KYLE Winchester faces comeuppance for the murder of Al Chapman.
Meanwhile, all hell breaks loose in Emmerdale this week and many residents continue to make enemies.
Will Taylor is in hot water this week
He’s struggling to trust Caleb Milligan
He then makes an enemy out of another member of the Dingle family
1. Will makes a mistake
It’s no secret to ITV viewers that Caleb Milligan has been rubbing Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) the wrong way since becoming involved with Kim Tate.
The newcomer portrayed by former Waterloo Road star Will Ash embarked on her new stud farm business.
But his attitude and the time he spends in Home Farm are making Will see red.
This week, he’s tired of seeing Caleb take liberties at Home Farm
Will comes up with a plan and enlists the help of a reluctant Nicky (Lewis Cope), asking him to spy on Caleb.
However, Caleb won’t be the only member of the Dingle clan Kim’s husband will be butting heads with.
Cain is worried about Kyle’s hearing
2. Cain gets revenge
In other scenes, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is anxious for Kyle Winchester’s hearing and Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson) intends to keep both of them away from one another due to the boy’s bail conditions.
Later on at The Hide, Amy and Kyle join Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) and Dawn Fletcher’s son Lucas and the young boys become engrossed in a game together.
Amy soon has to dash and sign some papers for the solicitor and Will offers to take Kyle to the playground with him and Lucas.
Things take a turn when Cain spots them and both men have a heated exchange about Amy’s instructions.
Caleb tries to diffuse the situation but it only goes from bad to worse as Cain is hellbent on revenge.
Will later apologises to Amy for his altercation with Cain but is horrified when an escaped Apollo, the new stud horse, charges down Main Street.
Unbeknownst to Will, Cain is responsible for the chaos as he unlocked the gate to Apollo’s horse stall.
Cain keeps an eye on Will’s despair from afar as the latter is out of his depth trying to control the horse.
To make matters worse for Will, Caleb and Sam Dingle (James Hooton) arrive with a horse box to deal with Apollo.
Will is humbled, meek from the hassle, and Cain watches on, almost rubbing his hands together.
Is Marcus’ relationship in danger?
3. Marcus is devastated
Nothing prepared Marcus Dean (portrayed by Darcy Grey) for love in the Dales upon his first arrival.
But when he permanently settled in, he found happiness in the form of Ethan Anderson (Emile John).
The pair have jumped through multiple hurdles together, including trying to bring down the solicitor’s corrupt boss, Greg.
They have even started to think about getting their own place as a couple, thus taking their romance to the next level.
Will things go according to plan?
Ethan has seemed nervous in a handful of scenes aired in recent months but this has been left shrouded in mystery and even pushed to the side.
After a failed date with Ethan, a dejected Marcus arrives home only to be dragged away by Naomi Walters (Karene Peter) for a night of their own.
Marcus is later appeased when Ethan assures him he does want them to find a place together.
Unbeknownst to him, however, Ethan receives a message from a mystery man at the same time.
It doesn’t take long for Marcus to figure out what’s going and he’s later horrified to see Ethan getting into a stranger’s car.
Could Ethan be cheating on Marcus?
How will Vinny move on from Liv?
4. Vinny finds himself a new woman
Vinny Dingle is still mourning the loss of his wife Liv Flaherty, who was crushed by a caravan during a deadly storm.
The late Liv Flaherty would have celebrated her birthday on February 16.
Robbed of an eventful day with the love of his life, Vinny Dingle is still determined to pay tribute to his wife.
This week, the widower portrayed by Bradley Johnson emotionally toasts to Liv’s 21st birthday.
However, he soon has other priorities as the Dingles struggle with the cold – and it leads to him forming a fast bond with another woman.
Vinny and Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) are almost caught syphoning oil from Eric Pollard’s oil tank after hatching a plan to keep the family warm.
They later toast to a job well done and, with the heating back on, Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) softens her stance on whatever dodgy business they’ve had to do to fill the tank.
But could Vinny and Belle’s alliance lead to something more?
Marlon is slowly coming back to his old self
5. April takes drastic action
Although he’s almost back to his old self, Marlon Dingle still deals with repercussions of his horrific stroke.
The chef portrayed by Mark Charnock was forever changed in March, 2022, when he suffered from a massive stroke which left him unable to walk and with huge difficulties to communicate.
Despite initial doubts about whether he would survive, Marlon persisted and slowly improved, although the effects of his stroke still remain most notably on his teen daughter April.
The girl played by Amelia Flanagan still feels fearful for her father’s well-being and comes up with a drastic plan to keep him safe from harm.
Coming up in the Yorkshire Dales, Marlon receives a text and stands up to help.
But as he does so, an alarmed April pleads with him to stay at home and rest… before forming her plan.
What will she come up with?
What is Samson up to?
6. Samson hatches cruel plan
Viewers were disgusted with Samson’s behaviour when the youngster portrayed by Sam Hall was adamant he wanted nothing to do with baby Esther.
He was even willing to report Amelia (Daisy Campbell) to social services in the hopes of getting Esther taken away.
Thankfully, the young mother has received the unwavering support of her boyfriend Noah Dingle (Jack Downham), a reformed troublemaker who has vowed to take care of Esther as if she was his own.
Proving once again that he’s back on the straight and narrow, thinking the world of his small family, Noah arrives with Valentine’s gifts.
But upon his arrival, he’s worried to find Amelia in the company of Samson.
The boys have an awkward exchange before Samson leaves and Amelia is confident this is a positive step.
Amelia has been wanting Samson to get more involved in Esther’s life while he’s told the new-born he would never let her ruin his plans for the future.
Although Amelia is optimistic, Noah struggles to have a positive outlook on the situation and his insecurities over Samson rise.
What does Samson really have in mind?
Vinny recently left the village
7. Police call off search for Paddy
Paddy Kirk is spiralling out of control and made the decision to vanish from the village.
The beloved vet portrayed by Dominic Brunt was heartbroken when he found out his wife Chas Dingle had been cheating on him with Al Chapman.
Chas’ illicit romance had catastrophic consequences for both the businessman and her family and Paddy is finding it hard to cope.
In recent scenes of the Yorkshire-based drama, the latter spend the night with former flame Mandy Dingle, leaving many fans with their jaws dropped.
However, Paddy then left to run an errand and never returned.
Coming up, members of the Dingle clan are determined to find missing Paddy and pull together to plan a search party for him.
Soon enough, everyone if on pins as PC Swirling arrives with news of a sighting of Paddy.
The family gather round to see Paddy in some CCTV footage but they’re horrified when they’re told the police are scaling back their search after locating him.
Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) is fuming and heads out while it becomes clear that Paddy doesn’t want to come home.
However, Chas and Mandy (played respectively by Lucy Pargeter and Lisa Riley) find Paddy’s hiding spot at a nearby guest house and nervously go search for him.
