CHECK OUT: Emmerdale spoilers Monday 22 - Friday 26 March:

With Harriet still sequestering in Will's cellar, she's sworn him to secrecy and he's desperate to keep their neighbours off the scent. When Kim makes a surprise visit and makes a move, Will makes to turn her down...

...but she's quickly distracted by a noise from the cellar and is adamant they go to investigate. Thinking on his feet, Will suggests that instead they go upstairs, and Kim looks like the cat that got the cream.

After, Kim suggests that next time they go to hers and Will realises she's expecting a repeat. Heading downstairs to see Harriet, Will tries to explain that it was a necessary distraction but Harriet's heart is broken.

Elsewhere, Police arrive at the hospital to question Vinny and he's on the brink of telling them the truth when he catches Paul watching him and clams up. Later, Liv visits and Paul lays into her for jumping the gun and calling the cops, leaving her suspicious.

Paul convinces Vinny to discharge himself from hospital and later at the farm Vinny attempts to shrug off Liv's questioning and stick to Paul's story. Soon Paul arrives on the scene and menacingly tells Liv to get off their backs, or else. Feeling he's no other choice, Vinny ends their relationship.

Meanwhile, Aaron has once again allowed himself to be sweet-talked by Mack and agrees to another job, but it's soon clear he's up to his old tricks when they find themselves on a lay-by loading up dodgy TVs. The police arrive on the scene and Mack legs it, leaving Aaron to explain the scene.

Faith is determined to make her presence felt and lays on the domestic goddess act thick, adamant that Tracy shouldn't lift a finger.

Jimmy has been growing increasingly concerned about the anonymous negative reviews about the haulage firm cropping up online. Frustrated that Nicola doesn't understand the seriousness of it, the couple end up fighting, while Juliette's P.I looks on.

Andrea tells Jamie that she wants Dale View in the divorce settlement so that she and Millie can have some financial security, but Kim isn't having it and accuses her of being a gold digger.

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

Harriet Finch has decided to turn herself into the police for the murder of D.I Malone, prepared to face both the mortal and divine consequences for her sins.

But Will Taylor convinces D.I Swirling that her confession is the result of her mental illness, and with Harriet's revelation thwarted, she seeks to absolve herself through other means.

Kim isn't having Andrea's demands

Meanwhile, Faith Dingle can't help but notice that Mackenzie Boyd acts strangely when asked about his mother and wonders what dirt she can dig up, but soon Cain Dingle has pipped her to the post.

Vinny Dingle's distrust of Paul Ashdale continues to grow as his wedding to his mum Mandy draws nearer, but will he confront him?

Charity Dingle signs over the pub to Marlon Dingle and Jimmy King still doesn't know he's being watched...
