SANDRA Flaherty is scheming to get more cash since she returned to the Dales.
Soon enough, she turns her attention to another Emmerdale resident in the hopes of getting his money.
Sandra Flaherty could be breaking hearts in the village
Next week, she decides to bed a villager – Rishi Sharma
But she’s only hoping to get her hands on his money
Joanne Mitchell reprised her role and reappeared in the eponymous village to ask her on-screen daughter Liv (played by Isobel Steele) for help with her drinking.
But it quickly emerged that she was actually eyeing her cash and joined forces with a man named Terry (former Corrie star Neil Bell) to get rich.
Sandra is clearly willing to do anything to get her hands on some extra cash and after stealing from Mandy’s salon, she could be breaking someone’s heart.
Coming up, Sandra’s ears prick to hear that Rishi Sharma (Bhasker Patel) has had an unexpected windfall while working in the salon.
Sandra immediately comes up with a plan but has to make a show of putting his tip money in the jar as a suspicious Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) keeps an eye on her every move.
Since his wife Manpreet put an end to their marriage, turning back to her former flame Charles Anderson, Rishi has felt lonely.
Struggling to find love in the Dales, he has resorted to online dating and is soon amazed to see that his profile received a response from a very interested woman.
But he’s gutted to find out she cancelled their meeting at the Woolpack – unaware that it’s actually Sandra, spinning a web to reel him and his money in.
Once she realises she’s managed to set him up, Sandra swoops in and offers her company.
The pair eventually decide to end the night at Rishi’s and he leads Sandra up to his bedroom.
The following morning, Rishi is worried about what other villagers would think and Sandra plays on his insecurity.
Knowing she has him wrapped around her little finger, Sandra gets confirmation that her plan worked when he sheepishly offers her money to make up for his behaviour.
Rishi drowns his sorrows and Sandra pockets the cash she’s been wanting.
But there’s trouble brewing for her.
In recent scenes, and as mentioned above, she stole some tip money at Mandy’s salon and the latter has remained wary of her ever since.
This week, Mandy voices her concerns about the missing money to Live but goes a step further to avoid further theft – and confirm her hunch about Sandra.
She secretly takes out her CCTV camera kit, determined to get to the bottom of the missing tips.
However, Sandra finds out and is shocked when she stumbles upon the hidden camera in the salon.
With Mandy on her trail, could she be exposed?
