  • Review of the week: Tina’s Vinny’s mum! Amelia’s a disappointment! And Nicola could save the day!

    Review of the week: Tina’s Vinny’s mum! Amelia’s a disappointment! And Nicola could save the day!

    Our Emmerdale review this week is a mix of hope and disappointment.

    Emmerdale is a real rollercoaster right now with moments of pure brilliance, whether that’s the emotions of the aftermath of Zak’s death, or the tension of Tom’s cruelty.

    But there have been some other times this week where we’ve been left confused or just downright disappointed!

    Here’s what we thought of it all in our Emmerdale review.

    Tina is Vinny’s mum! Whaaaaat?!

    The big news of this week is that Tina Dingle is Vinny’s mum. The reveal was delivered in such a throwaway fashion that despite being life-long Emmerdale fans who never miss an episode, we thought we’d missed this.

    We totally understand why Mandy’s worried about Vinny finding out after keeping this secret for so long.

    But what we don’t understand is why it was a secret in the first place?! Why wouldn’t Vinny know who his mum is? Has he never asked? Did he not sneak a look at his birth certificate at any point? Perhaps when he was getting married, or applying for a passport, or a driving licence… you see our point.

    And there’s more to this story too – read on for the rest of our questions in our Emmerdale review!

    Who’s Vinny’s dad?

    When Tina left Emmerdale, it was due to Frank Tate’s relentless sexual harassment. That’s led to some fans speculating that Vinny could be Frank’s son. It’s unlikely, given that Tina was not into Frank, but we’re not hating this theory – mostly because it might finally put an end to Caleb’s big old tantrum about the dad he never met.

    Belle’s mental health crisis

    Sometimes when an actor’s been in a soap for yonks you start taking them for granted a bit. But there was a moment this week – when Belle was talking to her dead dad beside his grave – when we were flooded with admiration for Eden Taylor-Draper, who’s played Belle since 2005.

    She is smashing it out of the park every episode and we think she’s great.

    Amelia is the worst in our Emmerdale review

    Meanwhile, back in the village, Amelia continued her unquestioning support of Tom, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Her glee at Belle being admitted to the mental health ward was decidedly un-Christian and frankly, we’re disappointed in her.

    Putting two and two together

    But elsewhere, Nicola’s Spidey-senses have FINALLY kicked in as she’s realised something’s up with son Carl. Will she be the one member of the King family to work out that Tom’s not the victim? Let’s hope so.

    And then there’s Sam who made everything a lot worse when he launched himself at Tom, but who did remember that Tom stalked Chas back when he was a troubled teen.

    Perhaps if any of the Dingles had remembered that sooner and raised some concerns, Belle wouldn’t be in this mess now, eh?! Just saying.

    Make it make sense in our Emmerdale review

    So, Billy’s spending his days training with Mack and John, and his evenings in crowded venues fighting in unregulated boxing matches.

    Visitors come and go at the family’s new home – whether it’s Will, Kim, or others.

    But despite all that Clemmie and Lucas are still being home-schooled – half-heartedly because Dawn’s always focusing on the laundry basket rather than anyone’s lessons – due to Evan’s illness? It makes no sense to us. Send the poor kids back to school, for everyone’s sake!

  • Fans rejoice as Nicola becomes suspicious of Tom – but, will she be the one to bring him down?

    Fans rejoice as Nicola becomes suspicious of Tom – but, will she be the one to bring him down?

    He’s been getting away with his behaviour for far too long – but last night’s Emmerdale (Thursday, October 24) saw Nicola grow suspicious of Tom. This came as she realised that little Carl seemed to be scared of cousin Tom.

    As the pair played with his remote control car outside, Carl would rather be anywhere else than with Tom – even, it seemed, doing chores.

    Noticing how he seemed to tense up whenever Tom was around, Nicola smelled a rat. Her steely expression as the episode ended seemed to suggest that she knows something is amiss… and, knowing Nicola, she’ll stop at nothing to get answers.

    Could Nicola be the beginning of the end for Tom?

    ‘Nicola will annihilate Tom’ say fans as her suspicions grow

    As scenes aired last night, fans were overjoyed to see Nicola start to cotton on to slimy Tom. And many found themselves hoping that she’ll be the one to bring Tom to justice.

    “Come on Nicola!! Be Belle’s hero!!!! Pleeeeeease!!!!,” begged one fan.

    “At last! Nicola’s sussing something is up!!,” cheered another.

    “Or maybe Tom’s not as innocent as he makes out” NICOLA LET’S GO,” exclaimed a third viewer.

