Next week Tim has a word with Brody about what he&#8217;s learned and asks him to trust the judgement of the social worker, and adds they only want what is best for the girls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He and Sally also want to help them, offering to keep the girls with them after some news about Lou. It seems Brody is told about their mother first, as he decides to break the news to his siblings. He soon tells the girls that their mum has been sentenced to four years in prison and it leaves them distraught.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Sally does her best to soothe the sobbing girls who are sad about their mum, no doubt fearing they will never see her again. This update marks the exit of Lou despite calls from fans for her to stay on the show.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/22_07_coro_lou_visit_01.jpg\" alt=\"Lou Michaelis has been offscreen for weeks ever since she was imprisoned after attacking Gary Windass\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Lou Michaelis has been offscreen for weeks ever since she was imprisoned after attacking Gary Windass(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The social worker and a psychologist arrive at the house to help the girls process the news. The visitors then explain to Sally and Tim that they are happy for the family to stay together and on the cobbles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">But a moment worries them all when suddenly a loud scream is heard from the garden. So what has happened, and is everyone okay? The girls have been through a lot, as has Brody, amid their dad Mick&#8217;s reign of terror on the street with a siege, as well as him murdering police officer and much-loved resident Craig Tinker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">After Mick escaped prison as part of a plan to go on the run with Lou and the kids, things escalated and Kit Green, Brody&#8217;s real father, was left injured. Brody has been struggling with the DNA bombshell that Kit is his dad, while we&#8217;ve seen them spending more time together.<\/p>\n<p>Get the latest drama from the Dales by joining our Emmerdale WhatsApp group<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">As drama continues to unfold in the Yorkshire Dales, the Mirror has launched its very own Emmerdale WhatsApp community where you&#8217;ll get all the latest breaking news, secrets, and spoilers delivered straight to your phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Users must download or already have WhatsApp on their phones to join in.
