Emmerdale spoilers follow for Friday’s episode (12 September), which is available to watch now on streaming service ITVX and YouTube, and hasn’t yet aired on TV.

Emmerdale has revealed which character could turn out to be an unexpected ally for Robert Sugden.

Things aren’t looking too good for Robert, who is currently in prison charged with the attempted murder of Aaron and John.

Viewers know that evil John purposely jumped off the gorge with his arms around Aaron, but he has managed to convince everyone that Robert came charging at them both in a fit of rage.

With no change in Aaron’s condition in today’s episode, Moira continued to worry about her brother Mack, sure he wouldn’t ignore the news about his best friend.

Victoria has firmly taken John’s side, but she still faced flack from the Dingles in the aftermath of this week’s events.

Moira and Cain told her that they were cutting her out of the farm and would give her back her investment, making it clear that their two families can’t work together anymore.

Later, Charity called round to see Victoria to ask about Mack’s disappearance – but Victoria broke down in tears, explaining that she’s being punished for her brother’s actions.

During their emotional chat, Robert phoned his sister from prison, but Victoria promptly hung up and refused to speak to him.

Robert changed tactics and rang the farm, and when Matty picked up, he urged him to help and get a message to Victoria on his behalf.

Matty paid Victoria a visit, and he promised to talk to Cain and Moira about kicking her out of the business.

He passed on the message from Robert, asking Victoria to visit him in prison. Victoria rejected this request, so Matty questioned whether Robert did actually try to kill his brother.

“I thought he had,” he said, “but hearing how desperate he sounded, I’m not so sure now. What if he’s telling the truth, Vic? If you don’t hear what he’s got to say to you, how will you ever really know?”

Will Victoria listen to Matty and go to see Robert?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
