  • What happened in Emmerdale on Thursday March 6: Two emotional funerals, two surprise ‘returns’ and three shocking secrets

    What happened in Emmerdale on Thursday March 6: Two emotional funerals, two surprise ‘returns’ and three shocking secrets

    It was an emotional episode of Emmerdale on Thursday March 6, as Amy and Leyla’s funerals took place following their tragic deaths in the limo crash last month.

    With both funerals taking place at the exact same time (who planned that?!) the villagers had to pick which one to attend. This affected Eric Pollard the most, who said both Amy and Leyla were like daughters to him, but he had to go to Leyla’s funeral in order to be there for grandson Jacob.

    Leyla’s voice could be heard throughout the episode and it seems she took several secrets to the grave…

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale last night (Thursday, March 6).

    The villagers said goodbye to Leyla

    Having planned her own funeral during the height of her addiction, Leyla’s coffin was carried by six hunky pallbearers to the sound of She’s A Lady. Some of the villagers wrongly assumed they’d been hired, but Belle quickly pointed out they were actually “friends” of Leyla’s. Oh-er!

    Leyla’s voice was heard saying, “Now that is what I call a Madonna moment. Lifted in the air by six hunks. Granted, I would have preferred it without the coffin, but a girl can’t always have everything.”

    Liam read a letter from Leyla, which she had written from a hospital bed while addicted to drugs. She said she hoped he’d never have to read the letter, that hopefully she’d quit that ‘poison’. “But obviously if you’re reading this, that hasn’t happened. I failed. I messed up time and time again,” she said.

    Leyla’s voice took over from Liam’s as she praised her son Jacob: “You’re kind and patient. Always there whenever I needed you, parenting me, when it should have been the other way round. Being your mother is a privilege. You have been a privilege.”

    At the graveside, Jacob echoed his mum’s word, saying: “You weren’t always the greatest mum, but what you were was my best friend.”

    RIP Leyla Millicent Harding.

    Amy’s funeral took place

    While Leyla’s funeral was fairly traditional, Amy’s funeral was an outside affair. Matty spoke about Amy in the present tense and explained that Amy loves nature.

    “I’m talking like Amy is still here. That’s because she is. She’s my soulmate,” he said. Sob! Victoria also spoke about Amy, telling the congregation that Amy was like a sister to her.

    Despite it being her daughter’s funeral, Kerry managed to keep it together and took over from Matty when he broke down during the reading.

    Cain, Mack, Vinny and Matty carried the coffin as Angels by Robbie Williams played. Maybe Amy would have preferred Leyla’s pallbearers?

    Tracy’s secret was revealed in Emmerdale Thursday March 6

    At the wake in the Woolpack, Eric thanked Tracy Robinson for being a big help and getting him through the day. With guilt written all over her face, it was clear she was hiding something.

    We soon became aware of exactly what… A flashback showed Leyla in the shop buying a bottle of fizz. As she handed Tracy the money, Tracy told her she had lipstick on her teeth.

    Leyla turned around and checked her face in a mirror. In the mirror, she could see what was going on behind her and spotted Tracy putting the £20 she’d just given her in her bra rather than in the till.

    Tracy told a shocked Leyla that she is broke because Nate has disappeared and pays no maintenance. Leyla told Tracy to put the money in the till and gave her another £20. Although grateful, Tracy admitted it wouldn’t touch the surface as she has probably stolen about 2 grand altogether. Will Eric ever discover the truth?

    Mary also has a secret

    Continuing to be a rock for Vanessa, privately Mary has been harbouring a secret. As Leyla’s voice spoke the words “It’s not fair how one little mistake can destroy something forever,” another flashback showed Mary and Suzy on the day of the limo crash.

    Suzy told Mary she needs to realise how special she is, telling her she is “Funny, wise and gorgeous”. Suzy then shocked Mary by revealing she wasn’t just being kind, it’s how she truly feels.

