Emmerdale’s Manpreet Sharma is set to get more than she bargained for on the ITV soap next week when she makes a huge discovery after eavesdropping on Marcus Dean.
Marcus (Darcy Grey) accidentally reveals something he shouldn’t relating to newcomer Naomi Walters (Karine Peter) next week on the Dales
Emmerdale vicar Charles Anderson (Kevin Methurin) tracked down Naomi in recent weeks and shared an uncomfortable first encounter.
Charles made the bombshell discovery last year that as well as his son Ethan (Emile John) he had another child with his ex-wife Esme.
After Ethan was born, Charles cheated on Esme while she was suffering from postnatal depression, only for her to learn she was again pregnant.
Amid the breakdown of her marriage, Esme decided to keep her second pregnancy a secret from Charles and gave birth to Naomi after they had separated.
Although Esme then gave the baby up for adoption, she was reunited with daughter Naomi years later – only for Charles to learn the truth and determine he was going to meet her.
When a distraught Esme called to say that Naomi had gone missing, guilt-ridden Charles set out to look for her.
He eventually found his long-lost daughter working in a bar in a reunion scene that left a lot to be desired when Charles suddenly blurted out the truth of her paternity after pushing her boss over.
Naomi then stormed out the bar, leaving her angry boss to call the police, which resulted in Charles being put behind bars for a time.
When Charles again tried to reach out to Naomi, she showed up in Emmerdale out of the blue, insisting she had no interest in getting to know Charles, but needed money after losing her job.
However, when she was making her way to leave with cash in pocket, Ethan stopped her and pleaded with her to give Charles a chance.
Unfettered, she left and since then Charles has been quietly upset to learn the pair stayed in contact, hoping he could himself reach out at some point to repair their relationship.
However, ITV spoilers have revealed that Ethan’s boyfriend Marcus is caught next week speaking on the phone about Ethan meeting up with Naomi – unaware that Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) is in earshot.
Manpreet interrupts Marcus to quiz him about what she's just heard - only for Charles to show up too. Will Ethan's attempts to bond with Naomi drive a wedge between him and Charles?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV.
