GABBY WANTS MEENA TO BOIL A BUNNY IN NEXT WEEK'S EMMERDALE | EMMERDALE SPOILERS

21/10/2020

Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) will be delivered flowers next week.

After discovering a bouquet of flowers by her front door addressed from Dr. Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson), Meena is baffled but - to the viewers - it will be made clear that Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) was the one who sent them.

Later on, Gabby notices Leyla Harding (Rokhsaneh Ghawam-Shahidi), Liam & Meena have a pleasant conversation between the three, Gabby becomes frustrated because she hoped there would have been an arguement of some kind.

Wanting to add fuel to this, seemingly, non-existent fire Gabby 'informs' Meena that Liam was boasting how well of a job she was doing. This will spur Meena to have a conversation with Liam.

Gabby tries her hardest to hide her glee as Meena tells Liam about how lovely the flowers were all in front of Leyla. Leyla's suspicions are now fully irked and wants to know what exactly is going on.

As Liam protests his innocence, will Leyla realise they're all being played by Gabby?

Gabby is feeling lonely since her dad died, and mother went to Australia, rather suddenly, last year. Gabby sees Leyla as her ultimate role model and wants Leyla all to herself. She's trying to cut all ties Leyla has with her friends to make that vision possible.

These scenes air Monday 26 October 2020 during episode 6671.

Emmerdale continues weekday evenings at 19:00 on ITV/STV.

IT'S A KNOCKOUT FOR AMELIA IN NEXT WEEK'S EMMERDALE | EMMERDALE SPOILERS

19/10/2020

Desperate Dan (not the Dandy character from the 1937 comic that ran for 76 years) but the one in Emmerdale is set to put Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell) in harm's way next week in some gripping scenes.

At his wits end about his finances, Dan Spencer (Liam Fox) is still working at Barton and Dingle Automotives when he should be at home convalescing from a herniated disc. His daughter is visibly conserned when Dan tells her about having to wait for money until Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) gives him his pay packet.

Dan hates not being able to provide for Amelia.

Amelia has been Dan's carer in recent weeks as he moved downstairs at Dale Head with his bed and everything in the living room.

Wanting to find more money out of thin air, Amelia decides to sell her expensive handbag to Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) in Café Main Street. Nicola won't want it but Al Chapman (Michael Wildman) will clock the item and realise it's either similar or identical to the one his credit card was charged for. How people can know exactly what items charged to their bank account is beyond me (isn't it just amounts and shop locations that are listed?) but we'll go along with the story for the sake of the programme.

Al will approach Amelia and brand her a theif but Amelia will quickly make herself scarce to avoid any additional questioning by the Home Farm executive but Al isn't keen on letting this one rest so follows her outside but Amelia will eventually manage to get away.

Later, Amelia will discuss this incident with Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) who will plead with her to keep her mouth shut about the whole thing and deny any accusation Al throws at her.

Afterwards, Amelia heads to Barton and Dingle Automotives to check up on her father and remind him to catchup with Cain about wages. With nothing else to do, Amelia offers to help Dan in the garage. At first, Dan is hesitant (insurance at work and all that) but quietly pleased as he can do a little less work which would help (he's in pain, remember).

Working on a vehicle's motor engine, Amelia tries to secure a battery to the car but the apparatus holding the bonet open slips and sandwiches Amelia inside the engine causing her to fall to the ground in agony.

Dan attempts to help but his back goes into a spasm and before anyone knows it there are a pair of Spencers on the ground.

These scenes air Monday 26 October 2020 during episode 8871.

Emmerdale continues weekday evenings on ITV/STV.

CHARITY CHEATS ON VANESSA TO SAVE HERSELF AFTER CAR ACCIDENT | EMMERDALE SPOILERS

19/10/2020

It was the adoption hearing the day before and it seemed Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) was rather anxious to get away from Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) who has begun to feel the pressure of the whole thing.

Charity will become an emotional wreck and confides in her sister-in-law (to be), telling Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) she believes Vanessa doesn't want to be in the relationship because of all the times Vanessa has ignored her.

Tracy will do her best to comfort Charity but it won't be long until Charity convinces herself that Vanessa is having an affair then storming out of the house to go for a drive.

Parked up, Charity will block calls from Tracy and wonders if she should give Vanessa a phone call to find out what the situation is. As Charity drives back to the village she is hit by another motor vehicle and in true Charity fashion, she argues with the culprit.

The driver gives Charity £500 for damages but Charity believes she can get double so tries her luck. It's checkmate between the two people but feeling vulnerable, Charity warms to the driver and the pair begin to flirt.

It's clear Charity has taken a shine to the driver and the pair end up kissing.

Afterwards, Charity all flustered heads back to the car.

What can this mean for Charity & Vanessa?

Emmerdale rolls on ITV/STV every weekday evening.

BELLE'S SCHIZOPHRENIA REARS ITS UGLY HEAD IN LATEST EPISODE | EMMERDALE SPOILERS

15/10/2020

Since her conspired separation from Jamie Tate (Alexander Lincoln), life hasn't been quite as she planned for Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) since Andrea Tate (Anna Nightingale) turned her back on Belle.

