What happened in Emmerdale tonight: More insults between Kim and Will before he got jiggy with Kerry, plus Tom resorted to blackmail

Emmerdale tonight saw more back and forth between Will and Kim who really need to stop with the insults. Meanwhile, Laurel was also throwing nasty comments about, directed at Nicola, and Tom was trying to charm terrified Carl.

Here’s all that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday October 8.

Kim and Will want each other back – but didn’t show it

The Kim/Will divorce saga rumbled on (almost as long as the blackmail plot did). Will woke up hungover and not impressed to see Peter in his dressing gown having stayed over the night with Kim. More spatting and sparring and insults ensued.

Peter was later wearing Will’s shirt and again Will and Kim threw abuse back and forth. And then Will punched Peter. But Will insisted he wasn’t jealous. Kim told him to leave her house (again) and he refused (again).

Kim later confided in Lydia that messing with Will doesn’t feel as good as she hoped. Lydia spelt out the obvious: they both still care about each other. She advised Kim to stop being stubborn, but would Kim listen?

Meanwhile, Will was necking hair of the dog at the Woolpack, where Kerry found him drowning his sorrows. She offered to be his listening ear and he recounted everything including the cheating and the blackmail and what happened with the grave. Kerry responded by telling him it was the most impressive thing she’d ever heard in her life. But Will confessed he still loved Kim.

With Kim at home dolling herself up and dumping Peter, it looked like there was finally going to be end to this, but alas, Will showed up with Kerry, drunk as skunks. They then headed to the bedroom and it all went to pot again. Sigh.

Laurel insulted Nicola in Emmerdale tonight

Arthur went to see Nicola and confided in her about his troubles. In fact, he confessed, he isn’t experienced at all, he’s never been with anyone and is feeling jealous of all the other 17 year olds going on Love Island. Nicola advised him to talk to Laurel about how he was feeling.

Arthur and Nicola then went to chat to Laurel together, but obviously Laurel wasn’t best pleased to hear Nicola’s advice over how to deal with her son.

She threw a nasty insult about how Nicola was a bad parent because Angelica is locked up. The friends then proceeded to trade more insults, and it felt like we were at Home Farm with Kim and Will all over again.

They did make up, and Laurel softened towards her son, but can she help him?

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Billy was brooding

Evan’s coming home for three weeks, but Billy was nervous. Things got worse when he found out the car had failed its MOT and would cost more than it was worth to fix it.

Billy took his anger out on a punchbag, but suspicious Mack arrived to question him over what he was up to. Billy covered, but it’s clear Mack wasn’t convinced, will he get to the bottom of what’s going on?

Tom blackmailed Carl

Carl was clearly terrified of Tom and no one noticed or wanted to listen to what he had to say. Instead Nicola sent him off to pair socks.

Carl later admitted to Tom he had scared him and Tom apologised. He even bought Carl a massive toy car as a present and blackmailed him into keeping quiet about the tablet. So this is going to be dragged out even longer, then. Hopefully Carl will get bored of the car quickly and reveal all.
