The Dingle family continue to suffer in Emmerdale next week as Charity (Emma Atkins) deals with the aftermath of her sexual assault and Cain (Jeff Hordley) receives some bad news about his cancer treatment.
Charity's Secret Struggle
Charity struggles to mask the horror of the sick ordeal Dr Caitlin Todd (Caroline Harker) subjected her to, attempting to convince her loved ones that postnatal depression is to blame. Knowing that telling all will result in the true paternity of Leyla being revealed, Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) is left blaming herself, thinking the surrogacy has caused Charity’s breakdown. Will Charity seek help from her family, or continue to suffer alone?
Cain's Cancer Spread
Cain and Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) are utterly crestfallen when they learn that his cancer has likely spread and there’ll be a wait for any further treatment. Spiralling, they determine to keep their children out of the loop, but when Dingle family secrets start exploding, can they stick together as they face another storm?
Scam Shockwaves
Elsewhere, Archie Breckle (Kai Assi) and Kerry Wyatt’s (Laura Norton) scam that swindled Caleb Miligan (William Ash) continues to cause shockwaves. As Caleb returns to a life of crime, Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) becomes suspicious. Are they about to be busted?
Lewis's Proposal Surprise
Elsewhere, Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) is taken aback by a shock proposal from Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), but even further trouble awaits.
Monday, June 15 – Double Episode
Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) checks in with Charity, who masks her breakdown, claiming it’s a case of postnatal depression. She’s furious to learn that Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) has told Sarah of her condition, and medicates with sleeping pills and wine. Sarah tries her hardest to get through to Charity, but when she refuses to open up, Sarah’s left sobbing, blaming the surrogacy for Charity’s fresh agony.
Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn) is heartened when Cain promises to attend his swearing in ceremony at cadets, but is crestfallen when his dad misses it after accidentally wetting himself and flees to the Woolpack, leaving Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) and Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) to reassure him. Cain admits all to Kyle later, who reassures him. Later, Cain turns to Moira, worried that his health issues are emasculating him, though she comforts him by declaring that facing his fears is showing his strength.
Kerry and Archie team up to scam Caleb again but are interrupted by Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell), leaving Kerry wracked with guilt, but manages to talk him out of calling the police, noting his own dodgy past. Eric relents, but demands Archie wipe his laptop of any evidence.
Concurrently, Caleb is humiliated to have been scammed and vows revenge on the perpetrator. Kerry is later initially nervous when Ruby Milligan (Beth Cordingly) spots Kerry’s fake designer bag, and Caleb later attempts to rope Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) into a dodgy goods scam, run from the depot.
Tuesday, June 16 – Double Episode
At the hospital, Cain and Moira are brought down to Earth with a bump when they’re informed that Cain’s cancer has likely spread beyond his prostate, and that he’ll need further treatment that may make his current side effects permanent. Further defeated to learn that he’ll need to wait months to begin treatment, Cain and Moira determine to not tell their children of the news, but it isn’t long until other secrets are revealed amongst the Dingles.
Caleb continues to push Billy into getting involved in their dodgy goods scam, but presses him to keep their hustle a secret from Jai. Meanwhile, Jai himself is unnerved by the connections being made between Caleb’s scam and Archie and interrogates both he and Kerry over their potential involvement.
Friday, June 19
Vinny’s attempt to surprise Lewis with a spontaneous holiday to Madeira does little but cause Lewis’s anxiety to spike, and he deftly refuses to go, though pushes Vinny to still go alone. With Ross Barton’s (Michael Parr) words ringing in his ears, Lewis decides he will go on holiday with Vinny after all, packs his bags and rushes to catch him at the airport. As he makes for his taxi, he’s distracted by the sound of a van screeching to a halt not far from him.
