Emmerdale teen April Windsor is kidnapped next week as new villain Jade turns nasty with Ross Barton again.

The schoolgirl gets caught in the crossfire as Jade uses ruthless tactics to seek answers over some missing money.

Viewers know that Mackenzie Boyd recently stole a bag of cash from the illegal boxing match that Jade had organised between Ross and Billy Fletcher.

Next week, Jade decides that Ross must have been responsible and warns him that he'll face dire consequences unless he returns the missing ?10,000.

Ross tries his best to protest that he didn't take the money, but Jade refuses to listen and directly threatens his family.

Well aware of how dangerous Jade can be, Ross begs Charity Dingle to take their son Moses away for a while to protect him. He's frustrated when Charity refuses to play ball.

However, while Ross is focused on Moses' safety, he fails to realise that Jade is targeting April instead.

April gets frustrated when her father Marlon Dingle refuses to take her into town after school. She's pleased when deceptive Jade steps in to offer her a lift instead.

Later, Jade makes a video call to Ross and reveals that she has kidnapped April.

Ross persuades Billy to lend him his car, determined to go alone even though he still doesn't have any money to hand over to Jade.

As Ross heads off towards the location that Jade has sent to him, he's unsettled to realise that it's somewhere very familiar.

Ross is haunted by the past as he's lured towards the multi-storey car park where April's mum Donna died in 2014.

History threatens to repeat itself as one of Jade's henchmen holds a terrified April over the edge of the car park.

Ross feels powerless as Jade continues to demand money that he doesn't have. Will he be able to save April?

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Thursday, December 5 on ITV1 and ITVX.

Emmerdale's Brenda Walker faces some harsh home truths over her engagement next week.

Brenda is left distraught when she discovers that her fianc? Eric Pollard may already be regretting his decision to set a date for their wedding.

Upcoming episodes see Eric keep secrets from Brenda after deciding to transfer his savings into risky cryptocurrency.

Eric believes that his investments are going well, which explains his current spending sprees, but he panics when a reported uplift in the currency isn't reflected in his online account.

Brenda is oblivious to her other half's stress until she tries to pay for her wedding dress and finds there's no money in her account.

Desperate to cover his tracks, Eric makes excuses to Brenda by pretending that a temporary tech problem is to blame.

With Eric seemingly refusing to face reality, it's left to Liam Cavanagh to step in.

The local doctor finds Eric preparing to use the shop's cash to put a bet on a horse. Liam points out that it's not a good idea and blocks his exit from the shop.

Later, Eric faces Brenda's fury as she finally knows the truth about what he's been hiding from her.

The mood only gets worse when Brenda openly questions Eric on whether his marriage proposal was genuine.

As it becomes abundantly clear that Eric's medication may have influenced his spontaneous decision, Brenda is livid and their relationship seems to be on the rocks.

Following recent reports that Brenda will be exiting the ITV soap, could this be why she leaves the Dales?

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Tuesday, December 3 on ITV1 and ITVX.

Monday

The countdown continues to Eric Pollard (played by Chris Chittell) and Brenda Walker's (Lesley Dunlop) Christmas wedding

However, Brenda remains unaware of how fiance Eric is suddenly so flash with the cash...

After all, during their engagement party, Brenda was excited when Eric revealed they will be sailing off on a luxury cruise for their honeymoon!

Only family friend, Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi), know the truth about WHAT Eric has been up to...

Village doctor Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) is worried when he finds shopkeeper Eric acting strangely.

Eric seems determined to place a large bet on a horse using the shop's cash.

But WHY?

Liam is naturally worried to see Eric so stressed-out, considering his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease.

However, when Liam tries to get to the bottom of what's going on with Eric, it leads to a desperate confrontation...

Just when it looks like Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) is starting to reconnect with her estranged daughter, Steph (Georgia Jay), her dad Anthony (Nicholas Day) is back on the scene.

Anthony was sent packing the last time he tried to make amends with daughter Ruby, after they'd been estranged for 30 years!

But now Anthony has dropped the SHOCK news that he has been diagnosed with cancer...

Steph has pledged her support to her granddad.

Given that Ruby didn't get the chance to say a proper goodbye to her terminally-ill mum, Helen, will she take Anthony's cancer diagnosis seriously and start to build bridges with her dad?


Tuesday

There's been no love lost between Mackenzie Boyd (played by Lawrence Robb) and family relative, Ross Barton (Michael Parr), since the village bad boy returned

Ross is not happy that Mackenzie has been playing "daddy" to his son, Moses, during his time away from the village.

Plus, there's the fact that BOTH men have been lovers with Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins)!

Mackenzie continues to stir the pot by lording his closeness with Moses over angry Ross, who has never been Dad Of The Year.

But there's another reason that Mackenzie feels like he's got one-up on Ross.

And it has everything to do with ?10,000 of STOLEN cash!

Ross is alarmed to discover the money has gone missing.

Especially when ruthless boxing promoter, Jade (Twinnie-Lee Moore), threatens there will be BIG trouble if the money is not found...

While Mackenzie sits on his secret, will Ross start to suspect that the money thief is SOMEONE close to home?

Things have gone terribly WRONG for Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell).

The village shopkeeper is not as flash with the cash as he first thought.

And now he's going to have to come clean to his unsuspecting fiancee, Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop), who is expecting a dream Christmas wedding and a luxury cruise honeymoon!

Uh-oh...

Eric attempts to make things right with Brenda.

But he's left reeling when she questions whether his original marriage proposal was even genuine.

Does he even really want to get married?

Pollard is left heartbroken over the TURMOIL he has caused.

Maybe the troubled couple should forget about sending out their wedding invites for the moment...


