Kelly wants Billy Hopwood to leave the village for good in Classic Emmerdale episodes airing on ITV3 on Thursday May 15.  But is she going about it in the right way?

Meanwhile, Val wants Paul to take some responsibility for Rodney, Donna’s worried about the kids, and Victoria’s showing her nasty side.

These episodes first aired on January 28 and 29, 2007.

Vengeful Kelly is delighted when she sees an article about Billy on the front page of the Hotten Courier. But Viv isn’t so happy about it when she hears the news from Billy himself. A row blows up between Viv and Kelly. Upset, Kelly takes herself off to her dad’s grave. But she’s shocked to be confronted by Billy and lashes out.

Elsewhere, Victoria reveals to Daz that she knows all about him meeting up with his dad, and tries to blackmail him over it!

When she doesn’t succeed, she spitefully tells her dad everything.

Donna’s fretting over the kids

At the Woolpack, unexpected new mum Donna is fretting. She’s horrified to discover Luke’s been sick in the night thanks to him drinking vodka he stole from the pub. She realises it’s not going to be easy looking after four kids in the Woolpack and asks for exclusive use of the back room – but Val’s not happy about it.

Val’s smoking habit has devastating consequences!

Elsewhere, Val’s finding it hard to kick her smoking habit. Losing the battle of willpower, she buys some cigarettes and takes a few sneaky puffs in the back room of the pub. When she’s interrupted by Paul, she throws the cigarette into the bin, where it begins to smoulder…
