What’s still to come in Emmerdale this week?

It’s been a big week so far in the Dales. Kim and Will’s on-going feud appears to not be ending anytime soon and they’ve ramped up their efforts to annoy one another, while Laurel and Arthur have been massively clashing.

Elsewhere, we’ve seen Tom continue his evil scheming and Amelia trying to make amends with Sam and Lydia.

In Friday’s episode, Billy continues to hide his big secret from Dawn. Viewers, along with Mack, know that Billy has been taking part in unlicensed boxing matches in a bid to make quick cash. Will he finally come clean to his wife?

Also, John proves to be an ally while a mysterious agreement is made, albeit reluctantly. But, it remains to be seen who John is supporting and who is making dodgy deals.
