Meena continues to cause mayhem even from behind bars, while the locals vow to get justice for their lost loved ones even if it means leaving themselves open to her menacing mind games. Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) reckons he can get her to confess to killing Andrea and, to his great surprise, she does, sparing no grisly detail of her methods.

Her twisted long-game plan to manipulate Charles foiled, Meena flips and smashes up the receiver – what will her next move be?

Rhona is rattled when Marcus tells her she’s been named in Pierce’s will, making it even trickier to hide the truth from Marlon that she’s been in touch with the long-lost son of her dead abusive ex-husband. When that particular secret finally comes to light this week, how will Marlon react?
Badly, as you can imagine, especially as he overhears Rhona ‘fessing up to Kim Tate (Claire King) before her own partner. Backed into a corner Rho admits all and betrayed Marlon storms off, though the vexed vet accuses him of making the tricky situation all about him and Marcus himself begs the chef not to be too hard on his other half. Needing to pull something out the bag to restore her relationship, Rhona spontaneously proposes…
Love for Marcus and Ethan?

Marcus has just been brought in to revisit Rhona’s harrowing past, the handsome newcomer is also serving the dual purpose of being a potential new love interest for unlucky-in-love lawyer Ethan Anderson (Emile John). About time too, the last sniff of action he got was with closeted tease Luke Posner.
This week, Ethan takes the plunge and asks him out, only to be rejected by Marcus who wants to get out of Emmerdale now the legal business of his dad’s will reading is all done and dusted. With Rhona’s blessing, Ethan goes all out to charm Marcus into sticking around and pursuing the possibility of romance. Is this the start of something special?

The miffed mum is so skint she can’t afford anywhere in the village she’s called home for 20 years, and contemplates a life away from Emmerdale. Kim then offers Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) a deal – he sells his shares in HOP to her and she’ll pay him enough for a deposit to secure Mulberry.
