Split ‘sealed’ as couple get engaged after rushed proposal

Emmerdale viewers could be witnessing new heartbreak next week. In upcoming scenes, Claudette Anderson unsubtly suggests that vicar son Charles Anderson and partner Manpreet Sharma would make a better impression on the new bishop if they were married.

Things go from bad to worse when Charles ends up implying to the bishop that they do have plans to get wed, leaving the village vicar under pressure to propose.

Later that week, after plucking up the courage, Charles proposes in The Woolpack. The proposal leaves Manpreet utterly bewildered and due to taking place in the pub, the doctor feels pressured to say yes. It’s not long until eager barmaid Gail announces the good news to the rest of the pub. With Manpreet under pressure to say yes, will the engagement go ahead and if not, could this be a split for the couple?

Caleb Milligan in danger as he suddenly doubles over in pain

Emmerdale fans will be left fearing for Caleb Milligan next week as he suddenly doubles over in pain. In upcoming scenes this week, Ruby Fox-Milligan goes too far when her temper lands her in very hot water with the Dingles after learning that her carefully laid plans for a life away from the village with estranged husband Caleb Milligan have been undone.

The fiery estranged wife of Caleb showed up in the village earlier this year and has wasted no time in creating a slew of enemies in the village, especially after learning about Caleb’s affair with Tracy Metcalfe which she took delight in exposing to the stunned Dingles earlier this year.

In spoilers for next week after Caleb publicly rejects her, siding with the Dingles, Ruby attempts to win back the family. However, when Cain Dingle learns of Ruby’s “kill them with kindness” ploy, he insists the Dingles can’t be bought and orders Ruby to leave them alone.

Lydia tries to ease Ruby’s concerns about Cain’s ultimatum but when he storms in and grabs Sam’s air fryer off the counter, it’s clear they weren’t empty threats. Things go from bad to worse when Cain smashes all three air fryers with a sledge hammer. Later, Chas reluctantly agrees to help Ruby out as the Dingles start to arrive for Ruby’s impromptu gathering, including a bewildered Caleb.

However, upon realising he’s been tricked into attending, Cain is seething. It’s not long until Caleb and Cain get off to a rocky start but as they appear to be thawing, they’re interrupted by a sudden karaoke performance from a drunken Ruby. The Woolpack gathering then descends into chaos as a drunk Ruby fights for Caleb’s forgiveness.

As things kick off, Caleb steps up to defend Ruby and makes it clear to Cain what side he’s chosen. Later, despite things with Cain being worse than ever, an anxious Ruby hopes that Caleb is committed to her. However, things take a shocking turn later in the week when Nate finds Caleb doubled over with pain. Caleb pleads with Nate for help but will his nephew help him after his affair with his wife or leave Caleb to suffer alone?

Exit ‘sealed’ after 23 years as village legend in court horror

Emmerdale fans could be saying goodbye to one village legend next week. Viewers will recall that last year, Rhona Goskirk found out ex-husband Gus Malcolms and his partner Lucy were expecting a baby together despite them telling Rhona months earlier that they were having fertility issues and could not conceive a child.

Years earlier, Rhona and Gus had IVF treatment which led to them freezing some embryos, but when they split up Rhona assumed they were destroyed. Gus stopped this from happening, before asking if he and Lucy could use them a year ago.

Rhona declined, but Gus forged her signature and Lucy fell pregnant with his and Rhona’s embryo. Tragically Lucy died while giving birth to baby Ivy leaving her partner distraught and grief-stricken, while Rhona was torn that a baby that was biologically hers no longer had a mother.

What started as Rhona and her family helping Gus out led to Rhona admitting she could not let go of Ivy, and wanting to be part of her life. A war forged between the parents as Gus planned to flee with the baby only for Rhona to take Ivy away from the village, with her arrested for kidnap

 

As both of them faced trouble with the police, Gus decided to come to a compromise suggesting they both change their statements so that neither of them had to go to court. Gus also claimed he would call off the move and come to an agreement with her over access to her daughter. But Rhona soon realised he was lying and that his plans had not changed at all, resulting in her vowing to get Ivy home with her.

Next week sees Rhona prepare for court as she dreads facing her kidnap charges. Soon the day arrives and as they’re called in for the trial, Gus begins to twist the narrative as a horrified Rhona watches on. However, it’s not long until Rhona’s defence fights back when they begin to question Gus’ good character.

Later, Rhona’s best friend and co-worker Vanessa Woodfield prepares to take the stand, where Rhona hopes the tide is beginning to turn but will Vanessa be caught out by the prosecution’s questions? When it’s Rhona’s turn to take to the stand, the character faces the prosecution’s accusations about her character to which a fired-up Rhona begins to lose her composure, lashing out at Gus.

When the judge adjourns for the day, Rhona is left kicking herself for getting so upset and wonders if it has ruined her chances in court while a smug Gus revels in her discomfort. Meanwhile, at the same time, Paddy’s attempts to distract April go terribly wrong when The Woolpack descends into a debate about Rhona’s court case.

As the debate rages on, April worries that if even Rhona’s friends can’t agree, then how will the jury. Later, as the jury heads off to deliberate, Rhona’s fate hangs in the balance and she paces anxiously as she awaits their decision. Could this be an exit for Rhona after 23 years on the soap?
