    As Cain and Moira are caught in the explosion, who dies in the barn fire?

    An explosion rips through one of the barns in Emmerdale this evening, while Cain and Moira are trapped inside.

    As the force of the Emmerdale explosion knocks the shocked onlookers off their feet, things look bleak for everyone who’s nearby.

    But will everyone make it out alive? We took a look at everyone who’s there when the barn burns, and who could end up dead!

    As a frantic Caleb arrived at the barn in tonight’s episode, brave Mack was emerging from the flames holding Ruby. She may be out of the fire itself but she’s badly injured and was suffering from a head wound before the blaze took hold. Could she be one of the casualties?

    Will Moira die in the Emmerdale explosion?

    Moira started the fire when she fired her shotgun and caused sparks to ignite the petrol-soaked hay in the barn. But it’s clear she’s not herself and she was hallucinating when Ruby confronted her. With Moira already vulnerable and obviously unwell, will she even attempt to make it out of the flames?

    Cain

    Moira’s husband Cain has gone into the flames to rescue her but though Moira was more alert when he arrived, it looked grim. With their way out blocked by the fire and cans of petrol, it didn’t seem like there was any way to make it to safety. Undaunted, Cain wrapped a tarpaulin round them both and tried to get Moira to the door – just as the barn exploded. Will he make it out alive?

    Caleb

    Soaps are tricky things and sometimes you think someone is in dire straits, only to discover they’re fine and it’s the person who seemed okay all along, who’s in trouble. So while Caleb seemed to be only worried about Ruby, he was knocked off his feet when the barn exploded and we can’t help wonder if he might have injured himself?

    Will

    Still focused on his blackmailer’s relentless messaging, Will wandered off to take a phone call while the flames raged. He wasn’t with the others outside when the barn exploded. Was he too close for comfort? Could this be a really extreme way to put an end to his blackmailer’s demands?!

    Mackenzie

    Mack is not at his best right now, having just recovered from being attacked by a bull. He bravely ran into the flames to rescue Ruby but could this be the thing that finally finishes him off? He’s survived the bull, a stabbing, Meena’s maize maze blaze, the dramatic accident that saw his car plunge off a cliff, and the wrath of Charity when she found out he’d cheated. Is it going to be the barn fire that ends him once and for all?

    Could John be hurt in the Emmerdale explosion?

    Newcomer John is right there when the barn explodes. He seems unscathed as he sits up, shocked at what just happened. But he was inside the barn with Mack and smoke can cause a lot of damage. Is Victoria about to lose another brother?

    Chas and Cain run towards the burning barn

    Chas

    Chas may have stayed outside the barn, agonising over Cain’s bravery as he headed into the flames, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe. Could she have banged her head when she was thrown to the ground by the force of the flames? Perhaps she’s so worried about her brother she hasn’t even yet noticed her own injuries…

    Nate looks concerned
    Where is Nate? (Credit: ITV)

    Nate

    The last time we saw Nate, he said he was going to talk to Moira. We didn’t see him leave for Shetland and he’s not been seen since. Everyone in the village thinks he’s upped and gone. BUT… are we putting two and two together and coming up with five, if we say, perhaps he’s in the barn too? Or nearby somewhere? Perhaps he’s badly injured or even dead and no one knows to look for him!

    Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Smitten Aaron wants John to stay in the village

    In tonight’s Emmerdale spoilers, Aaron discovers John’s time in the village is drawing to a close.

    It’s his lover’s last day at Butlers, and Aaron realises he doesn’t actually want John to go. Neither bloke is known for their displays of affection, but will Aaron admit his true feelings?

    You don’t want to miss Emmerdale on Friday September 6.

    Aaron’s met his match in Emmerdale spoilers

    Aaron affair with grumpy newcomer John has been the surprise hit of the summer.

    It all started a few weeks back when Aaron informed Mack he was off to meet a man at a hotel. Enroute, he encountered John, whose van had broken down in a layby.

