The walls close in on John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) in Emmerdale next week, as revealed in my new picture gallery, and if you can’t wait until then, I’ve got all of the hottest goss from the village right here!
John’s attempts to cover Nate Robinson’s murder intensify when Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh) gives Nate’s dad Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) a birthday card for him.
Realising that his son can’t stay away from the Dales any longer, he reaches out and leaves a voicemail.
Little does Cain realise, John is listening back to his words. Another call comes through, and John accidentally answers it.
His web of lies is becoming more entwined, and Cain is left with a lot of questions.
Wife Moira (Natalie J Robb) encourages him not to give up on Nate, and after some support from Tracy, decides he’s going to travel to Shetland and find him.
How will John react when he learns Cain is leaving?
Elsewhere, Steph Miligan (Georgia Jay) is adamant to go ahead with her rhinoplasty and tells parents Caleb and Ruby (William Ash and Beth Cordingly) that she’s booked a holiday.
They become suspicious when the flight can’t be tracked, and are horrified to discover she has been consulting with a plastic surgeon.
Rushing to stop her, she’s more determined than ever to go ahead with the operation. Later, she goes into meltdown and smashes the kitchen.
Ross Barton (Michael Parr) is caught in the firing line, and attempts to give her a shoulder to cry on. She’s riddled with guilt over her actions, and knocks back a bottle of vodka.
There’s concerns for Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) when she tells Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) that she plans to have IVF – she’s desperate for a baby, not a boyfriend.
Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) is unconvinced that it is possible given her condition, and Sarah is unable to accept it.
After hearing that she has contacted some clinics, Vanessa urges the youngster to come clean to granny Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).
Plus, Chas Dingle and Liam Cavanagh (Lucy Pargeter and Jonny McPherson) are in disbelief when PC Swirling (Andy Moore) tells them that Ella Forster (Paula Lane) can’t have attacked him.
Sarah encourages Vanessa to make amends with Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson), and Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) comforts husband Billy (Jay Kontzle) when their son Evan is rushed to hospital.
It’s a busy week in the village!