    “Nicola is nothing but protective of her children. She will annihilate Tom,” a fourth predicted.

    Will Nicola get to the bottom of things… or can Tom wriggle his way out of trouble yet again?

    Emmerdale next week: Nicola takes action

    In Emmerdale spoilers next week, Nicola questions Carl after noticing the tension between him and Tom. Carl starts to open up to her, but soon clams up when Tom arrives home.

    Afterwards, Nicola confronts Tom – threatening to call the police as their argument escalates. With the fight between Nicola and Tom raging on, Jimmy grows increasingly worried by what he’s hearing.

    Can she convince Jimmy that Tom isn’t as sweet and innocent as he claims to be?

  • Emmerdale is not on tonight – here’s why and when it’s back

    Emmerdale is not on tonight – here’s why and when it’s back

    In sad news for Emmerdale fans, the ITV soap won’t be airing tonight (Friday, October 25). Instead, the Friday evening ITV1 schedule will be disrupted by the Women’s International Football, which will be on between 7pm and 10pm.

    That means neither Emmerdale nor Coronation Street will be on tonight. Last night saw the last episode of the week as Nicola began to suspect that Tom was up to something, an angry Sam waded in and made the situation worse, and Billy prepared to fight again. Meanwhile, Belle continued to struggle with her mental health, which reached an all-time low.

    But when is Emmerdale on next?

    Emmerdale isn’t on tonight – here’s when it’s back

    Emmerdale resumes business as usual next week, returning to its usual daily time slot on ITV1 at 7.30pm. Furthermore, new episodes will be released at 7am on weekdays for those who want to get their fix nice and early.

    In the meantime, you can stream any previous episodes of Emmerdale, or Classic Emmerdale, on ITVX now.

    Here’s what’s to come on Emmerdale next week

    Nicola has begun to realise that Carl’s recent behaviour is related to Tom. Noticing that he seems to be scared of Tom, Nicola sits the youngster down for a chat. However, he clams up when Tom returns home unexpectedly.

    Confronting Tom, Nicola demands to know what’s been going on. But when she threatens him with the police, Nicola’s accusations lead to marital discord between her and Jimmy. Can she convince her husband that Tom isn’t as sweet and innocent as he’s been making out?

    Elsewhere, Billy realises that he has gotten out of his depth when Jade forces him into another fight. And, as she lays out the rules of the underground fight club, the grave danger of his situation finally sinks in. Can Billy walk away in one piece?

    And, as Moira prepares to undergo surgery to have her brain tumour removed, she and Cain say their goodbyes.

  • As Nicola grows suspicious of Tom, his comeuppance is on the way – here’s what we know

    As Nicola grows suspicious of Tom, his comeuppance is on the way – here’s what we know

    In recent weeks, Emmerdale fans have become more annoyed as Tom King continues to get away with his abusive behaviour towards Belle. But is Nicola about to catch him out?

    Tom’s abuse of Belle has been an ongoing story for the last year, with producers not wanting to rush such an important issue.

    However, we’ll soon be able to celebrate as Tom’s comeuppance is on the way.

    Emmerdale: Tom and Belle abuse story

    After 10 years away from the village Tom returned to Emmerdale in April 2023. Having previously dated as teenagers, Tom and Belle Dingle reconnected and resumed their relationship, eventually getting married.

    However it wasn’t long before Tom’s behaviour turned increasingly manipulative. From isolating Belle from her family and using puppy cams to spy on her to controlling her movements and even locking her in the house, Tom turned Belle into a shadow of her former self.

    Violence has also been involved. One distressing scene saw Tom hold Belle’s hand under a scalding hot tap, while on another occasion he punched her in the stomach after hearing her talk about him.

    Although Belle found the strength to end the marriage, the torture didn’t stop there. Tom run Belle’s beloved dog, Piper, down and then pretended Piper had died – really, Piper is alive and vet Tom allowed another couple to adopt her.

    He also tricked Belle into meeting him – a meeting that ended with Tom having an axe in the back. But somehow he walked away relatively unscathed.

    In recent scenes, Tom continued his manipulation by sending Belle flowers. But when she confronted him, he denied it and called the police on her for violating her bail conditions, resulting in Belle being arrested. That guy clearly has no shame.

    Nicola gets suspicious of Tom

    There are lots of threads that could lead to Tom’s comeuppance. At the heart of it is THE tablet.

    Although Tom destroyed it, Moira has seen some incriminating evidence on it. The only problem is, she had a seizure shortly after and now can’t remember.

