The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated April 10. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX and YouTube.

It’s taken her way longer than I expected, but Emmerdale’s Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) is finally beginning to see Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) for who he really is.

Dawn was waved a giant red flag last year when she discovered that Joe was responsible for the limo crash, which killed three women. She was utterly horrified that she had let her children around this man and yet still…she didn’t leave him.

Staggering I know.

The couple are now engaged, and Dawn recently made it clear to Joe that she’d like to have a baby with him. Their journey so far this year has been great for Joe – he lives in a big house, has a family, and is gaining access to more farmland and money through totally vile means that Dawn is oblivious to. He has lots of power – but that’s now starting to go to his head.

As part of Joe’s plan to gain access to Butler’s, he blackmailed Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) into planting some ID cards found on Celia’s farmland. Joe had obtained footage of Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) killing her brother John earlier in the year, and told Robert that he’d take it to the police if he didn’t do as he was asked.

Robert hid the passports, but had no idea that they were stolen by a woman responsible for such horror. He’s been well aware that he’s one of the reasons Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) is in prison, but kept it to himself to protect Victoria.

When Robert learnt about Moira’s plan to plead guilty at the hearing, he felt horrendous. He headed to Home Farm and asked Joe if there was anything they could do, but that poisonous power and greed led him to basically ignore everything Robert was saying.

Robert decided to try and bring Joe down a peg or two in today’s episode, and enlisted help from Ross Barton (Michael Parr). Just like his Director of Operations job, Ross wasn’t very good at helping Robert, so he was forced to sort everything himself.

Robert attempted to get into Joe’s computer to access the video of Vic, but was caught by Dawn. He tried to cover, but Dawn ended up finding the video.

It was at this point another red flag appeared in front of her face only this time, Dawn actually acknowledged it was there. She confronted Joe about the video, and then deleted it from his device. Dawn was totally disgusted and told Joe that it feels like she doesn’t know him anymore.

Joe claimed that he kept the video for insurance purposes, and everything he did after was for his and Dawn’s family. In the past, these types of comments from Joe would’ve been enough to win Dawn over – but not this time.

She packed a bag and left Home Farm, telling Joe that she’d be spending the night at Billy Fletcher’s (Jay Kontzle).

Joe was left standing all alone in Home Farm, somewhat shocked that things had escalated so badly. We now know that Olivia Bromley will leave her role as Dawn Taylor this year, suggesting things with Joe aren’t going to get back on track.

Will Dawn simply leave Emmerdale?

Or will Joe take action to prevent her from telling anyone else about his grim moves?

Things got a little awkward, although very funny for Adam Thomas recently, after he found himself in what he described as a ‘very difficult’ situation involving his brother’s girlfriend.

The former Emmerdale star shared the story on the brothers’ podcast, ‘At Home With The Thomas Bros’, where nothing is off limits and embarrassing family moments are very much fair game.

Chatting alongside his brothers Ryan Thomas and Scott Thomas, Adam admitted he was left completely flustered after unexpectedly walking into Scott’s house.

According to Adam, he had popped round casually, not realising Scott’s girlfriend, pro dancer Lauren Kingsman, was there. And when he walked in, he got a bit more of a surprise than he bargained for.

‘I didn’t know Lauren was there,’ he explained, already cringing at the memory. ‘So I’ve walked in, and she’s all nonchalant in these jogging bottoms and this bikini top…’

Scott quickly jumped in to correct him, laughing, ‘sports bra.’

But the damage was already done.

Adam went on to admit that he didn’t quite know where to look as Lauren tried to chat with him. ‘She was trying to have a conversation with me and for a guy, my natural instinct was just to…’ he said, gesturing to his eyes while his brothers burst out laughing.

It didn’t take long for Ryan to wind him up either, joking: ‘So what you’re telling me is that you fancy your brother’s girlfriend?’

Adam was quick to shut that down. ‘No! It was just a… very difficult situation,’ he insisted. ‘She’s trying to have a conversation with me and I’m just sweating and I need to go. I just need to go.’

