Author: Marianna MansonPublished 10th Feb 2021

After spending the night with Jamie Tate, Gabby Thomas wants a word but she's left rejected and hurt when he tells her that sleeping together was a huge mistake and to forget about what happened.

But that's easier said than done for Gabby, who, after taking a test, is horrified to learn she's pregnant.

Will Jamie step up?

Mandy's got a plan

Elsewhere, Paul Ashdale's gambling debts have been mounting and soon it's crunch time when Connor tells him his time is up.

Mandy is horrified to learn Paul's been kidnapped, but feels confident her plan to free him will work.

Manpreet Sharma is desperate for Rishi Sharma to forgive her but Rishi insists it's still too soon, Luke Posner has some stern words for Ethan Anderson and David Metcalfe is in for a shock.

CHECK OUT: Emmerdale Monday 15 - Friday 19 February:

When Connor arrives at the scrapyard and Paul is short on the money he owes him, things turn sinister and Paul just about manages to leave a voicemail for Mandy saying he's in trouble before he's bundled into the back of Connor's van.

After Connor demands £4k from Mandy by tomorrow if she wants to see Paul alive again, Vinny is distraught worrying about how they're going to scrape together the cash but Mandy assures him she's got a plan.

Arriving at the agreed lay-by the next day, Connor turns up in his van, wearing a balaclava and disguising his voice. True to her word, Mandy has a bag of cash - but where did she get it from? And is Paul safe?

Elsewhere, Manpreet is full of remorse as Rishi still refuses to talk to her. Passing Charles in the street, he reminds her that she'll have to get used to seeing him, but neither of them realise they're being watched by Rishi.

Later on when Meena remarks to Rishi that it's about time he forgave Manpreet, Rishi lashes out at both of them and tells Manpreet he saw her speaking to Charles and he can't trust her anymore, leaving Manpreet gutted.

Laurel can tell that something is wrong with Gabby but her daughter refuses to open up. When she next sees Jamie she asks for a word, but Jamie is dismissive and insists sleeping together was a mistake, having realised how he feels about Dawn.

Feeling rejected by Jamie, Gabby finally comes clean to Laurel and admits she thinks she might be pregnant. Laurel encourages her to take a test and when it shows up positive, Gabby tells her that the father doesn't want to know, keeping his identity a secret.

With Charity still being shunned by the rest of the Dingle clan, a sympathetic Diane agrees to let her stay and suggests she sign over her share of the Woolpack to make amends.

David and Meena have only been involved for a few months but Meena takes the plunge and tells him she loves him, but is it too soon?

Meanwhile, Luke finally tells Ethan that he's told Victoria and Wendy about his past and now he's got nothing to hide, warns him to back off.

But first, here's what's coming up on Emmerdale this week...

Gabby Thomas has been doing everything she can to get Dawn Taylor off the scene but soon her scheming catches the eye of Kim Tate, who sees potential.

But despite her best efforts, Gabby's plans backfires and Jamie Tate ends up quitting the job when Dawn is fired.

Elsewhere, Charity Dingle wants to build a better relationship with Noah Dingle but when his medical issues flare up and he takes a risky gamble, Charity's at her wits end.

Matty Barton finally gets to go on his date with Amy Wyatt, Mandy Dingle's perfect family is under threat and Eric Pollard has something important to tell Brenda Walker.