    As they got chatting, Aaron realised John was the man he’d arranged to meet. Flirting quickly turned to something more as Aaron and John enjoyed a roadside romp. Afterwards Aaron was left humiliated when John just drove off, leaving him stranded.

    When John then turned up in the village, Aaron wasn’t happy to see him. He also made a shocking discovery: John was a Sugden, and the half-brother of his ex-husband, Robert.

    Tensions have continued to rise between the pair and there have been plenty of heated exchanges. But is Aaron secretly loving the fact he’s met his match? Hell yes!

    Aaron and John’s affair is back on

    As well as rubbing Aaron up the wrong way, John has made an enemy in Mack.

    The pair’s churlish revenge game has escalated into something very dangerous. Mack was almost killed after an encounter with a bull at Butlers Farm. He told everyone that would listen it was John’s fault because he’d let the animal loose. In fact, the blame lay with Moira, but that’s another story.

    Aaron confronted John and accused him of harming his friend. But as the sexual tension sizzled, their quarrel ended in kissing.

    The affair is back on, but John’s days in Emmerdale could be numbered.

    Aaron fights his feelings in Emmerdale spoilers

    Aaron finds John packing up and is unsettled to learn it’s his last shift at the farm.

    John has been working there since Mack destroyed his campervan, which left him stranded in the village. Much like his late father Jack and the Sugdens before him, John has shown himself to be a natural farmer.

    When Aaron hears about John’s imminent departure he feels awkward. It’s clear he’s caught feelings for John, even if he’s too stubborn and sulky to admit it.

    Can Aaron find a way to ask John to stay? Or this the end for them? We hope not!

  • Deadwood alight: As more details about the barn fire emerge, here’s who we want to meet their maker

    Deadwood alight: As more details about the barn fire emerge, here’s who we want to meet their maker

    The village of Emmerdale is headed for disaster – with news of an upcoming barn fire set to leave lives hanging in the balance.

    This comes as an increasingly erratic Moira Dingle puts herself and Ruby in grave danger as she suffers visions of her old nemesis Emma Barton. Mistaking Ruby Fox-Miligan for Emma, Moira starts waving a shotgun around.

    And it’s while threatening Ruby that Moira inadvertently starts a fire. And, as the blaze catches hold, it’s not long before even more lives are in danger…

    But who’s on the chopping block? Here’s who we’d be happy to see go.

    Emmerdale barn fire: Nate

    With rumours spiralling of an impending exit for Nate Robinson, it seems as though his time on the soap is coming to an end. This week’s episodes saw Nate moot an exit to a new job in Scotland, leaving the village behind.

    Poor Nate has felt like dead wood for a while now. Sure, those biceps are nice to look at, but it doesn’t feel as though there’s much left for Nate in the village anymore – especially not with confused Moira once again coming between him and Cain.

    Will Nate live to make it to Scotland?

    Mack

    Dubbed ‘Mackrat’ by the fans, Mack has lost any fans he might have had following his affair with Chloe Harris. He got a comeuppance of sorts, last Christmas, when he was kidnapped by her dad, but fans still haven’t forgiven him for cheating on Charity.

    While it was satisfying seeing him get battered about by a bull in last week’s episodes of the soap, his rushing into the barn fire to save sister Moira could serve as a fine redemption for the character. A noble death for a character whose actions have been anything but.

    Emmerdale barn fire: Tom

    True, it wouldn’t make much sense for Tom King to be hanging around at the barn – and we know he’ll likely be hanging around for as long as Christmas anyway – but we can hope, can’t we?

    Following Tom’s campaign of abuse and coercive control against wife Belle, the man has emerged as one of the most hate-able soap villains of 2024. Fans are sure to be hoping for his exit, and with Tom appearing in the upcoming promo trailer… his death IS a possibility!

