It may be a New Year, but nothing has changed – or calmed down, for that matter – in Emmerdale.
Adam’s sentencing is fast approaching and Moira is, understandably, in a terrible state about her son going down for a crime she committed.
Cain is desperate to support her and ensure that she doesn’t try to confess to killing Emma again.
But Harriet is getting sick of the doting ex routine. Couple with her being dragged into keeping a secret about what really happened to Emma – lying isn’t a good look for a vicar, perverting the course of justice definitely isn’t a good look for a former cop – she looks set to call time on her romance.
At Home Farm, Lachlan’s latest obsession is securing a home in Leeds with Belle, but mum Chrissie isn’t capitulating.
How far is this likely to push the already dark mind. Be afraid, Whit family, be very afraid…
Elsewhere, Debbie’s mysterious lover Tom continues to be elusive as she tries to pump him for information on the new ‘job’. Funny that…
Meanwhile Sam finds himself – and Lydia – arrested as they try to convince the builders that they must cease work on the golf course development, as they are building on a badger set, but they are rumbled.
Someone, it seems dobbed them in, and the likely suspect is none other than Tom… surely when Debbie figures this out the blinkers will well and truly come off, and she will realise that her too-good-to-be-true fella is just that?
