    1. Matty is targeted by Robbo

    Incarcerated Matty is relieved to hear that Samson has told the police he didn’t stab him on purpose. But any hope Matty had of walking free  straight away are dashed when the guards escort him back to his cell.

    Transphobic bully Robbo is waiting for him and delights in telling Matty his time behind bars isn’t over yet. Taunting him with name calling and violent threats, things are not looking good for Matty.

    What fresh hell does Robbo have in store for his victim? Has Samson’s confession come too late?

    2. Cain and Sam clash – again!

    Meanwhile, Cain arrives at Wishing Well Cottage to ensure Samson isn’t planning on doing another runner.

    Tensions are high between Cain and Sam following their violent exchange, and the brothers wind up fighting again.

    Cain isn’t in a forgiving mood and Samson fears what might happen when he’s left alone with his uncle.

    4. Rose ups the ante with her plan

    Rose is panicking that Will is going to tell Kim she tried to kiss him. But that’s the least of her worries when she overhears Will telling his wife it’s time Rose moved out!

    Fearing this will derail her and Ruby’s masterplan, Rose creates a diversion by setting one of Kim’s horses loose!

    Afterwards, Rose meets up with a shifty dealer, who hands her a vial of horse tranquiliser. With the drugs in her possession, Rose intends to use them to entrap Will.

    5. It’s decision time for Rose

    As the reality of what she’s about to do hits, Rose realises just how much her family means to her.

    Later, Evan is discharged from hospital and emotional Dawn allows herself to call Rose ‘mum’ for the first time.

    Hearing that longed-for word pricks Rose’s conscience as she privately acknowledges how appalling her plan is. But with so much at stake whichever way she turns, Rose knows she’s got a difficult decision to make.

  • Review of the week: Dawn whinges, Matty left terrified and finally some laughs from Mandy and Rhona

    Review of the week: Dawn whinges, Matty left terrified and finally some laughs from Mandy and Rhona

    It’s been a complicated week in Emmerdale as we review everything that’s gone one. Things have been looking bleak for Matty in prison, Dawn is struggling to cope with Evan’s illness, and Lydia made an awful realisation.

    But there has been one unexpected moment of fun in among all the misery.

    Here’s what’s been going on.

    Dawn and Billy’s anguish

    It’s been tough seeing Dawn and Billy coping with baby Evan’s leukaemia diagnosis. This week things got even trickier for the pair when Billy broke the protective ‘bubble’ at Home Farm and the little lad ended up back in hospital with a temperature.

    It’s not been easy for Dawn and Billy – and it’s not easy for us viewers either! In fact, this whole storyline feels like a slog. Dawn’s a devoted mum, doing her best, but she’s being a bit, well, annoying. Surely it’s unrealistic to expect a whole family to put their lives on hold for what could be years? Kim can’t run weddings at Home Farm, putting a big dent in their income. Billy can’t do his personal training, even Clemmie and Lucas are being half-heartedly home-schooled, by people who don’t know what a fronted adverbial is or how to calculate 10 per cent of something.

    And by the end of the week, Dawn had even forgotten Clemmie’s birthday (which seems unlikely, to be honest, as she loves her daughter fiercely), giving Rose a chance to save the day, while Kim was out in the cold.

    Sadly we feel Dawn’s constant whining is making us far less sympathetic to what should be a heart-wrenching story.

    As visiting time ends, Amy’s [NATALIE ANN-JAMIESON] glad Matty Barton [ASH PALMISCIANO] is more positive. As she watches him go, she’s approached by Robbo [JOHN O’NEILL], who she mistakes for Les.

    Matty’s torment

    There’s not much happiness in the Dales this week and Matty’s prison horror is heaping misery on the misery. This week, his wife Amy accidentally landed him in it when she inadvertently revealed he was trans to prison bully Robbo.

    The next thing we saw was poor Matty battered and bruised in the prison infirmary. Though shockingly, he admitted he’d asked his cellmate Les to beat him up as hospital was the only place he feels safe. It’s a tricky situation for Matty, there’s no doubt. He’s determined to stay put in the cell, but frankly we reckon if it was us in that situation, we’d be running to that isolation wing as fast as our legs would carry us.

