What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Arthur’s lies erupted in the Woolpack and Tom turned his threats towards a child
John Sugden is determined to prove his innocence
Emmerdale tonight saw Arthur spiral further out of control as he boasted about his sex life – and was caught out. But as he refused to admit he was lying, all hell broke loose in the pub.
Meanwhile, Tom’s threatening behaviour intimidated Carl and then he turned his attentions to young Isaac.
Everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight right here.
Arthur told a sex lie
Laurel and Charles were still playing flirty Mcflirty pants and Arthur was trying to ignore it. He had other things on his mind, mainly John Sugden. Arthur has completely convinced himself John has the hots for him and is trying to get into his pants by fawning over his camper van. That van’s seen a lot of action!
Arthur then made out to April that he and John had sex in the back of the van. She was pretty disgusted – and Laurel overheard everything and she was disgusted too.
Laurel immediately confronted John in front of everyone in the Woolpack (where else?!) and John denied everything. When he called Arthur a kid, Arthur lost it and revealed Laurel’s fling with Charles to the pub. And yes, Jai did hear everything.
A confrontation between Laurel and Jai ensued and he accused her of sleeping with anyone. She has been rather flighty recently – what is with this overly sexual Laurel, she hasn’t always been like that, has she?
Tom made more threats in Emmerdale tonight
The mask is well and truly beginning to slip for Tom King. Thank the Lord.
After an axe in his back a week ago, Tom was up and about and driving Carl to the dentist. Tom was soon showing his scary side as he confronted Carl over the missing tablet. The terrified lad owned up about Isaac having it.
Tom then started manipulating Carl suggesting he could end up in jail for stealing it. He played the hero and said he’d keep the secret and then turned on the charm and offered to buy him a milkshake. Carl was pretty confused – and scared – but how long before he admits Tom’s terribly behaviour to Nicola and Jimmy?
Tom then told Carl he would deal with Isaac when he decides to. If he touches a hair on that child’s head we will not be responsible for our actions, that’s all we’re saying.
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Moira made friends
Moira was still worried about Isaac’s remaining sheep (fortunately we later found out she’s going to be okay). Ruby was on babysitting dutire and they went for a walk in the countryside.
Frustratingly, Moira still can’t remember what happened yesterday and feels totally out of control. Ruby was surprisingly understanding and then revealed it was her mother’s cremation today. These two being friends is fast becoming an Emmerdale highlight.
The soap also seems to have remembered Moira and Vanessa were once great friends as well. We are liking all this female solidarity, long may it continue!
Liam longed for Chas, but Ella’s still there
Ella and Liam are awkwardly getting on with their relationship and Chas was forced to cover for Liam in front of Ella about their afternoon together yesterday. He later apologised in the pub and it was clear they are far more comfortable together and have much more in common than Ella and Liam – compounded by Ella’s arrival and the awkwardness that descended.
How much longer before Ella and Liam ends? It’s clear they only have sex in common, so just get him with Chas and be done with it.
