Emmerdale spoilers 11 to 16 October as Aaron gets the keys

Aaron Dingle is left confused when an emotional Gabby Thomas and Laurel Thomas unexpectedly hand him a set of keys.

Robert Sugden soon arrives and privately explains everything to Aaron before making him a promise. Robert insists that once the deal has gone through, he will stop scheming.

Later, Robert is confident that Claudette Anderson is not as good as people say. Whether his judgement proves correct remains uncertain as he faces the possibility of being proved wrong.

At Home Farm, Thea Ramsden brings Joe Tate back drunk and Kim thanks her for being lenient with him. Joe soon appears focused on something new and is later seen carrying a brown briefcase as he clearly puts another plot into motion.

Sadie King becomes involved when Joe asks her to spy on the Miligans and obtain evidence that could destroy them. Sadie is initially uncertain, but her desperation eventually persuades her to go ahead.

She has already made progress with Ruby Miligan. Laurel confronts Sadie in the pub and tears a strip off her, but Sadie later tells Ruby about her previous controlling relationship. Afterwards, she smiles to herself, pleased that Ruby appears to have been drawn in.

Sadie then gets another opening when Vanessa Woodfield accidentally lets a secret slip. She presses Vanessa for more information before trying to catch Caleb alone. However, Sadie soon becomes aware of just how difficult it could be to seduce him.

Vinny Dingle is meanwhile preparing for court. Mandy invites him home for tea, where he is stunned to find the family gathered together to support him.

Mandy and Paddy later comfort Vinny and try to convince him he will soon be back with them. Despite their reassurance, Vinny is frightened when he eventually reaches court, while Mandy later struggles.

Cain Dingle is also unimpressed by the meagre family turnout at Zak’s memorial. Sam and Lydia grow increasingly excited about Samson’s return from prison, although Sam decides not to tell Cain after seeing his bad mood.

Samson’s return reopens emotional wounds for Matty Barton and causes a divide between Moira and Sam and Lydia. Tensions remain high because Matty has moved into the room intended for Samson, with Moira meddling in the dispute.

Matty eventually appears downstairs with a suitcase. Moira pleads with him not to move out, but he tells her that she needs to forgive Samson.

Nicola King also appreciates Bob Hope’s support, although Bob has received bad news of his own.
