Dream plots for Emmerdale in 2025: Justice for Ruby, a Cain exit and more DS Foy
We’ve got a long list of what we want to see next year!
It’s a new year in Emmerdale and with the end of this year’s biggest storyline – Belle’s abusive marriage to Tom King – it feels like there’s a vacancy for some new plots.
So we sat down and had a think about what we want to see happening in the village in this coming year.
And here’s what we came up with for Emmerdale in 2025.
The return of the Tates
When Tina first came back (where is she, by the way? Is that all done and dusted now?) there were rumours online that Vinny could turn out to be Frank Tate’s son.
We’re old enough to remember how disgusted Tina was when Frank made his feelings for her obvious. But putting that aside for a minute, we are here for this theory.
We’d love Vinny to be both Dingle and Tate, and it would pave the way for Vinny and Gabby to be the new lord and lady of Home Farm.
Plus it would mean the whole drama over Tina’s return wasn’t totally pointless after all.
And if it’s Tates we’re talking, then why not go the whole hog? We want more of them. Bring back Joe! Jamie! Jean! Any other long-lost family members we might have forgotten.
Emmerdale in 2025: Romance for Ross and Dawn
Dawn and Billy bore us stupid. Dawn is whiny, Billy’s self-centred and frankly they’re not doing it for us. But Ross and Dawn, on the other hand… There is still a spark between these former lovers and we think a bit of flirtation could be just the thing to bring the old Dawn back.
DS Foy
We’re not letting this one drop. We love DS Foy. We love him. And we think he absolutely belongs in the village. AND we’ve got an idea of what he could do once he’s moved in…
Leyla to stay (and give her a romance?)
We are not big fans of the rumours that Leyla is being killed off. There’s definitely a place for her cutting comments and swishy hair in the village. But we totally agree that she’s not been used properly of late. So, we had an idea. Who’s the ideal romantic partner for lovely Leyla? DS blooming Foy, that’s who!
Emmerdale in 2025: Justice for Ruby
Ruby’s heartbreaking story has only just started, and it’s definitely got us gripped. It’s dark, though – really dark. And we’re desperately hoping that Steph doesn’t turn out to be Anthony’s child because that’s almost too much to handle – for us, as well as Steph and Ruby.
What we do want, though, is for Ruby to get justice. We want Anthony to pay for the hurt he did her, and for her family to rally round (we’re not holding our breath for that one, though – Caleb is supremely selfish and Steph seems to be a chip off the old block). Fingers crossed for retribution in 2025.
A break from Cain
We have long been Cain fans, sticking with him through the bad times (seducing Jasmine, threatening teenage Amy when she was pregnant, the Harriet years…) but we think we might have had enough. His recent behaviour with Moira’s brain tumour, his weird cheating with Ruby and then him moping around, have all pushed us over the edge.
Maybe he could go and hang out with Nate in Shetland for a few months, and come back rested, and a new man. Ooh, and if he wanted to pop into Aberdeen on the way home and bring Debbie back with him, that would be fine too.
A new family or two
It’s always been a bit of a joke that everyone in Emmerdale is related to everyone else, but it really is getting beyond a joke now. We’d love to see a whole new family arrive, like the Tates and the Windsors did back in the 1990s, or the Kings in the noughties.
