Let’s be honest—Tuesday nights without Emmerdale feel like walking through the village without the Woolpack. After Ruby Milligan dropped a murder confession that had jaws on the floor and Nate Robinson’s body floated to the surface, we were ready to dive into the fallout. Instead? Football. That’s right, ITV decided to kick Emmerdale to the curb to make room for the UEFA Women’s Nations League.

And while we absolutely support the Lionesses, the timing couldn’t have been worse. Monday’s cliffhanger had viewers reeling. Ruby’s admission that she thought she accidentally killed her father, only to discover it was Nate’s body in the lake, shook the fandom. We’re not talking minor drama—we’re talking full-blown murder mystery madness.

The emotional stakes have never been higher. Nate was no saint, but his sudden death—and the way it unraveled—has thrown the entire village into chaos. Questions swirl: Who really killed Nate? Did Ruby cover something up? And how will the rest of the villagers react when the truth starts slipping through the cracks?

Adding even more fuel to the fire is the lingering heat from Aaron and Jon Sugden’s wedding. It was supposed to be a fresh start, a chance at happiness. But Robert’s unexpected return shattered that dream. The infamous kiss between Aaron and Robert on the wedding day was a betrayal not just of vows, but of stability. And the fallout? Still smoldering.

The good news? Emmerdale returns with a vengeance—two hour-long episodes back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday. Not only will we pick up the pieces from Ruby’s confession, but we’ll also see Jon’s reaction to the secret kiss, and maybe… just maybe… the start of a deadly unraveling.

Will Robert push Jon to his breaking point? Can Ruby hide her guilt, or is someone else pulling the strings behind Nate’s death?

This is Emmerdale at its very best—messy, emotional, and utterly unmissable.
