5 Emmerdale spoilers next week

1. Moira Dingle is arrested after Lydia Dingle is caught in her crossfire

 

Moira and Cain (Jeff Hordley) are seething when Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) warns he’s determined to get his hands on their land for Kim (Claire King).

As Joe sets a plan in motion, Moira promises Kyle (Huey Quinn) that they aren’t losing their home, but when she’s gone, Kyle hears a noise from the barn and finds two masked teenagers.

 

One of them happens to be Dylan, and in a panic, Kyle accidentally stabs Dylan in the leg with a pitchfork.

Moira scares the lads off with the shotgun, and Cain insists Joe is behind what happened and swears revenge.

 

Moira wants to go to the police first, but Joe denies all involvement and Moira gives into her anger and goes to hit Joe.

But it’s Lydia (Karen Blick) who gets punched in the ear instead, leaving Moira horrified.

Kyle then witnesses PC Swirling (Andy Moore) arresting Moira, and he later tells her in confidence that her case isn’t looking good.

 

Cain is at loggerheads with Sam (James Hooton) after threatening Lydia over Moira’s actions.

But when Cain orders Sam to choose a side – the Tates or the Dingles – what will he decide?

2. John Sugden’s spyware digs up dirt on Robert Sugden

 

Robert tries to find out how John saved Jacob Gallagher’s (Joe-Warren Plant) life, but after Jacob rushes away, it’s Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) who reveals how John has saved multiple villagers.

Mind whirring, Robert voices his opinion to ex-mother-in-law Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) that John is too good to be true, but she’s having none of it.

Noticing John has left his phone behind, Robert tries to unlock it, but is forced to hand it over when John arrives.

John is left worried as he tells Chas of his concerns about Robert, but Chas reckons Robert is just jealous.

Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) tries to convince Robert to get help, but when he refuses, John agrees to ask Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) to check in on him.

John then sneaks into Keeper’s cottage and leaves behind a small listening device.

Listening in on one of Robert’s conversations, John is buoyed to finally get some dirt on Robert, but what is it?

3. Mackenzie Boyd misses a big chance to speak out over surrogacy rift

 

Sarah and Charity are excited as they prepare for a hospital visit, while Mack says he’s working at Butler’s farm.

Mack tells Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) that he’s not going to the hospital, but Aaron urges him to speak up.

Taking this on board, Mack rushes to the fertility clinic, where Charity tells him the procedure went well.

While the family celebrate, Mack is upset to have missed a chance to express his feelings, and Aaron tells him to talk to Charity.

Charity is overwhelmed by Sarah and Jacob’s attentiveness and begs Sarah to go out.

Alone with Mack, Charity admits her concerns to Mack, but how will Mack respond?

Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) is torn when Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) asks her to take back April Windsor’s (Amelia Flanagan) apprenticeship.

When Belle tells April they can’t go ahead, April realises it’s Marlon’s doing and pleads her case.

 

Marlon relents and all is well, but the week takes a turn when April is reunited with Dylan.

Before he ends up in Moira’s barn, Dylan hides in some bushes and is spotted by April.

She knows he’s nearby when she’s leaving some flowers at mum Donna’s (Verity Rushworth) grave, and urges Dylan to show himself.

 

Dylan reveals he’s now clean from drugs, and April is thrilled.

But after his run-in with Kyle, Dylan prepares to bed down at the cricket pavilion, only to find his injured leg in a bad way.

April and Dylan plan a date, but he abandons the plans when he spots Ray.

Will April find out about Ray, and will Dylan get help for his wound?
