The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

Gail Loman (Rachael Gill-Davis) has left the Emmerdale village.

When the character returned in 2023, she quickly reunited with Ryan Stocks (James Moore).

Over the past couple of years, the two residents have faced challenges, but their relationship always remained strong throughout.

Things started to change for Gail last week, as she started to feel underappreciated at the pub. She came up with a Mr and Mrs quiz idea a few days later, hoping to impress people around her, but it went terribly wrong.

When Ryan and Gail sat down to answer the questions hosted by Kerry (Laura Norton), things got awkward as they kept getting the answers wrong.

Back at the pub, Gail told Ryan that she believes they’ve fallen out of love with each other, news that left him gutted.

Gail spent the evening on the sofa at Marlon’s (Mark Charnock), and the lack of contact started to cause Ryan concern in tonight’s episode.

He was reassured by Charity (Emma Atkins), but Ryan was right to be worried – Gail had been thinking a lot about him and her future while on her own.

After a chat with Mary (Louise Jameson), Gail returned to the pub and admitted to Ryan that she wants her life to look like something other than helping out at the pub. This life wasn’t a problem for Ryan, but Gail believed she was put on the earth to do more.

She told Ryan that she had spoken to her friend in Devon, and will be leaving the village to move there.

Ryan was heartbroken, but respected Gail’s decision to leave.