In tonight's (Thursday 15 October 2020) visit to Emmerdale Village it was revealed the voices in Belle's head have returned and this time they're of her mother, Lisa Dingle (Jane Cox), who passed away last year.

Initially, Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) spotted Belle speaking to Lisa's urn outside of Wishing Well Cottage and, apparently, it seemed all innocent because many people find comfort in talking to gravestones of deceased loved ones but it was soon to be revealed that Belle - who has a history of Schizophrenia - was talking to a voice inside her mind.

To viewers, Belle is unwell and in need of help but to Andrea, Belle is rebelling against The Tates for what they've done to her.

It was seen in this evening's second episode, Belle answering Andrea's phone to speak to Millie Tate (Willow Bell) and 'Lisa' coaxed her daughter to tell the young girl about how nasty Jamie & Andrea are.

Emmerdale continues at 19:00 tomorrow on ITV/STV.

DAWN RUNS AWAY TO SAVE EVERYONE AROUND HER? | EMMERDALE SPOILERS

13/10/2020

Since the first ever Socially Distanced murder in Serial Drama history, Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) - who is responsible for said murder - has been on self-destruct since committing the crime over corrupt police officer DI Mark Malone (Mark Womack).

The reason for Dawn's self-destruction is because she wants to protect everyone she loves and if it means hurting their feelings then needs must.

In tonight's (Tuesday 13 October 2020) episode of Emmerdale, Dawn turned up the heat to near boiling point in her latest game.

Already reeling from yesterday's revelation (Billy descovered it was Dawn who Ellis slept with), Dawn decided to make matters worse for the Fletcher/Chapman brothers by claiming to Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) she and Ellis Chapman (Aaron Anthony) had been sleeping together for months. Of course that's a lie but, again, needs must in Dawn's situation.

Jay Kontzle portrays Billy Fletcher in the ITV/STV Serial Drama

Billy - who is out of prison on licence - desperately tried to keep his cool and not do anything to jeopardise his freedom but it was obvious to everyone he was completely livid at his brother's alledge betrayal and what Dawn had just told.

Aaron Anthony plays Ellis Chapman in Emmerdale

Ellis, point-blank, protested his innocence and pleaded with Billy to believe he only slept with Dawn the one time and turned to Dawn to ask why she was doing this. Viewers know full-well Dawn is pushing everyone away so they are not embroiled in a murder investigation if DI Malone's body - which is currently decomposing at the local graveyard (because Reverend Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton) has 'contacts' and can use the land in that way) is ever unearthed.

Dawn then quit her job at Home Farm.

In the closing moments of episode 8860, Dawn was seen exiting Woodbine Cottage with a holdall bag, locking the door, putting the keys back through the letterbox then wander away into the sunset - OK, it wasn't quite sunset but you get the drift.

Of course Dawn Taylor/Olivia Bromley hasn't officially left the programme but it will be interesting to see the further developments in this story as Emmerdale continues.

Emmerdale is back on ITV/STV, tomorrow, at 19:00.

FRANKIE LEARNT OF A DISGUSTING TRUTH ABOUT MICK | EASTENDERS SPOILERS

12/10/2020

It is believed Frankie Lewis (Rose Ayling-Ellis) is Mick's daughter and in tonight's (Monday 12 October 2020) EastEnders Frankie got a little closer to The Carters.

Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) inadvertently revealed an awful truth as to how Frankie was conceived and the young girl was left reeling.

Having a conversation with Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White), Frankie explained who her mum was and Tina instantly remembered her from all those years ago.

It was told in the episode that Mick Carter was in fact 12-years-old when he slept with Frankie's mum.

EastEnders continues tomorrow on BBC One at 19:35.

EILEEN BETRAYS HER SON AS SHE BACKS DOWN ON PLANS | CORONATION STREET SPOILERS

12/10/2020

Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) is back in Weatherfield and has been an absolute pest to mother Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) in recent weeks.

To cut a long story short, Todd owes Mick Chaney (Neil Bell) - a very dangerous man by all accounts - some money and probably other things. So, once Todd got wind of Eileen being summoned by Weatherfield Police to identify a body, Todd had a bright idea to get his mum to say the body was his to fake his death so all the bad guys would leave him alone.

In tonight's (Monday 12 October 2020) it was up to Eileen to identify the body but would she say it's Todd's?

Viewers were left wondering if Eileen would in fact claim Todd to be dead but it wasn't long before they - and Todd - found out what Eileen decided to do.

Eileen decided to not honour Todd's wishes and told Weatherfield Police the body was not his.

When Todd found out he told Eileen she would never see him again leaving Eileen devastated.

Coronation Street continues on ITV/STV.

EMMERDALE FANS CELEBRATE AS VANESSA 'RETURNS' ON-SCREEN | EMMERDALE SPOILERS

12/10/2020

It's been a while since Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) has been on-screen in Emmerdale. If my memory serves me correctly she hasn't been seen since before the lockdown episodes earlier this year and with Michelle Hardwick's real-life pregnancy it was best on a medical standpoint to keep the actor at home to avoid potential complications especially with CoronaVirus Pandemic alterting the lives of many across the globe.

