    Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Katie is in a car accident and the Sugdens take on the Kings

    In Classic Emmerdale spoilers for episodes airing on ITV3 on Tuesday October 15, the Sugdens take revenge on the Kings and Katie receives bad news about her dad. These episodes originally aired on February 27 and 28, 2006.

    Sugdens v Kings in Classic Emmerdale spoilers

    Andy and Daz decide to take revenge on the Kings as payback for them getting away with contaminating their water supply with antifreeze. They break into the Kings’ site office and destroy everything. Later, when Jimmy sees the devastation in the office, he vows that the Sugdens won’t get away with it. However, Matthew says he will deal with it as Jimmy messes up everything he touches.

    Matthew congratulates Jack on the Sugdens having the last laugh by trashing the office and warns that they’re even now. A troubled Jack has no idea what Matthew is talking about, but he soon realises that his boys have been up to no good and he heads to Butler’s Farm to confront them. Furious with Andy and Daz, Jack makes them promise they won’t do anything like that again.

    Meanwhile, Matthew is feeling the weight of responsibility. The environmental officer tells him that high concentrations of antifreeze were found in the soil on the development, but as there isn’t any hard evidence, nothing else can be done. Matthew is happy, but covers his smugness.

    Katie is in a serious car accident

    The police inform Andy that Katie has been in a serious car accident which killed her father. He heads to the hospital in Leeds where Katie is in a coma.

    Andy spends the night at Katie’s bedside where a nurse tells Andy that Katie’s chances of survival are good. The nurse encourages Andy to chat with Katie as a familiar voice can be soothing, but Andy doesn’t know what to say.

    Meanwhile, at Butler’s Farm, Jack updates Daz on Katie’s condition. While sympathetic, Daz wants to know what it has to do with Andy. Jack is firm that Andy being there for Katie doesn’t mean that she’ll be back in his life for good.

    Back at the hospital, the alarms start sounding and Katie is rushed into theatre due to abdominal bleeding. After a tense few hours, Katie is brought back to the ward. Andy feels silly chatting away to her, but then she starts to wake up.

    Katie is confused at first but is glad to see a friendly face in Andy. As her memories start to return, Katie asks after her dad. Andy tells Katie the truth – that Brian died in the car crash. Katie is devastated at the news and breaks down. Believing it to be her fault, distraught Katie clings to Andy.

    Andy is happy to be Katie’s rock but is struggling to keep a lid on his feelings for his estranged wife.

    Carl tells Matthew that Zara would be good for him and he should move on. Thinking about Sadie, Matthew dismisses his brother’s advice and slips out.

    Alan continues to try and make amends with Steph

    Betty suspects that Alan is lonely at Holdgate Farm and convinces Steph and Adam to help get Alan back to Keepers Cottages – where he belongs. Adam think it’s a good idea and they agree to help. Alan is surprised, but happy with the plan, although he is disappointed that Steph is still not ready to forgive him.

    Alan pays Steph a visit and outlines a business proposal that will get guests to stay at the B&B. He does a big sell and suggests they could invest in extra staff for the B&B if Steph is amenable. Alan believes it’s a great opportunity for them, but stresses he needs Steph on board as a partner if they are to make it work.

    Steph is unsure and Alan doesn’t want to push her, so he asks her to at least think about it. After some gentle persuasion from Adam, Steph agrees to host the Country Pursuits weekends with her dad. Alan is glad, but Steph makes it clear that they shouldn’t rush things on a personal front.

    Chas is back for good

    Chas tells Lisa that she is back for good because the Army have deemed her unfit for service. However, Louise is smug as Diane awkwardly informs Chas that they have enough staff.

    Later, Chas is shocked to hear about Katie and rushes to the hospital.

    Alan tries to make amends to Steph

    In the wake of his injury, Alan feels terrible about not believing Steph. He worries that maybe he did know about Terence’s abuse but could have buried it in the back of his mind.

    Hoping to make amends, he tells Steph he wants her to be joint owner of the B&B. Sickened that he thinks he can buy her back, Steph rejects his offer.

    Afterwards, she tells the police that she’s decided to drop the charges against Terence. The police are concerned when they are unable to find and question Terence. Covering for his absence, Betty and Alan claim he’s run off. When the police ask him about the injury to his head, Alan tells them that he took a fall.

    Later, Betty visits Steph and tells her that her father needs her, begging her not to let Alan. And, when Robert turns up at the B&B with her statement to sign, Steph is thrown. She tells him that she’s decided to drop the charges against Terence.

