A new Emmerdale fan theory has emerged suggesting Suzy Merton was having an affair – no, not that one (sorry Mary), but with another other woman. This came as Vanessa opened Suzy’s phone last night (Wednesday, March 12) to discover a series of texts from Leyla.
She was horrified as she read on, learning that Suzy had kissed another woman. And, while Leyla hadn’t deigned to name names, the culprit wasn’t far away. Vanessa shared her discovery with Mary, unaware that she was speaking to the true object of Suzy’s affections – not knowing that Suzy had been planning on ending things so she could be with Mary.
But is there more to Suzy and Mary’s emotional affair? Some think not – and have accused Suzy of having another affair.

Suzy was having a second affair, Emmerdale fans predict
Writing on social media as last night’s episode aired, fans shared their theories about what might happen next. And some wondered if Suzy might have had a third woman on the go.
“Wouldn’t it be a great twist, unlikely, but if Mary WASN’T the other woman and there was someone else. Again unlikely, but given Mary and Suzy were not having an affair like Vanessa has suggested imagine the shock if there was someone else involved,” wrote one fan on X.
“I’m a bit confused about the whole thing cos we never saw this ‘relationship’ between Mary and Suzy. We barely even saw one between Vanessa and Suzy. I know we saw that kiss but other than that, there wasn’t anything so what if the texts were about someone else? If Vanessa thinks Suzy was having a full blown affair it can’t have been with Mary, so maybe she was having an affair with another woman?!” asked another.

Was Suzy seeing multiple women?
This unlikely theory was quickly debunked by a third fan, who said: “Just because it was only one kiss, no I do not believe Suzy was having another affair yet to be revealed. Some can’t grasp concept of being able to fall in love with someone without sex involved first. Suzy had fallen in love with Mary over time on deeper level.”
Do you think Suzy was playing both Mary and Vanessa?

*Warning: Emmerdale spoilers follow from the Thursday March 13 episode, which is available now on ITVX, but has not yet aired on ITV*
Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale confirms that two secrets, which have been bubbling away, are finally out. The episode, which is available to watch on ITVX, has revealed the lives of two families will be completely changed forever following the shocking revelations.
Yes, it is finally time for Steph Miligan to discover the truth about her grandfather. Meanwhile, Vanessa Woodfield’s digging into Suzy’s mystery woman brings her answers she never wanted.

Emmerdale spoilers for tonight – Steph discovers the truth
For weeks Steph has been perfecting her ‘where for art thou, Grandad’ routine, whimpering on and on and on. Frankly, if we’d heard the word grandad one more time we’d have told her ourselves, but thankfully it hasn’t come to that.
This week has seen Steph really ramp up her search. She even tricked her dad by saying Anthony had called her and he was fine just to see Caleb’s reaction. But Caleb was one step ahead, didn’t react and merely told Ross to stop Steph’s obsession.
Ross didn’t manage it though and on Tuesday night (March 11) Steph discovered a gun in Caleb’s secret safe. She instantly decided the gun was used on Anthony to kill him. But Caleb and Ruby came up with a story to throw her off the scent: the gun was meant for Cain.
Unconvinced, Steph rushed to Cain’s place where he confirmed the exact same details Caleb had told her. It’s almost like it was the truth – except we then found out Caleb had got to Cain first and made him play along.
But such a finely tuned story made Steph even more suspicious. With the bit between her teeth, she announced to Ross she was going to the police. She firmly believes if her parents were involved in Anthony’s disappearance they should “get what’s coming”.
Ross ran to tell Caleb in Thursday’s episode and it left Caleb and Ruby with little option left. After Caleb makes a dramatic decision, Ruby became desperate to stop her husband from doing something stupid.
At last, Steph found out everything about her grandfather’s abuse and her true parentage and his death. But how will she cope? Will she still shop her parents?

