Meanwhile, Cain Dingle faces a heartbreaking crisis involving beloved dog Monty, and Gabby Thomas’ hidden struggles begin affecting those closest to her.

With relationships tested and secrets threatening to destroy lives, here are the biggest Emmerdale spoilers coming from 20–24 July.

1. Serena Wins Robert’s Trust

Serena Sugden finds herself at the centre of another tense situation next week as doubts about her motives continue spreading through the village.

After a heated confrontation involving Ross Barton, Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle, Serena steps in before things become even more explosive.

When Ross storms away, Serena sees an opportunity to finally explain herself.

She sits down with Robert and opens up about her connection to John Sugden, revealing more details about her past and the reasons behind her actions.

Serena insists that things are not as suspicious as they appear and hopes Robert will understand why she has behaved so secretively.

After hearing her explanation, Robert decides to give his cousin another chance and agrees she can remain at the farm.

However, Aaron remains far from convinced.

Still believing Serena may be hiding something important, Aaron worries that Robert is making a dangerous mistake.

Despite his concerns, Robert is recovering from his recent injuries and needs help around the farm.

Reluctantly, Aaron offers Serena a job — but makes it clear he will be watching her every move.

2. Serena Sets Her Sights On Ross Barton

Serena’s next move creates even more questions when she begins targeting Ross Barton.

The newcomer carefully arranges an opportunity to get closer to Ross, making their meeting appear completely accidental.

Ross quickly becomes convinced that Serena is interested in him romantically.

Flattered by her attention, he allows his confidence to take over and begins believing that he may have finally won her over.

However, viewers know Serena is rarely careless.

Her behaviour appears calculated, suggesting she may have a much bigger reason for getting close to Ross.

Whether she wants information, access to something valuable or simply needs Ross for a hidden plan remains unclear.

One thing is certain — Ross may be walking directly into Serena’s trap.

3. A Shocking Break-In At Home Farm

Home Farm becomes the centre of another mystery when an intruder breaks onto the property.

Kim Tate discovers signs that someone has been inside and immediately takes action.

Armed and prepared to protect her home, Kim orders Ross to investigate and gives him a list of possible suspects.

However, Ross quickly finds himself under pressure when Kim reveals something valuable has disappeared.

The missing item is not money or jewellery.

Instead, someone has stolen a USB drive.

The discovery raises a major question:

What information was stored on the device, and who wanted it badly enough to risk breaking into Home Farm?

Ross quickly points the finger at Moira Dingle, but she refuses to accept the accusation and sends him away.

Not giving up, Ross later confronts Robert Sugden, leading to another explosive clash involving Aaron.

4. Charity Receives Devastating News

After everything she has endured, Charity learns that the Crown Prosecution Service will not continue with the case due to a lack of evidence.

The decision leaves Charity devastated.

After finally finding the courage to speak out, she fears Todd may escape without facing consequences.

However, Mackenzie refuses to accept defeat.

Determined to help Charity find justice, he begins searching for another way to expose Todd.

5. Vanessa And Mack Launch Their Own Investigation

With the official investigation struggling, Vanessa and Mackenzie decide to take matters into their own hands.

They believe there could be previous complaints about Todd that were ignored or never properly investigated.

Their search leads them back to the hospital, where they arrange a private meeting with HR representative Carol.

They hope she can reveal information that could strengthen the case against Todd.

However, when Charity discovers they have been investigating without telling her, she is furious.

She heads to confront Vanessa, unaware that the meeting could lead to a major breakthrough.

6. Charity Meets Another Todd Survivor

Charity’s visit to the hospital takes an unexpected emotional turn when she meets Helen, another woman who may have suffered because of Dr Todd.

At first, Helen refuses to discuss her past.

She is clearly uncomfortable and unwilling to revisit painful memories.

However, everything changes when Charity bravely shares her own experience and reveals the abuse she suffered.

Her honesty affects Helen deeply.

For the first time, Charity begins to realize she may not be alone.

If Helen finds the courage to speak publicly, her testimony could provide crucial evidence and completely change the investigation.

7. Kev Attempts To Rebuild His Relationship With Lewis

Kev Barton continues trying to prove that he has changed.

After leaving his café job, Kev receives encouragement from Claudette not to give up.

Although Nicola King is secretly pleased he has stepped away, Kev soon surprises everyone by asking for his old job back.

With Lewis’ birthday approaching, Kev tries to make up for lost years by buying thoughtful gifts.

However, his enthusiasm becomes overwhelming for Lewis, who struggles to handle the sudden attention.

Kev’s challenge is proving he can be a father without rushing the relationship.

8. Steve’s Arrival Creates Trouble For Kev

Just as Kev begins rebuilding his life, someone from his past suddenly arrives.

Kev immediately warns Steve not to interfere with his new beginning.

But with their history still unclear, viewers are left wondering whether Steve can really be trusted.

Unable to accept the seriousness of Monty’s condition, Cain searches for another medical opinion and believes there must still be a way to save him.

As Cain focuses all his energy on finding a cure, he begins distancing himself from Moira and Kyle.

The people closest to him struggle to reach him as his desperation grows.

10. Cain Receives Heartbreaking News

Despite his hopes, Monty’s tumours cannot be operated on.

The truth leaves Cain shattered.

At the same time, Kyle continues struggling emotionally and feels unable to turn to his father for support.

Cain’s behaviour has created a painful distance between them, and Moira worries that the family is beginning to break apart.

11. Cain Faces A Dangerous Accident

Hoping to reconnect with Kyle, Cain arranges a camping trip.

However, things quickly go wrong when Kyle invites Graham along.

Cain struggles with the situation and tensions rise throughout the trip.

Her obsession with controlling what she eats becomes increasingly intense, even though she tries to hide it from those around her.

When Billy prepares a meal hoping they can spend quality time together, Gabby secretly avoids eating.

She makes excuses and changes the subject because the food does not meet her strict standards.

However, Gabby’s increasingly restrictive behaviour becomes harder to ignore.

As her anxiety grows, those closest to her begin questioning whether she needs help before things spiral further.
