Emmerdale is set to bring plenty of drama – perhaps even more than normal – next week, with a number of high-intensity storylines.
From a terrifying kidnapping plot, to a shock pregnancy, with a sprinkling of a potential divorce, the ITV soap has it all.
Emmerdale spoilers have revealed that there is drama in every corner of the Yorkshire village, with the likes of Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) left scrambling, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) hurt by Jamie Tate (Alexander Lincoln), and Rishi Sharma (Bhasker Patel) dealing with some difficult feelings.
But what will have happened by the time the week comes to a close?
Paul kidnap horror
Paul is kidnapped after failing to come up with the cash for Connor
Connor turns up at the scrapyard and Paul (Reece Dinsdale) tries to come up with an excuse, as he knows he’s short on the money he owes.
He’s told his time is up, and Connor waves a metal bar, leaving Paul fearing for his life.
Mandy gets a voicemail from Paul who says he’s in trouble, and she rushes to him, when she sees him being kidnapped by Connor.
Connor demands that Mandy pays £4,000 as a ransom if she wants to see Paul alive again.
Mandy somehow gets a bag of cash – but will she get Paul back?
She scrambles to get the cash together and tries to get more time after failing to get enough, but the kidnappers demand the full payment.
The next day, Mandy reveals a bag full of cash but is reluctant to tell her family where it’s come from.
