Emmerdale review of the week: Belle fought back, we still love DS Foy and will Ella kill again?

Should Chas watch her back?
Kerry Barrett

This week’s review is full of despair, because everything in Emmerdale just feels a bit bleak, doesn’t it?

Poor Moira’s still in hospital, and there’s misery and upset everywhere we look. Here’s what we thought of this week’s episodes in our Emmerdale review.

Kim and Will’s endless plots

We planned to do a little recap of what’s gone on with the warring couple but as soon as we started writing we realised we weren’t completely sure. Someone is double-crossing someone else, and Will seems to be working with Kim‘s Graham-clone financial adviser Peter.

But Peter seems to be working with someone else to bring down Kim (why does he even care? Who even is he?!)

Frankly, if Joe Tate’s not involved we’re not interested.

Ella unleashed?

One thing we ARE interested in is Ella. Because she has taken the news about Chas and Liam very badly indeed. Which is a little bit odd because she and Liam only went out for about 10 minutes and he was clearly never that into her.

But her being so furious about the whole thing has made us a bit excited that she might take terrible revenge on Chas and Liam. She’s killed before, after all…

Vinny’s FINE in our Emmerdale review

Is the whole Tina Dingle thing done and dusted now, then? Is that it? When Vinny joked with Belle that they just needed to “rejig the family tree” it sounded like it was all over. Job done. Surely there’s going to be more to this? We hope so, anyway!

Belle and Tom have one more showdown as he plans to flee

Belle outsmarted Tom

When Tom tormented Belle this week, we were beginning to feel a bit frustrated. How come, we thought, no one is ever around when he corners poor Belle.

When he drove past her as he made his mistake, we even found ourselves wondering why Belle never uses her phone to help herself. Why doesn’t she film him? we thought.

But then Ms Dingle only went and outdid herself! She used her phone to track her evil ex and the hero that is DS Foy (yep, that crush we have on DS Foy is holding strong). Brilliant gripping stuff. We can’t wait to see Tom brought to justice.

Amelia and Jimmy finally saw sense!

A big shout out to Amelia and Jimmy for realising they’d also been duped by Tom and admitting their faults.

We especially enjoyed Charity and Amelia’s chat in the church. The Dingles have been really kind towards both Jimmy and Nicola this week, despite how they’d behaved towards Belle. It was good to see.

Leyla’s back in our Emmerdale review!

We’ve missed Leyla so we were very pleased to see her back this week. But it just reminded us that those rumours that she’s being killed off are still flying about and we’re not happy about them!
