Coming up next week on Emmerdale, Robbie Lawson (Jamie Shelton) decides to try to earn some brownie points with his boss Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) after Cain Dingle fixes his girlfriend Moira’s car for free, much to Debbie’s annoyance…

And he does so by stealing money from Moira (Natalie J Robb) which, when Cain (Jeff Hordley) finds out, could well earn him a beating!

However, he’s set to discover that Debbie – though currently being nothing but ruthless where business is concerned – isn’t impressed, and angrily tells him that she’ll make decisions about matters such as unpaid bills, while pointing out that what happens between herself and her dad is none of Robbie’s business.

We have a clip of that drama for you after the jump, as well as another preview of Bob Hope’s fury when he sees Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop) and his mate Dan Spencer together… Read more & comment »

Coming up on next week’s Emmerdale, Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop) is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that she has a potentially deadly brain tumour…

Recidivist Emmerdale groom Bob Hope is seemingly always on the lookout for the next Mrs Hope – or the next ex-Mrs Hope, given his track record with women – and in getting his café sidekick Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop) to organise a Brontë night, he’s at it again, hoping to find a new lady love…

However, so is his mate Dan Spencer (Liam Fox) given that his marriage to Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) was well over, even before it began.

So when the night of the event rolls around, Bob realizes that he has to do something radical to eliminate Dan as competition in the romance stakes, so he comes up with the plan to tell unsuspecting Dan that the night is fancy dress.

When then Dan turns up in full costume, Bob expects his mate to be a laughing stock, but his plan backfires when in fact, the ladies present are super impressed by Dan’s efforts… Read more & comment »

In upcoming episodes of Emmerdale, imprisoned Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) is going to be getting a couple of visitors that she might have preferred not to see…

Those visitors will be Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) and Chas’s new husband Dan Spencer (Liam Fox) who, though they visit on separate occasions, both want the same thing; answers to their questions about what Chas has done.

Chas is of course being held on remand awaiting trial for the murder of Carl King, even though we viewers know that in actuality, it was Chas’s lover Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) who wielded the fatal blow…

And despite Cameron’s vow to stand by Chas and do whatever it takes to get her freed, he evidently has no intention of confessing, or he’d have done so by now! Read more & comment »

Emmerdale star Liam Fox, who of course plays soppy new groom Dan Spencer, has told Soaplife that even though Dan now knows that his bride Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) cheated on him with Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) he’s still in love with Chas and wants to help her get out of prison.

As we saw in last night’s show, Chas was formally charged with the murder of Carl King (Tom Lister) but of course, though Chas believes she killed Carl, it was actually Cameron who wielded the fatal blow.

After revealing that Dan feels “hurt, angry and betrayed by Chas”, he just can’t bring himself to believe that she’s a murderer.

Liam said, “No matter what has happened, he can’t believe that, no.”

He added, “Whatever she may have done, she’s still his wife and as much as it seems like a crazy thing to do, he still wants to help her out… Read more & comment »

As fans of Emmerdale may know, when the show airs its live episode in October, we’re to see the double wedding of Katie Sugden and Declan Macey as well as Chas Dingle and Dan Spencer’s nuptials…

But of course, for Chas Dingle, there’s the spectre of Carl King’s (Tom Lister) threat to expose her affair with Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) hanging over her veil, so for her, the day may not have the fairytale quality it’ll have for fellow bride-to-be, Katie!
