There's huge moments in store for Emmerdale fans next week, with twists, discoveries and possible secrets exposed. There's two big episodes, as two different characters take centre stage. We finally find out all about Robert Sugden's six-year prison ordeal, as he's not revealed everything that went on it seems. Expect twists and turns, with the cast hinting at unexpected moments that even they were kept in the dark about. The spoiler for this episode simply says it's a special episode that airs on Wednesday next week, where Robert opens up about his past life in prison. A picture for the week sees him being comforted by his sister Victoria Sugden and his soulmate Aaron Dingle, while Robert's husband Kev looks devastated about something - so what is revealed in the episode? We can confirm that Kev features in it, and we see Robert and Kev in prison, as well as it focusing on Robert's time inside from 2021 until his release this year. It's all being kept under wraps but there's bound to be bombshells and some revelations. Whether Robert opens up to Aaron or Victoria or someone else, or even Kev, is not shared, but the picture hints it could be the former two. As for the second huge episode that week, Bear's whereabouts are finally revealed as well as his storyline. He gets a standalone episode that finally tells viewers what "uncontrollable situation" he has faced alone for months. We saw him flee the village around July, and it was clear something was wrong. Bear was acting out, lashing out at people and he seemed forgetful and confused. Amid fears for his health, he fled and lied about where he was going. Next week we find out what has gone on in the days since his exit, and where he is now. The spoiler teases a "descent into hard times" as we find out what's really been going on for the past few months. We also see his son Paddy Kirk preparing to report his dad Bear's disappearance to the police. But when it's claimed he's not an immediate risk, Paddy and wife Mandy Dingle decide to take matters into their own hands. But when Paddy's daughter Eve is convinced she's seen her missing grandfather during a walk in the woods, Matty is convinced she's gotten confused because they're playing a bear hunt game. But has Eve really seen Bear? Finally next week, Charity Dingle's baby lie could be exposed. As Ross Barton, the real father of her unborn baby, continues to cause chaos and grows closer to her husband Mack Boyd, Charity is alarmed when Mack says he and Ross tell each other everything. So will Ross tell him about his fling with Charity, and his suspicions that the baby she is carrying is his child? Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
