1. Kev threatens Aaron in Emmerdale spoilers

Former EastEnders star Chris Coghill has joined Emmerdale as Kev. He is Robert’s husband from prison and it quickly became clear his volatile nature was part of the reason Robert had married him. Kev was obviously offering him protection while he was inside, but at what cost to Robert?

Now Robert and Aaron have got back together, but Robert is still married to Kev and hasn’t told Aaron about him. Kev has said he’s only got six months to live and Robert thinks the kindest thing to do would be to stay married to him in his final days. That and he’ll inherit a shedload of money when Kev dies!

Aaron learned about Kev and Robert’s relationship in Emmerdale this week, and immediately ended things. Aaron is heartbroken when he learns that Robert has told Kev about Gordon – and even more rattled when he arrives at Mill Flat with a death threat.

Just how much danger is Aaron in? Of Kev’s motives, Chris told us: “He’s incredibly dangerous, but there’s a weird thing where he’d never actually hurt Robert.

“I know Kev wouldn’t have any qualms about physically attacking anybody, apart from Robert,” Chris says.

Aaron might want to watch his back, then…

2. Mysterious Anya comes between Caleb and Ruby

Newcomer Anya arrived in Emmerdale this week, having stowed away in the back of one of Caleb’s trucks. Sympathetic Ruby insisted that she come back to the house to rest up, in spite of Caleb’s trepidation over the matter.

When Ruby discovers Anya packing to leave, she grows angry at her husband for making her feel unwelcome. Ruby convinces her to stay but, as an argument breaks out between Caleb and Ruby, Anya begins to wonder if she’s outstaying her welcome.

The next day, Ruby and Caleb are stunned to find that Anya has disappeared. But where has Anya gone? And is there more to the ‘Dales latest newcomer than meets the eye?

3. Robert’s prison past revealed as three special episodes focus on Robert, Bear and April

Emmerdale has confirmed three standalone episodes will air this autumn – one of which will feature a flashback during Robert Sugden’s time behind bars. This will include his first meeting with Kev, and an explanation for his PTSD. Has Robert been forever changed by this experience?

Meanwhile, another episode will focus on April Windsor. At the mercy of drug dealers Celia and Ray, Marlon has no idea what his daughter is going through, and can’t get her to open up. Is their relationship broken beyond repair? Or can Marlon get his daughter back before she slips down the dark path forever?

But perhaps the most shocking will feature Bear Wolf. He has disappeared from the Dales, with Paddy sure he’s started a new life in Ireland. But he hasn’t. In fact he never made it across the Irish Sea.

He’s been gone for three months though, so where is he? We’ll explore the 100 missing days of Bear’s life. He’s trapped in something can’t get out of and it’s a never-been-done before story of a forgotten generation.

It all sounds very dramatic and thrilling – and we can’t wait!

4. John Sugden to return to Emmerdale?

Killer John Sugden has finally left the Dales. Yay! He managed to escape justice and run away abroad. Boo! The chances are that Emmerdale did not air John’s exit on a random Wednesday night. It’s highly likely that John will be back at some point for that final showdown.

It could be a month – tying in with the usual October anniversary, or it could be a few months – leading us to a big Christmas storyline. But what we are pretty certain of is that Aaron is right: this is not over while he is still out there.

John has to be brought to justice – the question is when, and how?

5. Coronation Street crossover

Filming has begun on what is being called Corriedale – the Emmerdale and Coronation Street crossover. It is set to air next year to promote the beginning of the soap power hour which will see Emmerdale air at 8pm followed by Corrie at 8.30pm every weeknight.

Although the soaps are keeping tight-lipped as to what it’s all about, theories are abounding. One huge theory is that none-other than John Sugden will return and be caught by the Corrie coppers. Some fans have even gone so far as to say Oliver Farnworth’s Corrie character Andy Carver never actually died and is posing as John Sugden. It’s far-fetched, but it could be true!

Iain MacLeod, ITV’s Executive Producer for Continuing Drama, said: “It’s beyond exciting that filming is under way on Corriedale.

“There is a massive buzz around both the Leeds and Manchester sites and the images coming out of the shoot are utterly spectacular.

“And that’s before we’ve even got to all the brilliant transpennine interactions between characters from the different shows! As a soap fan myself, I think my head is going to explode when the episode airs next year. It will be mind-blowing, historical and unmissable.”

6. An exit for Victoria in Emmerdale spoilers

In the coming months we will be saying goodbye to the iconic Victoria Sugden. But in happier news, it’s not forever – as actress Isabel Hodgins announced she is expecting her first baby!

Isabel just recently got married and so the whole thing is absolutely adorable. And she joins the many Emmerdale stars having babies recently.. 

It just means we will lose Victoria soon. And we have a few ideas on how that will go down. Knowing John’s coming to an end soon – our main theory is that Vic can’t handle what her brother had done and how she had been his number 1 fan. And so she may up and leave the village.

However, we do like the theory that Adam Thomas may reprise his role as Adam Barton and whisk her away with him – what a treat that would be!

7. Will Charity have the baby in Emmerdale spoilers?

In a SHOCKING turn of events, it was revealed last month that Ross had slept with Charity and then it was confirmed Ross is the father of the baby Charity is carrying.

This would bring heartache for Sarah and Jacob, who are under the impression the embryo transplant worked and that Charity is carrying their baby.

She couldn’t go through with an abortion, nor could she bring herself to tell the truth. So how much longer can Charity keep this a secret? And will it mean the end of her marriage when the truth does come out?
