And Samson finally finds the bravery to stand up to Josh.

But Sam and Lydia are left horrified when Samson gets arrested for assault on Josh.

While Moira watches on, seemingly satisfied, Cain wonders if Moira was involved.

The next day Cain struggles to believe Moira wasn’t the one who grassed him up.

In the Woolpack, Amelia’s anxious for news of Samson’s plea hearing, as she worries about the repercussions for Esther of having her biological dad locked up.

The Woolpack is silenced when Lydia enters with news from court.

How long will Samson be sentenced for?

Elsewhere on the Dales, newcomer John Sugden arrives at his mum’s funeral.

Once they arrive at the church Victoria puts her foot in it with a bereaved son and is stunned to hear his name is John Sugden.

Pollard awkwardly confirms John could actually be her half brother – her dad’s son.

Meanwhile, it’s not long before back in the village Mackenzie receives a call at the garage about a breakdown nearby and sets off to help.

When Pollard and Victoria return to the village they are surprised to find John – who has broken down – in the village.

Victoria is delighted to see him again. 

But before long, John is ruffling a few feathers with his appearance in the village.

Most complained about soap storylines

Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…

  • EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners – with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not “unduly disturbing”.
  • Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom – but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.
  • Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints – Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford – and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.
  • Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