    Suzy admitted that she loved Vanessa, but said “that love… it’s not like what I feel for you”. Leyla then walked in on the two kissing.

    In the present day, Vanessa told Mary that she had been planning on proposing to Suzy. Vanessa asked Mary if she thought Suzy would have said yes. Mary lied and said that Vanessa was the one for Suzy. Is this another secret that Leyla has taken to the grave?

    Cain and Matty

    Cain and Matty fought and made up in Emmerdale Thursday March 6

    Still angry at Cain for cheating on his mum, Matty continued to snipe at Cain all day. At the Wake, things came to a head and Matty lashed out at Cain, telling him Amy would be turning in her grave.

    The two men moved to the toilets where Cain invited Matty to punch him, but said they had to stop the public animosity in front of Kyle.

    Cain went on to say that Matty wouldn’t be allowed to see Kyle if he was in that state. Matty was horrified as he believes Kyle is his only link left to Amy.

    The two men soon came to an understanding when Cain said he isn’t the enemy and he visibly moved Matty when he said: “As far as I’m concerned, you are my son.” Matty was later seen bonding with Kyle, as he shared a smile with Cain.

    Elsewhere in Emmerdale Thursday March 6

    Leyla was a busy lady on the day of the limo crash. On top of discovering Tracy and Mary’s secrets, another flashback showed that she also walked in on Manpreet looking at something on her laptop.

    Although we didn’t see the screen, a shocked Leyla exclaimed: “Is that you?” before Manpreet quickly shut the computer. In the present day, Manpreet received a text message from an unknown number claiming to know her dirty secret. Just what is Manpreet hiding?

    Meanwhile, Sarah did a pregnancy test and it came back positive. But with the funeral going on, she didn’t get a chance to talk to Jacob about it.

  • Matty to leave village after Amy death, new fan theory predicts

    Matty to leave village after Amy death, new fan theory predicts

    A new Emmerdale fan theory has suggested that Matty Barton could leave the village following the death of wife Amy. Matty was left devastated as Amy died in the aftermath of the limousine crash – succumbing to shock after a dip in a frozen lake.

    Amy initially seemed to be on the mend, but the trauma was too great. She died as Matty sat at her bedside, reiterating her love for him as she passed (while also cluing him into Nate’s body in the lake, which he didn’t seem to pick up on).

    Matty grieves following death of Amy on Emmerdale

    As of Friday’s episode, Matty was a wreck, sobbing over a picture of Amy in what should have been their home together. With Amy dead and plans for their life together having crumbled, what’s left for Matty in the village?

    A new fan theory has predicted that he might leave in the wake of Amy’s death.

    Matty to leave the village following Amy death, fan theory predicts

    Writing on a Reddit thread, one Emmerdale fan shared their prediction for Matty’s future.

    “I  was wondering if Matty would be too traumatized to stay in the village now that Amy is gone. Imagine going back to the house you just rented and planned to start a new and exciting life and now you return there alone. Who can stay there with Matty when everyone is paired off?” this fan wrote.

    Others weighed in on the possibility of Matty leaving, with one viewer writing on X: “Bye Amy, now let’s hope Matty leaves the village.”

    Elsewhere, others debunked the theory, pointing out that Matty was unlikely to leave with Kyle grieving his mum, and Moira still undergoing treatment after her brain cancer – not to mention dealing with Cain’s cheating bombshell.

    “Maybe eventually but for now he will want to be around for Moira and Kyle,” another fan wrote.

    “With his mother in the village and his uncle Mackenzie to support him, it’s unlikely that Matty would want to leave Moira. Especially after her surgery and the fallout from Cain’s infidelity. Leaving his stepson Kyle behind would also be difficult for him,” one viewer said.

