Emmerdale is lining up explosive scenes for next week with a slew of dramatic storylines.

Spoilers for next week reveal a new Rose Jackson mystery with both Kim Tate and Will Taylor looking guilty. Meanwhile, a potential exit is teased after 18 years which is sure to cause heartbreak for one family.

Elsewhere on the hit ITV soap, a DNA family twist is sure to rock the village as one resident looks set to be reunited with a long lost half-sibling. Here’s the biggest storylines ahead next week on Emmerdale…

Rose Jackson mystery

In episodes this week, Kim Tate makes a jaw-dropping discovery as she finally discovers Will Taylor’s ex-wife Rose Jackson has been working with Ruby Fox-Milligan to ruin her life. However, it’s not long until PC Swirling arrives at Home Farm following the bombshell as he inquires about the welfare of Rose after finding her handbag…

In spoilers for next week, viewers are still in the dark as to who was responsible and what has happened to Rose with a new mystery teased. The week starts with both Will and Kim looking guilty as they both wonder about the other and continue to snap at each other. It’s not long until Dawn arrives, suggesting they hire a private investigator to find her mum Rose, which leaves the duo guilty with Will at a loss for how to reply.

Later, Kim takes delight in exposing Ruby to Caleb Milligan, revealing exactly what his wife has been up to, and Ruby worries how her husband will react. Ruby is left further baffled when a wordless Caleb takes her to a mysterious depot and gets out – what has he got planned? Meanwhile, following her bombshell to Caleb, Kim comes up with a plan with Will to put Dawn off the scent and to call off her search for Rose, proposing they send a message from Rose’s phone. However, Will is distracted during the plan, as he questions how Kim got Rose’s phone in the first place.

Later, Dawn is broken to receive a message from ‘Rose’ saying she’s not coming back. Meanwhile, there are still trust issues between Will and Kim as the latter confides in Lydia Dingle about her crumbling marriage. Later, Will is close to confessing about his dalliance with Rose but suddenly the goal posts move… where is Rose and what’s happened?

Exit teased after 18 years

In upcoming scenes, Moira Dingle can’t hide her contempt for Samson Dingle. Soap fans will recall that Samson recently lied to the police in order to protect his mate, Josh, but this meant Moira’s son Matty Barton was wrongly put in prison, where he had a terrifying ordeal before he was finally freed.

Next week sees Samson finally finding the bravery to stand up to vile Josh. However, Samson’s parents Sam and Lydia are soon horrified when Samson gets arrested for assault on Josh. Meanwhile, Moira is satisfied as she watches Samson heading to the police station with her husband, Cain Dingle, suspicious whether his wife was involved in his arrest.

Later in the week, over at The Woolpack, Amelia Spencer is anxious for news of Samson’s plea hearing as she worries about the repercussions for her daughter, Esther, of having her biological dad locked up. Later, The Woolpack is silenced when Lydia enters with news from court… could this be an exit for Samson after 18 years?

Victoria Sugden is left stunned next week when she learns about a secret family member. In upcoming scenes, Eric Pollard’s car breaks down and he’s unable to attend an old friend’s funeral. Instead of leaving him stranded, Victoria kindly offers to drive him there. Once at the church, it’s not long until Victoria accidentally puts her foot in it with the bereaved son at his mum’s funeral but she is left further stunned to learn his name is John Sugden.

Later, Eric awkwardly confirms that John could actually be her half brother and her late father Jack Sugden’s son. In a twist of fate, it’s not long before back in the village, Mackenzie Boyd receives a call at the garage about a breakdown nearby and it turns out to be John. Eric and Victoria are surprised to find John in the village and it’s not long until the newcomer is ruffling a few feathers with his appearance in the village. It was revealed earlier this month that Oliver Farnworth has been cast as the brooding and mysterious John Sugden.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
