Carena Crawford

It’s been another week of drama in Emmerdale and that shows no signs of stopping as spoilers for the next few months reveal the drama is only going to ramp up a gear.

This week on screen we saw Graham face Kim and Joe Tate after faking his own death for six years. But there are still secrets yet to be discovered.

We also saw Paddy go to great lengths to protect Bear who is clearly struggling. By the end of the week bodies were found buried on Moira’s land and that means big trouble.

We already know from spoilers for Monday, February 2 to Friday, February 6 there’s plenty more drama to come as Moira is charged with double murder and Cain faces a devastating cancer diagnosis.

Beyond this, we can also look forward to watching some big storylines finally reaching their end, some huge characters may be saying goodbye – and some other villagers getting a chance to shine.

Read on for our pick of the best upcoming Emmerdale spoilers…

1. Moira fights to prove her innocence

Things are not looking good for Moira Dingle as the evidence stacked against her is huge. She is charged with the double murder of Celia and Anya next week and taken straight to prison. When Cain visits her she is sporting a black eye, so life inside is not going to be easy for her. Who is targeting her – and why?

However there is someone who can help: Bear Wolf. He knows Moira had nothing to do with it. He knows how Anya died and that Moira was not involved. It was even Bear who buried Anya’s body so once again he can atest Moira knew nothing.

The problem is that Paddy is stopping Bear from talking to the police. It’s to protect Bear from being brought to justice for killing Ray, but it’s condemning Moira to a life behind bars.

Will Bear and Paddy step up and risk their freedome for Moira’s? And how will Paddy cope knowing what he’s hiding?

2. 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 with Bear in a state, Paddy has had to trake drastic action to keep him quiet too.

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.”

3. 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 this 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. Some think he is Jodie’s father others think it was to do with the human trafficking ring Ray and Celia were running.

Emmerdale should be clearing this one up in the near future – we hope.

4. An exit for Victoria after John’s murder in Emmerdale spoilers

In the coming months we will be saying goodbye to the iconic Victoria Sugden. But in happier news, it’s not forever – as actress Isabel Hodgins announced she is expecting her first baby!

Isabel recently got married and so the whole thing is absolutely adorable. And she joins the many Emmerdale stars having babies recently.

It looks like we’re hurtling fast towards the exit as she has just admitted to killing her brother. But as Robert and Aaron scramble to help her cover it up, it’s been promised the secret won’t stay buried for long.

“The truth about John’s death will be revealed, as Victoria’s clever deception, making John’s death look like suicide, will unravel,” Laura Shaw said.

“Evil Joe Tate knows the truth and has damning video evidence which he plans to use to get what he wants from the Sugdens, potentially taking control of Butler’s Farm. Robert is also in the thick of it, trying to save Victoria by planting evidence.”

We’ve already seen the beginnings of Victoria falling apart on screen – and chances are that will lead to the truth coming out.

5. 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…”

6. Dingle devastation in Emmerdale spoilers

Cain Dingle is set to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Which couldn’t come at a worse possible time as Moira is arrested for human trafficking.

“The Dingle family are set to face huge repercussions and Cain is at the centre of a major prostate cancer storyline spanning across 2026,” Laura said.

“Adding to their devastation, Moira will be arrested for human trafficking, with her arrest timed to coincide with her husband’s diagnosis. Their complex marriage will be tested as they face dark times.”