    Tom’s cousin Carl also witnessed Tom destroying the tablet. It was always a risk that someone would see given that, for reasons only known to himself, Tom decided to destroy the tablet in the village in broad daylight.

    Tom proceeded to bribe Carl into keeping quiet about what he had seen. But soon Nicola will become suspicious about why her son is scared of Tom.

    So far, Tom has managed to fool his dopey uncle Jimmy, but scenes next week will see Jimmy’s wife Nicola realise there could be some truth to Belle’s accusations.

    When Nicola tries to speak to Carl, he clams up. Later Nicola gives Tom a grilling, and even Jimmy becomes concerned by some of the things he hears. Nicola then threatens Tom with the police, but will Tom manage to squirm his way out again or is this finally the moment we’ve been waiting for?

  • Nicola King in Emmerdale: Businesswoman, liar, cheater and her sensational exit from the soap

    Nicola King in Emmerdale: Businesswoman, liar, cheater and her sensational exit from the soap

    Today’s episode of Classic Emmerdale (Wednesday, October 23 on ITV3) sees Nicola Blackstock leave the soap in an explosive exit from the village. This comes as Laurel lets slip that Nicola lied about sleeping with binman Ivan – leading to a shocking confrontation between Nicola and her friends and family.

    Since her arrival in 2001, Nicola would go on to become one of the soap’s most iconic characters – an ambitious businesswoman, ruthless gold-digger, shameless cheat and eventual wife to Jimmy King.

    Arrival in Emmerdale, personality change and explosive exit

    Nicola first arrived as the estranged half-sister of Bernice Blackstock. Together with father Rodney, Nicola soon made herself at home in the village, initially growing close to her older half-sister.

    However, their relationship soured after the affair between Bernice and Nicola’s man – chef Carlos Diaz. In the ensuing fallout – which included her pretending to be pregnant so as to not lose Carlos – the meek Nicola underwent a massive personality change. It was then that she became the nasty Nicola we all know and fear.

    In 2002, she caused outrage by seducing a young Robert Sudgen, brutally dumping him the following year for builder Syd Wolfe. After her relationship with fishmonger Simon Meredith left her feeling bored, Nicola attempted to seduce brother Paul’s lover – bisexual binman Ivan.

    He turned her down, but that didn’t stop Nicola from lying about them being together, only being caught out after admitting the truth to Laurel.

    After her lies became public, Nicola decided to leave the village.

    Why did Nicola Wheeler leave Emmerdale?

    Actress Nicola Wheeler originally decided to exit the soap in 2006, so as to pursue other roles. It was announced the following year that she would be returning to the soap, reprising the role only eighteen months later.

    When did Nicola return to Emmerdale?

    A year later, Nicola returned to the village, eyeing up her old cleaning business – since purchased by David Metcalfe. Seducing David, Nicola was exposed for yet more lies – having tried to pass herself off as a widow.

    Not true: husband Donald De Souza still lived, but was in a coma following a brain hemorrhage. After Donald regained consciousness, a horrified Nicola plotted to kill him for the inheritance money. The plan ultimately fell apart when she confessed, managing to convince Donald not to call the police.

    Nicola flitted between jobs in the months which followed – scrubbing floors for David, driving Paddy around town, and even attempting to write a children’s book based on her father’s carnival exploits. Eventually, she obtained a job as Home Farm‘s estate manager.

    How did Nicola meet Jimmy King?

    Nicola began a relationship with Jimmy King, the eldest of the three King sons. Although he initially dismissed her as a gold digger the pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Soon afterwards, she fell pregnant with his child, and gave birth to their daughter Angelica later that year.

    Things have hardly been smooth sailing for Nicola and Jimmy. In 2011, Jimmy suffered memory loss after a road accident and, in the ensuing confusion, was tricked into an affair with Kelly Windsor.

    How many children do Nicola and Jimmy have together?

    Although Nicola and Jimmy reconciled, his time with Kelly resulted in the birth of son Elliot, who he met for the first time in 2011. Jimmy fathered another child three years later during a mix-up with a fertility clinic – Carl Jr, who he shared with a woman named Juliette.

    As these women left his life, Jimmy and Nicola remained with their family; with Nicola coming to view Elliot and Carl Jr as her own. In recent months, the family have struggled – with Angelica sentenced to time behind bars after driving the car which ultimately killed Heath Hope.

    In Angelica’s absence, the family has found a new addition to its ranks – Jimmy’s nephew, Tom, who is staying with the family following the collapse of his marriage to Belle King. But with Tom secretly menacing Carl, things can’t stay quiet for long.

