Meanwhile, Liam attempts to get through to Cain once more
As we welcome another week in Emmerdale, there’s set to be more drama in store for the residents of the Yorkshire-based ITV soap. Last week, we finally learned more about Kammy’s background, Cain was arrested following him adjusting to his catheter removal, and Gabby tried her best to impress Ross.
However, next week viewers will see Laurel and Ross trying to navigate the early days of their affair as things heat up quickly between the pair. Meanwhile, poor Gabby is trying to recover from her rejection.
With the scheming Dr Todd determined to rinse Charity of every last penny in exchange for the safety of her baby Leyla secret, Charity is pushed to extreme measures after Kim Tate has some bad news to share.
Here’s what’s coming up next in the Dales…
Charity becomes desperate…
Kim pulls out of the Woolpack purchase, and in her desperation, Charity tries to scavenge a loan from Kim. After Charity’s left shouting about the sale to departing Kim, Chas wants to know what’s going on. Defeated, Charity finally admits to Chas that she’s being blackmailed by Todd over Leyla’s parentage.
Chas and Charity hatch a plan to rob the Home Farm safe to pay Todd. Soon, Charity gives Todd some money as a down payment, but remorseless Todd tells her she still wants the rest of the cash tomorrow or she’ll blow the Leyla secret at Sarah’s 21st birthday party.
Ross and Laurel’s affair heats up…
Gabby resorts to drinking away her self-pity and opens up to Dawn about Ross rejecting her. Dawn confronts Ross, who says there’s only one woman he’s interested in and it’s not Gabby – the subtext clear to Laurel. Ross promises to keep their entanglement on the down low, and Laurel succumbs to her passion for him.
Meanwhile, Sam’s desperate for more dance lessons from Ross so he can impress Lydia, but in turn, Lydia’s left hurt when this means Sam has to turn down a cosy evening in. Kim’s taken aback to discover that Sam’s been lying about working extra hours to avoid spending time with his wife. She’s left deeply concerned for Lydia.
Later on, with Lydia feeling estranged from Sam, Kim’s suspicions about his behaviour continue to grow. Meanwhile, Nicola is living vicariously through Laurel and Ross’ dalliance, although she’s dangerously close to spilling the tea to Manpreet. Ross is chuffed to contemplate another night with Laurel.
However, desperate for dance lessons from Ross, Sam crashes his romantic moment with Laurel, and Ross is quick to cover that Laurel will be helping Sam dance. Laurel’s enjoying the thrill of her secret affair and hearing Gabby firmly declare how she’s over Ross, Laurel’s pleased to shed her guilt that their affair may be betraying her.
Elsewhere in the village…
After finding out that they’ve been conned by Archie, Kerry and Pollard present a united front as they get their money back; Archie’s punishment is to start working in the shop. Pollard’s impressed by Archie’s cunning money-making scheme.
Liam advises Cain to find a practical solution to start living his life again. Gabby’s hangover has her contemplating clean living, and she investigates giving the Hide a new healthy menu.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
