Emmerdale fans are predicting a shock romance twist for Dan Spencer. The mechanic might be facing life in prison for brutally assaulting daughter Amelia’s stalker Lloyd, but fans think he could be set to find love.
Viewers watched as Dan lost it in the village after catching Lloyd with daughter Amelia. Pervert Lloyd made disgusting comments about Amelia leading to Dan punching him.
But his punch saw Lloyd fall back and hit his head on a rock. His injuries are severe and he is fighting for his life in a coma.
Fans have watched in recent weeks as Amelia has been left terrified by Lloyd. He first pretended to be a young mother online.
Lloyd watched Amelia’s makeovers for the salon on social media before messaging her with his fake identity. He even sent money to her before revealing himself in the salon.
She was terrified and eventually confided in her dad. And when the police failed to do anything about Lloyd – even though he had left a note at their home – Dan took matters into his own hands.
Visiting Lloyd at his work, Dan kicked up a fuss and warned him off. And then later under pressure from Mandy Dingle he called him and left a death threat.
So when Lloyd turned up in the village to manipulate Amelia and bragged about it, Dan saw red. His punch left Lloyd in a coma and Dan was grief-stricken.
Emmerdale: Dan Spencer for shock new romance?
In last Friday’s episode (July 7) Dan’s guilt saw him go to the hospital for an update on Lloyd. But when he got there he ended up confessing who he was to the man’s wife Julie.
But when Julie began shouting at Dan, he gave her a few home truths. “My husband’s in there fighting for his life and you’re making out that you’re the injured party,” she told him forcing Dan to reveal all.
Dan told her: “Not me, my 16 year old daughter. He’s been harassing her, scaring her senseless. Your precious Lloyd is a sexual predator, preying on young girls.”
Julie was horrified, telling him: “Take that back right now! How dare you even say something like that. You’re disgusting. Stop lying.”
As security rushed in to separate the pair, Dan began shouting at Julie. He told her: “He’s the one who needs locking up. Should be chemically castrated, men like that. Locking up and throwing away the key.
“He’s a pervert. He’s been stalking my daughter and he had it coming to him. I’d do it again if I had to.”
But fans think there’s going to be a shock twist. Despite the angry exchange of words fans think there was chemistry between Dan and Julie. And they predict romance.

One said: “I can see Lloyds wife bagging off with Dan.” A second said: “I wonder if Dan might end up with that woman stranger things have happened.”
Another said: “Dan’s going to end up with Lloyd’s wife isn’t he? So obvious.”
Julie visits Dan again
On Thursday night (July 13) Julie turned up at the pub to talk to Dan. But she found him having a laugh with the locals and was enraged.
She laid into him – and then Amelia – and tried to defend her husband, even though there was a flicker in her eye that she didn’t quite trust Lloyd.
Fans once again suggested there was a spark between her and Dan: “Who reckons Dan and Lloyd’s wife end up having a fling?” queried one.
Emmerdale usually airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
