In Classic Emmerdale spoilers for episodes airing on ITV3 on Tuesday September 24, Steph’s changing her mind, Pearl is spilling the beans, and Carl’s giving Chas parenting advice. These episodes originally aired on January 27 and 29, 2006.

Steph changes her mind

Betty manages to convince Steph to stay in the village. Betty tells Steph that if she’s telling the truth about abusive Terence then he’ll have won if she runs away. Steph realises that Betty has her doubts about Terence and draws strength from her discovery.

She approaches Terence and tells him his charm is wearing thin – Betty has already seen through him and soon others will too. She says that if he doesn’t leave the village, she will tell everyone what he did. But Terence says it was a long time ago, and she needs to get over it.

Terence causes chaos

Terence approaches Steph in the shop and whispers a threat to her. Viv notices the tensions between them and mentions it to Alan, who talks to Terence about it. Terence takes the opportunity to blame it all on Betty. So Alan storms off to confront her. She tells him she thinks there could be something in Steph’s claims but Alan is furious. He tells Betty he’s going to move out as soon as he can.

Nicola’s counting the pennies

Nicola arranges a budget-friendly evening for her and Simon – watching a DVD at home. And she tells him she’s hopeful their relationship has turned a corner.

Budget backfires!

Simon’s fuming when he finds out Nicola paid Louise £20 to make herself scarce before their movie night.

Back home, Nicola’s cooking a slap-up dinner when Simon confronts her about the money and tells Nicola she’s got no idea how to save. He storms out and Nicola’s left upset. She pours her heart out to his mum Lesley, admitting she equates fun with spending money. Lesley urges her not to give up.

Playing mum!

Chas enjoys spending time with Carl’s kids, Thomas and Anya. But after a successful day, she tells Carl that she’s good with other people’s kids, but her own son, Aaron, still hates her.

Carl suggests she asks Aaron to come and stay, pointing out that she has to keep trying because otherwise they will become more estranged.
