A new character from Will Taylor’s history enters
Things are about to get very complicated for Will as his ex is set to surprise the village and as viewers know Kim isn’t playing by the rules when it comes to Will so hopefully that will change dramatic on matters.
Laura said: “We have a new character coming into the show called Rose, and she’s kind of mysterious, a bit of a free spirit, loves to party. She’s from Will.
She said: “She’s going to be hitting our screens pretty soon and causing a real storm. She’s going to be played by the amazing Christine Tremarco.”
Dawn and Billy Fletcher’s devastating news
Dawn Fletcher and her husband Billy are about to face one of their worst nightmares as Billy falls ill with a heartbreaking illness.
Laura said: “There’s a big story coming up for Dawn and Billy. We’ve seen these two go through a lot of challenges in their relationship. They finally got married, had a baby Evan and it’s just been so happy for these two to the last few months, and unfortunately, what we’re seeing is that that’s too high.
“Evan is almost out of nowhere diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is one of the most common childhood leukemias with 650 children and young adults diagnosed with it every year in the UK. What we really want to show but with this story, what stress and pressure it can put on a family with a long-term illness like that.
“So what we’re going to see is how Dawn and Billy’s roles are changed almost overnight and out of nowhere. We’ll see how Lucas and Clemmie fare and the stress it puts on the sibling dynamic.”
“We’ll see how this affects Billy and Dawn’s relationship. We’ll see how it affects the wider family and the financial pressure as well.”
Tom King and Belle’s storyline takes a dark turn
Tom King’s controlling behavior towards his wife Belle Dingle is getting worse and Laura has a hint that things are going wrong.
Laura revealed: “We saw how their wedding night ended with Belle in tears and since then we’ve seen how Tom began to manipulate and control her. The storyline has been really carefully researched This is long-term and will continue for the coming months.”
She continued: “I think the real stories that gave us access to what we really learned from them is how quickly these coercive control relationships can change physically.
“That’s what we’ll see happening with these other two. And through our storyline, we’re trying to find new and innovative ways to tell the story, there’s a special episode coming up, where we take a little step away from our usual Emmerdale format and do things a little differently.
“So it’s a dinner party, and we’ll see what happens, what’s going on in their relationships but then, through the kind of special way we did it, what we’ll be able to see is how you see. the truth is not necessarily public.”

Emmerdale fans were recently delighted to see Paddy Kirk and Mandy Dingle reunited and engaged to be married. Laura wouldn’t say much about Mandy and Paddy’s big day but viewers can expect the pair to tie the knot soon.
She said: “Mandy and Paddy – their love story was obviously brilliant watching that on screen and recently we’ve seen them go back to their original Cinderella wedding.
“There will be wedding bells for them in the not-too-distant future. Unfortunately, she couldn’t tease it any further saying: “I can’t tell you more than that because we’re still planning it.”
An old favorite returning?
In recent weeks, we’ve seen cast members discuss the possibility of bringing back some of the fan favorites. First, Lawrence Robb, who plays Mackenzie Boyd, is talking about a possible return of the character Chloe Harris – Mack’s former partner. Mack and Chloe had Reuben’s child together before she fled the village.
The door was left open for Chloe to return to the character of Jessie Elland. As reported by Digital Spy, Lawrence said: “I was gutted when Jessie left – me and Jessie got on well. I still talk to her a lot. It was bittersweet, I think, in a lot of ways because although I really enjoyed working with her while we were on set, I know she is doing very well now.
“I know she’s enjoying what she’s doing now. So although it was sad on one level, I’m also very happy for her. There’s always scope and I think that left They deliberately opened it up to Chloe and Reuben who could be back. But at the moment I don’t know.”
During it, Danny Miller spoke to Emmerdale viewers about Robron’s reunion. Danny, 33, who plays Aaron Dingle, is a favorite with Emmerdale viewers. Many viewers still remember Aaron’s relationship with Robert Sugden – some fans nicknamed the couple ‘Robron’.
The pair tied the knot in 2018. Unfortunately, everything came crashing down in 2019 when Robert attacked rapist Lee Posner – who later died in hospital. Robert was later sentenced to 14 years in prison. He later filed for divorce from Aaron.
Danny Miller has said he would like to work with star actor Ryan Hawley, who played Robert, again. Danny said: “The Robron thing… I mean, for me, as an actor – more than anything financially, I’ll be honest – Ryan would be great coming back as Robert.”
During an appearance on ITV’s Loose Women show, Danny said he is doing his best to get his ex-star back. Danny explained: “I know he’s got a young family of his own, and he’s not out to do other things for himself. Maybe one day we’ll be able to lure him back, but nothing’s going to happen, we’ll say.”