Safe to say, he didn’t stick around long.

The brothers’ podcast has become a go-to for fans who love hearing their unfiltered chats. Meanwhile, Scott and Lauren’s relationship has been going strong since they made things official on New Year’s Eve 2025. The couple first went public after Scott’s stint on Love Island All Stars, which came nearly a decade after he first rose to fame on Love Island.

Since then, Scott has been open about how much Lauren means to him, especially during a difficult time in his life following the loss of his beloved dog, Juno.

Sharing an emotional tribute at the time, Scott revealed he felt the timing of meeting Lauren brought him a sense of comfort. He described his pet as his ‘whole entire life’ and said he believed everything happened when it was meant to.

‘I really do believe in divine timing,’ he said, explaining how Lauren had been there to support him when he needed it most.

Lauren has also already met the wider Thomas family, after joining them for New Year’s celebrations, and it sounds like she’s passed the test. Ryan, who is in a relationship with Lucy Mecklenburgh, reportedly gave the relationship his seal of approval.

As for Adam, he might need a bit more time to recover from that first encounter. It’s a conversation only brothers could have and get away with. The trio are known for pulling each other’s legs, but they don’t shy away from opening up about the more serious subjects on their show either.

But at least he can laugh about it now, even if he did make a very quick exit at the time.

The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated April 3. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

The literal key to saving Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) from the rest of her life in prison is currently laying among the grounds of Celia Daniels’ (Jaye Griffiths) old farm in Emmerdale. The problem? No one knows about it.

Evil Celia was killed by her son Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) at the start of this year. He then buried her body on land belonging to Butler’s Farm. Right beside Celia’s shallow grave was another one, hiding refugee Anya’s body.

Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly), who knew Anya, began to suspect that the young woman was dead after a comment from Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards). She found the grave and called the police, but had no idea for a second that they’d discover another body in the ground.

As a result of finding the bodies on her farmland, Moira is facing a double murder charge. You’d think this was enough drama for Moira to come up against, but a plan created by Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) has meant she’s also potentially going to be sentenced for modern slavery.

Joe told Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) to plant the ID cards from Celia’s house in Butler’s, which meant it looked like Moira had something to do with the horror that went on at Celia’s farm.

The issue Moira has is that no-one has any evidence to prove she is innocent, but that all changed in today’s instalment.

Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) and Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) decide to head to Celia’s farm on their quest to confront their inner demons. Outside the house was a huge pile of furniture items, which Paddy and Marlon proceeded to smash up.

The episode focused solely on Marlon and Paddy, and explored how they were feeling about difficult situations in their lives at the moment. For Paddy, it was his upcoming trial and for Marlon, it was his fear that Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) is going to leave him for Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough).

We also saw the two men discuss how they handled the situation with Celia and Ray. Smashing chairs and tables to pieces was certainly a good way of getting their anger out of their system, but both Marlon and Paddy found talking honestly about their thoughts far more beneficial when it came to moving forward.

As they reflected on the torture that occurred at Celia’s farm, Marlon spotted a key with a label on that said ‘HSU107’. Due to the fact the police had already turned the place over, Marlon and Paddy concluded that the key probably wasn’t important.

But it was.

In central Hotten, we saw a storage facility and the contents of unit 107. It was completely packed full of paperwork – which will more than likely prove Moira’s innocence.

But with Marlon and Paddy believing the key isn’t important, no one else has any reason to go back to Celia’s farm.

How will they find it?

Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) is going to face more than Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) based trouble in the coming months, as Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) is returning to Emmerdale.

The character was introduced to us last year. He arrived in the village looking for Robert and when he eventually laid eyes on him, Kev made a comment that allowed us to discover he’s Robert’s husband.

Kev rocking up was so badly timed, as Robert had just got back on track with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller). A flashback episode allowed us to learn that Kev and Robert tied the knot in prison after spending months developing a secret relationship.

