I reckon something really bad is going to happen with Tess, Paddy and Rhona soon.
I've put this post in the spoilers thread for 15-19 Feb because if I'm right then this might not to spoil any surprise for soap viewers who only know the usual spoilers for now up to the thread for the current week of 8-12 Feb.
The usual spoilers for week 8-12 Feb don't include various details for 11-12 Feb though.
Be warned that what follows as my spoilers speculative interpretation may very well be a huge surprise and a shock to everyone reading this.
The usual spoilers for 11-12 Feb have been given already by STV/ITV/DS. STV are good ones this time:
Scottish TV video preview episode spoilers:
Thu 11 Feb 2016 at 7pm
- Paddy is feeling under pressure as Tess steps up her campaign to win him back.
- Despite his warnings to stop calling him, he’s thrown when she turns up on his doorstep, saying she wants him to leave Rhona to be with her.
- Burned from Paddy’s rejection, Tess pulls over into a layby in tears – and dials Rhona’s number, who agrees to meet with her, much to Paddy’s horror...
Thu 11 Feb 2016 at 8pm
- Paddy tries his hardest to stop Rhona from going to see Tess.
- He tells her that Tess tried it on with Marlon, but Rhona is determined – so Paddy gets in the car, dreading what’s about to happen...

- (No details for Tess, Paddy or Rhona given for this episode.)

Radio Times says that Pierce Harris [Tess's husband, played by Jonathan Wrather] is in the cast list for week 8-12 Feb and week 15-19 Feb. Tess is only in the cast list for week 8-12 Feb, not the week after.
A recent press conference (where new actor Jonathan Wrather is said to have been present at) described how a new \"villainous new character\" was going to be introduced into Emmerdale. I'm guessing that this is Pierce and that he will cause trouble later in Emmerdale. I expect Pierce to show up on Fri 12 Feb if not the day before.
Spoilers say that Rhona doesn't realise until Thur 18 Feb that Paddy is the man who Tess was having an affair with. TV Choice has two separate spoilers for 18 Feb.
TV Choice spoilers for Thu 18 Feb
- Suspicious about Paddy's behaviour, Rhona searches through his phone and before long the penny drops that he's Tess' married lover!
- Having mulled over why Paddy failed to mention going to Tess's funeral, Rhona decides to check his phone for clues...leading to a shocking realisation. Will her faithless husband come clean?
TW:
So what seems to happen?
I think that on Thu 11 Feb (8pm episode), Rhona and Paddy drive to where Tess agreed to meet Rhona. When they get there, Tess is dead (committed suicide) and they call the police. Tess's husband as next of kin is notified by police later.
The following week, Paddy goes to Tess's funeral by himself but Rhona finds out anyway, checks his phone on 18 Feb and realises Paddy was Tess's lover.
But only time will tell if this really happens.
