Next week on Emmerdale, secrets spill, old flames reignite, and one decision could change everything! With hidden injuries, surprise proposals, and some explosive confrontations, the village is about to be shaken to its core. Here’s a sneak peek at the seven major spoilers you won’t want to miss for the week of Monday, August 4th – Friday, August 8th, 2025.
1️⃣ Dan’s Secret is Exposed, Ray’s Shadow Looms 🚨
Dan’s past is catching up with him fast. Although he’s tried to keep a low profile since the burglary at Butler’s, his leg injury worsens, and it’s only a matter of time before everything unravels. As April sneaks him into the vet’s office for help, Patty’s quick to jump in, but the drama intensifies when Dan walks into the pub — and Mandy and Marlon are there. The tension is palpable, especially when Marlon’s face reveals his disappointment.
Here’s the kicker: Dan is still in contact with Ray Walters, and he’s got more than just a few old calls to ignore. Ray is keeping an eye on him, and it looks like Dan might just be trading one prison for another. With Kyle and April’s safety on the line, can Dan escape Ray’s grip, or is he too far in?
2️⃣ Robert’s Struggles: A Love Triangle and a Huge Lie 😤
After last week’s punch-up with Jon, Robert is trying to patch things up, but Jon has the upper hand. He’s holding on to damning dashcam footage and isn’t afraid to use it. Robert attempts to reconcile with Aaron, who gives him a glimmer of hope, but things take a turn when Moira finds out Robert nearly sold Annie’s field to Kim Tate. She confronts him, but Robert tries to twist the situation into a pitch to farm it with Victoria — a nostalgic move, but is it genuine or just another lie? Victoria’s suspicions will grow, and viewers are left wondering if Robert can clean up the mess he’s made.
3️⃣ Steph and Ross Reignite Their Romance… with a Twist 💔
For those craving some lighter drama, Lewis plays Cupid once again. After realizing that Ross and Steph have a history, he ropes in Ruby to set them up. When Steph’s car breaks down, Ross comes to the rescue, and before long, they’re back in each other’s arms. But there’s trouble on the horizon — Ross claims he hasn’t been with anyone else since they broke up, but one person knows that’s not true. Will this come back to bite him?
4️⃣ Mandy’s Secret: A One-Night Stand with Ross? 😬
Mandy’s trying to dodge questions about her love life but can’t hide it for long. Turns out, she had a one-night stand with Ross during his split from Steph.

Things get even messier when she confides in Vanessa, creating a powerful moment between the two characters who’ve both been burned by love.
5️⃣ Charity’s Heartbreaking Secret: A Dangerous Fall 💔
Charity’s been juggling a lot lately — carrying Sarah and Jacob’s embryo, organizing their engagement party, and holding the family together. But when she falls during a quiet walk with Mac, things begin to unravel. She brushes it off, but secretly, she’s been bleeding. Unable to carry this burden any longer, Charity confides in Vanessa, but the fear in her eyes says it all. The situation is critical, and Charity’s silent struggle could cause irreparable damage to her relationship with Sarah. If Sarah finds out, it could be the breaking point. How will Charity manage the growing tension between protecting her family and facing the truth?

It’s not just cold feet — Vinnie’s spiraling, trying to make sense of what he wants. With Aaron’s advice and a moment of clarity, Vinnie begins to search for answers, but it’s a risky step when he arranges to meet someone he’s been chatting with online. The situation’s getting complicated, and if Gabby finds out, the fallout could be devastating. Will Vinnie confront his feelings, or will he risk everything on a lie?
7️⃣ Belle Gets Closure: A New Chapter ✨
Belle’s been through a lot, and just when things are starting to settle, Lydia hands her a letter from the Hotton family court. Could it be confirmation of her divorce from Tom?