    It seems likely that Matty will be sticking around – but what does his future hold?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Kyle learned the truth about Cain and Ruby as the village mourned its losses and Jacob blamed Noah

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Kyle learned the truth about Cain and Ruby as the village mourned its losses and Jacob blamed Noah

    The village began to grieve its losses in Emmerdale tonight (Friday, February 21), as the deaths of Suzy, Leyla and Amy were mourned by friends and loved ones. And, as Kyle picked up on an atmosphere between Cain and Moira, he learned the truth about his dad’s betrayal.

    Elsewhere, Caleb tried to ease relations between Ruby and Steph, and Noah struggled to piece together his past.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

    The village grieved in Emmerdale tonight

    As a new dawn broke in the village, Charity watched as the limousine was taken away on the back of a lorry. Mack was on hand to reassure her that it hadn’t been her fault, but the three deaths weighed heavy on her conscience.

    In the hospital, Pollard was desperate to get Jacob back home so he could begin grieving properly. Later, in the cafe, Sarah filled him in on what had happened with Noah.

    Meanwhile, at what should have been their new home, Matty sobbed over a picture of Amy. Kerry found him in a state of devastation over Amy’s death, grieving the family they’d been about to start.

    Elsewhere, Vanessa broke the news of Suzy’s death to Johnny. Thoughts of her own mortality running riot, Tracy spoke of how last night’s experience had made her wish that Nate were there. Oh, if only you knew, Trace…

    And, later that night, as Vanessa continued to mourn, Tracy decided to give Nate a call. Going straight through to voicemail, she left her ex a message, filling him in on what had happened over the last few days.

    Meanwhile, at the lake, a sinister hooded figure stood watch over the water. Beneath the surface, poor dead Nate remains, no closer to being found.

    Kyle learned the truth about Cain and Ruby

    Kyle found Cain asleep on the sofa. Having just lost his mum, he was worried that sick Moira would be next. She reassured Kyle that she was going nowhere, but he’d picked up on the atmosphere between the pair, and Moira was no closer to forgiving her cheating husband.

    Later, in the cafe, Mack confronted Cain over the affair. Unaware that Kyle had been in earshot, Mack unwittingly spread the village’s hottest piece of gossip – and the youth suddenly realised why Cain was in the doghouse.

    Cain and Mack tried to spin their way out of trouble, but it was too late – and the arguments and sleeping on the sofa all began to make sense. Refusing to go home with Cain, Kyle stormed over to Matty and Kerry, begging for a place to stay.

    The grieving mum and husband were in no place for house guests though, and Moira was forced to admit that Cain had cheated on her as she picked him up.

    Later, In the pub, Chas had some choice words for self-pitying Cain, who promptly headed off to do something stupid.

    Caleb tried to build bridges

    Caleb was feeling hopeful about the future, although he was worried that Cain and Aaron might have swapped notes on his plans to frame Cain for Anthony’s murder. Just then, Steph walked in, with more unpleasant words for her parents.

    Caleb tried to talk her around in the cafe, making it clear that the blame was entirely on Cain for taking advantage. Back home, he entreated Ruby to talk to Steph, encouraging her to tell her the full truth about what Anthony had done.

    He then left again, on mysterious business. Possibly joining Cain in doing something stupid?

    Noah looks confused on Emmerdale

    Noah tried to piece together the past

    In the hospital, confused Noah tried to make sense of his fractured memories. Still reasoning that someone had spiked him, he shared his suspicions with the police, who promised to question Jacob’s mate.

    Arriving back in the village, he was confronted by Jacob himself, who blamed him for his mother’s death – accusing him of being on drugs and lying about it to cover for the mess he’d caused.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Charles had the idea of arranging a vigil for the deceased. Can he bring the village together in their time of need?

  • Matty has a secret child in London, fan theory explored

    Matty has a secret child in London, fan theory explored

    According to Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Amy decides that she and Matty should adopt a child together. And fans think they know the reason Matty doesn’t seem too keen.

    Last April, Matty and Amy finally tied the knot. And since then, the couple have been sailing by (minus a few hiccups). But when Amy decides they should take things to the next level, Matty doesn’t react the way she hoped.

