I remember reading in more than one place where the scenes were expected to be seen early to mid August. I guess the spoilers for the first week in August will be telling, especially if they are vague.
Here in NZ we are catching up to the UK rather quickly, as we see 9 episodes a week. We're currently sitting 6.5 weeks behind, and should be seeing the early August episodes in early September. It's the closest we've ever been, and in previous years when there's been a big summer or October storyline, we've had to wait months to see it. As far as I am aware the TV channel that screens Emmerdale is hoping to catch up to the point where we are a week or so behind. When that happens, being able to participate in spoiler discussions here will be so much easier because we won't be so far behind the plot!
