Emmerdale twist: David shot by Russ after hostage drama

David was shot

In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Friday, September 10) it was revealed David was the one who was shot by Russ.

Earlier this week, Victoria agreed to send Russ the money his mother left Harry in her will to help with his financial troubles.

However Wendy felt bad for convincing Vic to send Russ the money and went to The Hide to tell Vic the truth.

She explained that Russ was blackmailing her – he threatened to expose that she wasn’t a qualified nurse if she didn’t help him get the money.

Russ soon arrived and pulled a gun on both Wendy and Victoria.

He forced Vic to open the money in the safe in the office. However Vic noticed David’s phone and hid it, as David his under the table.
