Sam hides a secret from Lydia (Picture: ITV)
Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) is busy getting to know Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) in Emmerdale, unaware he is exploiting multiple members of the village.
Ray has connected with Laurel because she serves as a reminder of the life he could’ve lived. He knows that they won’t be together forever, but is relishing in the time they spend together.
In upcoming episodes, Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) starts to snoop into Laurel’s new romance. Intrigued, she takes to social media and searches for Ray, but is puzzled when she realises he doesn’t have an online footprint.
Curious as to why he doesn’t have at least one profile on a platform, Nicola ponders over whether Ray is hiding anything.
Is the local loud-mouth going to be the first to discover who Ray really is?

Yes, they are festive decorations you can see (Picture: ITV/Metro)