In tonight's (Monday 12 October 2020) episode, viewers saw Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) become irritable as she kept being avoided by her fiancée.

Unknown to Charity, Vanessa had been conspiring with her sister Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) & bestie Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) to plan a surprise for Charity on the anniversary of when they - Charity & Vanessa - got together.

Safe to say Charity was not expecting a 'reunion' with Vanessa.

Tracy and Rhona quicky made themselves scarce and left Charity and Vanessa to have a much-needed and long-overdue catchup. Fans of the ITV/STV serial drama took to Social Media site Twitter expressing their joy for the reunion.

Charity can stop shouting now, Vanessa is right there on camera. #Emmerdale □

TODD RETURNS AND DELIVERS EILEEN A HARSH REQUEST | CORONATION STREET SPOILERS

9/10/2020

Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) left in 2017 after he assaulted a police officer and has been on-the-run since.

In recent weeks, viewers of Coronation Street have witnessed Sean Tully (Antony Cotton), Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) & Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) search for Todd as a text message from his old phone said to leave money in Victoria Gardens for him to collect later but although the message was sent from his mobile, it wasn't Todd who sent it - someone else found his phone and thought she would try her luck.

The decision was made by Billy, Sean & Mary to report Todd as a missing person before Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) arrived back to Weatherfield earlier this month.

In tonight's double-episode (Friday 09 September 2020), PC Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) paid Eileen a visit telling her someone matching Todd's description has died and she was required to formally identify the body.

Of course, Todd had already been in-touch with Eileen so she knew he wasn't dead.

For the first time in approximately three years, Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) came face-to-face with his mother but their reunion didn't last long as someone who Todd stole from was on their tail and demanded money from him.

Todd, being Todd, managed to "talk" the baddie away by whacking him over the head with a wooden plank causing the thug to be knocked out leaving Mick (the baddie) on the ground unconscious while Todd & Eileen had a proper catch-up.

Later in the conversation, Eileen told Todd that she was required to identify a body which gave Todd an idea - if Eileen told the police the body was his then that would mean a death notice in the newspapers which would in turn give Todd all the room he needed to "properly disapppear".

In the closing moments of the Damon Alexis-Rochefort episode, Coronation Street fans were left wondering what Eileen was going to do.

Todd Grimshaw is now played by Gareth Pierce because Bruno Langley was fired by ITV/Coronation Street for legal reasons.

Gareth Pierce is 39 and from Pwllheli, Gwynedd, Wales.

You can find out Eileen's decision as Coronation Street continues on Monday at 19:30 on ITV/STV.

EMMERDALE SPOILERS | FANS BRAND "BEST PROPOSAL OF THE YEAR" AFTER MANDY & PAUL GET ENGAGED

5/10/2020

Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), heartbroken, about the lies his dad Paul Ashdale (Reece Dinsdale) has been telling him and Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) for months in relation to his gambling addiction.

Today was very much a do or die scenario for Paul, either he tells Mandy or Vinny will be forced to.

In the beginning of tonight's (Monday 18 January 2021) episode, Paul was on edge in Wishing Well Cottage, unsure if Vinny had told Mandy already.

Rushing down the stairs, thinking Paul had left already, Mandy did her best to push him out the door so she could put her plan into action with Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) as her accompolice.

Before Paul left, he asked Mandy if he had done anything wrong but Mandy held her cards close to her chest about what the 'problem' was. Mandy told Paul she will have something to ask him later in the day.

With Paul out of the house, Mandy & Lydia conspired to stage a rather elaborate wedding proposal for Paul in The Woolpack that afternoon.

Paul was baffled, he was convinced either Vinny told Mandy already or she found out somehow about his gambling.

One last time, Paul tried to plead his innocence to Vinny. However, Vinny was having none of it and said in not so many words that Paul's time was up and it's time to come clean.

Rushing into The Woolpack, Vinny was rather confused with how the pub looked. After he shouted for his mum, the whole atmosphere changed and out came Mandy Dingle with a over-exaggerated and flamboyant marraige proposal to Paul.

Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) and Lydia providing the backing vocals, Mandy belted out "You're The One That I Want" from the Grease soundtrack to a dumbfounded Paul and an onlooking Vinny.

Mandy tried to get Paul & Vinny to join in but they were far too confused to care.

Eventually, Mandy got to the point of this whole exercise, whipped a ring out and proposed to Paul. Dumbstruck, Paul accepted and said "of course I will".

Vinny was quietly pleased but disappointed with keeping Paul's lies for a bit longer.

Making some excuses about getting Mandy a ring, Paul asked Vinny to leave with him. Outside The Woolpack, Vinny explained how disappointed he was with Paul but then things took a dangerous turn.

The more Vinny pressurised Paul to come clean the more irate Paul got, eventually Paul snapped and again beat Vinny up. Once Vinny managed to stand up, the boy was visibly broken.

Fans took to Twitter and branded the proposal "best proposel of the year in soapland" [sic] and others thinking they're hallucinating.