As we got to know Kev, it became clear that the complex character had a possessive streak and was absolutely terrified about losing Robert. Behind bars, Kev had told Robert that he was dying, and also stabbed himself when he learnt about Robert’s attempt at appealing against his case.

Robert ended his relationship with Kev because he couldn’t continue pretending to be in love with him, while seeing Aaron. When reality hit Kev that he had lost Robert, he held him, Aaron and Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) hostage in Mill Cottage flat with a sword.

Kev headed out of the village but made a return towards the end of last year. He had been captured by John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), who was busy creating a plan to get rid of Robert so he could be with Aaron.

Kev ended up alerting Aaron to the imminent danger and fled the Dales once more. Even though Kev is unpredictable and intimidating, fans of the ITV soap really enjoyed getting to know him.

The character is set to head back to the Dales in the not too distant future. When he arrives, it becomes clear Kev has been very busy as he’s launched a new business venture – and it’s set to stir up trouble for the locals.

Judging by the picture in this article, Kev appears to be starting a new pop-up café., It’s called A Slice of Kev-en, which honestly makes me want to get up off my chair and applaud.

As he gets settled back into Emmerdale, Kev will also have to decide whether or not to tell Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) that he is his biological father.

Discussing the return, producer of the show Laura Shaw said: ‘Both Chris and the character of Kev made a massive impact on the show last year, so Chris is most definitely back by popular demand. With Kev’s son, Lewis, in the village still unaware of who his father is, it’s safe to say that there’s a lot of unfinished business and drama ahead.’

Chris Coghill added: ‘I’m really pleased to be returning to Emmerdale, I had a brilliant time last year. Kev is a complex character that I love playing.

Emmerdale’s Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) has been through a lot. He was believed to be dead for six years, which is, admittedly, a bit of a conversation starter. If anyone’s got a perspective on what really matters, it’s Graham.

He’s tried to dish out some words of wisdom to protégé Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) a number of times, but he hasn’t really listened. Joe spent the start of 2026 trying to get the Sugden farmland and Butler’s Farm, and resorted to some pretty dirty tricks to secure the land.

During this, Graham warned Joe and said that if he wasn’t careful, the power he was holding in his hands would eventually turn poisonous.

This went right over Joe’s head, and he proceeded to behave horrendously in the aftermath of Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) being told he’d need to move out of his home. Perhaps this was a first sign that Graham was right – the power is now going right to Joe’s head.

With the farmland secure, you’d be forgiven for wondering if Joe was going to have a rest from playing the evil villain of Emmerdale, but no.

Earlier this week, Graham found Kim Tate’s (Claire King) will in the safe. He gave it to Joe, who then discovered that Kim wants Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) to have Home Farm after her death.

Joe was furious, telling Graham that he deserves the big house because it’s his birthright.

Unsurprisingly, Joe wasn’t willing to do the adult thing and sit down and tell Kim how he feels about Lydia inheriting Home Farm. Why would he have an honest conversation when it’s far easier (apparently) to bend the rules and try and get what he wants that way?

Joe’s plan started when he gave Lydia a surprise pay rise, and attempted to be nice by telling her that if there’s anything she needs amid her constant Dingle family drama stress, he’ll be there.

He then called a friend and set up a bank account in Lydia’s name. Graham snoops on Joe’s computer in today’s episode – now available on ITVX – and realises Joe is intending on making it look like Lydia is stealing from Kim, hoping it’ll be enough to get her removed from the will.

Both Graham and Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) confront Joe about his vile move, but their words don’t seem to hit.

It doesn’t look as though Joe is going to realise he’s gone too far – which means someone surprising needs to take him down a peg or two.

And who better to do this than the most innocent and kind-hearted Home Farm employee?

I’m talking about Lydia of course. On the same day Joe gave her a sudden pay rise, Lydia told Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), Sam Dingle (James Hooton) and Cain that it’s a good job she still works at Home Farm, as she can keep an eye on Joe.