    Will

    Will’s in the bad books of viewers right now after cheating on Queen of Home Farm Kim Tate with Rose Jackson (quite the come down if we’re honest.)

    And, now someone’s tormenting him. But, as Will heads off to help the Dingles with the fire, we’re hoping that the fire finishes him off so that Kim can move on from the guy who has done nothing but drag her down as of late!

    Emmerdale spoilers: Lives of multiple villagers hang in the balance as barn explodes

    In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, lives are on the line as a huge explosion rips through a barn at Butlers. The blaze takes hold at the farm during a terrifying showdown between Ruby and Moira – who’s unhinged and wielding a shotgun!

    Cain and a number of other villagers rush to the pair’s aid, but the building explodes into a fireball!

    Who will escape the inferno alive? And will anyone perish in the flames?

    Moira is on the edge in Emmerdale spoilers

    Viewers will know now that Moira is very unwell. She’s been experiencing seizures and other worrying symptoms that no one has yet been able to get to the bottom of.

    Moira is also gripped by jealousy and paranoia and has taken her fury out on sister-in-law Ruby. She wrongly accused Ruby of having an affair with Cain after seeing them looking cosy.

    But now it’s Cain who suspects he’s been cheated on after Caleb reveals he saw Moira kissing Nate. Enraged by the betrayal, Cain attacks Nate then confronts Moira. An argument breaks out, which results in Moira slapping her husband.

    Afterwards, Moira is standing in one of the barns at Butlers when Ruby comes in. What happens next sets in motion a devastating – and potentially fatal – chain of events…

    Butlers barn is ablaze

    As stressed Moira ends up spilling tractor fuel in the barn, she starts to experience terrifying hallucinations. She grabs a shotgun, and padlocks the barn, trapping her and Ruby inside.

    Things quickly escalate, causing Moira to fire a warning shot in the air – which hits a light bulb and causes a spark to ignite the tractor fuel.

    Moira freezes in panic and horror as a ferocious blaze starts to rip through the barn, while Ruby is left lying on the ground.

    From afar, Mack sees the smoke coming from the barn. He’s unable to make contact with Moira so races towards the scene on his quad bike.

    Arriving at the barn, he’s met by John – and the plucky pair venture inside to rescue Moira and Ruby. Will their decision prove to be a fatal one?

    A huge explosion puts lives at risk

    A call from Mack notifies Cain, Caleb and Chas of the dangerous situation.

    As the siblings arrive at Butlers, petrified Cain dashes towards the burning barn. He knows Moira is inside and is desperate to save her  – but Chas pulls Cain back, terrified of him risking his own life.

    Moments later, BOOM! There’s a gigantic explosion that throws those outside of the barn to the ground. But what has happened to the unlucky villagers trapped inside? Have John and Mack managed to reach Moira and Ruby in time? Or have they all met their maker?

    Is tragedy about to strike?

  • Forget Charity, could Mack and Aaron be the soap’s hottest new couple?

    Forget Charity, could Mack and Aaron be the soap’s hottest new couple?

    Viewers of Emmerdale will be well aware that Mack is married to Charity, although he actually spends very little time with his wife it seems.

    Yes, Mack actually sees more of his bestie Aaron and his new enemy John Sugden. Poor Charity hardly gets a look in.

    But, why does Mack feel the need to be around Aaron 24/7? Are they really just best mates? Or, is a certain someone jealous of John?

    Aaron and Mack laugh and look smug
    Look at that smile! (Credit: ITV)

    Mack and Aaron: The biggest bromance is the Dales

    So, we’re not entirely sure how Aaron stands to be around Mack as often as he does but the guy must have an extremely high tolerance to annoying mechanics, we guess.

    Nevertheless, everyone knows that Mack and Aaron are inseparable. Even Charity’s had the pleasure of making some jokey comments about Mack’s bromance.

    But, is a bromance all it is? Currently, Mack’s world is revolving around John Sugden. Starting up a feud with him, Mack was loving teaming up with Aaron to scheme against Victoria’s half-brother.

