Emmerdale fans, brace yourselves — next week’s episodes are set to send shockwaves through the village with heartbreak, betrayal, and a devastating mystery that could change everything.

From Charity’s explosive baby secret to Paddy Kirk’s terrifying fears for his missing father, the drama is reaching fever pitch in the Dales. As emotions spiral and relationships fracture,

questions arise that could shake the very foundations of the beloved Yorkshire community.

Charity’s Baby Bombshell — Secrets Exposed!

Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) has always been a master of keeping secrets, but her latest one might be impossible to hide. In upcoming episodes, her carefully built façade begins to crumble when Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) threatens to expose her lies at the worst possible moment — during her baby scan. The tension between the two has been simmering for weeks, but this confrontation could ignite a firestorm that leaves Charity’s life in tatters.

Viewers will see Charity trying to maintain her composure as she faces the truth about her pregnancy — and the fallout could change her relationships forever. With emotions running high, speculation grows: will she finally tell the truth about the baby’s father? Or will her web of deception destroy everything she holds dear?

Robert’s Emotional Tug-of-War — Love or Loyalty?

Meanwhile, Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) finds himself torn in an emotional triangle that’s pulling him apart. Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill), the reformed ex-convict, shocks Robert by proposing a vow renewal — a grand gesture meant to solidify their relationship. But just as Robert begins to consider the idea, old feelings for Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) start to resurface.

Aaron, still deeply in love with Robert, is heartbroken to learn of the proposal. In classic Emmerdale fashion, what begins as a tender moment spirals into emotional chaos. With the past colliding with the present, fans are left wondering — will Robert follow his heart or remain loyal to the man trying to rebuild a future with him? The tension between the three men promises to deliver some of the most gut-wrenching scenes of the year.

April’s Heartbreaking Secret — Marlon’s Daughter in Danger

While the adults wrestle with love and lies, tragedy brews for one of Emmerdale’s youngest residents. April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) is hiding a devastating secret from her father, Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock). Struggling with debt and fear, April’s desperation leads her down a dark and dangerous path — one that could have life-altering consequences.

In an emotionally charged storyline, April nearly sells her body for money to pay off her drug-dealing debts. The sheer weight of her situation pushes her to the edge, as she debates whether to confess to her father or flee the village altogether to escape ruthless dealer Ray Walters (Joe Absolom).

The episode is expected to be one of the most heart-wrenching in recent Emmerdale history, as Marlon remains blissfully unaware of his daughter’s pain. Fans can expect a deeply emotional performance from both Charnock and Flanagan as the truth inevitably comes crashing down.

A Forbidden Kiss — New Romance for Kerry and Jai

Just when the dust begins to settle in the village, a scandalous romance takes center stage. Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) and Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) find themselves drawn to each other in a moment of passion — despite their messy history. Only weeks ago, Jai fired Kerry in a tense confrontation that ended with bitterness and anger.

But as Emmerdale so often proves, the line between hate and desire is razor thin. Next week, the two share a heated moment that leads to an impulsive kiss. Sparks fly, but the situation quickly turns awkward when they’re nearly caught red-handed. The chemistry between the pair is undeniable, but will their secret tryst lead to love or yet another disaster in the village?

Paddy’s Terror — Has Bear Met a Tragic End?

And now, the storyline that has Emmerdale fans gasping — could Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) be facing the unthinkable? The village vet is plunged into panic when his father, Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards), suddenly vanishes without a trace. The disappearance sends Paddy spiraling, consumed by worry and guilt as the days go by with no sign of Bear.

The alarm bells ring when Bear misses a special milestone — little Eve’s birthday. For a man as devoted to family as Bear, the silence is deafening. Paddy’s worst fears begin to take hold. Has something terrible happened to his father? Or could Bear be hiding something — perhaps even running from danger?

Unable to shake the dread gnawing at him, Paddy finally calls the police to report his father missing. The investigation soon reveals more questions than answers, leaving both Paddy and the audience on edge. Could this be the prelude to a devastating tragedy? Or is Bear simply keeping a low profile to protect someone — maybe even Paddy himself?

The haunting possibility of Bear’s death sends Paddy into emotional turmoil, dredging up memories of past losses and mental health struggles. Dominic Brunt’s performance promises to be raw and heartbreaking, as Paddy faces one of his darkest chapters yet.

Chaos in the Dales — What Comes Next

As all these storylines collide, Emmerdale is preparing for one of its most explosive weeks yet. With secrets unraveling, old wounds reopening, and shocking discoveries on the horizon, the village will never be the same again.

Charity’s baby revelation could ignite a scandal that rocks the Dingle family to its core. Robert’s divided heart threatens to tear friendships apart, while April’s tragic storyline could expose the darker realities faced by youth in crisis. Kerry and Jai’s dangerous flirtation adds another layer of chaos — one that’s sure to ripple through the Sharma family.

But it’s Paddy’s storyline that looms over them all. His desperate search for Bear could end in heartbreak — or redemption. Either way, Emmerdale fans are in for an emotional rollercoaster as questions of life, death, and forgiveness take center stage.

Will Paddy uncover the truth before it’s too late? Is Bear really gone… or is this mystery only beginning?
