What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom still isn’t done scheming and Anthony shared some bad news

Emmerdale tonight saw Tom King vow to keep fighting in his battle against Belle, with him instructing his solicitor to get Amelia back on side.

Meanwhile, Anthony returned and shared some sad news with his family, but Ruby refused to believe a word of it.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Friday November 29.

Emmerdale tonight: Amelia did something stupid

No, she hasn’t taken Tom back, thank God… The episode opened with Jimmy attempting to scrub the word “scum” from the front door. While Angelica wondered if it was about her, Nicola was quick to insist that it “was done by someone who hates Tom”. So that narrows it down then…

As Charity and Belle stopped by to say it wasn’t them, Jimmy took the opportunity to apologise to Belle for not seeing through Tom’s lies sooner. Charity said they didn’t blame him. She was soon distracted by Amelia in the distance and followed her to the church.

Sitting in the church, Charity was quick to realise that Amelia had been the one to spray ‘Scum’ on the door. Amelia said she knew it was stupid as Tom is not even there! Amelia just wanted to do something to make herself feel better as she felt so guilty for what she’d put Belle through by believing all of Tom’s lies.

Charity reassured Amelia that none of it was her fault, telling her Tom did a number on her – he saw a young, single mum with no family, someone vulnerable who he could use. Amelia agreed, saying: “He was so lovely at first, then I saw the mean side to him and he was so clever at explaining that away.”

Later, Amelia confessed to Jimmy that she had been behind the graffiti and offered to help clean it off. She also apologised to Belle, who told her she forgave her and that they could all move on.

Tom continued to plot from behind bars

In prison, Tom phoned his solicitor mate Ollie and threatened him to keep representing him. “Maybe the police need to know about you…” he snidely told him. He instructed Ollie to keep trying to get hold of Amelia. 

Later, Ollie visited Tom and informed him that Amelia still won’t answer his calls and they haven’t been able to add her to his approved caller list. Tom was adamant that they had to keep trying though, and said: “Amelia is just upset, so capitalise on that. Say that I’m missing her, I don’t care, say anything. I just need her to be sat in that court supporting her innocent boyfriend, preferably with her daughter.” The twisted mind of Tom…

Ollie told Tom that he might get a reduced sentence if he pleads guilty, but Tom said he’d do no such thing and he vowed to keep fighting Belle. “It’s me against Belle – and a jury,” he said. “Think about it. My wife is a complete nut-job and she’s just come out of the loony bin. She’s not going to make a good impression on the jury and we’re going to make sure of it.” What has Tom got over Ollie and how long will Tom keep deluding himself for?

Anthony shared some bad news

Ruby’s dad Anthony recently arrived to a hostile reception from his daughter. He returned in tonight’s episode and informed granddaughter Steph that he had prostate cancer and didn’t know how much longer he had left.

Steph told him him they’d make the most of every moment, with Anthony agreeing and saying, “now I really must make peace with your mother.”

However, Ruby was not pleased to see her dad back. After Steph revealed all about the prostate cancer, Ruby responded that she didn’t believe a word of it and walked off.

Later, Caleb and Steph tried again to encourage Ruby to clear the air with her dad, but she remained reluctant. What has happened between them that Ruby can’t get over?

Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight

Eric continued to play dangerously

Following the engagement party, Brenda confirmed that her and Eric’s wedding will be taking place in January. She revealed that Eric is being super generous – wedding of her dreams followed by a round the world cruise. 

Following the revelation that Eric had invested his money in cryptocurrency, Leyla encouraged him to quit while he was ahead. However, later, he phoned “Mikey” and asked for a short term loan, using his property as collateral. Uh oh, this one isn’t going to end well.

Ella didn’t hold back

Meanwhile, Chas and Ella met up. Chas informed Ella that her and Liam were going to go public with their relationship. Ella was angry as she told Chas that she would miss sneaking around. “It’s what you do best, secret affairs, you love it,” she said. She then went on to say: “You’ve got form as long as your arm, which means you’ll probably get bored of Liam and cheat on him too. I hope he breaks your heart first, if you’ve even got one.” Don’t hold back, Ella…
