Emmerdale is continuing to deliver drama this week, as residents grapple with the revelations from the recent flashback episodes.
As a long-time viewer, I’m really invested in Paddy Dingle’s storyline – he’s holding onto hope that his dad, Bear Wolf, might still be out there somewhere. And wow, Ruby Miligan just got some devastating news – it looks like Anya Berisha might be gone, and she’s completely reeling from it. It’s a tough time for those characters right now!
Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) is dealing with a new problem: Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough), who everyone believed was dead, is actually alive and has been reaching out to her.
He doesn’t keep his arrival a secret for long, unexpectedly showing up at Home Farm and shocking Kim and Joe Tate.
Arthur Thomas is keeping a huge secret from his mother, Laurel, following Ray Walters’s death.
Here’s a look at everything happening in Emmerdale between Monday 26th and Friday 30th January.
4 Emmerdale spoilers for next week
1. Paddy Dingle hopes for an update on Bear

The villagers are still shocked by what Celia and Ray did, and Ruby is devastated to think Anya might be gone.
Rhona is encouraging people to leave the past behind, but Paddy is still really struggling. He finally talks to Detective Sergeant Walsh, hoping she has news about Bear.
So, this woman just lets slip to someone that the cops want to talk to Celia about Bear being murdered. Poor Paddy hangs back, waiting for her to walk away before excitedly telling Dylan the news. Honestly, the tension was killing me!

2. Victoria Sugden is troubled by her John murder secret

Vic is incredibly anxious, fearing her big secret will be revealed. As fans will remember, she killed her brother, John, during the dramatic Coronation Street crossover, and Joe secretly filmed the whole thing.
I’m absolutely horrified to learn that someone has been blackmailing Vic and Robert, trying to force them to give up their ownership in Butler’s Farm. It’s just awful that anyone would resort to such tactics!

Robert attempts to reassure her that she made the correct decision, but she’s deeply troubled by the fact that she took a life and fears she’ll never be able to move past it.
3. Arthur Thomas hides Ray Walters’s drugs earnings

After learning more about the events surrounding Ray’s death – specifically seeing Arthur steal from his car – Laurel feels she’s finally making progress in her relationship with her son.
He’s glad she hasn’t noticed the large sum of money he’s hiding, and swiftly tucks it into the pocket of his hoodie.
It quickly becomes obvious that he’s unexpectedly come into money, as April notices his sudden wealth. But when she reveals the truth about how he earned it – through drug dealing – he feels deeply guilty, realizing he’s benefiting from the hardship of her family.

Afterward, standing outside Smithy Cottage by himself, he realized he couldn’t bring himself to give some of the money back to its owners.
4. The Tates receive a blast from the past as Graham Foster returns from the dead

The most shocking reveal in Corriedale was undoubtedly that Graham Foster, who everyone believed was dead and had even been cremated, was actually still alive.
Rhona was completely shocked to find her ex-boyfriend at the surgery, and she’s annoyed he’s been ignoring her efforts to reconnect. Their awkward reunion is interrupted by Joe, who has to leave suddenly, and Rhona is left speechless when he mentions spotting Graham around town.
Graham listens in, rattled to hear how close Joe now is with Kim.

When Joe kindly offers to buy Kim a new horse after Ice passes away, she declines, explaining that nothing can replace a lost loved one. Of course, she doesn’t realize what’s about to happen!
No sooner had she finished speaking than Graham stepped out of the darkness, immediately proving her incorrect. Kim and Joe were stunned, struggling to believe what they were witnessing.