Is Lydia going to work out what Joe is up to with the new bank account and tell Kim?

The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated March 18. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

A very unexpected person has come forward as part of an attempt to save Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) from going to prison in Emmerdale.

On Monday, Bear was back at the police station being questioned by DS Walsh (Amanda Ryan), who was determined to get the truth out of him regarding what actually happened on the day Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) was killed.

For a little while, Bear maintained that he was the only one at the scene when Ray died, but got caught out thanks to a smart move from Walsh.

The detective asked Bear to tie the specific knot that was used when Ray’s body got wrapped up and dumped in a depot van. Because Bear couldn’t guess the correct one, it proved he was lying.

In an attempt to protect Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt), Bear suddenly blurted out that he did intend on killing Ray after all, increasing his chance of being sent to prison for the rest of his life.

Paddy was desperate to find something to help his dad in yesterday’s episode, and concluded that the only way of increasing Bear’s chance of not facing a murder charge would be to tell Walsh that he lied about where he was when Ray died.

Paddy and Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) headed to the station and told Walsh the truth. They were charged with perverting the course of justice and because their lies meant police time was wasted, Paddy and Dylan were told they wouldn’t be returning home anytime soon.

The absence of her two boys left Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) wandering the village like a lost dog as today’s instalment opened.

Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) was at the door ahead of a meeting with Zara the solicitor. Inside, Chas, Mandy, April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) all listened as Zara explained what will happen next with Paddy, Bear and Dylan.

She pointed out that if anyone saw Ray before he went to attack Dylan on that day, they could tell the police about his state of mind, and increase the possibility of the jury believing Bear killed Ray in self-defence.

Aaron later told Mandy that all they need to do is get someone to lie, make up a statement about Ray, and it would give Bear, Paddy and Dylan a little bit more hope.

In the café, Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) happened to mention seeing Ray before he went into Tenants, and Mandy and Aaron’s answer was staring them right in the face.

They asked Laurel to lie to the police, but she really didn’t want to due to the fact she could also end up in prison for not being honest.

Overhearing the conversation was Arthur Thomas (Alfie Clarke), who – to literally no one’s surprise – had something to say about Laurel’s reluctance to help out.

He pushed Laurel to make the statement, pointing out how much things could change if she did. The fear of leaving her children behind because she lied to the police was too much though – Laurel wasn’t going to do it.

So, Arthur took it upon himself to head to the pub and tell Mandy and Aaron that he’d do it instead.

Maybe this is some weird way of getting rid of his guilt because he put his mum Laurel in hospital the other week.

Potentially being hailed as a hero who freed three people is no doubt an attractive prospect to Arthur, who was only telling his mum the other week that it he feels bored and stuck in the village.

Does Arthur simply want to help because he’s being kind?

Or is there another reason?

It doesn’t take a genius to work out Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) hugely dislikes Kim Tate (Claire King) in Emmerdale.

Ever since he returned from the dead, Graham has grown annoyed at how much protégé Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) has changed as a result of living with and learning from Kim.

After making a comment about how he’s technically still married to Kim, Graham left her fearing that he was only back in the village because he now believes he’s entitled to some of her assets.

They were also involved in a tense scene recently, where Graham left Kim somewhat on edge when he pointed out that he’s the only person at Home Farm who knows her incredibly well and because of that, it puts him at a huge advantage.

He didn’t confirm his plans to go up against her, but this moment allowed Graham to state that if they were to go to war, she wouldn’t have an easy fight on her hands.

It’s not often we see Kim unable to hold her own, but the expression on her face once Graham left suggested that he had touched a nerve.

If Graham is busy planning on destroying Kim, he will need someone other than Joe Tate to help him.

This is where Caleb Miligan (William Ash) could be about to prove very useful.

Shortly after Graham entered the pub to announce his return to a number of other village residents, Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) got up and introduced herself. Caleb didn’t need to though, as he already knows Graham.

