It’s safe to say Emmerdale is currently airing some superb storylines packed full with drama. Three of these that have kept us entertained are: Malone’s (Mark Womack) affair with Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton), Moira’s (Natalie J Robb) recovery from the hit and run, and Andrea’s (Anna Nightingale) desperation to win Jamie Tate (Alexander Lincoln) back after his affair.
One thing we’ve noticed about these three stories is how they’re now beginning to tie together, and when one story is told in an episode, it usually has some sort of effect on another character who is involved in a different chain of events.
Despite the latest social distancing rules that meant our favourite soaps have had to turn a lot of their narratives around to comply with the government guidelines, these three plots have been running parallel with each other and have now intertwined with very minimal effects due to the new measures.
We’ve been taking an in-depth look into these latest occurrences in the village, and what can possibly come next for the characters involved…
DI Malone
Malone hasn’t been in the village for long, but already he’s made quite a big impression, not to mention he’s been having an affair with Harriet! Right now Cain (Jeff Hordley) is convinced Malone was responsible for Moira’s hospitalisation after she was hit by a car and there isn’t a lot of evidence to prove that Malone didn’t do it, so could this be the catalyst to put the dodgy copper behind bars?
Coming up, Malone and Will’s (Dean Andrews) confrontation over some drugs escalates and in the aftermath, a lifeless body lies on the floor. If the body is Malone’s and after Cain’s threat promising vengeance on Malone, could Harriet assume he was the culprit?
Viewers of course know it was Jamie Tate that hit Moira after driving too fast down a country lane (there’s speed limits for a reason, Jamie!), so when the truth is eventually revealed and Malone learns Jamie let him take the rap for something he caused, how much danger will Jamie be in?
Cain and Moira
Cain Dingle is a master criminal but we always see a different side to him when he’s been with Moira, even more so when he declared his love for her while she was in a hospital bed! Right now given the lack of evidence that Jamie was behind the wheel of the car that hit the person Cain loved, Cain is determined to get revenge on Malone. But when the truth is revealed, will Cain want revenge on Jamie too? This is Cain we’re talking about so the answer is probably going to be a yes!
As Moira recovers in hospital, we’re all apprehensively waiting to discover just how much she remembers about what happened moments before she was knocked over. Will she struggle to remember all of the evening? Based on her threat from Malone beforehand, could she instinctively put the two situations together and convince herself it was him?
Jamie Tate
Jamie isn’t having a particularly easy time right now. Aside from trying to end his relationship with Andrea after his affair, he is fairly overcome with worry after his hit and run ordeal. If Moira fails to remember the details about being hit, there is no proof that Jamie was involved. However, something tells us Jamie won’t be able to deal with the guilt of hitting someone, speeding, and keeping it all a secret, which means the truth will out at anytime.
It’s almost inevitable that when the villagers discover Jamie was the person who put Moira in hospital, he will have to confront Cain. But will Jamie have two villains on his back, in the form of Malone also?
There’s a lot we can talk about when it comes to the latest goings on for these characters, and given Kim (Claire King) now knowing her son’s carelessness was the reason for Moira’s injuries, she has insisted they clean up the evidence. If Kim learns about Cain’s thoughts on Malone, could the two of them team up to frame him and subsequently get Jamie off the hook?
Connecting three of the shows main storylines together is a genius idea, it has allowed for an even more entertaining watch and as we wait to see what happens with these troubled and complicated characters, it’s clear the drama is very much far from over…
