THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF CHARITY DINGLE TRIGGERS MAJOR PANIC IN EMMERDALE

In tonight’s hour-long Emmerdale, Charity breaks down on Moses’s birthday. Although worried for his wife, Mackenzie gets the wrong idea about what’s happening.

Elsewhere, Archie goes rogue as he manages to scam Caleb out of £5,000.

Read on for five big moments…

1. Charity’s secret trauma boils over

The Dingles gather for another birthday celebration, as Moses turns 11. Charity puts on a brave face following her traumatic ordeal with Dr Todd, wanting her young son to have the special day that he deserves.

Sadly, Charity finds it harder to act as though everything is normal than she’d expected. Her distracted mood casts a shadow over the occasion, especially when she loses control and Moses’s birthday cake gets ruined. Can Charity bring the event back from the brink?

2. Mackenzie gets the wrong idea

Mackenzie notices how much Charity is struggling and carefully considers how best to help. He even seeks advice from Vanessa and Ross, showing just how seriously he’s taking the situation.

Before long, Mackenzie convinces himself that Charity is suffering from postnatal depression. Still feeling unable to reveal the truth about Dr Todd’s crime, will Charity go along with this mistaken assumption?

3. Archie gets up to no good

Archie is loving his dad Jai’s ongoing absence, believing that he can get away with doing whatever he likes. He even tricks Kerry into thinking that all the local children have a day off school.

However, it’s clear that Archie has gone way too far when Kerry realises that he has secretly used Artificial Intelligence to pose as Steph and ask Caleb for £5,000.

Caleb transfers the cash and remains oblivious to how he’s been scammed. Will Kerry ‘fess up on Archie’s behalf, or let the matter lie?

4. Gabby’s new project takes an unexpected turn

Gabby enjoys the buzz of launching her new healthy menu at The Hide, especially when the early feedback online suggests that it’s going to be a huge hit.

However, as Gabby continues to scroll through wellness content, she starts to notice posts that have a much darker tone. This marks the beginning of a big new storyline…

5. Graham tries to reason with Kyle

Graham continues to take an interest in Kyle’s life by asking how he’s getting along in the Army Cadets. He also hands over a watch as a gift.

There’s a catch, though – as Graham still thinks that Kyle should be more honest with Cain about the troubles he’s facing. Will Kyle ever come clean about the recent fires?
