It’s all kicking off on Emmerdale in the run-up to Christmas, as a villain is finally rumbled.
Celia Daniels is caught out by Moira Dingle, and it leads to violence and a downfall vow. Moira might not be the only one to expose Celia though, as her ‘son’ Ray Walters could disobey her after two separate incidents.
With Moira, she finally realises Celia has been tricking her with their recent farming venture. The pair had teamed up with contracts to produce for restaurants and other establishments, but Moira has had no idea about Celia’s farm.
Celia is exploiting workers, and according to actress Jaye Griffiths she isn’t even really a farmer. Having used Moira, Moira is about to find out that her signature has been forged on fraudulent invoices.
Moira is curious about recent issues, and she comes across evidence that her business arrangement with her so-called new pal isn’t what it seems. Moira wastes no time in confronting Celia over her find, leaving the latter alarmed.

She covers though and instead uses Moira’s justified anger to discredit the accusations, trying to make herself look like the injured party. Without actually addressing the accusations, it leads to Moira shouting out and warning her to stay away from her business.
Things get heated and Moira slaps Celia, but Moira fears she’s gone too far and may face legal consequences. She also fears Celia will get away with it all, and grows determined to bring Celia and her shady operation down for good.
As for Ray, things get serious with love interest Laurel Thomas, while Laurel has no idea who she’s letting into her home. When Ray finds out his mother is joining them for dinner he’s fearful, and he warns her to play nice.

But Celia is intent on wrecking their romance, worried he is getting too attached. Painting Ray as a manipulative, emotionally-distant playboy, she changes Laurel’s thoughts about her son for the worse, and he’s left devastated.
Humiliated and angry, he confronts Celia who warns him to end the romance, but will he? That’s not all, as Bear Wolf, who is being exploited by Celia and Ray, is injured.
Ray panics about the wound, no doubt fearing he could die like Anya did. He fears it needs proper medical treatment but this is forbidden by Celia. So will he disobey her and get Bear looked at, possibly exposing them amid the soap’s harrowing modern slavery twist?
Also coming up, Ruby Miligan is planning a new enterprise with the help of Manpreet Sharma. Jai Sharma and Charity Dingle aren’t pleased though, while soon Charity makes a deal with her.

Speaking of Charity, she continues to struggle with her baby secret. She may end up letting slip to ex and pal Vanessa Woodfield though, that the baby she is carrying might not be her granddaughter Sarah’s baby after all.
Fans will recall Charity agreed to be a surrogate for Sarah and her partner Jacob Gallagher, but when the procedure appeared to be unsuccessful when she started bleeding, she hit the bottle and ended up sleeping with Ross Barton. Fans know it’s her and Ross’ baby she is actually carrying, and Vanessa could find this out soon.
Charity tries to make an excuse to avoid being present at the baby’s gender reveal party unaware of the ramifications. So is this the moment she gets caught out?
