New struggle for Vanessa in Emmerdale as Tracy shuts her down
There's absolute turmoil for the sisters in Emmerdale with one being accused of murder and the other one dropping her in it.
Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) was dealt the hugely devastating blow of learning that the body pulled from the lake was her ex Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter).
An even more distressing twist for her was to learn that he'd been dead the whole time she thought he'd gone AWOL and instead of reporting him missing, she'd bad mouthed him and maxed out his credit card.
She and Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) then pointed the finger of suspicion at Cain (Jeff Hordley) when they revealed to the police that he'd beaten up Nate the day he died, but quick to deflect from his new uncle-in-law, John (Oliver Farnworth) dumped Nate's phone in Tracy's house and allowed the detectives to find it.
A panicked Tracy gave the police an alibi, which was a complete lie and implicated Vanessa by saying she'd been with her the whole day of Nate's disappearance.
But it unravelled quickly when Vanessa confessed the truth to protect her own skin – that they were nowhere near each other that day. More Trending
Tracy was promptly arrested and now feels nothing but contempt for her half-sibling.

EastEnders fans fear character has secretly QUIT Walford after they haven't been seen on screen for FOUR months
EASTENDERS fans are worried one character has secretly quit after realising they have vanished from the soap. Viewers have spotted that Lexi Pearce has not been on screen since EastEnders ' 40th anniversary, which was four months ago. 4 4 Fans are now concerned that Isabella Brown, the young actress who plays Lexi, has left the show. Lexi is the daughter of Ben Mitchell and the late Lola Pearce and is approaching her 13th birthday in EastEnders. Die-hard soap fans are now wondering if Lexi will return "with a different head", as many of the child stars have over the years. Writing on Reddit, one EastEnders viewer said: "Anyone know what's happening with Lexi? She hasn't been seen since the 40th anniversary and was rather absent prior to that too. "Lexi is 13 next month. The same age as Lily was when she gave birth." They added: "With only 9 appearances this year I wouldn't be shocked to see her return with a new head." Replying, another fan agreed: "Looks wise the actress reminds me a lot of the old Amy Mitchell so I wonder if they'll recast her soon to someone more older/ older looking." A third chimed in: "I think as Lexi is nearly 13 she should be part of the friendship group with Tommy, Ricky, Denzel, Nugget, Avani , Amy, Lilly and Will. "Also they seem to have forgotten Amy, Ricky and Barney are her cousins so it's weird they hardly hang out and a while back they were developing a friendship between her and Amy too." And a fourth added: "I hope she doesn't get recast. She's a great actress and it's nice to see a realistic looking teenager. BBC EastEnders fans break down in tears at Lexi Mitchell's gesture to dying mum Lola Pearce "Most of the teens are played by adults and even the likes of Lily who is only 16 irl I feel always looked a bit older (which obviously isn't her fault, some teens do look older which is realistic but not literally all of them.)." This is not the first time fans have been left scratching their heads over Lexi's lack of on-screen appearances. In December last year, EastEnders viewers raised identical concerns following another long absence. It came after a huge storyline, which saw Lexi's mum Lola - played by Danielle Harold - tragically die from an untreatable brain tumour. Lexi's dad Ben - Max Bowden - then ended up in prison for fraud. Lexi did, however, return to the BBC One soap and featured in February's huge EastEnders 40th Anniversary Week. Isabella Brown's agent had previously confirmed that she would continue to play Lexi "throughout 2025". A post on EJC Management's Instagram in December said: "So very proud of this young lady! "Our incredible ISABELLA BROWN will continue to play the brilliant Lexi Pearce throughout 2025 in @bbceastenders ⭐️ "Isabella joined the square 6 years ago and seeing her grow as an actress is such a joy! Her dedication, drive, professionalism and work ethic is so inspiring from someone so young. "She has had some amazing storylines and we can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for Lexi!" 4 4

Squid Game boss confirms mind-blowing spin-off idea that has to happen
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video In just a couple of weeks, the final season of Squid Game is set to launch on Netflix. Fans around the world are in a state of disbelief that the South Korean dystopian TV phenomenon is drawing to a close, concluding the story of Seong Gi-hun, aka Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae). However, it might not be the absolute end, as the creator of the show Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed his gripping idea for a spin-off to Metro at last night's London premiere for season three. The writer previously expressed interest in continuing the franchise, but he's now finally shared the details of what his idea would entail with familiar, terrifying characters… and we're desperate to see this fascinating plot play out. While standing alongside lead actor Lee Jung-jae, Hwang Dong-hyuk emphasised that there was 'nothing concrete yet' for an official spin-off. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Nonetheless, he's thought long and hard about how the Squid Game universe could live on, suggesting that they could delve into the backstories of people including the sinister Frontman (Lee Byung-hun) and the Recruiter (Gong Yoo). 'This is just some ideas that I've been throwing around during production. But there's a three-year gap between season one and two, since Gi-hun turns away from the plane,' he said. 'So I'd like to maybe look into the lives of those behind the mask, the Frontman, the Recruiter and Captain Park. How did they meet? What did they do during the three years? 'How did they stay on top of Gi-hun and whatnot? So that's something that I'm thinking about. I have to make it!' Metro TV Editor, Sabrina Barr When I first heard that there was talk of a Squid Game spin-off series, I envisioned a show taking place after the events of season three, perhaps following Gi-hun's daughter as she seeks revenge for her father, if he doesn't make it out of the game for a second time. However, hearing Hwang Dong-hyuk talk about the possibility of a sequel series that would fill in the blanks of that three-year gap between seasons one and two has piqued my interest greatly. I would still love to delve into the aftermath of the original series, but there is so much history about the game that we don't know, with ample content that could pack out a prequel focusing on the Frontman, the Recruiter and Captain Park. Alternatively, I also think it would be fascinating to watch a prequel on the very first Squid Game, so that we can find out how the game started in the first place, and what it was like in that inaugural year. On the other hand, maybe part of the allure that surrounds Squid Game is the sense of mystery, with the audience never being privy to the answers that they crave. Either way, I'm elated that it definitely feels as though there is more Squid Game to come in the future. The Frontman and the Recruiter have been a part of Squid Game since the beginning, although the former was only unmasked at the very end of season one, when he revealed himself to his brother, detective Detective Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon). The latter shed light on his backstory in season two, when he explained to Gi-hun that he willingly shot his own father dead during the game while he was working as a soldier. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Captain Park (Oh Dal-su) was introduced in season two as the fisherman who saved Hwang Jun-ho's life when he was shot by his brother and fell from a cliff into the sea. More Trending In season two, the captain was shown helping the police detective to search for the island where Squid Game takes place, but it was later revealed that he was actually a double agent working for the Frontman. Learning how this trio worked together behind the scenes, and how they were able to keep tabs on Gi-hun in the three years after he won the game, would add a new layer to one of the most thought-provoking thrillers on TV.
