Emmerdale Spoilers 4th - 8th January 2016

I actually think Charity and Ross would make a pretty good match They are both schemers, it'd work.

Charity is too old and she is a gold digging slapper she only goes for rich men these days. Jai and Declan are rich. I wonder which sore loser will be paired with Charity next?

Emmerdale's Victoria Sugden finds herself in an impossible position tonight (January 8) as her husband Adam Barton continues to desperately cling onto baby Johnny.

As the couple hide out in a B&B alongside Johnny, Adam (Adam Thomas) is making grand plans for the future - unable to accept the devastating bombshell that he isn't the youngster's father.

At first Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) plays along with Adam's delusions, but in reality she knows that it's only a matter of time before Johnny's worried mum Vanessa Woodfield loses her patience.

In the end, Victoria tries to get through to Adam before it's too late - but will he be prepared to listen?


Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV.

Yes, there was a brief sentence spoiler I read somewhere earlier this week (in the new soap mags?) about Adam leaving with Johnny (for around Friday's episode?) but I didn't get the time to post it here. I was going to suggest it meant abduction/kidnapping though.

This storyline was kept very secret. Adam Thomas gave an interview to Inside Soap last week and said "However, once the news sinks in [he isn't Johnny's dad], he does something very silly..." (Inside Soap, 28 January 2016).

I did think last night when watching the episode that normally sensible Victoria was going to phone Vanessa to say Adam's car had broken down and they had to stay overnight in a B&B with the baby. But Victoria blew everything wide open instead for the big drama and told Vanessa by phone that "Adam just...he needs some time". I did suggest a while back that Paddy should check everyone in the village for BSE though. Busy Paddy obviously hasn't but has been otherwise engaged with more pressing matters...like ? haha!

Last night's scenes at the roadside B&B were totally unbelievable for me really. An Internet check I did today said Adam is now 23yo with Vic being 21yo. Emmerdale has just not made any real sense to me as a TV viewer for at least the last 4 months or more about how its regular characters have been treated.

I am amazed at how Vanessa (qualified 'medical' professional) thought it was standard or ok to take a wet DNA swab and stick it straight in a envelope and not a sealed tube?

DNA all over the inside of envelope, not much left to test!!

I thought Vanessa is breast feeding ... would Adam and Victoria have thought to buy bottles, steriliser kit, baby food???

Devastated by the news that he’s not Johnny’s father, Adam has taken the baby… Not to hurt him. Adam could never do that, he loves the boy. That’s the problem. The thought of not having Johnny in his life is breaking Adam’s heart and he can’t bear to be separated from him. While Vanessa worries about what Adam will do, Victoria tries to talk sense into him. But Adam’s too emotional to think straight. All he can think about is hanging on to Johnny…

Where has Adam taken Johnny?

This was the spoiler I was thinking about before for Adam taking Johnny, it was online at What's on TV from early Tuesday morning. It was the only spoiler source to carry this story before Thursday's episode but I didn't have time to post it on soapboards.
