I heard this from Digital Spy. I am not sure if this should be placed in the spoiler or rumour mill section but Emily's husband murderer Ernest will return to the Street in the early spring next year after being released from prison. He will become friends with Emily and start helping out at the church and soon Ernest starts a relationship with Eileen but Eileen doesn't know who he exactly is. He soon confesses to Emily that he was her husband's murderer and he begs for her forgiveness but will she forgive him?
