Emmerdale spoilers for 29th June–1st July 2026
It looks like a tough week in the village, with Charity, Mack, Kev, Claudette, Serena, Sarah and Robert all pulled into the drama.
The biggest storylines this week include:
- Charity decides to go back to the police and tell them about Dr Todd’s blackmail.
- Charity is left devastated when she realises the blackmail may be treated separately from the sexual assault case.
- Mack supports Charity and encourages her to tell the police everything, even though he is still reeling from everything she has revealed.
- Charity tries to stay strong for Leyla’s christening, but the pressure of everything she is carrying threatens to overwhelm her.
- Claudette is thrilled when Kev returns and offers him a place to stay.
- Kev opens up to Claudette and Charles about Lewis being his son, and admits he is thinking about running away.
- Claudette encourages Kev to fight for his family and not give up on Lewis.
- Sarah grows suspicious of newcomer Serena and starts wondering what she is hiding.
- Serena continues to raise questions in the village, especially as people try to work out what she really wants.
- Robert receives surprising news from Kev, adding another twist to the wider Sugden drama.
So this week’s Emmerdale is focusing heavily on Charity’s fight for justice, Kev’s return, Serena’s secrets and more family fallout in the village.

- Megan manipulates Janine by claiming Will took advantage of her when she was vulnerable.
- Will struggles as the trial begins and his pre-recorded statement is played in court.
- Ben takes to the stand and faces difficult questions, leaving him worried he may have made things worse for Will.
- Sam’s fears resurface, leaving Nick and Toyah worried about what comes next.
- Sarah faces fresh pressure as suspicions around Jodie continue to grow.
- Jodie’s behaviour raises more questions, especially as Sarah tries to work out who attacked her at No.8.