    Mack had the biggest smile on his face as he and Aaron ended up driving John’s van into a lake. And, Mack was kind of hoping that Aaron would be on his side when bull-gate happened.

    Instead of confronting John about Mack’s accident though, Aaron ended up giving into temptation in a passionate moment with John.

    Of course, when Mack found out about this he was livid and had a right go at Aaron for failing to have his back. When Aaron later informed Mack that he and John weren’t a thing, Mack couldn’t hide his joy (if only he knew that John was hiding in the flat ready to get it on with his best friend just moments later!) But, do Mack’s concerns over John only come from a place of friendship?

    Does Mack have feelings for Aaron? (Credit: ITV)

    John jealousy for Mack?

    With Aaron sneaking off to spend more time with John, Mack’s not going to be happy that he’s seeing less of his mate, is he?

    This feud with John seems a bit pointless now considering that Mack was only ever getting revenge on John for Aaron in the first place. But, with Aaron making amends with John now, what reason does Mack have to keep the vendetta going?

    Well, could it be because Mack’s jealous of John? Does he actually have romantic feelings for his friend and is desperate to get John out of the picture?

    Aaron and Mack look like they're having a great time in Emmerdale as they taunt John
    The chemistry is obvious (Credit: ITV)

    Mack and Aaron: The hottest new Emmerdale couple?

    Whenever Mack’s with Charity in a scene, he’s always moaning about something. The person who lets him be his true, authentic and (absolutely infuriating) self just has to be Aaron.

    There’s no denying that Mack and Aaron make a good team. They’re like the rhubarb to each other’s custard… And, we reckon that Mack realising that he’s also into men as well as women and starting a relationship with Aaron could just be the next best thing in soap!

    Maybe this would give us a reason as to why Mack acts like a jealous teenager around John… Does he have the hots for Aaron? We hope so!

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

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

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

    Because everyone’s just been SO annoying.

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

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

    Emmerdale: Worried Dawn delivers news to Will in the kitchen at Home Farm
    Dawn’s annoyed with her dad (Credit: ITV)

    Dawn’s whining – again

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Moira looks furious (Credit: ITV)
    It’s obvious to everyone that something’s not right with Moira (Credit: ITV)

    Cain’s a big let down in our Emmerdale review

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

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

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

    We’re sorry the bull didn’t finish Mack off (Credit: ITV)

    Mack’s mouthing off

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

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

    Ah well, maybe next time, eh?

    Jai Sharma and Caleb Miligan join forces in Emmerdale

    Jai’s an idiot

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

    Well. Sort of.

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

    Unexpected treats

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Mack made a quick recovery

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

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

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

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

    Aaron and John got it on

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

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

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

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

    Jai made peace

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

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

    Tracy Robinson and Nate Robinson have a chat in the kitchen in Emmerdale

    Emmerdale tonight: Tracy was jealous

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

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

    Jimmy backtracked

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

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

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

    Will feared his tormentor

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

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

  • Emmerdale barn fire: Everyone at risk of death as soap drops explosive new promo

    Emmerdale barn fire: Everyone at risk of death as soap drops explosive new promo

    Emmerdale has shared a dramatic first look at the upcoming barn fire that will put several villagers’ lives in danger.

    The fire will send shockwaves through the village, with the promo teasing that secrets will be revealed.

    In recent weeks, Moira has been acting strangely and drinking, causing her family to worry. It is her actions that set off the devastating chain of events… But who exactly is in danger in the Emmerdale barn fire?

    Moira

    In the short, thirty second teaser released by Emmerdale, Moira appears to be in the thick of the action.

    First spotted kissing Nate (and on the end of some threatening words from him: “If you blab about what happened when you’re half cut”), she’s soon seen wielding a shotgun, shooting out a light, and dishing out a slap.

