Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Jimmy sees plan backfire
Jimmy decides it’s time to expose Sadie’s affair with Matthew once and for all. He tries to unveil the truth during the official handover of the family business. Confident that he has Sadie cornered, Jimmy smugly asks a guest house owner to confirm the affair.
But Sadie outsmarts him by avoiding any confirmation, leaving Jimmy’s accusation hanging in the air without proof. Tom, already wary of Sadie’s influence, finally loses patience.
In a decisive move, he throws her out of the business and the King family. Sadie’s manipulations have finally caught up with her, and she’s left with nothing.
Sadie’s heartbreaking decision
Soon, a desperate Sadie suggests to Matthew that they leave Emmerdale and start fresh elsewhere. But Matthew is determined to stay and fight for his place in the family.
Tom initially refuses to meet with Matthew but eventually relents, thanks to Carl’s persuasion. However, Tom insists that Sadie stay away from the office.
The tension between Matthew and Jimmy explodes when Matthew reveals the full extent of his affair with Sadie, admitting that it began long before she married Jimmy. Enraged, Jimmy attacks Matthew, leading to a full-blown brawl. Tom intervenes, offering Matthew everything he has ever wanted—on the condition that he cuts Sadie out of his life.
Matthew, torn between his ambition and his feelings for Sadie, ultimately chooses the business. When he tells Sadie of his decision, she breaks down, realising she has lost both Matthew and her place in the King family.