    Matty refuses to let the conversation last that long, and makes Amy feel guilty for even suggesting it. But a new fan theory suggests there might be a reason for his reaction.

    Matty doesn’t react well to adoption hopes in Emmerdale spoilers

    Family has always been a big thing to the Bartons. So Matty’s lack of interest in adopting is quite surprising.

    Years ago, before Matty transitioned, he was known as ‘Hannah Barton.’ ‘Hannah’ was last seen on our screens way back in 2012. Off-screen, ‘Hannah’ transitioned into Matty, before his first appearance in 2018.

    But a new fan theory suggests when Matty was still legally ‘Hannah’, he may have actually had a child.

    The fan shared their theory on X. They wrote: ‘Calling it now. What’s the betting that Matty doesn’t want to adopt because he already had a secret kid when he was ‘Hannah.’ He could have put the kid up for adoption when he was in London.”

    At some point during living in London, ‘Hannah’ made the decision to transition to Matty. But before that, ‘Hannah’ would have had enough time in London to have a child.

    Amy smiles at Matty as he looks deep in thought in Emmerdale

    Could Matty have a secret child?

    And in Soap Land nothing is out of the realm of possibility. So maybe Matty is afraid of old feelings creeping up on him?

    His time living in London isn’t something the show has explored much, other than the transition he made. So perhaps we’re about to get a deeper insight to what happened before he came back to the village.

    If it is the case that Matty has a child, that would mean his kid would be over the age of 7. Or could even be a teenager by now.

    So if he does have a secret child, why does he not tell Amy? And what will happen if it comes out?

    But if this isn’t the reason he doesn’t want to adopt – what actually is?

    Either way, it looks like Matty has some explaining to do.

    1. Moira is spiralling

    Moira’s life was shattered this month when she was diagnosed with a meningioma, a non-cancerous type of brain tumour. The mass in her head has caused her to suffer from seizures, memory loss, confusion and bouts of anger.

    Moira is currently dealing with a ‘watch and wait’ situation to see how the tumour grown. But it’s clear her health is getting worse. She’s experiencing frequent seizures and is having difficulty remembering what she did, when.

    In the aftermath of the terrifying barn fire, Moira suffered a seizure in front of husband Cain. A scan at the hospital detected a mass on her brain, and doctors revealed Moira had a meningioma, a type of non cancerous tumour.

    Medics have opted for a ‘wait and see’ approach to treatment, and Moira has said no to brain surgery. So now she’s left facing a very uncertain future. But despite her terror and fear, Moira is determined to carry on as normal. Her priorities are being a mum, wife, and of course, running her beloved Butlers.

    But has she underestimated the toll its going to take on her already fragile health?

    Moira makes a grave error at work

    Matty is deeply concerned for his mum’s wellbeing and decides to move in to keep a closer eye on her. Moira is annoyed when she sees her son arriving with a holdall and carries on insisting she’s fine.

    But that’s really not the case, and as Moira’s erratic behaviour continues, Mack and Matty make a worrying discovery.

    Mack finds Butlers’ flock of sheep have somehow escaped and accuses Moira of forgetting to shut them in properly. Moira agrees to stop going out alone, but it’s too little too late when Mack and Matty locate the sheep.

    They discover the majority of the flock are dead, and one is them is in a very bad state. Can the poor creature be saved?

    Moira turns to Ruby for support

    News of fatalities leaves Moira distraught as she struggles to remember how – or why – the sheep ended up escaping in the first place.

    But the upsetting incident is also a wake-up call, as Moira accepts she needs to take a break from farming and focus on her wellbeing.

    Afterwards, she reaches out to former nemesis Ruby, who’s also in distress after the death of her late mum, Helen. Ruby spent 30 years estranged from her parent before her passing.

    As the ladies get talking, Moira opens up about her health struggles, while Ruby discusses her mother’s cremation. Will their shared pain help give Moira and Ruby strength to carry on?
