With secrets exposed and shocking actions taken, Emmerdale serves up the drama next week, as confirmed in my brand new batch of spoiler pictures.

The ITV soap sees Steph Miligan (Georgia Jay) more suspicious than ever about Anthony’s (Nicholas Day) disappearance after a friend of her granddad gets in touch and reveals that he was expecting him to visit.

The business woman is left unnerved by such a thing and, believing Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) and Caleb (William Ash) know more than they’re letting on, she begins to do some digging.

Her investigation turns up a gun and, armed with her theory, she confronts Caleb and Ruby, demanding answers over why the weapon was in the former’s possession.

Caleb claims the gun was for use against Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) after he uncovered his brother’s one night stand with his wife, arguing that it has nothing to do with Anthony.

Will Steph believe him? It seems unlikely, with subsequent scenes seeing her planning on reporting her mum and dad to the police!

Elsewhere, Dylan (Fred Kettle) battles his addiction, with April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) determined to help but, when missing ketamine from the vets is found in his coat pocket, fingers are pointed.

April is crushed over this betrayal but Marlon later confides in Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) that he planted the drugs on Dylan!

Dylan subsequently overdoses, much to the horror of Marlon, who later pays him a visit in the hospital and confesses the truth.

Dylan is adamant that April can’t know what her dad did, determined to spare her any further heartache.

It’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster of a week in the village, that’s for sure!
