The week ahead in Emmerdale – the biggest plots in next week’s spoilers including Steph’s devastating discovery
And Marlon gets it very wrong as he frames Dylan
Next week’s Emmerdale spoilers are looking pretty exciting, with one particular storyline that we’ve been waiting a loooong time for. It looks like Steph will finally find out what her grandad was truly like – and we hope she has a big apology for her mum at the ready.
Also next week, Marlon makes a terrible mistake as he desperately tries to protect April – and gets it really wrong again.
Here’s our pick of the biggest plots to look out for in next week’s Emmerdale spoilers.
1. Steph’s devastating discovery
After weeks of wailing round the village shouting ‘grandad’ over and over, Steph is no closer to finding him next week. But then she takes a call from a friend of Anthony’s who explains they were expecting the old man for a visit and he hasn’t shown up.
With Ruby still behaving erratically as well, that’s all it takes to put Steph back on the case. She heads to Caleb’s office to look for a clue, but Caleb catches her. Steph is sure her parents know something about Anthony’s disappearance – well she’s not wrong on that one!
With Caleb begging Ross to get Steph to back off, it has the opposite effect, especially when she discovers the gun. Knowing it had to be involved, Steph doesn’t buy it when Caleb tells her he got the weapon to k.i.l.l Cain. Will Cain back up his brother’s story, though?
Ruby is overwhelmed as she tries to cope and as Caleb tries to comfort her, they are thrown when Ross delivers more bad news: Steph is reporting them to the police.
There’s only one way to stop her: the truth. The truth will hurt, but will Caleb and Ruby use it to save their skin? And will we finally stop hearing Steph screeching ‘grandad’ every five minutes?
2. Marlon seriously messes up in Emmerdale spoilers
Things kick off when Rhona discovers ketamine is missing from the vets. All the fingers immediately point at Dylan. He denies it, but the drugs are found in his coat pocket.
With April crushed by his betrayal, Dylan leaves. But it turns out he was telling the truth when Marlon confesses to Rhona he took the ketamine and framed Dylan.
News soon reaches them that Dylan has overdosed and Marlon feels awful. So he should.
Rhona encourages him not to be honest with April otherwise their relationship will never recover. But seeing Dylan so ill in hospital, Marlon confesses to him what he did. He begs for forgiveness and graciously Dylan doesn’t want to upset April by revealing the truth about her dad.
It probably helps that Marlon offers to pay for Dylan to go to rehab. But just before he goes, Dylan wants to talk to April with something to tell her. Marlon is terrified his secret will come out, but will Dylan be so cruel?
3. Baby tragedy for Sarah
Sarah wants to keep her baby, whether Jacob is involved or not. Supportive Charity takes her to see Manpreet at the surgery – given Sarah’s life-limiting condition, they want to make sure they are taking all the care they can do.
Manpreet does another test to check and the results are heartbreaking: Sarah isn’t pregnant. Given she has a shortened life expectancy, Sarah is devastated; she thinks she’s missed her only chance to become a mum. Is she right?
4. Manpreet is the prescription Billy needs in Emmerdale spoilers
After we discovered Manpreet was being blackmailed over sexy photos she’s put online, she is still on edge.
Over at Home Farm, Billy is feeling neglected and rejected by Dawn. He decides to get a little comfort elsewhere and soon logs on, trying to view Manpreet’s profile.
With Dawn’s head still turned by Joe, Kim is horrified when Dawn confesses her feelings for Joe are going nowhere.
So are they both set to play away as Billy looks to Manpreet and Dawn carries on with Joe?
5. Also in Emmerdale spoilers next week…
April’s baby is given a funeral, but April refuses to attend. Marlon and Rhona want her to scatter Rebecca’s ashes, but will April agree to do so?
Elsewhere, Pollard asks Tracy to come to the Woolpack for a chat. She is filled with dread, sure he must know her secret. But does he?
