1. John is making waves in Emmerdale

John Sugden is a man who knows how to make an entrance. First he has a roadside romp with Aaron and robs him blind. Then he unveils himself as the love child of Emmerdale legend, Jack Sugden.

Yes, it’s been a busy week for the handsome newcomer. And it seems there’s plenty more drama to come.

But while Victoria is hopeful her sibling will stick about in the village, it’s not a feeling shared by Aaron – or Mack!

2. John makes an enemy of Mack

John remains trapped at Barton and Dingle Automotives as he waits for his broken down van to be repaired. And it’s clear he’s not here to engage in friendly chit chat.

Tensions are already high between John and Aaron, who’s still raging over the humiliating theft. But will John show any remorse? Early indications suggest not.

Meanwhile, Mack takes an instant dislike to John’s standoffish behaviour. And he’s definitely someone you don’t want to make an enemy of. Could this be the start of a fresh rivalry in the Dales?

Mandy makes money in Emmerdale spoilers

3. Mandy transforms into a financial dominatrix

Mandy decides there’s only one way to fix her cashflow crisis, and that’s by becoming a sex worker! We’re not talking turning tricks, rather the practise of findom – aka financial domination.

After getting the low down on what being a financial dominatrix entails, Mandy decides she’ll give it a whirl. Tracy reckons it’s a crazy idea, but Mandy’s got a honeymoon to pay for. Desperate times call for desperate measures and all that.

Mandy sets herself up an online profile and slips on a masquerade mask as disguise. The transformation is complete – say hello to Mand’s new alter ego, Madame Diamante Dales.

Later, she logs online, hoping to find admirers who will lavish her enough money to solve her problems. Will the risky move pay off?

4. Jimmy is fined

Jimmy’s bad luck continues when he’s hit with a whopping fine.

The King’s latest crisis occurs after an inspector arrives at Home James Haulage to do a spot check on the vehicles. Unfortunately the lorries don’t meet the expected standard and horrified Jimmy is fined thousands.

How will he explain this to business partner Will Taylor? And will Jimmy be able to find the money to pay it off?

We know Caleb is out to ruin Jimmy’s business, so could he have anything to do with this?