    She’s also foremost in Cain’s thoughts – will the barn inferno finally be the moment everything burns to the ground for Moira?

    Ruby looks unhappy

    Ruby

    Ruby barely features in the trailer, which could be a diversion away from expectations for her getting caught up in it?

    The contemptible villainess has also been part of Emmerdale for less than a year, however. And while we reckon plenty of fans would be glad to see the back of her, we’ve an awful feeling our heartstrings are in for a fiercer plucking…

    Nate

    Oh dear, oh dear – it isn’t looking great for hunky Nate. With reports suggesting Nate is on his way from Emmerdale, and just as if it looks like his relationship with Tracy might be healed (he’s locking lips with her in the trailer), soap sod’s law probably means Nate will cark it… just as a happy ending (even if he managed to patch it up with Tracy and convince her to relocate to Scotland with him) seemed to be a possibility…

    “See that’s the problem, I want you to come with me,” Nate is heard telling someone – presumably Tracy, as the voiceover airs over footage of them kissing.

    Is Nate doomed?

    Tom

    Again, Tom is another Emmerdale regular many fans might not be sad to see fall victim to the fire. After all, he’s probably guaranteed a trip to the burning depths of hell anyway, for how he’s abused Belle.

    That gaslighting and manipulation is on show again in the trailer, as he is seen placing a hand over her mouth, and also telling her: “You look so beautiful when you cry.”

    What a creep! Tom’s also seen collapsing with a head wound. Could this be his bloody end?

    Caleb speaks

    Caleb

    When it comes to stacking up bad karma, Caleb may have picked up more through the sharing of bad vibes than any of other Emmerdale rotters caught up in the fire.

    “I saw Moira with Nate, kissing,” he is heard saying in voiceover, to an unidentified someone else.

    Loose lips can sink ships, as they say. And in this case, it isn’t Moira and Nate’s lips – but chatting about them instead could prove damning for Caleb.

    Seen sneaking around the barn, Caleb may also be among the three figures – it is hard to definitely say who is who at the end of the trailer. But one outline certainly does look like him… and goes limp as an explosion goes off!

    Mack

    Similarly, we’re not sure whether Mack might be one of the three spied at the end of the teaser. One may be Caleb, and another appears to be John, possibly.

    Additionally, Mack might be the person who appears to have a burning ceiling beam drop on them… or is that Nate?

    After his recent close encounter with a bull, has Mack’s luck in defying death run out?

    John

    John‘s only just joined Emmerdale in recent months, so we’re hopeful that could mean a thumbs up for his prospects. But we’re not sure, even though it could indicated he will escape death in the barn.

    He looks to be very involved, though. “Call the fire brigade now, tell them someone’s trapped,” he’s heard saying, sounding like a man attempting to get control of a situation.

    But other glimpses in the trailer show nobody is in control. And does he end up trapped himself when an explosion goes off?

    Belle

    As if being in the clutches of the mad, bad, and dangerous to know Tom isn’t enough to keep Belle occupied, the drama keeps on building as she looks to be in a right state as flames lick around her.

    Not only does Tom appear to restrain her at one point, she is also shown to be out for the count with the blaze mere feet away.

    Could Belle’s words in voiceover end up as her own eulogy? “I love you so much. And that love is never going to go away,” she is heard to say.

    Tracy

    Is anyone guaranteed a happy ending in Soapland? Just as if it seems like Tracy and Nate might be able to get things back on track with Nate, it seems like he might relocate to Scotland.

    Then, going by the trailer, it seems like Caleb hasn’t finished causing trouble for Nate – and the fears of Nate departing the soap in a coffin seem very real.

    If Nate leaves, could Tracy be set for an exit, too?

    Cain looks aghast

    Cain

    He doesn’t feature all that much in the trailer – and he’s certainly outlasted many Emmerdale veterans in similarly hazardous situations – but Cain‘s luck can’t last forever.

