All of the scheming, plotting and manipulation comes to a head in Emmerdale next week.
The day of Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) and Joe Tate’s (Ned Porteous) wedding finally arrives, meaning her escape with Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) is imminent, and Caleb Miligan (William Ash) can barely wait to gloat to Joe of the chaos he’s created in an effort to destroy his life; but will he get the chance when things go horrifically wrong?
Jimmy King (Nick Miles) is utterly wounded to realise how badly Caleb and his Machiavellian wife, Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) have duped him. With his end fast approaching, will he go out a broken man?
Elsewhere, it becomes abundantly clear that D.I Ramsden (Chelsea Edge) is driven by something much darker than she’s letting on, and why does Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) look so guilty?
A soap wedding means abject chaos, and that’s exactly what’s in store in Emmerdale next week. Let’s take a deeper dive, shall we?!
Monday, August 24
As Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) swallows his concerns and promises Joe the day will go off without a hitch, Dawn panics that Kim Tate’s (Claire King) return will scupper her plan.
When Graham tricks Lucas (Noah Ryan Aspinall) into confessing all about the escape plan, he confronts Dawn, reasoning that Joe can’t have been behind the attack on Billy. Confused and desperate, she knocks Graham out and flees.
Caleb basks in the glee of having destroyed Joe’s life and hands Billy a wad of cash to take, though Billy privately bristles at being a pawn in Caleb’s game. Despite Ruby’s warnings to keep control, Caleb can’t help antagonise Joe, and when his wedding invitation is rescinded, he decides to blow the secret that Dawn is about to abandon him.
With Jimmy betrayed and hurt by Caleb and Ruby’s scheme, Caleb’s conscience is pricked and he tries to sweeten the cruel deal they’ve landed with him. Though Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) tries his best to lift Jimmy, it’s clear there’s much more to the situation.
