The stakes are high for several characters including Cain, Al, Chloe and Gabby.
There’s a sinister undertone to next week’s episodes of the ITV soap, as a number of storylines reach their peak in an explosive week. The feud between Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Al Chapman (Michael Chapman) reaches a crescendo as the two men do battle. Meanwhile, Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) takes his vile behaviour towards Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland) to another level.
Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) is terrified that the father of her child, Jamie Tate (Alexander Lincoln), is heading back to Home Farm after she learned he had faked his death. And Faith Dingle (Sally Dexter) finds herself isolated from her loved ones – but something is clearly wrong as she begins to act out in an extreme way. With lives on the line during this special week, who will make it out alive?
Here’s your guide for next week on Emmerdale, 9th – 13th May 2022.
6 Emmerdale spoilers for next week
1. Flash-forwards promise danger ahead
As the week progresses, further flash-forwards will reveal more details before returning to the present day. Viewers will recall that Emmerdale has used this style of storytelling on multiple occasions, and producer Laura Shaw recently revealed some teasers as she excitedly explained what we can expect.
2. Will Cain kill Al?
When he roars the car down the street, aiming straight for Al, neither man will back down. As Al refuses to budge in the road and Cain continues his dangerous driving, things are looking worrying – until Cain screeches to a halt just in time. But is that the end of their war? It’s looking doubtful, but let’s hope whatever happens next puts an end to this pair’s silly games!
3. Stalker Noah terrifies Chloe
But when she finds her keys, the penny drops. Sending Noah out for snacks after his attempt at an explanation, Chloe looks for evidence of his stalking ways, and soon the truth is staring her in the face. When Noah returns, Chloe confronts him but he tries to trap her inside the cottage – just as his horrified mum Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) arrives. What will she do?
4. Is Jamie back?
Later, she finds a dropped torch in the nearby woods, and finds a gift left for Thomas – and it’s obvious it’s from Jamie. We’ll then see an anonymous hand reach into the gun cabinet. Is it Jamie, and are Gabby’s fears correct?
5. What is Faith’s big secret?
Tipped over the edge, Faith then grabs one of the teen’s dumbbell weights and throws it through the window of Amelia and Dan’s (Liam Fox) front door. Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) watches in in appalled shock. But what is wrong with Faith? Producer Shaw promised the character is about to confide a huge secret to Moira. But what is it?

6. Who will die?
Whatever happens, we can’t forget there’s a fresh grave – so is someone definitely set to met their maker? And who is arrested and locked away? Is a character set to pay for a murderous crime; will Jamie be imprisoned for his pretence – or will Noah find himself facing the long arm of the law?
