What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Billy got cold feet and Ross Barton made quite the return
Ross is back where he belongs!
In Emmerdale tonight (Monday, October 28), Billy realised the danger he was in and felt guilty for lying to his family…
Elsewhere, Nicola realised Carl’s bad mood was related to Tom. Her cogs were turning…
We also heard an interesting conversation about Ryan’s celebrity crushes… The Little Mermaid cartoon AND live-action, apparently.
Here’s what else happened in Emmerdale tonight.
Billy got cold feet in Emmerdale tonight
The episode started with a guilty Billy trying to hide his aches and pains…
Dawn was suspicious but buried her thoughts after Billy gave a smile and a few good excuses. Later on, Aaron encouraged Mack to put a stop to Billy’s fighting before it’s too late. While Mack had – as usual – made a few sharp jokes, he tried to talk Billy down.
It didn’t work…
Later, he met with unrelenting Jade to try and get more information. When she wouldn’t give in, Billy tried to back out of the fight.
However, he underestimated the people he got involved with. Later on, Mack was aghast to see Billy on Main Street, being escorted to the fight by Jade.
Ross Barton is back!
He tried again to talk Billy down but Billy insisted he had to fight for his own safety. Mack threatened to call Dawn, but he stopped him.
Soon Aaron was convinced by Mack to go with Mack to Billy’s fight and try to help him.
Meanwhile at Butlers Barn, Jade unpacked the dangerous rules of the unlicensed fight and the penny dropped for Billy that Aaron was right about the nature of the event.
Billy realised he made a big mistake, but Mack offered some last minute advice.
Much to his shock, he was faced with Ross Barton… And, we’re so glad he’s back!
Nicola clocks onto Tom
After much worry and observation, Nicola realised Carl was clamming up every time Tom was mentioned or in the room. The suspect headed off with Rodney to accompany him at work.
After some coaxing, Nicola almost got the truth out of Carl, but they were interrupted by Tom. Nicola was left frustrated after Carl refused to say anything. She called Jimmy to try and hash out her ideas, but he was not convinced.
Later on, she dug out a binned remote control car from the bin, and Carl got scared in case Tom would find out. Nicola managed to get some information, but Carl refused to tell the whole truth.
Tom was grilled by Nicola and soon Jimmy was concerned by what he was hearing as Tom tried to cover up his lies.
Nicola threatened Tom with the police… And, we all breathed a huge sigh of relief!
Moira was caught out in Emmerdale tonight
Moira had to face up to her actions tonight.
She tried to strike up conversation with an angry Cain. After he wouldn’t respond, he revealed he had heard her conversation with Ness about ‘living well,’ which revealed she would like to not be resuscitated if the worst happened to her.
Cain was angry and annoyed she did not tell him. And, we don’t blame him!
Moira reasoned with him and said she thought he had too much family stuff on, what with Zak passing away and Belle getting mental health support.
Cain eventually relented. His biggest fear is Moira’s death, and he hugged her to let her know.
Gail’s new hobby
Elsewhere, Gail was frustrated with Ryan after a conversation about celebrity crushes. We reckon she was angry because she holds a vendetta against Lara Croft and Jessica Rabbit. She was very vocal about her jealousy over Carol Vorderman too!
She unravelled her woes to Mary and Bob. They comforted her and suggested she needed something new and exciting in her life. We agree…
She was soon roped into joining the book club. Bob picked this month’s book, and the women were left speechless…