Vanessa made a discovery
As the Miligans were having their family torn apart, Vanessa was also a woman on a mission. She was determined to find out who Suzy kissed.
Earlier this week Vanessa found incriminating message on Suzy’s phone. They revealed she had kissed someone else, was having doubts about Vanessa and was planning to end things. Given Vanessa was planning to propose, she has been left heartbroken to have got things so wrong.
Determined the only way she can get closure is to find out who the other woman was, Vanessa hits a dead end. Until she finds a clue at her house and immediately connects it to Mary.
In disbelief, Vanessa storms round to confront the woman who has been her rock since Suzy’s death. Will Mary deny it? Or come clean? And how will Vanessa take the news?

Emmerdale fans confused by ‘plot hole’ as Vanessa learns about Suzy kiss
Writing on social media as the episode aired, fans shared their thoughts on Vanessa’s discovery. And some had a very pressing question – would Suzy really have left her phone behind as she embarked on her fateful limo ride?
“How does vanessa even have Suzy’s phone? wouldn’t it have gone down with her in the limo? I would’ve believed if she was reading the texts from a laptop,” pointed out one fan on X.
“Why didn’t Suzy’s phone end up in the lake?” asked another.
“Good question that,” agreed a third.
Has the soap stretched credibility too far?

Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick has been on our screens as Vanessa Woodfield since 2012, and has been at the centre of some huge storylines.
Vanessa has been a fan-favourite for years. From her relationship with Charity to her emotional cancer storyline, fans love her. And after the recent death of her girlfriend, Suzy, she is once again thrown into centre stage. Especially as it looks set that she is going to have her heartbroken if she ever discovers the truth of Suzy and Mary.
From meeting her wife on Emmerdale, to raising their children together, let’s have a look at Michelle Hardwick’s life away from the Dales.

Michelle Hardwick acting background
In reality, soapland is actually a small place, so it’s no surprise when stars have some cross-overs.
Before getting her role on Emmerdale, Michelle actually appeared on ITV’s other soap, Coronation Street in two different minor roles, in 1997 and 1998.
But it was her character in the TV series The Royal which worked as one of Michelle’s biggest roles. She starred as the character Lizzie Hopkirk – a huge hit with the fans!
Is Michelle in a relationship?
After coming out as lesbian in July 2013, Michelle confirmed she had been in a long-term relationship with music teacher, Rosie Nicholl.
The couple went on to get married in April 2015, but began divorce proceedings two years later, in 2017.
However, Michelle has happily moved on from her previous marriage. In October 2018 she revealed that she was in a relationship with then Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks.
A few months after going public the pair announced their engagement. And in September 2019, they tied the knot.
The pair are really big on keeping fans up to date with their life together on their social media platforms.

Dealing with trolls
In a sit-down interview with OK!, Michelle admitted she got a lot of abuse online after coming out.
She said: “The root of it all is always because I’m gay. I’m a gay woman. And it’s like, ‘Lesbians shouldn’t be on this earth’.”
The trolls were so extreme that once Michelle had to call the police after receiving death threats.
She explained: “We have had a bit of trolling over the years. And there have been certain times when police have had to be called. There have been some death threats.”
Michelle’s family life
In October 2020, Michelle gave birth to her and Kate’s first son, Edward. And then in November 2022, she gave birth to their daughter.
After she had their each of their kids, she took a break from Emmerdale to enjoy time being a mum. But Michelle returned to the show, and has slotted back in naturally.
Away from her relationship, the Emmerdale star has taken part in numerous Race For Life events near her home, raising money for Cancer Research UK. She has publicly spoken about her brother’s diagnosis and recovery from skin cancer.

Is Michelle leaving Emmerdale?
As of today (Sunday March 9), there have been no reports that suggest Michelle’s time on Emmerdale is over.
However, in recent months, her wife made the decision to leave Emmerdale and move to Coronation Street.
And with Suzy’s death having just taken place a few weeks ago, it seems unlikely that she would go anywhere anytime soon. Vanessa still has a lot of storylines to share with us! And while there have been some exit announcements lately, she does not appear to be one of them.
But while we hope we aren’t losing Vanessa, it seems an exit is always a possibility in SoapLand.

