What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Death, emotions and blackmail

Things came up trumps for Caleb in Emmerdale tonight when he received the money from Ruby’s mum. But he only found out after Ruby had discovered her mum had died. So now he’s got a very guilty secret to keep.

Meanwhile, Will thought he’d sorted his little problem, but it seems Kim’s behaviour is troubling him. Plus, Moira dropped a bombshell on Cain.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday September 18.

Caleb’s quids in as Ruby’s mum dies

It was Nicky’s birthday and Ruby couldn’t get hold of him. It’s the first year she hasn’t seen him and Ruby was upset. More upset, it seems, than the fact there is another daughter who she never sees or mentions. Unless Stephanie is not her daughter at all?

Ruby was then called to the hospital by the doctors to see her mother – but discovered she was too late as Helen had already died. Caleb had taken tips from Tom the lurker and was lurking in the hospital corridor, behind a trolley, listening to the news get delivered. But it seems he was more worried about the fact he’d lost his money.

Ruby then went in to see her mum’s body and asked why she wanted to see her before she died. Emotional Ruby told the body she had had plenty of time to say sorry, so why did she wait. She also asked if her mum had ever loved her.

Back at home, Caleb was waiting, pretending he didn’t know anything. He played innocent as Ruby explained what had happened. Then he played the supportive husband comforting his wife as she offloaded her emotional turmoil.

But then it turned out Helen did transfer the money before she died! Hurrah for Caleb. Except now he’s really got to keep this covered up from his wife. Ruby is upset she will never know what her mum wanted to say to her, Caleb knows he stopped their reunion from happening all for the sake of money and if Ruby finds out, it might be all over. The truth never stays buried in Emmerdale for long, though…

Kim blew hot and cold in Emmerdale tonight

Yes, the Will blackmail saga is still dragging on, but rest assured tomorrow all will be revealed – we think. And we hope.

Kim is still being far, far too nice to Will for our liking. She’s given him a new watch and is fawning over him. For his part, he’s lapping up the attention and insisting he knows how lucky he is. He then got a message saying the price has gone up to £50k

Will turned to Caleb in a panic to get a loan of £40k. He told him he’d give him the haulage yard as collateral. Will has three months to pay it back or he’ll sign over his shares. Jackpot for Caleb because this is just what he wanted! Something tells us he’ll make sure Will can’t pay it back.

But just as Will thought his plan was all coming together, Kim blew him off for lunch. She was too upset about Tally to eat, apparently. Will claimed to understand, but is he finally putting the piece together?

Moira blew up

In spite of her brain tumour, Moira does not want everyone fussing over her and is fed-up of people making her feel completely useless. She snapped at Matty and Amy, and it was hard to know whether it was the tumour talking or if actually they were being quite annoying and deserved it!

Cain was still struggling and confided in Chas as he fixed Eve’s bike. He told his sister he and Moira were ‘cool’ and Cain Dingle using the word ‘cool’ was more than enough to ring alarm bells! He admitted he was scared and the tumour had changed Moira.

But then he went home and he and Moira got jiggy on the sofa, so it seems he’s putting his fears aside to be ‘supportive’.

However, Moira then dropped the bombshell she wasn’t having the operation on her brain. She accused him of not having her corner and stormed off. Cain didn’t know whether he was coming or going. But can he persuade her to get the surgery?

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Dawn wasn’t in the mood to celebrate

It was Dawn’s birthday. And Will had forgotten. But Billy wanted to give her a proper celebration, only he can’t afford it and they can’t go anywhere because of Evan. Billy promised her a holiday to Cornwall so he could show off his surfing skills – what a birthday treat!

Jai couldn’t win Arthur over

Wanting to be a dad to Arthur, Jai tried to apologise, but Arthur wasn’t having it. He told Jai he hated him. Then Jai snapped at Charles, who later tried to offer more counsel. Jai confided he misses his family – Arthur, Laurel and Dotty. Charles advised him to fight for the kids and make sure Arthur knows Jai is there for him.

His advice didn’t exactly go to plan though, when Arthur plain ignored him next time they crossed paths. Best think again, Jai!