    In the Woolpack, Adam tries to cheer Steph up, reminding her that Terence has gone for good. Looking to the future, Steph starts to reconsider Alan’s B&B offer.

    Jasmine and Daz play detective

    Hari tells the Sugdens that their water supply has been contaminated with antifreeze. He assures Andy and Jack that there will be a thorough investigation of how the water came to be contaminated.

    When he tells them that they’ll be looking upstream, Jack notes that the Kings’ development is in that direction. Overhearing, Daz decides to play detective. Enlisting Jasmine, the pair pay a visit to the Kings’ development, where they find some rusty barrels.

    Believing the barrels to be the root of the Sugdens’ problem, Daz takes a picture on his phone. However, Jimmy and Matthew catch him and Jasmine, and march them both into a portacabin – where Matthew destroys the phone.

    Terrified, Daz and Jasmine flee. Meanwhile, Matthew asks Jimmy about the antifreeze, who claims that he asked for it to be moved ages ago. Fuming, Matthew forces Jimmy to move the evidence.

    Back at the farm, Jack is angry as the Kings get off Scot-free. Convinced that the Kings were responsible, he and Andy show an environmental officer around. Meanwhile, dejected Daz is convinced that he’s spoiled the family’s chance to nail the Kings. Jasmine convinces him to tell Andy what happened.

    Later, at the Kings’ development, the environmental officer questions Matthew and Jimmy, who give him a tour of the site. The officer is suspicious as he notes signs of disturbance at the ditch, but the brothers feign innocence. The officer takes samples from the ditch away for testing.

    Back at the farm, a furious Jack tells Andy and Daz that the officer doesn’t hold much hope. Convinced that the Kings have gotten away with it, Jack confronts Matthew in the pub, demanding he tells the truth. Jack is left helpless as an unruffled Matthew denies all knowledge.

An angry Tom tells her that he wants her and the horse out of their lives for good – telling her that she needs to move Cossack as soon as possible. When Edna asks if they should tell Matthew that Sadie will be visiting, Tom suggests it’s best that his son remains in the dark.

  • Alan Turner, his wives and children: The life and death of Emmerdale’s iconic Woolpack landlord

    Alan Turner, his wives and children: The life and death of Emmerdale’s iconic Woolpack landlord

    Womaniser, former Woolpack landlord and father to iconic soap villain Steph Stokes – Alan Turner was a member of Emmerdale royalty. The character appeared on the soap for over 30 years, and was a part of such major storylines as the 1999 plane crash and the murder of Shelley Williams.

    In today’s episode of Classic Emmerdale (Friday, October 11), Alan learns the extent of son Terence’s evil, as he admits to raping sister Steph as a child. During the ensuing fallout, Terence grows violent and punches his father unconscious.

    But who was Alan Turner exactly?

    Who played Alan Turner on Emmerdale?

    Alan Turner moved to the village in 1982 with wife Jill and two children, Terence and Steph (formerly Mary). He was a major player on the soap from 1918 – 2013, and was played by actor Richard Thorp.

    Alan spent much of his time as an estate manager for NY Estates, doing deals with local businesses and council work. During this time, he clashed with rivals Joe Sugden and Seth Armstrong. Alan was also one of the village’s most renowned ladies’ men, dating secretary Caroline Bates, re-marrying Shirley Foster and, later, striking up a relationship with his daughter’s best friend!

    Running the Woolpack

    In 1991, after hearing that then-landlord Amos was selling up, Alan took over ownership of the Woolpack. As a shrewd businessman, Alan tried to modernise the country pub by opening a wine bar, installing a jukebox and even tried doing away with ales in favour of an all-new and fancy gourmet menu.

    Alan’s wine bar was short-lived – being destroyed during the plane crash of 1993. Alan also helped out the emergency services in the aftermath of the disaster.

    During this time, granddaughter Tricia Stokes arrived in the village – burning his beloved pub down when she let off fireworks behind the bar while he was on holiday. Although he had it rebuilt, Alan sold up the following year, in 1999. He then bought the Grange B&B.

    The return of daughter Steph

    In 2002, Alan’s daughter (and Tricia’s mother) returned to the village, now calling herself Steph. While their relationship was a volatile one, they bonded over Tricia’s tragic death in 2003, growing closer as a result.

    Relationship to Shelley

    Not long afterwards, Alan fell for Steph’s best friend, Shelley. Steph became instantly jealous, and her relationship with her best friend and father began to sour. Growing fed up of Steph’s constant bullying, Shelley left the village, causing Alan to start drinking heavily.