Wednesday

Is it possible that the Fox-Miligan family could finally be happily reunited in time for Christmas

Despite being estranged from both her daughter, Steph (Georgia Jay), and her dad, Anthony (Nicholas Day), for years, Ruby Fox-Miligan (played by Beth Cordingly) is alarmed by the news that Anthony has been diagnosed with cancer...

While Steph is being totally supportive to her granddad, Ruby is struggling to put the past behind her and truly let Anthony back into her life.

Steph tries to play peacekeeper and convinces her dad, Caleb (William Ash), that it's time for Ruby and Anthony to clear the air after all these years.

The family gather at Mill Cottage for a sit-down.

On the surface it looks like they are a happy, united family again.

But is Ruby secretly still seething over how Anthony and his late wife Helen treated her in the past?

Accusations fly over WHO stole ?10,000 from boxing promoter, Jade (Twinnie Lee-Moore).

John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) covers for GUILTY Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), who is secretly pleased to have done the dirty on rival Ross Barton (Michael Parr).

However, the clock is ticking and Ross knows he needs to find the money before ruthless Jade and her goons get NASTY again...

Ross starts to fear for the safety of his family and tries to convince his ex-lover, Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), to take their son, Moses, away from the village for a while.

But Jade is still lurking about and it seems she may have SOMEONE else in her sight...

WHO could be in DANGER from Jade?


Thursday

Is HORRIBLE history about to repeat itself for Ross Barton

TEN years ago , bad boy Ross became SECRET lovers with copper, Donna Windsor.

Donna tragically plunged to her doom from a multi-storey car park during a struggle with notorious criminal, Gary North!

Donna's now teenage daughter, April (Amelia Flanagan), finds herself in similar peril when she is kidnapped by ruthless boxing promoter, Jade (Twinnie-Lee Moore)...

Ross is alarmed when Jade threatens April's life unless he hands back the ?10,000 cash, she believes he has stolen from her!

Trouble is, Ross does not have the money.

Ross is horrified when he arrives at the very same place where he witnessed Donna die a decade ago...

As Jade continues to demand her money back, can Ross talk his way out of trouble before something TERRIBLE happens to terrified April?

It doesn't look like Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) is ready to forgive and forget over the past.

Ruby's estranged dad, Anthony (Nicholas Day), has just revealed the news that he has been diagnosed with cancer.

But Ruby does not want to play happy families after the way her parents turned their backs on her when she first got involved with husband, Caleb Miligan (William Ash).

However, Caleb is worried that the rift with Ruby could end up driving both Anthony and the couple's daughter, Steph (Georgia Jay), away again.

Can Ruby be convinced to try and make things work with her dad, in order to keep Steph in their lives?


Friday

Cain Dingle (played by Jeff Hordley) is a GUILTY man

While his wife, Moira (Natalie J Robb), was recently having life-saving brain surgery in hospital, Cain unexpectedly HOOKED-UP with his brother Caleb Miligan's (William Ash) wife, Ruby (Beth Cordingly)!

Cain and Ruby argued at the village garage... and then got physical!

Seeing as Cain is currently in a good place with Caleb, and things are good with his marriage to Moira, this situation is a ticking time bomb...

Plus, there's the fact that Moira and Ruby have previously had several bust-ups and there's not a lot of love lost between the women!

While Cain continues to struggle with his guilty conscience, will recovering Moira start to sense there's something troubling on his mind?

In the aftermath of April Windsor's (Amelia Flanagan) life-threatening kidnapping by ruthless boxing promoter, Jade (Twinnie-Lee Moore), Ross Barton (Michael Parr) must face the consequences of his actions...

April's dad, Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock), feels wretched.

Emmerdale's Tom King turns his attentions to manipulating his young cousin Angelica next week.

Tom tries to seek help from Angelica after losing the support of his uncle Jimmy and ex-girlfriend Amelia Spencer, who were his only allies left.

This week's episodes saw Tom get charged with coercive controlling behaviour and assault after the police found damning new evidence on his tablet computer.

Tom then made matters worse for himself with a failed attempt to escape justice by fleeing the country, so he's now being held on remand as punishment for breaching his bail conditions.

Next week, misguided Angelica feels sorry for Tom and tries to contact him in prison.

Tom seizes on this opportunity by immediately flattering Angelica, who's soon taken in by his false claims that his estranged wife Belle is to blame for everything.

Emmerdale viewers know that Angelica has faced a tough time since being released from the Secure Children's Home, where she served a sentence for the car crash that caused Heath Hope's death.

With Angelica feeling like she doesn't truly belong in the village, she's now vulnerable to Tom's manipulation techniques.

When Tom later appears in court for his first hearing, he pleads not guilty ? meaning that the case will have to go to trial.

Afterwards, Tom phones Angelica from prison and begs her to get her father Jimmy back on his side.

Later in December, the story continues as Tom writes a letter to the King family and Angelica begs Jimmy to read it.

Jimmy reluctantly sees what Tom has to say, but quickly realises that the letter is a blatant attempt to trick his family again. He screws up the note, much to Angelica's dismay.

When Angelica continues to push the issue, Jimmy agrees to visit Tom in prison.

Tom puts on the performance of a lifetime by crying fake tears in front of Jimmy. However, Jimmy warns that he'll only give Tom his support if he does the right thing by changing his plea to guilty.

As Tom stubbornly refuses and continues to blame Belle for everything, Jimmy realises that he'll never change and walks away.

Despite this latest rejection from Jimmy, Tom realises that Angelica could still prove useful to him and he asks his solicitor Ollie to give her a task.

Angelica obediently complies, posting a video online which she hopes will help Tom ahead of the trial.

Could this help to tip the balance in Tom's favour?