Last week in Emmerdale Charity was driving the limo that crashed onto the lake and killed three huge characters. One being her ex-fiance’s new girlfriend.
Vanessa and Charity – or Vanity as they’re better known – stole fans hearts in 2018 when they officially became girlfriends. They went on to have one of the most adored love stories in Emmerdale – until it ended.
While Vanessa was struggling with her cancer, Charity struggled to open up to her and turned to Mack for comfort. The couple went on to try to make their relationship work, but to no avail. But it seems viewers still haven’t given up hope that one day, they will reunite.

Charity and Vanessa scenes send fans wild
Over the last couple of months, there haven’t been too many scenes with the former couple together. But every time there is, fans go wild. And last night’s episode was no exception.
After Suzy was killed on impact during the limo crash, Charity was blaming herself for the deaths. And Joe didn’t make it better when he made a sarcastic comment about her being responsible.
But one person who certainly doesn’t blame the Dingle icon is her ex. When Vanessa appeared in the pub, Charity gave her a drink for free. And then took the chance to apologise for what had happened.
However, Vanessa very quickly cut her of, assuring her that she was not responsible for the lives that were lost. Charity emotionally told Vanessa that she “always liked” her and Suzy together.
And while the exchange was friendly, Vanity fans couldn’t help but think they may still reunite after all.
Taking to X, viewers shared their happiness at the scene, and how they appreciated that it was Vanessa who eased Charity’s mind.

Fans call for Vanity reunion
One wrote: “After all this time, Vanessa is still reassuring Charity. She knows her. She knows Charity’s head would be spiralling. And she doesn’t want her to go through that.”
Another applauded: “I was sure that Vanessa would at least partially blame Charity for the accident and Suzy’s death. So her explicitly saying it wasn’t Charity’s fault just reinforces my belief that deliberate choices are being made her.”
A third penned: “Of course Vanessa is the first to reassure Charity. Vanity are coming back in the ring, everyone.”
“Charity and Vanessa are SOULMATES,” another enthusiastic fan commented. While another wrote: “Poor Vanessa. Charity your woman needs you. Like now.”
Charity is currently happily with Mack. But as we saw in the flash-forward at the beginning of the year, the future doesn’t seem to good for him. So if both Vanessa and Charity lose someone they love this year, could it push them back together? And with fans thinking Mary and Suzy may have been having an affair, will Vanessa turn to Charity in her time of need?

Emmerdale spoilers: Mary grieves for her lost love
Wedding planner Suzy was the first victim of the limo accident, which also claimed the lives of Leyla and Amy. Charity swerved off the road to avoid hitting Noah and the limo plunged into a frozen lake. Suzy was killed on impact, leaving her girlfriend Vanessa utterly heartbroken.
Mary has also been struggling in the wake of Suzy’s tragic demise. The pair were good friends, but but viewers also know that Mary had developed a deep affection for Suzy. They very nearly became an item, but then Vanessa came back on the scene and Mary panicked.
Those romantic feelings clearly never went away though. On the day of the limo crash, there were a couple of lingering looks and Mary blew Suzy a kiss as she headed off for the night. Had the ladies started a secret affair behind Vanessa’s back?

Vanessa backs out of Suzy’s funeral
As the day of Suzy’s send-off arrives, Mary is worried when she recieves a text from Vanessa to say she’s not coming.
What exactly has prompted this sudden change of heart remains to be seen, but Vanessa clearly feels unable to say goodbye to the woman she supposedly loved.
Mary finds Vanessa crying in toilets of The Woolpack and can see what a terrible state she’s in. But as the distraught vet crumbles into her friend’s arms, it’s clear Mary is feeling haunted by events of the past. Did she and Suzy betray Vanessa?

Viewers learn the real reason behind Mary’s anguish as a flashback reveals what happened between her and Suzy in the hours leading up to her death.
Vanessa could be headed for more heartbreak if Mary’s conscience gets the better of her and she decides to confess. But it could be Tracy who lets the cat out of the bag when her memories of that fateful night start to return. Did Suzy let slip something about her and Mary?

