1. Cain and Moira to lose the farm?

After Cain stole Joe’s car and was caught on camera, and then punched Joe, he’s got nowhere left to turn. Joe is threatening him with prison if he does not sell the farm.

Knowing he has to be free to fight his cancer and to look after the boys while Moira is inside, Cain can’t see any other way out. He will confess everything to Moira next week, who tells him his health is the most important thing.

2. Prison for Bear

Bear has been charged with manslaughter and let out on bail. But he is still spiralling and is now in a secure mental health unit.

Beyond that Bear continues to struggle. Paddy will soon get word that Bear is to be assessed to see if he can be released. But that means being released into prison. Will Bear cope inside?

And, despite Paddy’s optimism that Bear will get off with a suspended sentence, could he actually be facing a long time in jail?

3. Cain’s cancer fight

We have seen Cain find out he is battling aggressive prostate cancer. He needs a radical prostatectomy and that surgery could have serious side-effects including incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Sarah is supporting him and next week Moira and the family find out too.

Actor Jeff Hordley told The Mirror: “Everything is falling to pieces and he doesn’t deal with his diagnosis at all well. Cain has never found it easy to talk about his feelings anyway but after learning of his diagnosis, he snaps at everyone.

“He worries that if he tells anyone and with Moira in prison, nobody will be around to look after their children. He is terrified he is going to die.”

Will Cain find the courage to deal with this?

4. ‘Make or break’ for Moira and Cain

As well as Cain facing his own mortality, he could be heading for a marriage crisis too. In an interview with Metro.co.uk Jeff warned he doesn’t know what the future holds for Cain and Moira.

“I think that’s what’s good about this story, for Cain and Moira. There’s a series of obstacles and hurdles that lay in front of them that I think are really going to challenge them as a couple.

“As to whether it makes or breaks them, I don’t think I even know just yet but it’s going to be really interesting to see.”

Show boss Laura Shaw also hinted things will be complicated for Moira and Cain. “Their complex marriage will be tested as they face dark times,” she said.

However in a recent interview with The Mirror, Jeff gave hope as he talked about how strong their love is.

“Cain is told surgery could make him incontinent and/or he could have an erectile dysfunction afterwards. For some men, this can be short term but for others, it is forever.

“What if Moira won’t want him? This will be a story about how ultimately their love for each other is so strong.”

Sounds encouraging. Let’s just hope it is.

5. Paddy’s mental health crisis in Emmerdale spoilers

After watching Bear kill Ray, Paddy faced a decision over whether to protect his dad, or hand him over to the authorities.

Together with Dylan Paddy got rid of Ray’s body. Although things hit a hurdle when Jai unknowingly drove Ray away.

They are now pretending they know nothing and carrying on as normal. But DS Walsh has got the bit between her teeth and is sure she has evidence Paddy was involved.

He knows it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out, but how will he cope when it does?

We know that this isn’t just going to affect Bear’s mental health, but Paddy’s as well, with show boss Laura Shaw previously revealing: “[This] tragic discovery will bring Paddy’s mental health problems back to the forefront.”

6. Graham Foster’s connection to Jodie

It’s been confirmed that Graham is sticking around now his secret is out in the open. But one huge mystery remains: just what is his connection to Coronation Street’s Jodie?

During Corriedale Graham had her tied up in the back of his van. We thought we might get answers last week when Joe asked Graham why he had returned now. Graham replied that he knew he couldn’t just walk away when he saw Joe in the hospital on the night of the Corriedale crash.

But when Joe then pressed him as to what he was doing there, Graham refused to explain why he was at the hospital in the first place. He swiftly changed the subject and it was forgotten.

But fans haven’t forgotten and are desperate to know. It’s now been confirmed by Corrie actress Olivia Frances Brown that we will get answers – but she couldn’t say when!

7. Charity’s secret explodes in Emmerdale spoilers

Mack knows the baby Charity is carrying may not actually be Sarah’s. What he doesn’t know is it could be Ross’. In fact, Mack thinks it’s his and in his desperation to become a father again, he wants the truth to be told.

Charity has so far persuaded him to keep it from Sarah so they can get a DNA test done before worrying her. Presumably she wants to fake these results too!

But she will not be successful in keeping her secret forever. “The truth surrounding Charity’s pregnancy is set to blow wide open,” Laura teased. “Mackenzie mistakenly believes he could be the baby’s father, but the secret that Ross is the real father is still under wraps.

“With the baby due in spring, the birth may be the event that finally exposes all of Charity’s secrets…”

8. Trouble for Jacob and Dr Todd

Jacob’s mentor Dr Caroline Todd is back for a longer stint. She will also become involved in village life and not just at the hospital.

This is set to be a problem for Jacob as it turns into a workplace bullying storyline.

Of her comeback Caroline Harker said: “I’m delighted to be back at Emmerdale for a longer stint playing Doctor Todd. She’s a complex character and from what I’ve been told so far, quite a tricky one for Jacob to navigate.

“Workplace bullying is commonplace, and it will be interesting to see it brought to our screens in a serial drama such as Emmerdale.”

Some fans have wondered if her secret is even darker than we think and that she’s connected to Ray and Celia’s drug world…

9. Kammy’s backstory explained in Emmerdale spoilers

Speaking on the Inside Soap’s Soap Scoop podcast, Shebz Miah confirmed that there will be more to come from Kammy this year.

As it turns out, Shebz has just had the meeting with the Emmerdale bosses, to discuss the finer details of a long-term storyline.

He explained: “You guys are in for a surprise, I’ll tell you that. It’s a hot topic at the moment with Kammy. Everyone is always asking me: ‘When do we get to learn more about him and understand what’s happening?'”

Shebz admitted he has spent the last lot of months in meetings with producers and writers, trying to come up with a worthy backstory. And finally, they have one, and even Shebz didn’t “imagine” what it was.

He said: “Honestly, it was a mixture of emotions when I found out. There was a lot of relief, there was happiness. But then, there is also a tragic side to it as well.

“There’s some tragedy in there. But it all makes sense. There is a reason why he is so cheery and charismatic.”
