There’s a huge development following Ray Walters’s (Joe Absolom) murder in Emmerdale<\/a> next week, as Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) is brought in for questioning.<\/p>\n

He’s adamant that he worked alone<\/a>, but DS Walsh (Amanda Ryan) has her suspicions about Paddy Dingle’s (Dominic Brunt) involvement. As he’s charged with manslaughter, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) hopes that it could eventually lead to his wife Moira’s (Natalie J Robb) release.<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it does the complete opposite.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as Arthur Thomas (Alfie Clarke) prepares to flee to Australia, mum Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) discovers where his influx of cash has come from<\/a>. There’s potential baby joy for Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) and Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), and a flash car turning up in the village turns heads.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know about the episodes of Emmerdale airing between Monday 16th and Friday 20th February.<\/p>\n

5 Emmerdale spoilers for next week1. Bear Wolf is charged with manslaughter\"A<\/p>\n

Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) admits to murdering Ray.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Unable to hide from the police any longer, Bear confesses to DS Walsh that he was the one who accidentally killed Ray, but insists that he was alone to avoid incriminating a heartbroken Paddy and Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle).<\/p>\n

Walsh notices that he seems somewhat confused about the circumstances, but Bear continues to insist there was no other party involved and quickly becomes agitated. When she changes the subject to Moira, she’s intrigued to hear that Cain tried to force him to go to the police and tell them that she wasn’t involved.<\/p>\n

\"Police<\/p>\n

Paddy Dingle (Dominic Brunt) is worried about the consequences.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

In the village, Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) urges Paddy to hold onto the hope that the police will recognise his dad’s actions as those of a desperate man and that he killed in self-defence. He’s also worried that he’ll be dragged into the situation, which isn’t helped when Walsh notices him interrupting to support Bear’s story, and the fact that such a fragile man wouldn’t be able to move a body alone.<\/p>\n

DC Chen calls him and Dylan in for further questioning, leading to Bear being charged with manslaughter. The family’s solicitor tries to offer some reassurance, saying that Bear may get bail.<\/p>\n

\"Paddy<\/p>\n

Paddy hopes that Bear will be let off on self-defence.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

However, when they put this idea to Bear, he decides to do the ‘honourable thing’ and face the consequences.<\/p>\n

Is Paddy about to lose his father all over again?<\/p>\n

2. Cain Dingle’s efforts destroy Moira’s hopes of freedom\"Cain<\/p>\n

Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) has no idea that his interference in Moira’s (Natalie J Robb) case has backfired.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Things kick off with a glimmer of hope for Cain when Liam drops the bombshell that Bear has confessed to killing Ray. <\/p>\n

For Cain, who\u2019s clinging to anything that might save Moira, it feels like a lifeline – finally, something that could help prove she\u2019s innocent. He heads to see his imprisoned wife and is on the verge of telling her about his diagnosis, when a sudden scrap between prisoners blows up the visit.<\/p>\n

Rattled and thrown off course, he bottles it. Instead of sharing his own devastating news, he blurts out Bear\u2019s confession, pinning all his hopes on it being the key to her freedom.<\/p>\n

The next day, she’s gutted and furious to learn Cain tried to pressurise Bear, and that his confession hasn\u2019t helped her case one bit. She clocks how wound up Cain is and gently pushes him to open up about whatever\u2019s eating him alive.<\/p>\n

Back at Butler’s Farm, Cain walks in to find Joe parked on his sofa, and that\u2019s the final straw. He goes for him, grabbing at his collar, but Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) jumps in and breaks it up \u2013 revealing he\u2019s the one who let Joe in. <\/p>\n

Matty asserts that Cain needs to stop picking fights with the world and start showing up for his wife.<\/p>\n

\"Caleb,<\/p>\n

Cain blames Ruby (Beth Cordingly) for Moira’s imprisonment.<\/p>\n

Later, Joe tells Kim Tate (Claire King) that Butler\u2019s will soon be theirs, while a guilt-ridden Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) confesses to Cain that she was the one who tipped off the police about Anya\u2019s body. <\/p>\n

Cain is completely blindsided and sees red, accusing her and his half-brother Caleb Miligan (Will Ash) of effectively throwing Moira under the bus by bringing the police into it. In his mind, Caleb\u2019s offer to pay for Moira\u2019s lawyer suddenly looks less generous and more like guilt money.<\/p>\n

When Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) pleads with her grandad to stop shutting out the people who are actually trying to help him, he realises he’s reached breaking point.<\/p>\n

3. Laurel Thomas is stunned by Arthur’s sudden windfall\"Arthur<\/p>\n

Arthur (Alfie Clarke) took Ray’s money.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Conflicted over Ray’s money, Arthur\u2019s head is clearly somewhere else, and he receives a telling-off from Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) at work. In a burst of fury, he quits his job at The Hide on the spot and rushes home.<\/p>\n

At home, the fallout hits Laurel hard. Already weighed down by everything her son\u2019s been through, she\u2019s left drowning in guilt over the constant upheaval in his life. <\/p>\n

She’s blindsided when she catches Arthur rummaging around and discovers he\u2019s hunting for his passport \u2013 to go to Australia. Confused as to how he would afford such a trip, she intercepts an envelope he\u2019s guarding closely, and she gets her answer.<\/p>\n

\"Arthur<\/p>\n

Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) took Ray’s bag and disposed of the drugs.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Arthur admits the money came from Ray\u2019s bag \u2013 the same bag that also contained the drugs Laurel secretly got rid of before \u2013 and Laurel is livid.<\/p>\n

In the heat of the argument, he lashes out with a cruel threat, saying he could tell people she hit him. The words cut deep, and Laurel breaks down, devastated at just how far their relationship has crumbled.<\/p>\n

Later, he begins to apologise for trying to blackmail her emotionally and begs her to let him use the cash to fund his escape. After he leaves, Laurel quietly retrieves the envelope from its hiding place and slips it into her bag, determined to keep it safe.<\/p>\n

When she overhears Marlon and Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) talking about the debt weighing them down, Laurel plans her next move.<\/p>\n

4. Dawn Fletcher stuns Joe Tate with a baby revelation\"Dawn<\/p>\n

Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) thinks she might be pregnant.<\/p>\n

Following their engagement, there’s another huge step in Dawn and Joe’s relationship coming up when she informs him that she might be pregnant.<\/p>\n

He’s become quite the family man in the last year, having taken her three kids under his wing.<\/p>\n

Will the sudden reappearance of his presumed-dead father figure, Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough), change his perspective on being a father and finally settling down?<\/p>\n

5. The residents play matchmaker between Lewis Barton and Vinny Dingle\"Ross<\/p>\n

Sparks fly between Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) and Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches).\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

It’s been a while since we had an update on the sparks flying between Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) and Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), and in upcoming scenes, Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) and Ross Barton (Michael Parr) decide to play matchmaker and set them up again.<\/p>\n

However, Vinny quickly becomes distracted by their efforts when a Delorean appears parked up outside of David’s Shop.<\/p>\n

Vinny, Kammy, and Dr Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) are intrigued by the vehicle, and it’s not long before it’s taken on a joy ride.<\/p>\n

We smell trouble!<\/p>\n