    During his recovery, Steph developed a plan to take her father’s money and businesses for her own – drugging him into a docile state as she attempted to control him and his finances. Alan managed to extricate himself from Steph’s control, only barely managing to stop her from killing them both by driving to a quarry edge.

    Meanwhile, evidence emerged that Steph had been holding Shelley hostage in the basement of the B&B. Alan believed that Steph had gone through with murdering Shelley – only for her to turn up from beyond the grave, at her own memorial service. Shelley’s return was short-lived, however, with Steph pushing her former best friend off a ferry and into a watery grave.

    Son Terence and Steph’s arrest

    In 2006, Alan’s son Terence arrived in the village, amid claims that he’d sexually abused his sister as a child. Disbelieving Steph’s claims, Alan moved in with Terence. The truth was eventually revealed when Terence admitted to raping Steph later that year. During the ensuing fallout, Terence was killed, and Steph imprisoned for her brother’s murder.

    Emmerdale pays tribute to Alan Turner star with commemorative episode

    In July 2013, Alan announced that he was going travelling around France with his old biker friends. He returned off-screen in October that year – dying in his sleep before he could reunite with old friend Betty. He was aged 78 when he passed.

    An hour-long episode was aired in June 2013, paying tribute to Alan and actor Richard Thorp, who had died in May that year.

    Terence rages at his father in Classic Emmerdale

    Following yesterday’s events, Terence wakes up with a sore head and packs his bags – which he hides when his dad arrives. Alan shares the news that his cheque should have cleared by now, and he’ll have a bankers draft made out to Terence for £20,000 later today.

    Terence decides to hang around until he has the money and goes off to the pub to wait. Adam makes a dig at Terence and, fuelled by alcohol, Terence flies at him. Alan is alarmed to see his son mouthing off and throwing punches.

    Later, when alone with Alan, Terence admits the child abuse towards Steph and accuses his dad of being naive.

    Alan is shocked and refuses to hand Terence the bankers note. In a rage, Terence hits out at Alan and Alan falls to the floor unconscious. Terence takes the money and runs.

    Steph and Adam arrive to check on Alan and see Terence leaving in Alan’s car. They find Alan on the floor, though he has re-gained consciousness. Steph is frustrated when Alan still continues to defend Terence. However, when they’re at the hospital, Alan tells Steph about Terence’s confession and begs for her forgiveness.

    Alan feels a failure for raising two troubled children and insists he did not know about the abuse. But Steph doesn’t believe him and is angry that he failed to protect her.

    Matthew gets angry

    Louise decides to go horse riding and uses Cossack. When Matthew sees the horse being brought back to the stables he’s furious that Louise used Sadie’s horse. He’s even more angry when he discovers she also borrowed some of Sadie’s riding gear.

    Matthew is livid and shouts at Tom and Edna about it, before fuming at Tom for hiring out Sadie’s horse.

    Later, Matthew calls Lynda. He arranges for a taxi to pick her up and they have a night in at Victoria Cottage while Chas and Carl are away.

    Nicola stirs the pot

    Laurel asks Nicola if she fancies Ivan. Nicola is unable to deny it. She stirs things by telling Paul that Ivan finds both women and men attractive. This gives Paul food for thought and later he says no when Ivan suggests they go out.

    Later, Laurel asks Nicola again if she likes Ivan. Nicola eventually confirms that she has feelings for him and that she doesn’t think he is really gay.

    Laurel warns Nicola not to get involved and that messing around with her brother’s boyfriend is the last thing she needs. But Nicola is undeterred.

    Money troubles

    Alan tells Terence that his offer on Tug Ghyll has been accepted, but he admits he’s having trouble re-mortgaging the B&B because of his age. Len suggests that he could get a joint mortgage with Terence, but Terence doesn’t seem keen.

    When Paul mentions he’s not seen much of Steph lately, Betty goes to find her. She finds her in a bit of a state, and reports back to Adam, telling him something needs to be done about Terence. She suggests that they call the police but Adam says if Steph doesn’t want that, then there’s nothing they can do.

    Seeing the future

    Nicola’s not impressed when she goes to a palm reader and gets some bad news! The palm reader tells her her relationship is in trouble and Nicola’s miffed.

    Fuming, Nicola confronts Simon who tells her he was testing her ability to live without money. She’s very unimpressed to find out she was being tested and takes off her engagement ring.

    Lesley takes Simon to the pub where he tells her he doesn’t love Nicola anymore. Appalled, Lesley goes home to hear Nicola saying she doesn’t want to be engaged either.

    Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Steph changes her mind, Chas questions herself and Nicola’s on a budget

    In Classic Emmerdale spoilers for episodes airing on ITV3 on Tuesday September 24, Steph’s changing her mind, Pearl is spilling the beans, and Carl’s giving Chas parenting advice. These episodes originally aired on January 27 and 29, 2006.

    Steph changes her mind

    Betty manages to convince Steph to stay in the village. Betty tells Steph that if she’s telling the truth about abusive Terence then he’ll have won if she runs away. Steph realises that Betty has her doubts about Terence and draws strength from her discovery.

    She approaches Terence and tells him his charm is wearing thin – Betty has already seen through him and soon others will too. She says that if he doesn’t leave the village, she will tell everyone what he did. But Terence says it was a long time ago, and she needs to get over it.

    Terence causes chaos

    Terence approaches Steph in the shop and whispers a threat to her. Viv notices the tensions between them and mentions it to Alan, who talks to Terence about it. Terence takes the opportunity to blame it all on Betty. So Alan storms off to confront her. She tells him she thinks there could be something in Steph’s claims but Alan is furious. He tells Betty he’s going to move out as soon as he can.

    Nicola’s counting the pennies

    Nicola arranges a budget-friendly evening for her and Simon – watching a DVD at home. And she tells him she’s hopeful their relationship has turned a corner.

    Budget backfires!

    Simon’s fuming when he finds out Nicola paid Louise £20 to make herself scarce before their movie night.

    Back home, Nicola’s cooking a slap-up dinner when Simon confronts her about the money and tells Nicola she’s got no idea how to save. He storms out and Nicola’s left upset. She pours her heart out to his mum Lesley, admitting she equates fun with spending money. Lesley urges her not to give up.

  • Terence Turner: Steph Stokes’ abuser who met a grisly end

    Terence Turner: Steph Stokes’ abuser who met a grisly end

    Terence Turner in Emmerdale met a sorry end at the hands of his sister Steph Stokes – sort of! But did he deserve what happened to him?

    Here’s our rundown on what Terence did.

    Who was Terence Turner?

    Terence was the son of Woolpack landlord Alan Turner. He also had a sister, Steph Stokes, and he was the uncle of Tricia Dingle, though she had died before Terence returned to the village.

    Early days in Emmerdale

    Clever student Terence was studying at Oxford in the 198os, when he also had a romance with Sandie Merrick – much to the disappointment of her stepdad, Jack Sugden.

    Back then, lazy and arrogant Terence was always on the hunt for a way to make money and move out of traditional farming – from dry ski slopes to crop spraying, rock climbing and even making pickle!

    Return to Emmerdale

    When Terence returned to the village many years later his character had been ‘aged up’ by many years and was played by a new actor, Nick Brimble.

    Straightaway it was clear that young Terence’s arrogance and sense of entitlement hadn’t changed. In fact, he’d come back to Emmerdale in order to fleece his poor dad out of £20,000!

    Steph’s horror

    Terence’s sister Steph was living in Emmerdale by then and she was horrified to see her brother again.

    She revealed to her dad that Terence had sexually abused her when they were teenagers. But Alan – much to Steph’s distress – didn’t believe her. He accused Steph of making up her accusations because she was jealous of her brother.

    And it was only when Terence got drunk one night and confessed that Alan finally realised Steph had been telling the truth all along. Alan and Terence had a fight and Terence fled – having nicked Alan’s money first of course.

    Blackmail!

    Steph was married to Dr Adam Forsythe and after Terence disappeared, Adam began getting odd phone calls.

    It turned out the phone calls were from Terence who’d done a bit of digging into Adam’s past. He’d found out that Adam had hit a young boy and been struck off – but he was still practising as a doctor.

    Terence demanded £50,000 from Adam to keep quiet.

    Murder!

    When Terence came to collect the cash, Adam knocked him out with ether, and put him in the basement. When he woke up, he attacked Adam and Steph. They fought back and Adam whacked him over the head with a fire extinguisher – killing him.

    Steph and Adam buried Terence in the woods, but Steph struggled with her guilt. To keep her quiet, Adam began drugging her! Poor Steph thought she was having a nervous breakdown.

    When Terence’s body was found – under the rubble of the Kings River show home – Steph confessed to her crime – even though Adam was the one who actually struck the fatal blow - and she and Adam were arrested.

    Adam took his own life in his prison cell and Steph was sentenced to life. She took the punishment as penance for killing her friend – and Alan’s partner – Shelley.

    Who played Terence Turner?

    In the early days, Terence was played by Stephen Marchant. But when he returned several years later, he was played by Nick Brimble.
