It’s spring in Emmerdale and that means a whole load of exciting new storylines. As if we’ve not had enough drama recently there’s lots more to come in the Dales.

So we thought we’d round up everything we’re looking forward to in our spring preview.

Is Caleb going to be Joe’s next target?

Joe’s still ill and getting worse. While we don’t know what’s exactly wrong with him, his plan for Noah fell apart and he’s now getting pretty desperate.

One thing’s for sure, Joe needs some sort of help and fast. Emmerdale fans are always quick to put two and two together and they reckon this is only going one way.

Remember the new year flashforward when we saw with Caleb flatlining on the operating table? Well, the fans think this could be Joe putting the next part of his plan into action.

Is Caleb in danger?

Steph’s got a plan!

Steph knows everything now and not surprisingly she’s not taking it very well. But after Steph does a bit of a vanishing act, Ruby manages to track her down at Anthony’s grave.

And it turns out Steph’s been doing some thinking. She’s got a plan! She gathers everyone together but what is she plotting? Is she going to reveal all about her grandad’s d3ath? Is she going to frame someone? Or is her plan even more twisted?

But could Jai ruin everything?

In the meantime, an unlikely detective is on the case of Anthony’s disappearance – Jai Sharma! He’s sniffing round the depot and he’s determined to get to the bottom of everything that’s puzzling him. What will he uncover? And what will the band of k!llers do if Jai accidentally finds out the truth?

Could Jai become a victim? A hero? Or will he end up taking the blame for Anthony’s d3ath?

Emmerdale spring preview: Manpreet’s in trouble!

Manpreet’s in trouble thanks to the saucy pics she’s been posting. But who is her blackmailer and what exactly do they want? Could Charles be the one tormenting his ex? We admit that seems unlikely. In fact, there’s only one person we’re suspicious about and that’s Ella.

She may be acting like she’s Manpreet’s bestie at the moment, but we all know that Ella can’t be trusted. She’s sneaky and manipulative and she’s very volatile. Could she be the one sending Manpreet the creepy messages?

We know Ella’s leaving the village soon – perhaps this be the reason for her departure?

Will Ella k!ll again?

Mind you, Ella’s not the only one who’s waving goodbye to Emmerdale soon, our spring preview reveals. Gail’s also leaving.

Perhaps she is Manpreet’s blackmailer? (No perhaps not!) Or perhaps she’ll get caught in the crossfire between Ella and Manpreet? Could Ella even k!ll again before she goes? Be careful, Gail!

Emmerdale spring preview: Nate discovered!

Of course the biggest storyline lurking in the background this spring is the knowledge that Nate Robinson’s corpse is in the lake.

Amy saw him when she fell beneath the ice after the limo crash, but though she managed to say his name to husband Matty, he’s not put two and two together. After all, he’s been too busy processing Amy’s tragic d3ath and organising her funeral.

But this is soap and nothing stays buried for long – not even bodies.

We’re waiting to find out who k!lled Nate and why. Who was the hooded figure watching the search and rescue team pulling the limo out of the lake? And who sent the birthday present to little Frankie? We were convinced the k!ller was John Sugden, who was – after all – the last person to see Nate before he ‘left’.

But the birthday present threw us a little bit – would John know when Frankie’s birthday was? We’re not convinced. In which case, could the k!ller be someone else? Ella?! Caleb? Jai??? We’re desperate to find out more.
