Spoilers also show Charity making a threat against Tom as Belle is arrested

Emmerdale spoilers suggest fans will receive an update on a legendary character no longer in the village as another prepares to make an exit.

Ahead of Wednesday, October 23 edition airing on ITV1 we’ve watched it on ITVX and have some of the main talking points. What caught our attention was an update on Bernice Blackstock.

Played by Samantha Giles, the character fled the Emmerdale village last year. Daughter Gabby provided a brief update while playing happy families with partner Vinny and in-laws Mandy and Paddy.

The latter asked how Bernice is with Gabby replying: “Oh, you know. Falling out of love every five minutes and causing carnage on the Costa.” She later added “I never thought I’d hear myself say this but I do actually really miss her.”

During the episode, there was also a suggestion a current visit might soon leave – by the looks of it only temporarily. As Caleb and Ruby continue to battle their issues it was agreed she would take a break and visit son Nicky.

Discussing his issues with Ruby, in the cafe, Caleb said: “I might have told one too many lies and betrayed her trust too often.”

Elsewhere, Belle was arrested as part of her ongoing issues with ex-partner Tom. Belle said: “He’s playing mind games with me again. So, I put him straight. I just had to tell him to leave me alone and it got heated.”

Somewhat sinister, Charity advised: “Cut his oxygen off. Literally, if I had my way.”

Discovering the news of Belle’s arrest, Tom said: “That’s great news. Let’s hope the police can talk more sense into her than I’ve been able to do. That’s the best news I’ve had all week.”
