Emmerdale tonight: Kim takes back Home Farm

Emmerdale tonight saw the confrontation we’ve all been waiting for: Kim took back Home Farm and kicked Rose out. It might have been a teeny tiny bit disappointing and not quite the fireworks we were expecting, but still, Rose is gone. For now.

Meanwhile, Ella and Liam kissed and Moira nearly punched Cain! Emmerdale on Thursday August 1 was certainly packed full of drama.

Kim heads home – here comes the explosion!

Knowing the truth, Kim was packed and ready to leave the B&B, but first she had a debrief session with Lydia. During which she insisted the idea of Rose succeeding in seducing Will was “Ridiculous”. Oh dear.

Back at Home Farm, Rose was trying to keep her claws into guilt-ridden Will. But she soon got a call from Ruby telling her Kim knew everything.

Rose then confessed to Will about The Plan. Will now knows what an idiot he’s been, especially when he realised Rose was behind the spiking. Just then Kim walked in – colour us excited!

Well, it wasn’t quite the showdown we were hoping for. There was no “you bitch, you cow” slapping exchange. But Kim made it very clear she had won – especially when she got Rose to drink alcohol again.

Kim really did let her off lightly when she told her to pack her stuff and get out. Hmm, not quite the fireworks we expected.

After one last ditch attempt to get Will back, Rose failed and was dropped in the middle of nowhere by Will and Kim. They forced her to travel in the boot, like the excess baggage she is, then made her leave a message for Dawn saying she was leaving for good.

It all seemed a bit anti-climactic at this point – less huge dramatic fireworks and more a sparkler in your back garden.

Where is Rose?

Back at home, Kim confronted Will asking why he didn’t answer her calls, he squirmed, but didn’t confess. Kim asked him if there was anything else she needed to know – but he deflected, and then lied, and then had the gall to gaslight Queen Kim Tate. Of all people.

Meanwhile Rose was sitting on the side of the road, crying and feeling sorry for herself. Ever heard of the phrase you’ve only got yourself to blame? A car then pulled up, it was blurry but it definitely had the Home Farm logo on the side. So who was driving?

We then saw both Kim and Will return home at the same time. Both had been out for a drive to clear their heads. And both were acting suspiciously. The camera then panned back to the side of the road, where we saw Rose’s bag, with the items from it strewn across the road. So what has happened to her?

Has Kim or Will done her in? Or is that just what we’re meant to think? Is this just the latest in her plot with Ruby to bring Kim Tate down?

We need more than this – something bigger must be coming. Emmerdale: do not disappoint.

Ella and Liam reunited in Emmerdale tonight

Cain went to talk to Liam about Ella and the baby and Liam admitted he was ashamed of himself. So Cain encouraged Ella to forgive Liam.

They eventually crossed paths in the street and agreed to go back to Liam’s to talk. Ella felt it was right she lost the baby so it wasn’t blighted growing up with a mum who’s a child killer. Liam insisted it wasn’t her fault. He even invited her to have a bath at his place.

A lot of hot water later, They soon found themselves bonding over their loss and he made her soup with veg from his allotment. Turns out that’s the ultimate seduction food because before long they were hugging and then kissing.

Moira almost punched Cain!

Okay if it wasn’t for all the other huge stuff going on tonight, we wouldn’t have left this so far down, but Moira has clearly not let go of her anger towards Cain. She’s forgotten the ‘let’s work together not against each other’ from literally weeks ago and has no respect for the Dingle Code. And she almost punched Cain.

Samson was feeling nervous about prison and Lydia and Sam worried he didn’t know what was coming. Step in Cain who decided to teach him a thing or two about what will happen inside.

Moira witnessed Cain and Samson larking around. She wanted to know what was going on and laid into Cain for helping Samson.

She then turned her attentions to Samson and when Cain pulled her off, she almost punched him. Moira then told him: “Don’t bother coming home tonight.”

Plea to the writers: please don’t make Moira or Cain cheat or split up. Please. No one wants this.

Tom lurks some more – and plots

Getting more and more wound up over Belle being missing, Tom received a mystery package, which of course was to do with Belle. He secretly let himself into her house and was then seen sneaking out. He was later playing with his phone and talking about being at home, which suggests he’s done something to Belle’s house to put him back in control.

Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight…

Amelia was feeling sorry for Samson and Noah was not happy about it. She wants to visit Samson in prison, but Noah wasn’t not keen. Looks like that’s another couple about to split up then. What does it take to be happy in Emmerdale?!
