Graham’s exit decision confirmed as new Emmerdale spoilers reveal what happens next

There’s even more Dales drama to come in the next episode! (Picture: ITV) As the Tate clan breaks apart in Emmerdale, so too does matriarch Kim’s (Claire King) heart, as Joe Tate’s (Ned Porteous) determination to ensure his son is adopted opens old wounds and creates fresh ones. The turmoil surrounding Joe has been relentless since the death of his love, Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley). With an unquenchable thirst for vengeance, Joe has gone full ‘scorched Earth’ mode, and any and everybody who he perceives to have played a role in the destruction of his life is at risk. He’s already buried Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) alive while taunting her vulnerable husband Caleb (William Ash), and orchestrated a vicious beatdown of Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), using former love-rival Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) as his personal weapon. Most heartbreakingly for his nearest and dearest, though, is his unwavering desire to have his son adopted. In today’s episode, Kim was broken to learn she couldn’t visit the baby, and when Joe told her that he’d organised a private adoption. Kim is desperate to change Joe’s mind (Picture: Mark Bruce/ITV) Kim lamented his decision, while clearly reflecting on her own experience, declaring to Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) that he’d regret what he’s about to do forever. She was left reeling, but tried again later to convince Joe to think again, to no avail. With nowhere left to turn, she suggest Graham might have more luck convincing him. Elsewhere, Sadie King’s (Patsy Kensit) mission to get her perfectly-manicured-claws-in-disguise on Jimmy’s money sent her over to the depot, where she expertly manipulated Ruby into letting her in. When Caleb discovered what she was up to, his temper flared, but Ruby saw a kindred spirit in her fellow upper-class blonde.

Back at hers, the two had clearly knocked back a few too many vinos, but Ruby was dumbstruck when Sadie started to talk about her whirlwind romance with Federico…last year. Y’know, when she was supposed to be with Jimmy King (Nick Miles)? Sadie was busted by Caleb (Picture: Mark Bruce/ITV) There was terrible heartbreak as Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) continued to crumble, though things did thaw between her and bestie, Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy). Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) fought through his pain and sorrow to break up with Vinny, and tears were flowing as both boy’s hearts cracked on-screen. Elsewhere, Gabby Thomas’ (Rosie Bentham) worsening health was treated by Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) with antibiotics, but her worsening orthorexia meant she was incredibly reluctant to take any medication. What happens next in Emmerdale? Spoilers for Wednesday, September 30 episode Graham hits Joe with an ultimatum (Picture: Mark Bruce/ITV) As the Tates continue to crumble to dust, Graham makes one final attempt to break through Joe’s pain and grief. He makes it crystal clear to his surrogate son: if he goes ahead with the adoption plan for his and Dawn’s baby, Graham will walk out of his life for good. Will Graham’s ultimatum work? Will the threat of losing the one person who’s always been there for him force him to reconsider hs drastic plan? Or is Joe simply too far gone to care? It isn’t just Graham attempting to contain the chaos, though, as Sadie finds herself firmly on the backfoot when it comes to Ruby, who needles her with questions over her confession. Robert is unsure if continuing their plan is a sensible idea (Picture: Mark Bruce/ITV) Retreating to safety with her frienemy, Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), he suggests that they end their plan before everything comes tumbling down around them, but Sadie’s eyes are blinded by pound signs, and she declares that they must keep searching for the cash. Will he go along with her cruel scheme? Things reach a boiling point between Laurel and Gabby over the latter’s dedication to the healthy menu at work, and Laurel can take no more, walking out of the business entirely. As Gabby’s health continues to deteriorate and she begins coughing up blood, Robert lingers in the shadows, giddy that the business is in such bad shape – will the prospect of stealing the Hide from under Gabby convince him to continue the search for Jimmy’s missing loot? Elsewhere, a desperate Vinny turns to Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) for advice on surviving in prison, while a conversation between Kim and Thea Ramsden (Chelsea Edge) at the graveyard leads Thea to thaw for the first time toward her birth mum.