In 2023, when Caleb was busy trying to take Home Farm from Kim, we also learnt that he’s the son of Frank Tate.

Frank died after suffering a heart attack, and Kim took great pleasure in watching it happen.

Caleb believed that he was entitled to what Kim owns, and arrived in the village hellbent on completely destroying her. In June of that year, Caleb revealed his identity to Kim, and said that he knows she let Frank die.

Curious as to how he knew of something that occurred so many years ago, Kim was stunned when Caleb confirmed he got Graham Foster drunk, and then learnt everything about Frank’s final moments.

If it comes down to it, Graham could easily get Caleb involved with his plan to remove Kim from Home Farm.

His own attempt at doing so failed miserably, so he will more than likely jump at the chance of finally getting what he believes he’s entitled to.

If Graham brings Joe and Caleb in on his plan, what hope does Kim have fighting this battle alone?

Emmerdale’s Danny Miller has shared an emotional video after visiting his father, who has dementia.

Danny, who is 35, is best known for playing Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap.

The star has been incredibly open about how his dad Vince Miller, is living with dementia. Vince is a well-known figure in Manchester’s entertainment scene, having spent decades working as a compère and host for some of the UK’s biggest acts, including The Beatles and Take That.

This week, Danny paid another visit to his dad, but had to pull over on his way home to try and calm down after another emotional conversation.

‘If you’re lucky enough to still have a relationship with your parents, you still have them around whether they’re together or separated, if they’re still here, and you still get to talk to them, just cherish that moment every time you talk to them’, he begins in the video shared to his Instagram.

Danny decided to share how he was feeling because he’s hugely passionate about helping others in similar situations. He spoke in the video about how difficult it is to have the same conversation with his dad, who consistently asks about whether he’s back filming at Emmerdale, and how his children are.

The actor gets tearful as he reflects on the fact when his dad was of sound mind, he’d often put him on mute during phone calls because ‘he would just rant at me for a good 10, 15 minutes’.

‘I would do anything in the world to have that moment back right now’, Danny said as he reflected on the harsh reality of dementia completely altering his father’s life.

‘Dementia’s so cruel’.

‘I miss my Dad so much man, I really do’, he adds.

Danny was inundated with supportive messages from his followers and friends in the industry. The likes of Isabel Hodgins, Bradley Riches and Michael Parr have sent Danny heart emojis, while Paula Lane (Ella Forster) said: ‘It really hurts…thank you for sharing’.

The charity Alzheimer’s Research UK said: ‘Thanks so much for sharing this Danny, sending you and your dad all our love. We promise our work won’t stop until everyone is free from the heartbreak of dementia.’

This follower of Danny’s wrote: ‘So sorry to see what your dad is going through. I lost my aunt to this same battle, and it’s heart-wrenching. Thank you for raising awareness and showing the world the love that remains even through the toughest days. Stay strong’.

Another shared their own experiences and said: ‘Totally understand this Danny I’m going through it with my mum and I’d give anything in this world to have my mum back as I know her.

‘I spoke to her multiple times a day every day and now she can barely talk so I can’t call her and tell her all the little things and it hurts so so bad. Thank you for posting this we’re all with you xx’.

Danny has played the role of Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale on and off since 2008.

The character is currently enjoying some well deserved peace and quiet, following a nightmarish 2025 that saw him in danger many times as a result of John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth).

Aaron has reunited with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and they’re now engaged.

Following Victoria Sugden’s (Isabel Hodgins) departure, Robert is determined to build up the Sugden farm legacy again, and Aaron has reassured his partner that he’ll be there every step of the way.

Arthur Thomas (Alfie Clarke) is fast becoming Emmerdale’s number one ratbag and Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) can no longer protect him.

He began to turn to the dark side when he stole Ray Walters’ (Joe Absolom) bag which transpired to contain drugs and money. Instead of giving it back, he kept it and while Laurel ditched the drugs on his behalf, Arthur kept the money and started imagining himself living the high-baller life.