    Moira, as ever, appears to be a catalyst for trouble. And like a moth attracted to the flame, Cain is pulled into danger as he’s seen desperately calling his wife’s name as he arrives at the fiery scene, and also peering through flames.

    Will looks unhappy

    Will

    Despite his prominence in Emmerdale’s biggest storylines, Will‘s presence in the teaser is a relatively small one.

    As with Ruby, that could be part of a soap plot red herring – not giving too much away in the trailer.

    But, as he often appears, Will has a look full of regret in the preview. He’s been having a really rough go of it recently. Could a terrible death in the burning barn be the full stop to his miserable time in Emmerdale?

  • As Mack takes on a bull and loses, other animals that have caused chaos in Emmerdale!

    As Mack takes on a bull and loses, other animals that have caused chaos in Emmerdale!

    There’s a lot of drama in Emmerdale and often it’s caused by animals! Mack took on a bull – and lost – in this week’s episodes, ending up with a slightly anti-climactic bump on the head. And giving Moira another memory lapse to worry about, too.

    Perhaps not surprisingly, seeing as Emmerdale is set in the countryside, Mack’s bull isn’t the first animal to cause chaos in the show.

    Here’s our round-up of some of the most memorable!

    Missing Minty the lamb

    Soft-hearted Isaac Dingle was horrified when he did a farm visit with his mum and discovered the runt of the lambs would be killed. Despite mum Moira’s misgivings, Isaac managed to persuade his dad Cain to let him have Minty as a pet. Isaac adored him so when he went missing during the summer fair he was distraught! Somehow, the youngster convinced the whole village to join in the search for the lamb. And to everyone’s surprise, it was Kim Tate who found the little lamb.

    Sadly, Minty didn’t last long, leaving Isaac devastated, and accusing his parents of killing his pet!

    Moira’s murderous moos

    The spectacular storm in October 2022 left Liv Flaherty and Al Chapman dead. During the high winds, the barn housing Moira’s cows collapsed and the terrified animals stampeded.

    Sam Dingle and Nate Robinson were forced to flee from the cows. Sam leaped over a hay bale to escape and ended up impaled on a tractor! Fortunately he recovered from his animal ordeal almost as quickly as Mack did.

    Ice the vengeful horse

    Evil Craig manipulated Lydia, and then raped her, leaving her life shattered and her marriage in tatters. So when he ended up dead, no one was very sorry.

    And it turned out, Craig had lost his life at the hooves of another chaos-causing Emmerdale animal – Kim Tate’s horse, Ice.

    Marlon Dingle's, as played by Mark Charnock, gutted to realise he's accidentally poisoned Arnold (gerbil) and Paddy Kirk, as played by Dominic Brunt, helps him replace him. However, Jessie, as played by Sandra Marvin, reveals that Arnold has cancer, Marlon's quick to suggest they don't put him down, knowing this particular gerbil is perfectly healthy.

    Arnold the miracle gerbil

    Marlon’s wife Jessie brought the school gerbil, Arnold, home to look after during the holidays. But when Marlon and Paddy were in charge, Marlon accidentally poisoned Arnold and the gerbil died. Aww!

    The quick-thinking mates, though, found another gerbil that looked the same as Arnold, and brazened it out.

    Until New Arnold gave birth! It turned out he was actually a she and she was pregnant when Marlon bought her.

    Emma Barton’s chicken of doom

    Emmerdale viewers knew Emma Barton was losing her mind when she held husband James hostage.

    In scenes reminiscent of the Stephen King story, Misery, Emma made sure James stayed put. And the horror really ramped up when she appeared in her blood-splattered wedding dress, clutching a chicken she’d just slaughtered.

    Emma’s rampage through the village was just beginning!

  • Emmerdale tonight: Bull-gate sent Mack to hospital, Arthur returned, and so did Kim!

    Emmerdale tonight: Bull-gate sent Mack to hospital, Arthur returned, and so did Kim!

