Emmerdale's Belle joins forces with two villagers - and shock scenes follow
Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) finds herself striking up a working relationship with two fellow villagers as Take A Vow makes its comeback in the wake of February's limousine tragedy.
The business has been suffering since the tragic deaths of founder Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and co-worker Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), leaving Belle as its sole employee.
But with local teenager April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) at a loose end since her experience living rough on the streets of Leeds, Belle agrees to give the youth a trial shift, boosting the business's ranks.
At the same time, Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) shows an interest, spurred on by Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) to approach Belle as her new business partner.
However, with April recognising a face from her past at a christening she's been sent to film, it's not long before calamity strikes.
Between this and Belle's warning to keep the ever-unpopular Joe away from the business, the all-new and revitalised Take A Vow is off to a shaky start.
As the week begins, April is struggling to revise for her GCSEs. Marlon Dingle's (Mark Charnock) heart breaks for his daughter when she struggles to sit an exam due to nerves.
Belle suggests that she might be better off redoing the year, which Marlon hopes could be an option.
With April looking for a summer job, Belle agrees to give her a trial shift at Take A Vow, putting her in charge of filming a Christening that week.
However, April is horrified when she recognises the father of the baby from her time in Leeds – as a man who threatened to urinate her while she was homeless.
Marlon and Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson) are utterly unsuspecting as April's actions turn the event on its head.
Elsewhere, Joe suggests to Dawn that they take over weddings at Home Farm, independent of Take A Vow. More Trending
Instead, Dawn pitches herself to Belle as her new business partner. Belle agrees, but makes Dawn take a vow that the business will never take money from Joe.
It's not long before he offers to loan her money for the business behind Belle's back, leaving Dawn torn.

The Emmerdale moment Robert and Aaron finally reunite in new spoiler video
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video This is the Emmerdale moment where Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) finally reunite. Robert's shock reappearance in the village on the day of Aaron and John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth)'s wedding has caused massive drama. From the beginning it was clear that there was a vast amount of unfinished business between him and Aaron, with the two kissing before Aaron ultimately decided to make a commitment to John by marrying him. Since then Robert has become deeply suspicious about his half-brother John and his role in the death of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter). Viewers know that Robert is very close to uncovering the entire truth – and that this puts him in terrible danger. But in the short term, it's the relationship between Aaron and Robert that takes centre stage once again in upcoming episodes. Ryan Hawley told us that John's scheming leads to Robert being in a very dark place. 'John sets up a situation where Robert's left alone with his nephew Harry,' he revealed. 'John encourages him to be disruptive and to kind of trigger Robert, which he does. Robert loses his temper, and John walks in on it and sees it. He uses it as a thing to gaslight Robert, to make it look like he's he's been aggressive. John adds all that together, and he uses it to paint the picture to basically get rid of Robert.' With John goading Robert that he's lost Aaron and now he'll lose Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) too, Robert goes on a destructive rampage. 'He loses it, just completely has a breakdown and smashes everything in his room,' Ryan said. 'And then Aaron comes in and stops him. He just breaks down in Aaron's arms. And then we cut to the scene downstairs, when they're talking to each other. 'And Robert says it's time for him to go. He needs to move on, he shouldn't have come back. But then Aaron convinces him not to and to stay, and he's been fighting feelings the whole time as well. And we get our first Aaron and Robert love scene.' It's the moment that Robron fans have been waiting for ever since Robert's return, and you can watch it now with our new video clip above. But Ryan explained that, at this point, the pair are not viewing this as anything more permanent. 'It's kind of a take it as it is, just this moment, kind of thing,' he told us. 'They even say to each other, we don't want to think about any of that now, the circumstances that we've got is complicated. It is what it is right now, and then we'll see from there. 'And it kind of leads into the next phase of the story. They just take it for what it is, and it's more kind of a kicking-off point or starting point for the next storyline.' The 'next storyline' he's referring to obviously involves John Sugden, and the first thing that happens is that Aaron and John start making plans to leave the village. Ryan summed up how Robert is feeling in that moment. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

Robert came back to the village for Aaron, really, in truth. So yeah, he'd be devastated. It's his reason to come back and to exist.' More Trending This storyline is set to run well into next year and Ryan told us he was 'genuinely excited' for the year ahead. 'I think the show's in a great place at the moment. I think the next year, the story arc that I've been told about, I'm really excited about,' he said. He's also looking forward to the history-making upcoming crossover between Emmerdale and Coronation Street.

Cancel your weekend plans to binge Sheridan Smith's 'outstanding' Netflix drama
It looks like Netflix subscribers are discovering a Sheridan Smith crime drama that first aired on ITV in 2012. Mrs Biggs is climbing up the streamer's ranking of the platform's top 10 TV shows – making a convincing argument for a mid-August weekend watch. Smith – who has so many British dramas to her name it can be easy to let one slip – stars in this five-part drama, which is based on the true story of the Great Train Robbery. The drama focuses on the relationship between Charmian, played by Smith, and Ronnie Biggs, played by Daniel Mays. It follows everything from their first lovestruck meeting and the fateful 1963 train heist, to its aftermath and their eventual divorce in 1976, after Biggs fathered a child in Brazil. We see the petty crook meet his soon-to-be wife on, of all places, a train. 'The future is full of possibilities,' he tells her. 'The past will only drag you down.' With that, the Biggs couple set off on a crime spree before they eventually decide to settle down for a quiet married life. That is, until the 'one last job' pops up in the chance to join the train robbers. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Some labelled the drama a sanitised version of events, but it was inspired by a letter Biggs sent to his wife following the death of their son Nicholas. Biggs's former wife Charmian was also a consultant on the show. The show's writer and executive producer Jeff Pope said he wanted to set out a romantic tale, rather than a romanticised one. 'We show Ron as perhaps a little too wilfully optimistic and Charmian is the cold voice of reason throughout. It absolutely would be a danger of a piece like this to romanticise it,' he told The Guardian. 'It will get laughed out of court if it's a slushfest. In the first episode, they steal, he strikes her, we acknowledge the fact he had a criminal record; further down the line, Charmian has an abortion by another man. We don't pull back, we don't flinch.' Praised at the time of its release for the quality of the acting and the excitement of the episodes, TV viewers have shared their positive reception over the years, as Mrs Biggs has been available on ITVX as well as Netflix. Taking to X, @AshWoody90 praised: 'Mrs Biggs on Netflix, possibly one the best things I have ever watched.' More Trending @elliot_gonzalez commended the creative partnership between the show's writer and star, writing: 'Jeff Pope and Sheridan Smith should always work together. Mrs Biggs, The Widower, Cilla and now The Moorside. All outstanding work.' @TVChatty wrote: 'All week I've been watching Mrs Biggs on ITV3. Why did I not watch it first time? Fantastic story and great acting. Really enjoyed it.' @lizcurran echoed: 'Sheridan Smith is wonderful in Mrs Biggs – she is one of my favourite actors. Utterly mesmerising – always.'
