1. Robert meets Owen’s brother

DC Cole arrives at the surgery to get Owen’s medical history and Robert spies him. Wanting to know what’s going on, Robert is intrigued when Claudette lets slip that John visited Owen’s house shortly before his death.

Robert puts the pieces together and decides to investigate further. He sets up a meeting with Owen’s brother, Steve. Steve has shocking information for Rob: there’s no way Owen could have murdered Nate.

It turns out Owen has a cast iron alibi for the day of the death. So what will Robert do with this new information?

2. Paddy reveals the truth in Emmerdale spoilers

After weeks of trauma and upset, Paddy is trying to put it all behind him and move on with his life. He finally opens up to Marlon about what he’s been doing to help himself.

Viewers now know Paddy is volunteering at a crisis helpline. But what we also know that Paddy doesn’t right now is that the person he is counselling is John Sugden.

It was revealed on Wednesday (July 23) that John had been opening up to Paddy behind the safety of a computer screen. But when Paddy suggested a call instead of messaging, John chickened out and logged off.

So John escaped Paddy recognising him this time, but as they continue to talk on the messaging service, will he take that extra step and make the call?

And as Paddy tells Marlon exactly what he’s been doing, is he putting himself in danger without knowing it? Is Paddy John’s next victim?
