will Emmerdale listen to the fans and keep this couple together?
A happy couple in Emmerdale? Now that would be a first!

Emmerdale tonight saw Tom King slip up when he launched a tirade of abuse on Amelia in public. Surely there’s no coming back from that now?
Meanwhile, Ross was winding Mackenzie up and it worked, and John worried about Robert.
Here’s all that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday November 5.
Amelia was devastated at Tom’s harsh tirade (Credit: ITV)
Tom hit out at Amelia
Sam and Lydia’s bonfire party was getting going and Nicola agreed to meet Jimmy there so he could spend some time with Angel. Only after Tom insisted he wasn’t going because he was in too much pain after ‘being attacked’.
Tom went back on his word, though, and went to the event with Amelia. Nicola was not best-pleased to see him, but agreed to ignore it to enjoy the evening with her family. Bob even bought them all a hotdog as a peace offering. He said it was time to move on as it’s what Heath would have wanted.
But things took a turn when the guy was brought out and put on the bonfire and it was a clearly an effigy of Tom. Did he make it himself? We suspect so, but as he threatened the Dingles wanting to know who had done it, one by one they all admitted to being behind it. How very I am Spartacus!
Amelia then went into bat for him, but all that did was rile Tom up even more. Tom turned on her. He told her he hadn’t wanted to come and it was all her idea. She seemed confused as she thought it had been his idea. He accused her of meddling, told her she was chasing after him like a stray dog and was pathetic. Amelia ran off, leaving Tom looking slightly worried he’d gone too far – ya think? Even Jimmy looked uncomfortable with the situation.
Can Tom rectify this and put himself back in control? Or has hitting out in front of a crowd shown the village what they already knew – he is a nasty abuser? Is this finally the beginning of the end for him?

Emmerdale tonight: Ross wound Mack up
Ross wanted to do a firework display for the kids as an olive branch to Mack and suggested they stage it together. But Mack thought it was another dangerous idea and waxed lyrical about being a safety conscious dad.
As he tried to patronise Ross, Ross fought back throwing what happened with Chloe and Reuben in his face. He then insisted he and Charity still had a connection and referenced their heart to heart yesterday.
Mack went to see Charity and asked for the truth about their ‘connection’. Charity confessed Ross had kissed her. As Mack went apoplectic Charity insisted they were solid, but Mack was going to kill Ross apparently. He’s clearly forgetting the last few times Ross has kicked his backside!
Mack later returned home to Charity and told her he believed her. They insisted they were “unbreakable” (which is foreshadowing if ever we heard it) and made up. So how long until Charity’s in bed with Ross then?
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Liam won’t get rid of Ella easily (Credit: ITV)
Ella didn’t make it easy
Ella was moving out and Mandy was helping her. But Ella was adamant she was not leaving the surgery as well as her home. Liam tried to talk her out of it and felt working together might be a bit awkward. Ella did not and said she was taking the job, end of discussion.
Will John take Victoria’s advice? (Credit: ITV)
John brooded
Aaron was feeling glum over Seb and it’s brought up all sorts of memories for him. John overheard him confiding in Victoria and tried to lighten the mood, but Aaron sulked off. Victoria advised her brother to talk about his feelings to Aaron. That’s a new idea, isn’t it?!
But rather than talking, John took the brooding approach, worrying over how deeply involved Aaron and Robert really were – clearly he’s not aware of the Robron hashtag, eh? But will he take Vic’s advice and just ask Aaron about it?
Jade was not letting Ross off (Credit: ITV)
More fight club in Emmerdale tonight
Ross was clearly being followed, but not by Mackenzie, by someone who actually could take him on and frighten him. Jade was waiting with her heavies and they gave him a pasting before hanging him over a bridge. Ross is being made to fight again.
Jade then paid Dawn a visit and they bonded over wine, leaving Billy shocked and furious. He tried to stand up to Jade and even offered to help her out with money. Jade laughed in his face and threatened Dawn and the kids, leaving Billy with little choice but to face Ross in the ring again.
They both insisted this would be the last time and an end to it – and we really pray that it is because we can’t watch much more of it.
