What happened in Emmerdale tonight: John thought he and Aaron were ‘home and dry’, but then Manpreet caught him out
How much did she overhear and can she incriminate Aaron?
In Emmerdale tonight Anthony’s murder was still playing on everyone’s mind as John continued his ‘clean-up’ operation.
Meanwhile, Steph was getting on everyone’s nerves (well, ours at least) and Chas was forced to backtrack, sending Laurel spiralling.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday January 28.
The fallout from Anthony’s death continued in Emmerdale tonight
John continued to cover up evidence
Aaron was beside himself (still) and John was playing protector (still), insisting that he cleaned up so well, they’d never be connected to the depot.
John popped up to the depot just to find out what was going on with the police being there. He pretended he was doing a health and safety initiative and spotted Anthony’s tooth. But just as he was about to pick it up, Caleb saw him and wanted answers. John spun his defibrillator lie and Caleb bought it, but the tooth remained – until Kerry hoovered it up.
Meanwhile, Jai was on a mission to find out who took the £200 from the petty cash – and it turned out Caleb had. PC Swirling was not impressed with Jai’s officious attitude – and that he had wasted police time.
John was pretty happy to have overheard the news though and went to report to Aaron. But as they talked about having got away with it once Aaron had finished dismantling the car, someone was listening. Manpreet heard it all as John said they were “Home and dry”. But does she know enough to incriminate them? And will John ‘dispose’ of her as well?
Steph grew increasingly irritating
Steph was wildly panicking about Anthony and leaving him desperate voice messages. She went to get sympathy from Chas, who wasn’t very sympathetic at all, so Steph stomped off. The teenager routine is getting really tired.
Caleb and Ruby were trying to find a way to keep Steph off the trail of Anthony. But she remained determined and has decided to head to Chiswick to find him.
Chas forced to take back her ‘lie’
Chas then went to see Ruby and confessed she had told Nicola and Laurel about Anthony. Ruby insisted Chas take it back and tell them she got it wrong. She can’t risk Steph finding out.
Ruby later encountered Angelica in the shop and asked questions about Anthony’s tutoring. She was relieved to realise nothing untoward had happened.
Chas then went to find Nicola and told her she had got the wrong end of the stick. Laurel was obviously aghast at the news and thinks she’s going to burn in hell. Not if we get to her first for this excessive whining.
Amy wanted a baby in Emmerdale tonight
Amy went to see Tracy to offer to babysit Frankie – awkward given Amy killed Tracy’s dad. But Tracy managed to forget that fact (again) and sent Frankie off with Amy.
Moira joined them and noticed Amy was getting broody. Amy tried to play it down, saying it was complicated, but Moira encouraged her to talk to Matty about it.
Also in Emmerdale tonight
Pollard was interested in Brenda living at the B&B and questioned an awkward Bob. He was then in a bit of a state when the estate agent called and tried to persuade him to drop the price of the shop. Kerry overheard him on the phone and realised things weren’t okay. But she couldn’t quite make it better, leaving Pollard thoughtful.
