Emmerdale tonight saw John Sugden stranded in the village. And if
we thought we might learn a bit more about him, we were wrong.
All we know is he’s still moody and he’s still miserable.
Elsewhere, Mandy became a findom and Moira displayed yet more personalities. Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Friday August 9.
John was mean
Despite his stand-offish nature, it didn’t stop Tracy, Chas and Nicola ogling John while he was out for a run. Aaron came along and was snippy about him, meaning Chas immediately worked out something had happened. So Aaron confessed and told his mum it brought everything that happened with Robert back and he couldn’t go there again.
Meanwhile, Victoria was still playing hostess with the mostess, determined to kill John with kindness. But snappy, moody John wasn’t interested in playing happy families. Especially when Sarah turned up wanting to meet her newfound uncle. John then confessed his mum had written a letter to Jack, but he never replied. Victoria was insistent that Jack can’t ever have got the letter.
John stomped off. He then had another encounter with Aaron. He called Aaron “paranoid and a bit of a whiner” – he does have a point. But Aaron didn’t like it and tried to hit him again. However, John once again came out on top. Probably time for a new tactic other than violence.
So, so far we know John has the Sugden moodiness down, but definitely none of the charm.
Mack and Aaron then plotted to wipe the smile off John’s face. Which doesn’t sound sensible at all. But when has that ever stopped them?
Moira was also mean – and then flirty in Emmerdale tonight
Moira was stressed again – this time because Cain had tidied up rather than done nothing. It’s no wonder he can’t keep up.
She then came home later and was all lovey-dovey and kissy. She told him there weren’t many men this “useful and sexy” leaving Cain very confused again. Us to. Is she drunk? Is that what this is? Or is something else going on here?
Mandy is a findom
Desperate to solve her money worries, Mandy was caught by Tracy signing up for her findom website. And she was not impressed. She insisted Mandy needed to find another way, but Mandy was adamant she was going ahead with it.
Meanwhile, Chas gave Paddy a pre-wedding present that included his and hers slippers and bride and groom rubber ducks. She then let slip they’d been given to them for their wedding. Because that’s not weird. After they shared a moment, Chas told him she was happy for him.
Back at home Mandy chose a mask for her profile pic and soon had her first client ready and waiting. Madame Diamante Dales was born. There’s no way this can go wrong for Mandy, right? Right? We’ll find out next week…
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Caleb paid Jimmy a visit and discovered his plan had worked and Jimmy had lost a big client. Part one complete.
Then, conveniently, a inspector turned up to check the vehicles at Home James Haulage… And Jimmy was fined for exceeding his legal driving limits. Did Caleb have something to do with it? Yes, of course he did! Round two to Caleb.
We don’t know about you, but the whole Caleb ruining someone’s life storyline feels a bit, well, boring and dry. Change the record.
