All Emmerdale spoilers for next week as Joe gets closer to a devastating truth

The perfect life Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) seems to have built for himself looks to come under threat next week in Emmerdale.

As a renewed beef with Caleb Miligan (William Ash) seems to heat up, his relationship with Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) is also in jeopardy, as she battles her residual feelings for her ex, Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle). Is Joe’s world about to crumble?

Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) is on a mission to bond with his son, Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches), but the re-emergence of old friend Steve (Jason Done) looks set to derail everything he’s worked so hard to fix. With another enemy even closer to home, does Kev have a hope in hell of fixing things with Lewis?

Gabby Thomas’ (Rosie Bentham) dangerous obsession with food begins to affect her health, when she collapses at work. When she’s whisked to an appointment with Manpreet Sharmer (Rebecca Sarker), will she finally receive the help she so desperately needs?

Elsewhere Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) continues to struggle and Serena Sugden (Casey Al-Shaqsy) ventures back into the belly of the beast.

With no more World Cup nonsense mucking up the schedule, let’s get back to a proper set of spoilers, shall we?!

Monday, July 27

Kev is on pins as Steve comments on how easy the village would be to plunder and posits that they rob Home Farm. Kev makes it clear that he’s here to connect with Lewis, and that Steve better behave.

After suffering a dizzy spell, Gabby collapses in the kitchen and is found unconscious by Dawn. At the surgery, after a pregnancy test, Dawn’s relieved to find out Gabby isn’t pregnant by Billy, but is shaken to learn Gabby has come off her contraceptive pill and tells Billy. As Gabby unleashes her fury, Joe’s rattled, wondering if Dawn does still have feelings for Billy.

Meanwhile, Caleb is affronted when Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) refuses to supply him with contacts for his dodgy car part scheme, while Moira is downcast when she realises that despite Cain fixing his relationship with Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn), their own relationship is in tatters.

Tuesday, July 28

Joe, still pondering where Dawn’s heart lies, tries to fix his relationship with Noah Dingle (Jack Downham), but he’s sabotaged by Caleb.

When Joe heads to confront Caleb at the depot, Caleb is forced to cow down, wanting Joe well away from his dodgy scheme. This doesn’t go unnoticed by Joe, who orders Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) to dig for the dirt on Caleb.

Elsewhere, as Kev pours his all into making Lewis’ birthday a special one, he, Claudette and Charles Anderson (Flo Wilson and Kevin Mathurin) fail to notice that Steve is preparing to commit a robbery.

Wednesday, July 29

When Dawn finds a detention slip in Lucas’ (Noah Ryan Aspinall) pocket, tensions flare between her and Billy. As they struggle to find even footing, Billy leans in for a kiss. Though Dawn pulls away, Joe’s sudden return leaves them concerned about what he’s seen.

It seems as though Steve isn’t all Kev has to worry about, as a jealous Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) continues scheming to keep Kev and Lewis as far apart as possible.

Also, Graham follows Joe’s orders and spies on the depot, collecting a ruck of pictures.

Thursday, July 30

Serena is incensed to learn the USB stick she stole is empty and heads back into Home Farm, crossing Steve who’s midway through raiding the house.

As Serena and Steve come face to face, they’re forced to hide as Ross Barton (Michael Parr) enters.

Concurrently, Joe calls a ‘family lunch’, leaving Graham deeply suspicious of his intentions, with nobody aware just how much he saw yesterday.
