Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson) and Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) were busy getting ready for their wedding in Wednesday’s (April 17) episode of Emmerdale, only to have their smiles wiped from their faces when Kerry (Laura Norton) revealed some shocking news.
Recently, Kerry told Amy and Matty that she could pay for their wedding at Home Farm. The schemer had hoped selling her necklace would do the trick, but was told by Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) that it’s actually a fake.
As Mandy (Lisa Riley) and Moira (Natalie J Robb) helped Matty get ready at the salon, Amy was at home showing off her dress to the likes of Vic (Isabel Hodgins) and Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant).
Kerry was sat at the table and then turned the music off. With no choice, she told her daughter the wedding is off because she can’t pay for it.
A disappointed and devastated Amy dashed outside to find Matty. She broke the news and made it abundantly clear her relationship with Kerry was over.
Back at the house, Kerry was paid a visit by Eric. She felt terrible for her lies and said she just wanted to give Amy something that would make her happy.
Meanwhile, at Take a Vow, Amy and Matty were facing the prospect of organising their big day all over again.
After Leyla (Roxy Shahidi) received a phone call, she excitedly told Amy and Matty that the wedding is back on!
At Home Farm, as the celebration finally got underway, it became apparent Pollard had paid for the entire thing.
He told Kim (Claire King) that Amy is family, so of course he wanted to help, but Kim couldn’t help grow suspicious over the very sudden and large gesture.
After the wedding, Eric snuck away and got into a man’s car.
The unknown face gave Eric another envelope full of cash. It was then confirmed Pollard could only pay for Matty and Amy’s wedding because he flogged some jewellery.
Eric seemed pleased with his deal and looked tempted to continue selling expensive items, but is this a good idea?
Could this be a move Eric will regret later down the line?
