Emmerdale tonight: Aaron robbed by John Sugden and Moira verbally abused Matty
Aaron doesn’t have much luck dating!
Emmerdale tonight introduced a newcomer in the form of John Sugden – only no one except us knows he’s John Sugden yet.
Aaron certainly didn’t when he got jiggy with him in a layby. And that’s definitely something he’s going to live to regret!
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday August 7.
Aaron was robbed
No, that’s not a football chant, it actually happened: Aaron Dingle was once again robbed by his online date.
After spending yesterday with his phone pinging and beeping constantly, Aaron finally went to meet the guy he’d been messaging. Only he’d lost his car keys, so ‘borrowed’ Pollard’s car from Mack at the garage where it was waiting for a service without Eric actually knowing.
On his way to the hotel, he was flagged down by someone why had broken down. We recognised him as John Sugden following press pictures that were released, but Aaron didn’t know him – and soon enough he revealed he was actually Aaron’s date. Apparently Aaron had only seen his torso, so hadn’t recognised him. Think we probably need to see his torso now too, to make it fair.
As Aaron fixed his van, it wasn’t long before the pair started kissing. Then they fell into the back of the van and did the deed. Afterwards Aaron wanted an immediate repeat performance, but while he went for a wee in a bush (classy), John drove off – with Aaron’s keys, wallet and hoodie in the back of his van! (Seriously, though, who wears a hoodie on a date to a hotel?!)
As Aaron reported back to Mack and got him to tow him back, furious Mack insisted Aaron had to sort this fast. But the guy had blocked Aaron on the dating app and disappeared.
Poor Aaron doesn’t have much luck with internet dating as Victoria reminded him yesterday, the last guy robbed him too!
Victoria threatened Jai in Emmerdale tonight
Victoria was still mulling over what to do about Jai. Once thing she was certain of though, she’s going to take him to the cleaners.
She soon gave him a choice: give her her job back with a raise or she would hire a ruthless lawyer and expose everything to the papers. Victoria kept pushing Jai for what she wanted and he eventually agreed.
She also took steps towards forgiving Eric. So all in all, it looks like things won’t work out too badly for Vic.
Moira lashed out at Matty
So instead of taking her anger out on Cain, Moira turned her attention to Matty. As she played the caring mother, worrying her son was hiding from the world, Matty asked if she called the police on Noah. Moira insisted she didn’t and also insisted Matty didn’t need to worry about her and Cain as they were good. Not sure what she thinks a good relationship is, but anyway!
Matty was worried about Samson, knowing how terrifying prison is. But Moira was adamant they needn’t give him a second thought. She then turned on Matty, aggressively telling him to “man the hell up, you can’t play the victim card all of your life”.
WHAT the hell?!
Who even is Moira these days? And why is she behaving like this?
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Will’s pained expression didn’t change as he said again he wanted to fix things with Kim. She wants to be anywhere rather than with him, though, so is off to Dubai. Kim just couldn’t forgive the fact he’d believed Rose over her and fallen for Rose’s lies. “If I’m honest Will, I’m not sure there’s anything left worth fixing,” she told him before leaving. And he’s only got himself to blame.
Elsewhere, Noah was officially dumped by Amelia who has a “new perspective” on life, apparently. Noah decided to confess the truth to Lydia hoping Amelia would take him back if he was honest. Surprise, surprise, she didn’t.
Meanwhile, Mandy tried to overcharge Tracy by £20 for her nails, but Tracy refused to pay. Mandy broke down and confessed her debt problems. She’s maxed out several credit cards. Tracy advised her to speak to a debt management company, Paddy and her family. Nope, Mandy will not do that. So just how will Mandy solve her debt crisis
