Emmerdale Spoilers 2024

[Perdita]

Thanks, @Perdita, this sounds really exciting, with two of my favorite characters. I sometimes wonder whether Ruby gets away with as much as she does because of her incredible beauty, and if that is marred in any way, if she is badly burned and scarred, will they see her differently and will she see herself differently, making her rethink some of what she does?

Even if somebody gets burnt badly, they will be back to their glamorous former self within a few months.. this is soapland where scars do not stay visible for too long

Ha! So true. On my American soaps, I've seen a disfigured face cured by an overseas doctor conducting illegal experiments on patients, scars from open heart surgery just disappearing. Anything is possible in soap world.

Emmerdale boss Iain MacLeod has revealed the soap's Christmas 2024 storylines.

While speaking backstage at the National Television Awards on Wednesday (September 11), the executive producer teased that this could be one of the most "exciting" Christmases in the soap's history.

"This Christmas, there is a huge surprise arrival on Christmas Day," he said.

"As well as some life or death jeopardy on Christmas Day ? but obviously there will be festive brilliance as we do every year ? but I think it is one of the most exciting Christmases that I can remember on Emmerdale this year!"

MacLeod went on to confirm that filming on the festive episodes are set to begin soon, and teased that lots more "drama" is expected to continue into the new year.

"Christmas in soap is a difficult one as you want it to be dramatic and exciting but you also want it to have that humorous, warmth and festive soapy flavour and I think the balance is bang on here," he explained.

"But into 2025, what we have planned so far is the usual degree of spectacle and drama and heightened kind of filming stuff. We also have incredibly heartbreaking family drama with plenty of Dingle action.

"There is also some classic gothic antics at Home Farm ? some skullduggery! It is going to be a really exciting 2025 with lots more to come."

Emmerdale took home the Serial Drama prize at this year's NTAs, regaining its crown after being beaten by EastEnders last year. The ITV soap previously won the award every year between 2017 and 2020, and also in 2022.

Ahead of its festive episodes, Emmerdale fans have lots of drama to sink their teeth into. Earlier this week, the soap aired an explosive cliffhanger following a violent showdown in the barn between Moira Dingle and Ruby Fox-Miligan.

After the explosion, Moira had a seizure and underwent a scan at the hospital. She later received the sad news that doctors had discovered a mass on her brain.

Emmerdale has since confirmed a brain tumour storyline for Moira, with the character set to be diagnosed with a non-cancerous meningioma during tonight's (September 13) episode.

Emmerdale has confirmed it will conclude Belle Dingle and Tom King's coercive control storyline with a special episode.

Throughout this year, viewers have watched Belle desperately trying to escape from her cruel husband's emotional and physical abuse.

Belle has recently taken a break from the village to seek mental health treatment at the same time as more of the Emmerdale villagers suspect Tom may be lying about his innocence.

The soap has now confirmed that a one-hour episode airing this December will wrap up the storyline, following Belle's decision to report Tom to the police.

Shaw promised fans that Belle would get "some sort of closure" in this gripping hour since the "Emmerdale audience always look forward to our villains getting their comeuppance".

"We don't want to spoil the outcome of this story and reveal what will happen to Tom, but needless to say, Belle's going to be in a much better place by this Christmas," Shaw said.

Emmerdale has confirmed three big guest stars who will be involved in the conclusion of Tom and Belle King's abuse storyline.

The ITV soap recently confirmed that it will conclude their dark storyline with a special episode next month, following Belle's decision to report Tom to the police for emotional and physical abuse.

According to Metro, Loose Women panellist Denise Welch, Casualty's Charles Dale and Coronation Street's Jack Ellis will all guest star in the episode.

Welch is reportedly taking on the role of a jury member, while Ellis and Dale's characters are currently undisclosed.

This will add to Welch's already-long list of soap acting credits, with the star having previously had roles in Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, EastEnders, Hollyoaks and Holby City.

Dale is known for his role as Big Mac on Casualty, while Ellis played Harry Mason on Corrie in 2007 and 2008.

Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw previously confirmed that the soap will break from its usual format in the special episode by sharing the real stories of domestic abuse victims and survivors.

"When we first embarked on this journey we knew we wanted to show domestic abuse, coercive control and manipulation in all its guises," she said.

"The privilege we have on a drama such as Emmerdale is being able to show the reality of a situation like Belle's over a longer period of time to authentically reflect what so many people go through in real life on a daily basis."

She also promised fans that Belle would get "some sort of closure" since the "Emmerdale audience always look forward to our villains getting their comeuppance".

I hope so... might be what they mean by Belle getting some sort of closure... he will be in jail and no longer able to torment her giving her a chance to move on with her life without him...

Emmerdale hints at a possible Christmas wedding for Brenda Walker and Eric Pollard next week.

The ITV soap suggests that a festive ceremony could be on the cards as Eric aims to show Brenda how committed he is to their relationship.

The happy couple are spending time at The Woolpack together when Eric shares his plans for them to tie the knot at Christmas.

Brenda is shocked but impressed by Eric's idea, which comes completely out of the blue.

The following day, it's full steam ahead as Eric presents Brenda with an engagement ring.

He explains that he bought the piece of jewellery at an auction as Brenda seems delighted with his choice. But will Eric and Brenda really get their happily-ever-after?

Last week, it was revealed that Lesley Dunlop ? who plays Brenda ? is leaving Emmerdale after 16 years on the show.

Reports have suggested that the character of Brenda is being written out as part of efforts to slightly reduce cast numbers on the ITV soap.

So far, Emmerdale bosses haven't commented on the revelations as the show has an established policy of not discussing cast contracts.

The news creates some uncertainty over whether the wedding will go ahead or whether the couple are heading for trouble before the planned ceremony.

News of a possible wedding is among the first teasers we've had over December on Emmerdale this year.

Speaking to press at the National Television Awards in September, Emmerdale's executive producer Iain MacLeod commented: "This Christmas, there is a huge surprise arrival on Christmas Day.

"As well as some life or death jeopardy on Christmas Day ? but obviously there will be festive brilliance as we do every year ? but I think it is one of the most exciting Christmases that I can remember on Emmerdale this year."

He added: "Christmas in soap is a difficult one as you want it to be dramatic and exciting but you also want it to have that humorous, warmth and festive soapy flavour and I think the balance is bang on here.

"But into 2025, what we have planned so far is the usual degree of spectacle and drama and heightened kind of filming stuff. We also have incredibly heartbreaking family drama with plenty of Dingle action.

"There is also some classic gothic antics at Home Farm ? some skullduggery! It is going to be a really exciting 2025 with lots more to come."
