Emmerdale's Ella and Jai

Emmerdale tonight saw Ella chuck a perfectly good carrot cake on the floor (how outrageous!) and then proceed to chuck multiple artificial plants at poor Wendy Posner…

Elsewhere, Gabby arranged for the contents of Holdgate to be cleared out, resulting in Jai walking into an empty house. The look on his face was of pure horror, and we loved every second of it!

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday, August 22.

Emmerdale tonight: Ella doesn’t do birthdays

Mandy thought it would be a great idea to surprise Ella with a ‘proper coffee’ and some of ‘her buns’ for breakfast before giving her a pamper at the salon. It was her 30th birthday after all!

But, Mandy couldn’t have gotten things more wrong as Ella realised that she’d posted the before and after photos on her social media page for everyone to see…

With Ella smashing her birthday carrot cake on the ground (maybe chocolate cake is more her vibe?), Liam then reassured her that Mandy wasn’t exactly ‘Social Media Personality of the Year.’ It wasn’t as if the pics would go viral…

At her birthday party in the Wooly, Ella started to let her hair down and have a sing song with her mates. Mandy had gone to town on the decorations, filling the place with lots of leopard print balloons (remind us to hire Mandy as our next party planner!)

However, June’s son and Joanne’s sister (you know, the girl she killed) Gary then turned up after tracking her down. He then gave Ella a card with a photo of Joanne in it.

Well, that was the last straw for Ella, wasn’t it?! As Wendy tried to comfort her back at the surgery, Ella was convinced that she deserved to rot in prison.

She then set out to get sent down again by attacking Wendy, slapping her before going on to throw lots of plant pots at her.

Ella then made Wendy phone the police to report the crime, soon getting arrested and willingly jumping into the police car. What a chaotic 30th!

Emmerdale tonight: Sharma drama

With Jai making sure that he comes out on top during the divorce, Nicola and Gabby sided with Laurel as Jai’s pettiness continued.

At the cafe, Nicola enjoyed watching Jai suffer as she served him the smoothie he ordered – with a few added extras! She watched him spit with disgust as she revealed that she’d added salt and chilli to the concoction (gross, but nothing he didn’t deserve!)

Later on, Jai returned to Holdgate and got a right shock as he entered an emptied-out building. With all of his furniture gone, the only thing inside was a cardboard sign that read ‘Karma! Mr Sharma!’

Whilst he accused Laurel, Gabby and Nicola of scheming, they didn’t let on that they were the brains behind the clear out.

Gabby then took Laurel on a little trip to show her a fully-loaded van full on Jai’s things. She suggested selling them for a profit for Laurel couldn’t bring herself to stoop so low.

Laurel soon panicked though when Jai shared his intentions of calling the police… Maybe she should put everything back before things get too out of hand… Eek!

Moira crosses her arms and watches on angry in Emmerdale

Moira and Cain clashed over a bull

Not the usual thing to argue about here, but tonight saw Cain and Moira clash over a bull.

Yes, Moira wanted to buy a new bull for the farm. She certainly had Nate’s approval too.

However, Cain found out and told her that they had a perfectly good bull already. They couldn’t even afford a new one. Moira was adamant that this new bull would be a great thing for them though. So, it looks like they’re getting a new bull then!

Kim really has Will sweating

With Billy and Dawn worrying for Evan as he prepares for another round of chemo, Will sat at Home Farm struggling to contact Kim.

Having not heard from Kim since she jetted off after Rose’s disappearance, Will has been trying to contact her.

With Kim failing to answer the phone yet again, Will started to worry that his relationship really was over for good. Shouldn’t have slept with Rose then, should you Will?
