From heart attacks to heartbreak, here’s why this might just be the most dramatic week in soapland this year.

Elaine’s Collapse Signals the End of The Vic Era?

His father Bear—who saved him—delivers a brutal verbal blow, tearing Paddy apart emotionally just when he needs love most.

Back at home, Paddy’s mental health deteriorates, leading him to a grim place. Even Marlon’s video game intervention can’t pull him back. And when Paddy tells Bear to leave the house, it’s clear: this family may be broken beyond repair.

Mack’s Betrayal and the Missing Crop Mystery

Elsewhere in Emmerdale, Mackenzie is up to no good—secretly arranging to sell Lewis’s weed crop to a shady dealer.

Over on the cobbles, it’s a week of truth bombs and health scares. Kevin Webster discovers a flirty message to Abi from Carl—and later spots her tampering with CCTV footage. Suspicious and shaken, he rushes to the hospital for results of his own, and viewers are left fearing the worst.

Meanwhile, young Liam’s birthday takes a horrifying turn. As his family celebrates, Gary lies unconscious in a hospital bed… but things are about to get much worse. Will he survive?

• Will Elaine survive—and can she truly walk away from the Queen Vic?

• Is Paddy’s emotional spiral leading somewhere even darker?

• Who stole the drugs in Emmerdale, and what will the fallout be?
