Robert is desperate to honour his family legacy. He wants to follow in the footsteps of his father, Jack Sugden, and make him proud. Emmerdale Producer Laura Shaw said: “The Sugdens have always been at the centre of our village, having been the original farming family when Emmerdale was first created,” she said. “This return to the farm’s roots is a powerful moment, echoing the early drama that unfolded when Annie Sugden and her sons, Jack and Joe, farmed the land. “Taking over the tenancy, grandson Robert wants to do his best and make his dad proud. With his loyal partner Aaron, they are ready for this new chapter and committed to making the farm thrive.” She concluded: “Farming remains a vital presence in Emmerdale, providing a daily dose of excitement and fresh air for our audience.” The good news is Cain and Moira are not leaving Emmerdale. In fact, both have reportedly signed new contracts recently. The couple are leaving Butler’s Farm, but once Moira is out of prison, Cain is determined to make sure she can continue her career as a farmer. He starts looking for new land so he and Moira can start their own farm. Two farms are soon working in the village and flourishing: Emmerdale Farm and The Dingle Farm. Which is good news to us! Paddy and Dylan confess (Credit: ITV) 2. Prison for Bear – and Paddy? Bear has been charged with manslaughter and let out on bail. He went to a secure mental health unit, but is now well enough to be released, which means being taken into custody for breaking his bail conditions. Still under pressure from DS Walsh to confess he killed Ray on purpose and Paddy was involved, Bear cracks next week. Paddy then thinks his only choice is to confess too. Paddy and Dylan admit their part in it and are charged with perverting the course of justice. It doesn’t look like they’ll get bail, and given they’ve confessed, a prison term seems likely. Will they all go down? Everything is getting too much for Cain (Credit: ITV) 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. 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? Moira didn’t do this (Credit: ITV) 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. Graham was going to leave Emmerdale but changed his mind (Credit: ITV) 5. 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! Is Kim being played? (Credit: ITV) 6. War between Graham and Kim They might have given in to their passion this week, but Graham quickly regretted it. Kim has been left heartbroken, secretly confiding her feelings in Lydia. But Graham remains determined to bring Kim down and seperate Joe from her clutches. Battle lines are drawn, but how far will he go to win the war? Could this be the end for Kim Tate? Charity can’t keep things hidden for long (Credit: ITV) 7. Charity’s secret explodes in Emmerdale spoilers Charity has so far has kept her baby lie a secret, except from Ross, who seems to be keeping quiet that the baby she is carrying is in fact his and hers, not Sarah and Jacob’s. 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…” Dr Todd is returning to Emmerdale (Credit: ITV) 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… Kammy will get a storyline in Emmerdale (Credit: ITV) 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.” Steph will be back in Emmerdale (Credit: ITV) 10.
