CHECK OUT: Emmerdale spoilers Monday 25 - Friday 29 May:

After agreeing to reconcile, Harriet is speechless when Will proposes. Trying to bury her guilt over her dalliance with Malone, Harriet is stunned into saying yes.

Will is clearly elated and Dawn is surprised, and Will wants the whole village to join them for a celebratory drink but Harriet suggest making it a joint party with Moira's birthday to take the attention away from her.

At the party, Cain presents Moira with a birthday card from him and the boys but Moira is left stung.

After Leanna finally snaps and ends up slapping Leyla across the face, it's clear it's crunch time and Liam needs to intervene.

Leanna and Liam meet in the café for another attempt at reconciling but it soon clicks for Liam that he can't have his cake and eat it too.

Later, Liam meets up with Leyla at the Take A Vow offices to let her know what he's discussed with Leanne.

Elsewhere, Vinny is chatting with 'Alex' at the scrap yard when Paul makes a throwaway comment that suggests he already knows Vinny's mum Mandy.

Paul does his best to cover but Vinny is still confused. Having swung by the scrapyard to spy, Mandy and Lydia hide as Paul leaves.

Mandy seethes to see Paul's underhand way of getting close to Vinny and sets up a meeting with him from Vinny's phone, determined to resolve matters.

Later on, Paul barges in Mandy's place and they're soon at each others' throats as they argue about what's best for Vinny.

As Mandy implores Paul to stay away, they're both floored when Vinny walks in unexpectedly and at a loss for how to explain things.

Paul comes clean and tells Vinny he's his dad, but Vinny doesn't react well and reels at the extent of the lies he's been told. After he stomps off, Mandy worries she's lost him for good.

Andrea and Jamie return from their family holiday and Jamie makes a beeline for Belle ready to grovel, but Belle is having none of it.

Belle confides in Jamie about her previous relationship with Jermaine and Jamie is clearly desperate when he promises Belle that things will be different and he's serious about her.

Back at home, Andrea logs onto Jamie's laptop and is crushed to see that the affair is still going on. With nowhere to turn, Andrea confides in Leyla that Jamie is still seeing Belle.

Leyla is adamant that after all he's put her through, Andrea should dump Jamie but she doesn't think she can. Instead, Andrea vows revenge and enlists Leyla's help.

At the Woolpack, Wendy joins Manpreet for a drink and Manpreet is amused when it's clear Wendy isn't over Bob.