    And there is a bright side to Matty’s torment – at least while he’s banged up, he doesn’t have to listen to Dawn whining, eh?

    Kidnap!

    Meanwhile ferocious mum Moira was on the warpath, trying to force the truth out of Samson. She even went as far as kidnapping the lying lad – with some help from brother Mack – in an attempt to get him to admit Matty didn’t stab him.

    But no, Samson’s staying schtum for now at least. In fact, he even managed to persuade Moira he was going to confess and instead he dropped her right in it with the police! What a snake!

    We can’t help thinking Samson’s not being especially savvy. Is he really more scared of Josh than he is of Moira? Moira who killed Emma Barton and let her son take the blame? That Moira? Foolish choice, Samson. Foolish!

    Lydia’s on to Samson now,  though, and she can be just as fierce as Moira, though a lot less handy with her fists, so we reckon it’s only a matter of time before Samson fesses up. Which is good news for those of us who are finding new, evil bestie Josh, intensely annoying!

    I’ll tell you what I want

    Rhona and Mandy’s odd feud seemed a bit forced at first and we weren’t totally on board with it. BUT! What we were totally on board with was the making up. The pair were set up by barmaid Gail after Marlon and Paddy begged her to sort out the beef between them.

    And it worked! Before long, the women were necking drinks and sharing stories, and heading into town. In fact, we didn’t see them again until they were staggering home in the early hours – crossing paths with Moira and Mack who’d been at the cop shop.

    When Rhona woke up at Paddy and Mandy’s later, she was in a bad way! She even discovered she had a sore back. “What did I do?” she asked. What she did – apparently – was get a tattoo of a Spice Girl! Possibly, Posh. Maybe Sporty. Mandy wasn’t sure. Either way, it was some much-needed light-relief in the midst of all this week’s misery!

    Zig-ah-zig-ah, indeed.

  • Emmerdale spoilers: Sam punches Cain as Samson’s lies are exposed

    Emmerdale spoilers: Sam punches Cain as Samson’s lies are exposed

    In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Samson Dingle admits the truth about his stabbing to the police after weeks of, frankly frustrating, lying.

    But the confession leaves the Dingles in a right state. Sam and Cain are still at war and Sam soon turns violent. Meanwhile it causes problems for Sam and Lydia after she was instrumental in Samson coming clean.

    Can the Dingles come together – or has this torn them apart for good?

    Sam at war with his family

    So the truth is out that Matty did not in fact stab Samson in cold blood, but accidentally when Josh pushed Samson on to Matty. The Dingles are a house divided over the revelation, however.

    On one side is Sam, who is determined that Samson can’t get in trouble for this and must do the Dingle thing and run away. On the other is moral Lydia who is insistent Samson cannot evade the law.

    As Sam and Samson have a secret meet-up, Lydia shows up and pleads with Samson to do the right thing. He eventually does and tells the police what really happened.

    Sam is furious at everyone, Lydia for making Samson own up and Moira and Cain for reasons unknown when his son is clearly in the wrong.

    Sam loses it in Emmerdale spoilers

    Lydia faces the Dingle family, but stands her ground knowing she did the right thing. Meanwhile, Moira is feeling hopeful, but Sam makes it clear how angry he is with her.

    Sam then comes face to face with Cain and for some reason lamps his brother one, punching Cain to the floor. Will Cain let this one go?

    What Cain’s really concerned about is that Samson doesn’t try to do a runner again. Samson is left alone with his uncle and is nervous about what will happen – can’t say we blame him.

    Will Cain exact revenge? Or leave that to the authorities?

    Danger for Matty

    Meanwhile, in prison, Matty is relieved to hear that Sam has confessed, but what little hope he has is soon forgotten when he finds Robbo waiting for him.

    He goads him with transphobic threats and cowers in fear. As other inmates join in, has Samson’s confession come too late to save Matty’s life?
