It’s a brand new week in Emmerdale and with worlds set to collide, lives set to be altered and hearts set to be broken, it’s bound to be a good one!

Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) is sweating as his two lives begin to bleed into one another, as his husband Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) find themselves in each others orbit, and it seems only a matter of time before they collide.

Elsewhere, Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) makes a potentially fatal mistake when he mows down Jimmy King (Nick Miles), leading Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) to swear revenge, Ruby Fox-Milligan (Beth Cordingly) and Caleb Miligan (William Ash) make a dark discovery and Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) launches his new prostate checking campaign.

Excited? Us too! Let’s spill some more tea…

Monday, October 20

Robert is stricken with panic as his worlds begin to collide. With Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) hot on his heels for him to reveal all to Aaron. After introducing Kev to Charles (Kevin Mathurin) and Claudette Anderson (Flo Wilson), Robert begins to sweat as Kev encounters Aaron at the café.

In his efforts to fix his relationship with April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) seeks help from Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle), who tries to reassure him that April is okay. Unsatisfied, Marlon offers Dylan a shift at the Woolpack, hoping to use him as a conduit to mend things with his daughter.

April, meanwhile, is pressured by Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) into going through with the prostitution jobs. Later, Ray and Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) discuss Dylan, April and the problems within their criminal enterprise.

Elsewhere, as the war between the Kings and the Tates rages on, Joe is utterly infuriated when the police tell he and Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) that they won’t be taking the case against Carl Holliday (Charlie Munro Joyce) any further, meanwhile, as Liam launches his prostate checking campaign, Claudette opens up about losing her brother to prostate cancer.

Joe is horrified when he hits Jimmy in his car. With Caleb having seen everything, he’s forced to call an ambulance and clashes with Nicola, who insists Joe hit her husband purposefully.

As she swears to tell the police that this was a retaliatory attack, Joe is forced to ask Caleb for help, who thoroughly enjoys toying with him, fully aware of the power he holds.

Robert continues to sweat as Aaron and Kev continue to circle each other and he finally decides to end things with his prison husband. He’s later racked with guilt when Aaron makes a public declaration of their reunion. 

Also in the village, Dylan is utterly elated when Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) presents him with a rally driving experience, but is soon crestfallen when it clashes with a job from Ray, and Claudette is incensed to learn that Charles has been lying about getting prostate checks.

As Joe arrives at the depot to face Caleb, they’re horrified when they find a terrified woman, Anya, hiding in one of the vans. As Ruby arrives, shortly followed by the police, Anya runs, leaving Ruby to chase after her.

Nicola is incredibly raw as Jimmy remains unconscious and, as Dawn attempts to call an end to their feud, Nicole reinforces that she wants justice for her husband.

When Mandy catches Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) looking through Vinny Dingle’s (Bradley Johnson) phone, she panics as to whether the newlyweds have already grown apart.

Meanwhile, despite Kev’s protestations that he’s changed, Robert is still unnerved by his aggression, and Liam is overjoyed to see so many men waiting to receive a prostate check, thanking his best friend Cain for his help

Thursday, October 23

Both Kev and Aaron are sus as Robert continues to try and juggle them both and, as Aaron heads to confront him, he finds him kissing Kev and immediately breaks up with him.

Robert, desperate to fix things, spills his guts to Aaron, revealing the marriage, Kev’s terminal illness and the large amount of money he’s due to inherit, but vows to end his scheme if Aaron will stay with him.

What will Aaron make of Robert’s plot?

Elsewhere, Gabby finally makes an enormous decision, blindsiding Vinny, while Caleb and Ruby draft Liam in to help with Anya. When he recommends they turn her over to the police, they both struggle with the decision.

What’ll they do with Anya?

Friday, October 24

Dylan continues to have his feet held to the fire as Ray pressures him to steal the depot’s driving schedules, but is busted by Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson).

When Dylan later turns down a job with Ray to attend the driving experience day with Paddy, Ray fumes, reminding him that the debt he’s neck-deep in isn’t shrinking.

Elsewhere, Caleb throws cash at a problem, hoping it’ll go away.