He flashed his new cash, buying himself a new phone and showing it off to April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), which wasn’t the smartest move as she ended up tugging at his heartstrings over how poor Ray has left her family, making Arthur thinking perhaps he should hand over the cash.

But moral-less Arthur managed to stave off that thought and held on to the money with plans to nick off to Australia.

Laurel was horrified at how cold her son had become, they rowed, and she scratched him with the ring. This was the moment that cemented Arthur becoming the little devil he now is.

But there is worse to come. With another row between mother and son brewing, Arthur will rapidly lost his cool and do the unthinkable – push Laurel in a fit of rage and give her a head injury.

She is rushed to hospital with concussion with Arthur feeling somewhat sheepish. Initially, it appears she doesn’t know what had happened and Arthur feels guilty at the prospect of having damaged her memory.

But she’s hiding something.

When Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) questions her, Laurel sticks to her account that she blacked out and fell on the stairs, but Nicola is worried there is a medical explanation for her friend’s fall.

Arthur is sweating; no one yet knows he did this atrocious thing to his mum, but he knows it will come out soon.

After Laurel is treated, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) is horrified to see Laurel experience a dizzy moment. It piques Arthur’s guilt as he starts to wonder if his actions have caused Laurel lasting damage.

Kim Tate (Claire King) has been suspicious of Graham Foster’s (Andrew Scarborough) return from the very start in Emmerdale but then again, it’s hardly surprising.

When Graham swanned back into Home Farm, he told Kim that he was back for Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), who he thought of as a son the last time he was in the village. At the time, both Joe and Kim told Graham that they would’ve preferred it if he stayed dead, but now things have changed.

Joe has decided to give Graham another chance, much to Kim’s annoyance. To further irritate her, Graham is also living in her house.

Kim still believes that Graham is an incredibly arrogant man who is only back in Emmerdale for his own gain. As she cares about Joe, it makes seeing him interact with Graham and get close to him tricky, as she cannot shake the feeling he’s going to end up getting hurt.

This theory was fuelled in this evening’s episode, as Kim spotted Graham speaking with a surprising resident.

In the morning, Joe, Kim and Graham were in the kitchen speaking about Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) stealing the DeLorean last week. Joe had decided Graham needed to get it back, but Kim pointed out that she could do it, and wouldn’t create anymore drama in the process.

Joe declined her offer though and reiterated that he had already asked Graham to get the vehicle back. Was Kim jealous in this moment? More than likely, but admitting that wasn’t ever going to happen.

Graham headed to Butlers and found the car, but also discovered a letter than confirmed Cain’s cancer diagnosis. He tried to speak with the troubled man later in the day, and even revealed his father’s prostate cancer journey by way of trying to connect, but Cain didn’t want to listen.

He wasn’t given much choice but to listen to Graham as the evening drew in, as he arrived and sat opposite Cain in the pub. Graham told Cain to stop fighting with the Tates and focus on his health and Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb). He also shook his hand and confirmed he wouldn’t tell anyone about the diagnosis.

Just as this happened, Kim walked in. She immediately grew suspicious and this week, Kim will orchestrate a situation in the hope of proving Graham is planning on betraying Joe.

Ever since Graham returned, he’s reminded people of his loyalty to Joe. He’s said this, but also hasn’t hesitated in mentioning that he won’t always do as Joe asks.

Earlier on in the episode, Kim told Graham that she’s playing the long game when it comes to proving what he’s up to. Graham approached and said that yes, she is used to the long game, but isn’t used to losing it.

The scenes that unfolded in this evening’s episode with Graham has got us thinking that Kim’s theory over him being busy concocting something that’ll result in Joe’s heart being broken again isn’t quite right.

However, we’re starting to wonder if Graham’s hatred towards Kim and undying loyalty to Joe will eventually see the two men take over Home Farm, and leave Kim out in the cold.

Is Kim finally going to meet her match?
