Emmerdale in another schedule shake-up as soap to air an earlier extended episode TONIGHT
Monday's episode ended on a tantalising cliffhanger
EMMERDALE is set to air an earlier extended episode TONIGHT in a schedule shake-up.
Last night’s instalment was pushed back due to ITV‘s coverage of the UEFA Women’s Nations League.
Fans will be treated with an hour long instalment tonight to make up for the lost episode.
It will be airing on screens from 7pm until concluding at 8pm.
Viewers had been left desperate for answers as Monday’s episode ended on a tense cliffhanger.
Ruby Fox-Miligan confessed to the police that she k.i.l.l.e.d her abusive father, Anthony Fox.
Upon hearing a body had been recovered from the dredged village lake, Ruby and her family were left panicked.
Believing her days were numbered, she snuck away from home to give herself up.
Ruby k.i.l.l.e.d Anthony – who had molested her as a child and even fathered her daughter, Steph – in January, although initially Aaron Dingle was believed to have done it.
Although Aaron did brutally batter him, Ruby was the one who finished him off – leaving Aaron to recruit John Sugden to help him dispose of the body.
Viewers are aware the body in the lake is actually Nate Robinson, who hasn’t been seen in the Dales since September last year.
In February, the soap revealed Nate’s true fate after seemingly departing for Shetland.
A hen party crashed into the icy lake, which is when fans spotted the body for the first time.
It was only a bracelet from Nate’s daughter Frankie that revealed his identity.
John Sugden was later revealed to have k.i.l.l.e.d Nate accidentally – before disposing of his body in the lake.
The army medic has since become one of the show’s most acctive k.i.l.l.e.r.s – also offing his ex-boyfriend on his wedding day to Aaron.
Ruby, Aaron and John had been keeping quiet about the cover-up.
However, Ruby’s husband Caleb and his half-siblings Cain and Chas Dingle were later brought into the fold.
Will Ruby’s confession inadvertently bring down her co-conspirators?
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