    In Emmerdale tonight, Mack had a very unfortunate run in with a bull (no, not in a china shop but in the barn.)

    Elsewhere, Arthur returned from his holibobs Down Under and made one not-so-scary threat to Jai.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday, August 29.

    Bull-gate left Mack in a bad way

    So, tonight, Mack declared that he was a ‘more handsome and less annoying’ version of John (less annoying Mack? Don’t kid yourself!)

    This comment aside, things actually got pretty serious for Mack as his feud with John continued.

    With John and Nate telling him that they’d moved the bull onto the field so that he could fix a quadbike in the barn safely, Mack got a right surprise when he came face to face with the bull… in the barn!

    Suddenly being chased by the bull (and he wasn’t even wearing red), Mack made a run for it and jumped over the barn gate but… he ended up slipping and hitting his head on the ground.

    Nate came running to his rescue but Mack ensured him that he was fine. Instead, he was adamant that John had placed the bull there to get revenge on him for destroying his van (and who could blame him?!)

    Later on, Charity suggested that they got revenge on John and honestly we would’ve loved to see it. But, the pair didn’t have chance to finalise a plan as Mack ended up collapsing.

    Charity then ended up accompanying Mack in the ambulance whilst ranting at Aaron… Why Aaron? We’ll get to that next!

    Vic got more than she bargained for

    So, after finding out about Mack’s incident, Aaron went to confront John to see whether he’d been responsible for the bull in the barn.

    However, John managed to change the topic of conversation, drawing him in for a kiss.

    They definitely were prepared to take things further but were awkwardly stopped in their tracks when Vic turned up at the barn and saw her brother about to get it on with her former brother-in-law. Poor Vic!

    Whilst Aaron made it clear tonight that he ‘doesn’t do dates,’ it looks like a potential romance could be brewing between the Dingle and Sugden. Oooohhhh!

    With all of this going on, Aaron simply didn’t realise that Mack’s injuries were more serious than first thought hence Charity’s rage.

    Arthur’s back and he’s out to get Jai

    After living it up in the sun, Arthur finally came back to the Dales just as Gabby and Vinny were having a romantic moment.

    Laurel was absolutely thrilled to see Arthur, flinging her arms around him. But, it wasn’t long before he found out everything about Jai and Laurel’s messy divorce.

    He then went to pay Jai a little visit and told him to make things right with Laurel or he’d have him to answer to. Now, unless Arthur has undergone a huge personality change during his time away, we doubt Jai felt very threatened by this.

    Kim’s back, but Will’s being tormented

    The Queen of Home Farm returned to the Dales tonight after her time away in Dubai.

    Will told Dawn the news but she wasn’t really impressed… (Well, at least we thought that it called for the ‘Breaking News’ klaxon, Dawn…)

    Back at home, Will prepared a romantic surprise for Kim but ended up receiving some flowers with a note from a tormentor… Quickly hiding the note, Will handed the roses to Kim and said that he’d got them for her. Kim had a double sniff of the flowers and everything seemed to be rosy once again between the couple.

    Emmerdale tonight: Jimmy was ready to sell up

    Jimmy realised that it was time to sell the Haulage, offering the business to Caleb.

    However, Gabby warned Jimmy about handing it over to Caleb. There must be a reason why Caleb would want a crumbling business, and it probably wasn’t a good one. You listen to Gabby, Jimmy!

    Moira visited Liam at the surgery

    After having another funny moment when trying to tell Chas that she’d left some sausages in the Woolpack fridge, Moira realised that she needed to be seen to.

    She then asked for Manpreet at the surgery but Liam would have to do. Whilst describing her symptoms to Liam, she zoned out.

    Liam admitted that Moira could be suffering from the menopause but there were countless numbers of other conditions that also had similar symptoms. He then referred Moira to Wendy for some blood tests. Hopefully, this will help her get to the bottom of things because we’re all very concerned about her!