Vanessa, who was with Suzy in the limo when it crashed, was devastated and held her girlfriend in her arms for as long as she could, before she had to leave the car and get to safety.
We’ve just about recovered from those heartbreaking scenes now, so we grabbed the chance to catch up with Michelle Hardwick, who plays Vanessa, and found out how she coped filming such emotional scenes. And she gave us a little hint about what’s in store for Vanessa, too.

Vanessa faces heartbreak in Emmerdale after the limo crash
As the women realised Suzy was dead they were shocked and horrified, but they also had to focus on getting themselves out of the car. So how did Michelle approach those scenes.
“Just putting yourself in that situation, it’s sheer panic,” she explained. “You’re in this confined space, I remember thinking ‘how would you react?’. You’d either go hysterical where you don’t stop screaming, but if I played it like that it wouldn’t be great! Or you just go into shock and disbelief.”
But the hardest part of the scene, according to Michelle, was when Vanessa had to leave Suzy behind. “It was so heartbreaking. It was horrific. It was so, so upsetting to do. Obviously it was Martelle’s last few days as well. It was really hard, really upsetting.”

Real-life emotions!
And the filming itself took its toll on Michelle.
“It was like 1am and it was heartbreaking to film,” she tells us. “It was really sad. I think because it was the the middle of the night in December and your emotions are heightened anyway, and I just broke down off camera. It was really emotional!”
But despite the tears, Michelle is full of praise for the dramatic episodes.
“It was one of the best things I’ve ever filmed in my career,” she tells us. “It was like being on a Hollywood film set. It was exciting. It was wonderful. But it was bittersweet because we knew we were losing some of our colleagues.”

Secrets revealed for Vanessa in Emmerdale
Of course, as far as Vanessa’s concerned, everything between her and Suzy was fabulous, but Michelle hints that perhaps that’s not exactly accurate.
“It was going really well, in Vanessa’s eyes, but if you think about what we’ve seen on screen, she had alluded to the fact that maybe the intimacy wasn’t there…” And that wasn’t all, Michelle reminds us. “In the limo she told Suzy she loved her and she didn’t really get anything back. But she thought Suzy was stressed. She wasn’t reading too much into it. But maybe she should have…”
Sounds intriguing! Perhaps Vanessa is going to find out something Suzy had been keeping from her? How would she feel if she found out Suzy wasn’t as committed?
“She would be heartbroken but also wouldn’t really believe it,” Michelle says. “Vanessa always puts 100% into what she does.”

Support network after the limo crash
Luckily, Vanessa has a really strong network around her to help her get through the next few weeks. Who’s going to be there for her? We know she’ll lean on best friend Rhona and sister Tracy, but Michelle says she could also grow closer to someone a little surprising.
“When Vanessa was in Canada, Suzy and Mary had this connection but nothing came of it,” she reminds us. “But because Mary and Suzy had a tight friendship, which Vanessa knew about, Mary’s going to be the biggest support to Vanessa.”
Tough times ahead for Vanessa, there’s no doubt. But we can’t wait to see what happens next!

Village vet Vanessa Woodfield has been an integral member of the Emmerdale cast ever since joining the village as the new locum in town. Over a decade later, Vanessa is part of the furniture – having weathered cancer, hostage terror and multiple failed romances.
This week Vanessa is at the heart of the drama once more as she finds her life at risk as two limousines crash on a deserted woodland road. Will Vanessa survive? And, with girlfriend Suzy already confirmed dead and ex Charity also in danger, how will she be affected by the consequences of the crash?
Here’s everything you need to know about Emmerdale vet(eran) Vanessa.

Who plays Vanessa Woodfield?
Vanessa is played by actor Michelle Hardwick. Prior to joining Emmerdale, Michelle appeared in episodes of Hollyoaks, Heartbeat and Coronation Street in a series of smaller roles.
Outside of the soaps, she briefly appeared on American zombie drama The Walking Dead across two episodes in 2018 and 2019, where she played an unnamed survivor in one of the post-apocalyptic outposts.
When did Vanessa join Emmerdale?
In 2012, she joined the soap as Vanessa. She was hired by Rhona – her old university friend – to work at the vet’s surgery. She and Rhona remained firm friends during her time in the dales, helping Rhona when she learned about her addiction to painkillers.
Upon arriving, she also made friends with Moira Dingle, striking up a strong and abiding friendship with the family. It was in the village that she learned she had a half-sister – Tracy Metcalfe.

