(Credit: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The madness at Home Farm<\/h2>\n<p>Oh, where to start with this? At the beginning of the week Dawn was absolutely convinced that Will had been murdered by Kim. So convinced, in fact, that she stood up at Will\u2019s funeral and accused Kim in front of the handful of mourners who\u2019d bothered to show up. And then she went to the police, who immediately responded by arresting Kim at Will\u2019s grave.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Dawn was even more determined to prove that Kim had murdered Will, so she drugged her with ketamine and screamed at her to admit what she\u2019d done, while Kim hallucinated, then passed out and had a seizure.<\/p>\n<p>And if that wasn\u2019t enough, having realised she was wrong and been let off the hook for drugging her stepmum, Dawn then snogged Joe Tate who she hated about ten minutes earlier. Is it any wonder our heads are spinning?<\/p><section class=\"widget block-30 widget_block mb-4\"><div class=\"mb-3 stories-slider-container overflow-hidden w-[100%] max-sm:w-[108%]

She is so rude to her mother Ruby it makes us cringe, while she stamps her feet if anything doesn\u2019t go her way.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>We think it\u2019s time she was sent to her room to think about her behaviour and if things carry on like this, it\u2019ll be no screen time for a week.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9008\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9008\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9008 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Featured-image-Laurel.jpg\" alt=\"Laurel in Emmerdale looking cross (Credit: ITV)\" width=\"1500\" height=\"784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Featured-image-Laurel.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Featured-image-Laurel-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Featured-image-Laurel-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Featured-image-Laurel-768x401.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9008\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laurel has had a busy Christmas \u2013 apparently (Credit: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Where\u2019s the Laurel action?<\/h2>\n<p>Laurel\u2019s been up to all sorts recently.
