Emmerdale spoilers: 14 huge storylines still to come including tragedy, shock returns and big twists
Its been one hell of a week in Emmerdale with Joe Tates shock death, Kims chaotic return to Home Farm and an explosive showdown between Ross Barton and acid attacker Simon. As the dust settles on the village, Debbie Dingle is languishing in prison, Faith is hiding the secret that she pushed Kim and Cain is in cahoots with Graham Foster to cover up a murder he believes he committed.
This has undoubtedly laid the groundwork for some seriously major drama down the line but theres much more besides that to look forward to if youre an Emmerdale fan. Heres what happens next in the most notorious village in the UK.
Kim Tate will be back – for revenge?
Kim has only been back for a day and already she has been launched from a balcony and then carted off back to prison – but she will be back with a vengeance! With matters at Home Farm to sort out and her reignited war with the Dingles, Kim will have some scores to settle.

Executive producer Jane Hudson said: Kim Tate is just getting warmed up for an explosive 2019 which will see her hell-bent on getting exactly what, and who, she wants.
Here comes James!
Part of that story is likely to see the arrival of James into the mix. With Kim having asked Graham to track down her estranged son, it would be far too much of a missed opportunity for Emmerdale not to cast him.
But what caused the relationship to break down between mother and son – and how will they fare when they come face to face after all this time?
Goodbye Ross
Ross is finally looking to the future after finding some form of closure through the confession and subsequent arrest of Simon. With him turning his back on his drug habit and making a go of things with Rebecca, just what will take Ross out of the village for good?
Will he be set to have a happy ever after with Rebecca or could a cruel twist of fate ruin it all?
Will Cain discover the truth?
At the moment, Cain is of the belief that he killed Joe and Graham seems to be in no hurry to correct him. Fans know that Joe was still alive (although probably very barely) when Graham came to dispose of the body.
But Cain shouldnt trust shady Graham. Will he come clean to Moira about what has happened and together will they be watching Graham like a hawk? Or has Graham already planned a downfall for Cain?

Victoria on a mission
Ever since discovering that it was Moira, not Adam, who killed Emma, Victoria has been seething at the injustice of it all and begins determined to track down Adam – much to the discomfort of Aaron who is still in touch with his best mate.
However, when Victoria is duped by a rogue private detective, she ends up in a dangerous situation as Matty, Aaron and Robert race to the rescue. But will they be too late?
Jacob in danger from Maya?
Jacob is going to start developing stronger feelings for Maya after defending her against her acid tongued former stepdaughter Leanna. As Maya and David become closer, Jacobs crush deepens but could Maya be set to actually entertain his feelings?
Louisa Clein, who plays her, recently shared: There is a lot still to explore with this character. Maya hints later on down the line that she has slightly dysfunctional parents, or certainly a mother figure that is lacking, which has created more of a desire in Maya to be adored and needed. There are things in her past that have created the person she is now.
Bernices risk too far
Bernice cant resist Dr Cavanagh but as the affair continues behind the back of an oblivious Daz, the couple are set to take more and more risks. Bernice decides that she needs to put Daz out of his misery sooner rather than later.
But could the situation be taken out of her hands if he learns the truth himself?