How many children does Vanessa have?
In 2015, Vanessa gave birth to her son Johnny. Johnny was the result of the relationship between Vanessa and Kirin Kotecha – Priya’s then-17-year-old stepson-to-be. The pair split up after she had a one-night stand with Adam Barton – and his father edited the result of a DNA test to make it look as though Adam was the baby’s dad.
By 2016, Kirin had learned the truth. He left the village later that year after leaving a woman for dead in a drunken hit-and-run. Kirin returned in 2020, only to face trial for the hit-and-run. He was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Kidnapped by Pierce
In 2020, Vanessa was held hostage by Rhona’s rapist ex husband, Pierce, who blamed her for ruining his marriage. Keeping her tied up in her own home, Pierce held Vanessa there for weeks.
The police managed to capture Pierce after Rhona injected him with tranquiliser, allowing her to free Vanessa and call the police. He died from cancer while in prison in 2022.

Stabbed by Lachlan’s dad
In 2018, Vanessa was subject to a brutal attack by Lachlan White’s dad, in a campaign of violence against the Dingles. When she attempted to stop Donny as he tried to set fire to the Woolpack, he stabbed her and took her car – unaware Johnny was hiding in the back.
Charity gave chase, rescuing Johnny and beating Donny with a metal pole, before taking up her rightful place at Vanessa’s bedside.
Bowel cancer
At the start of 2020, Vanessa was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer, which had spread to her lymph nodes. She underwent surgery, but was devastated to learn that she’d still need a course of chemotherapy afterwards
She took some time out to recover at her mother’s house. When she returned, she did so with the news that she’d been given the all-clear – however, the positivity wasn’t to last, as she learned that girlfriend Charity had snogged another man while she was away. The pair split, and Vanessa returned to her mum’s for a while.

Relationships with Charity and Suzy – and breaks-up
Together with Charity Dingle, Vanessa made up one half of the soap’s most popular pairings – dubbed ‘Vanity’ by fans. After a tumultuous romance, the pair split up for good after Charity was kissed Mack.
In 2022, she met Suzy Merton. Flirting over a drink (after Vanessa almost run her over!) the pair dated for a while. However, things became tense with them when it was revealed that Suzy had been partly responsible for Holly’s addiction to drugs.
They split later that year, as Vanessa was offered her dream job, and Suzy decided it would be best if she went without her.
Suzy did return to the village and the couple reunited, with it looking for a while like they had found their happy ever after.
Vanessa left the soap in 2022 as actor Michelle took a break from the soap to go on maternity leave. She and wife Kate Brooks welcomed their daughter in November that year.
In the soap, Vanessa left to pursue a job opportunity in Canada. She returned in February this year to support Rhona, who had gotten herself into trouble with the law after kidnapping baby Ivy. Convincing Rhona to return home, Vanessa decided to move back to the village, where she remains to this day.

Will Charity and Vanessa ever get back together?
Ever since she returned to the soap, fans have been hoping that Vanessa and Charity will reconcile. Although there’s no animosity there, Charity did tell Mack that she had ‘no lingering feelings’ for her ex. That hasn’t stopped the fans from hoping though!

Lives will be lost in Emmerdale following the big limo crash and fans think sisters Vanessa and Tracy will be two of the victims.
Friday’s episode (February 14) will see a big stunt involving two limousines and a frozen lake, while next week we see the aftermath.
While it hasn’t been confirmed which of the two limos ends up in the frozen lake, fans are predicting that the girls will be most in danger – most notably sisters Vanessa and Tracy.

