Is that right? Anyway, if that\u2019s the case, we don\u2019t really understand why she didn\u2019t just tell Ruby what had happened?<\/p>\n<h2>Moira is so close!<\/h2><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>At one point during the harrowing 100 days, Celia gave a jaunty wave to Moira, who was across the fields. And that distracted us a bit, too. Because we thought if they\u2019re so close, how come no one has seen anything? Has no one spotted Bear? Or seen some of Celia\u2019s slaves struggling under the bags of feed?<\/p>\n<h2>Emmerdale review: Listen to Eve!<\/h2>\n<p>And speaking of being spotted, little Eve clocked her grandfather at the end of this week. And we understand it was slightly unfortunate timing with Matty getting her and Isaac to play \u2018bear hunt\u2019 and Paddy having talked about his dad. But come on!<\/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>Everyone was treating Eve like she was a toddler who was learning to talk, rather than a sassy six year old. They were putting words in her mouth, and wondering \u2013 in her earshot \u2013 if she\u2019d got confused between her Grandad Bear and an actual bear. Riiiiight. Bit weird.<\/p>\n<h2>Turkey troubles<\/h2>\n<p>Anyway, back on the farm, the slaves were in trouble when the turkeys that had been delivered to the local butcher weren\u2019t up to scratch.<\/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>Now, we are not farmers. We are not familiar with the ins and outs of turkey plucking. But we feel that there would be maybe be paperwork involved in supplying meat to butcher shops? Some inspections, perhaps? We know Celia sent Paddy away when he turned up to do a vet check but has she managed to swerve all the admin involved?<\/p>\n<p>Also, who buys their Christmas turkey six weeks before the big day, anyway?!<\/p>\n<h2>Robert\u2019s prison experience<\/h2><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>In what was a rollercoaster, emotional week, we also had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/news\/robert-fans-found-standalone-emmerdale-episode-disappointing-thanks-to-one-thing\/\">a special episode showing Robert and Kev in prison<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It was a lot. So let\u2019s just start by saying that Prison Kev, with the shoulder-length hair and the beard gets a big thumbs up from us.<\/p>\n<p>Shallow observations aside, this episode was pretty good. We still love Kev, though we understand much more now about how very, very controlling he really is.<\/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>And we also understand how vulnerable Robert is, even though he seems to be the one in control.<\/p>\n<p>Kev\u2019s relationship with Robert seemed quite sweet at first. At first! But then he stabbed himself and stopped Robert leaving. And of course there was the whole lying about dying thing.<\/p>\n<p>Though we\u2019re still really confused that the prison seemed to take his word for his condition and let him out without asking questions (though perhaps not, given the news lately!)<\/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<h2>Faith returned in our Emmerdale review!<\/h2>\n<p>But of course the two big revelations this week were firstly that we saw the return of Faith! Lovely, sassy, clever, funny Faith Dingle. We miss her so much and seeing her again reminded us of her absolute brilliance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/news\/sally-dexter-shares-hopes-pemanent-comeback-after-faith-makes-emmerdale-return\/\">We wish she could return properly<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Lewis is Kev\u2019s son!<\/h2><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>Then there was the frankly bizarre revelation that Lewis is Kev\u2019s son. His. SON. What?!<\/p>\n<p>Kev told Liam that he lies all the time, and one of the lies he tells is that he doesn\u2019t have any children. He revealed he had a son, who was the result of a crazy night with a barmaid in Leeds, whose name was Emma.<\/p>\n<p>EMMA. As in Barton. At least that\u2019s the conclusion we all jumped to with Lewis pottering around in the background as Kev told Liam everything.<\/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>How did this happen? What\u2019s going to happen next. Our minds are blown.<\/p>\n<h2>April\u2019s in the police station!<\/h2>\n<p>And the week ended with yet another revelation. April was at the police station! But why we do not know. Has she been arrested? Has she gone to report Ray and Celia\u2019s crimes? Has she gone to dob herself in for killing Callum (who we know isn\u2019t actually dead?).<\/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>What a cliffhanger to end the week on!<\/p>\n<p><b>Read more:\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/emmerdale-insider.com\/2025\/01\/01\/whos-leaving-emmerdale-2025-complete-guide-departures-returns-new-arrivals\/\"><b>Who\u2019s leaving Emmerdale?
