Ross, Anthony, Emmerdale

In Emmerdale tonight, Ross continued to get on the wrong side of everybody and discovered that son Moses is scared of him.

Meanwhile, Anthony found out about son-in-law Caleb’s past affair with Tracy and wasn’t best pleased.

Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight (Monday, December 9.)

Caleb’s plan went wrong

Ross was on operation wind up Caleb duty again in tonight’s episode. As Ruby and Caleb sat eating breaking, Ross strolled down stairs and asked about coffee. “Can no wake up without my coffee,” he said.

When Caleb asked why he was there, Ross responded,  “Oh did Steph not tell you about our sleepover?” He then stripped off the dressing after Caleb pointed out that it was his. And let’s be honest, the only one complaining was Caleb…

Later, Ross received a message from Jade wanting her £3,000. Jai told Ross that he and Caleb were going to a meeting and Steph was taking the other staff on a team building trip, the the depot would be empty – and there was £20k in the safe that Ross could help himself to.

Jai met with Caleb and told him that Ross had taken the bait. Caleb then proceeded to tell Marlon and Charity, who equally detest Ross, of his plan, and added that Ross thinks the CCTV is down, but it’s not.

Caleb’s plan was to catch Ross stealing the money, then use the footage to drive him out of the village, but would it be that simple? Well, no, because Ross wasn’t born yesterday.

When Caleb logged into the CCTV, he was greeted with a sign in the depot which read “nice try idiots.” Ross then walked in and said: “As if I was going to fall for a sting like that? Who puts 20 grand in a safe and brags about it.”

To rub salt into Caleb’s wounds, Ross informed him that he had disabled most of the CCTV himself and one of his vans might be missing…

Emmerdale tonight: Moses told his dad to go away

After Moses witnessed Ross’s attack on Mack, Ross decided to go see his son and make amends. However, he was about as welcome as root canal treatment.

Charity and Mack didn’t want Ross there and even Moses told him to “go away.” Ross attempted to apologise to his son, but Moses was visibly scared.

Ross told Moses he would never hurt him, with Mack quipping: “Other than that time you nearly fired a shotgun at him.” Moses then told his dad he was a bully and run off, leaving Ross feeling defeated.

Anthony discovered Caleb’s affair

Ruby’s dad Anthony seemed to spend the episode going from business to business and not doing much at all, but he didn’t manage to find out about Caleb’s affair with Tracy.

In David’s shop, Anthony overheard Tracy on the phone trying to arrange childcare. When Anthony enquired about her stress, she admitted that Frankie’s dad had run off to Shetland leaving her a single mum.

Anthony felt sorry for Tracy, though he was confused when his daughter Ruby came in and was immediately rude to Tracy.

Later, Anthony changed his hang out place of choice to the cafe. And as luck might have it, Tracy was there. After she left, it gave Anthony the opportunity to mention to Brenda that it must be hard being a single mother. Brenda was quick to respond that it was her own fault for playing away with Caleb.

When it became clear that this was new information to Anthony, Brenda quickly regretted opening her mouth. But time travel hasn’t been invented yet, so there’s no getting out of this one. What will Anthony do with this information?

Moira planned a party as Cain felt guilty

Cain continued to do everything in order to avoid spending time with Moira. Moira believed it was because he was being a helpful husband and doing all the jobs so she can rest. But really, Cain is being eaten up by guilt.

When Moira sings Cain’s praises, Matty responded: “He’s putting you first, mum. Not all husbands would do that.” If only they knew…

Later, Caleb and Ruby arrived with flowers and chocolate for Moira. Cain couldn’t get out of there fast enough, and invented a story about needing to go to Dudley for a car.

When Matty returned, Moira was listening to the song Somewhere In My Heart at full volume. After she turned it down, she told Matty: “This song is very special to me and Cain.” She then told Matty that she wanted to surprise Cain with a party to thank him for all his support.

Meanwhile, Cain was shown parked up in his van, with the same song playing on the radio (Cute!). Still feeling guilty, he sent Moira a message to say he would be stuck in Dudley overnight. Will Cain end up admitting the truth?

Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight

Ross revealed to Marlon that April had been kidnapped, thinking that he already knew. Marlon later spoke to April about it, who proceeded to defend Ross – you’re the only one, April!

Brenda put Jimmy in his place and had us giggling when she told him: “Typical Jimmy, washing your hands of a difficult decision.” Because let’s be honest, Jimmy probably has splinters from all those fences he sits on.

Speaking of Jimmy, Angel spoke to him about Tom, telling him Tom was all alone and Jimmy should go see to him.
