Next week, four's a crowd when both Paddy Kirk AND Kerry Wyatt join Jessie and Marlon Dingle on their honeymoon to Belfast in Emmerdale. But Paddy is there for a very important reason. After finding out his dad, Bear Wolf, is touring in Ireland, Paddy makes a plan to track him down and confront him for leaving the family.

But when they are finally face to face, Bear Wolf has a very conflicting revelation, and the pair of them are left wondering how they might conduct a relationship from here.

Aaron Livesy is ploughing full steam ahead with the surrogacy plans – without Robert Sugden's consent. When he meets and warms to a potential surrogate, Lucie, will he take matters into his own hands?

Jacob Gallagher is left broiling as his dad David Metcalfe and Maya Stepney prepare for a romantic weekend away. Overcome by his jealousy, Jacob schemes to ruin their plans.

Also next week on Emmerdale, a special Friday episode will air to celebrate International Women's Day on Friday 8th March. The episode has been entirely produced and directed by female crew members and focuses only on the female characters. Girl power!

Now let's remind ourselves of what's happening this week... Jacob Gallagher turns sixteen, and Maya Stepney plans a 'special' birthday present for him. Excited and nervous, Jacob finds himself torn as his relationship with Liv Flaherty progresses. When Liv finds herself alone in the summerhouse with Jacob, she confuses herself as she considers having sex with him.

Tensions are at boiling point between father and daughter Cain and Debbie Dingle. The custody battle for Kyle Dingle rages on, and Faith Dingle is sure she has a chance at sole custody. When Debbie realises what she's done, she is wracked with guilt. Can she make it up to her dad?

Robert Sugden is gutted to miss out on a lucrative haulage deal that could have paid for the surrogacy, but Chas Dingle and Paddy Kirk tell him and Aaron Livesy they shouldn't give up.

Emmerdale airs every weeknight at 7pm on ITV, with a second showing on Tuesday nights at 8pm.