Vanessa and Tracy in Emmerdale
Tracy and Vanessa didn’t discover they were half-sisters until 2016 when they bumped into one another at their dad Frank Clayton‘s hospital bedside.
Although they initially struggled with the news, they soon reconnected and formed a strong relationship. Tracy was also a big support following Vanessa’s cancer diagnosis.
Vanessa was previously engaged to Charity Dingle, but that ended after she discovered Charity had kissed Mack. Vanessa is now in a relationship with Suzy – though fans have been calling for Suzy to reunite with Mary.
Tracy, meanwhile, embarked on an affair with Caleb Miligan last year. This caused the breakdown of her marriage to Nate. He eventually left for Shetland (or, did he?), leaving Tracy to raise Frankie alone.

Will Vanessa and Tracy die in limo crash?
Fans believe Emmerdale has been dropping clues over which characters will die in the big limo crash.
One thing fans picked up on was Amy Barton’s bond with Frankie Robinson and her desire to adopt a child. Fans believe this was foreshadowing Tracy’s death and that Amy and Matty will adopt Frankie.
“I’m starting to think it could be Tracy because of how much Amy and Matty are bonding with Frankie,” wrote one fan on X.
“I’m really starting to think Tracy could die,” said a second fan, with a third asking: “Does anyone else think there could be something in Amy bonding with Frankie and the limo stunt coming up? Could Tracy be killed off and maybe Amy and Matty adopt/take care of Frankie?”
Meanwhile, fans also think Vanessa could be in danger. Earlier in the week, Mary looked at Suzy longingly. Fans believe that she’ll get her woman when Vanessa is killed off.
“Emmerdale remembering that Suzy exists in the lead up to this limo crash suggests either a) she’s a goner or b) Vanessa’s toast and they’re setting us up for a Suzy/Mary relationship down the road,” wrote one viewer.Â
A second fan said: “So guys what if Vanessa actually does die? Then Charity steps up and takes on bringing up Johnny because she did adopt him.” While another viewer couldn’t cope with the rumours and added: “People saying Vanessa might die is tipping me over the edge.”

An Emmerdale death is looming, as the show’s highly-anticipated ice stunt takes place. And now fans fear they know exactly who will die.
Ever since Vanessa Woodfield and Charity Dingle broke up, fans have been desperate for their adored Vanity to find their way back together again.
But as time goes on, a reunion is seeming less and less likely. And now that fans are convinced Vanessa will die, all hope seems to be completely gone.

What do we know about the ice stunt?
Emmerdale has been teasing their ice stunt for a while. And we know that someone is going to die – and a lot of reports suggest this is Roxy Shahidi’s exit storyline.Â
But other fans seem to think that would be too obvious for the show, and are expecting someone else to say goodbye to the village. And unfortunately, Vanessa is a huge theory.
There will be two limos – one for the boys, one for the girls – heading on a big night out. And quite a lot of the villagers are there, giving us a lot of potential victims.
When no drivers appear, Charity and Caleb decide to take on the roles. But things take a dark turn when both limos get into separate accidents. And one of them ends up on a frozen lake – but which one?
At the beginning of 2025, the ITV soap gave us numerous flashforwards of things to come this year. And we saw an ominous hand banging on ice to get out.
So it looks like we’re about to see exactly who that was. And who dies.
The couple became a huge fan-favourite on the show very quickly. And as the years have gone by, that has not changed at all. Despite not having much interaction with each other anymore, fans cling to any tiny scenes they get.
But a new fan theory on X pointed out that Vanessa’s death looks like it is sealed.
They wrote: “So guys, what if Vanessa actually does die. And then Charity steps up and takes on raising Johnny because she did adopt him at one point?”
Charity adopted Johnny when she and Vanessa were together, and Vanessa was going through her cancer treatment.
The heartbreaking fan theory did not go down well with Vanity fans, who are terrified of losing all possibilities of a reunion.
One commented: “Can we all please stop saying Vanessa is going to die. I can’t watch that.”
Vanessa’s death would open up numerous different story arcs for many villagers. Charity would find herself not only grieving someone she loved so much, but also facing reality that she was the one driving the limo.
Then Suzy would be grieving her girlfriend – would Mary use that to get closer to her? And on top of all the trauma that has hit Rhona recently, she would be saying goodbye to her best friend.
So could the Emmerdale death be this heartbreaking for everyone? We hope not!
