Eli’s arrested!

After Rosemary tips off the police they raid the Dingles’ cottage.  They find all Eli’s stolen goods and then they slap him in handcuffs and arrest him. But is he really Tom King’s murderer?

When Carl calls Chas to tell her what’s happened, she races home just in time to see the cops carting Eli off to the police station.

Later, Rosemary has lunch with Superintendent Vaughan in the pub and Chas sees a chance to get in the policeman’s good books. But her plan backfires spectacularly when Rosemary taunts her about Eli’s arrest – and Chas loses her temper!

She hurls herself at Rosemary and Vaughan is quick to arrest the furious Dingle for assault.

Debbie’s in charge

Elsewhere, Scott puts Debbie in charge at  the garage and she gets cracking straightaway. But she finds it surprisingly difficult and struggles to service Ashley’s car.

Desperate, she calls Lisa for help and together they repair the car. Debbie pays Lisa a tenner and charges Ashley £120 for the service.

Chas AND Eli are charged with murder in Classic Emmerdale

At the police station, Barraclough and Dasari  interrogate Chas about the assault. She dismisses it as a misunderstanding. But she’s shocked when the police reveal that the horse’s head that Eli stole was the murder weapon.

And the cousins’ day goes from bad to worse when they’re both arrested for Tom’s murder!

Classic Emmerdale: Financial woes

Meanwhile, Rosemary is worried when the King brothers head off to see their solicitor. Afterwards it’s bad news for the brothers because Mitchell tells them what’s in the will. He reveals that that in the event of Tom’s death his will stated the property development would be sold and any money used to pay debts at Home Farm.

It looks like the new Rosemary King is the one who’s going to benefit from Tom’s death.