    How long before Nicola starts to cotton on to Tom’s darker side?

    Nicola’s lies lead to Paul and Ivan splitting up

    Disgusted by what Nicola has told him, Rodney tells Paul about Ivan’s infidelity. Of course, Paul’s livid and confronts Ivan, but when he protests his innocence, Paul doubts him.

    So Ivan marches off to speak to Nicola about what she’s been saying and tells her to admit it’s not true.

    But manipulative Nicola pretends to be hurt and lambasts Ivan for denying they’ve been together. Rodney sends Ivan away and comforts his daughter.

    Making things worse in Classic Emmerdale

    Later, Laurel speaks to Nicola, wanting to know what’s going on, and Nicola even lies to her, saying she and Ivan slept together.

    The next day, Rodney’s beginning to wonder if Nicola’s being totally truthful. But when Paul comes to speak to her, Nicola ramps up the lies and tells him she and Ivan were having an affair.

    And when Rodney seeks her out to get the lowdown, she keeps on lying and even makes out Ivan took advantage of her.

    Rodney, though, knows Nicola’s got a history of bending the truth, and he heads off to make things up with Paul.

    Rodney’s choice

    Paul admits he’s thinking of leaving Emmerdale. When Rodney asks him to move back in he says he can’t live under the same roof as his sister, forcing Rodney to choose between his children.

    When he chooses Paul, Nicola’s furious!

    Later, she admits to Laurel that she lied about sleeping with Ivan. Shocked, Laurel gives her an ultimatum – either Nicola tells Paul, or she will!

    Toni’s hurt in Classic Emmerdale

    Elsewhere, Toni misreads the signs and she’s angry when Hari rejects her. But later at home, her anger turns to upset and she turns to Paddy for comfort.

    Emmerdale spoilers: Nicola threatens Tom after finding out the truth about Carl

    Nicola King threatens Tom in Emmerdale spoilers next week after she realises her son Carl‘s bad mood is related to Tom.

    Following Belle reporting Tom for abusing her, Tom has managed to fool many people – including his uncle Jimmy and Jimmy’s wife Nicola – that his estranged wife has an agenda and is lying about him as revenge.

    However, next week, Nicola gets suspicious and questions Carl about the toy car Tom gave him. Viewers will know that Carl was recently threatened by Tom. He then witnessed Tom smashing up his tablet, which contained evidence of his abusive behaviour towards Belle. Tom then subsequently bribed his cousin into keeping quiet by buying him a toy car.

    With Nicola determined to get to the bottom of why Carl is scared of Tom, are Tom’s days numbered?

    Nicola makes a move on Ivan

    Paul apologises to Ivan for getting angry, but admits he was hurt. The couple tentatively start to make up. Ivan then receives a call from an upset Nicola. Realising that she needs support, he heads off.

    Nicola over plays the victim card and snuggles into Ivan. As Nicola downs her wine, she says Ivan is too good for Paul. Ivan thinks she is joking and is amused.

    A drunk Ivan decides to take a shower and then get an early night, but Nicola has other ideas and calls out to him. Worried about the urgency, Ivan heads downstairs dressed in a towel. Dressed in only saucy underwear, Nicola seizes her opportunity and makes a move on Ivan.

    Ivan is mortified and tells Nicola he loves Paul, but Nicola refuses to believe it. However, Ivan is firm with Nicola and urges her to leave.

    Meanwhile, arriving home, Leslie spots Nicola and a partially dressed Ivan through the window. Nicola hides her humiliation and lets Lesley think that she and Ivan are having an affair.

    Later Ivan cruelly blasts Nicola when she tries to apologise. Lesley demands an explanation from Nicola and threatens to tell Paul unless she hands over Mulberry Cottage to Simon. However, Nicola refuses to be blackmailed and tells Lesley to tell anyone she wants.

    Lesley shares the news with Rodney. When he confronts his daughter, Nicola expertly plays the victim card again and lets Rodney think Ivan took advantage of her.

    At Home Farm, as Chas and Carl happily agree to a long engagement, Tom jovially informs Chas they he expects his third grandchild in eight to nine months. Chas laughs him off, but soon realises that Tom in completely serious in his desire for more heirs. Chas, however, doesn’t share Tom’s enthusiasm.

    Jo is scathing of Toni’s desperation and is relieved when Hari sits tight. As the girls leave, Hari is confused by Paddy’s insistence that they follow. Seeing Paddy’s mooning face as he watches Toni, Hari realises that Paddy is in love.
