Wow, what a turn of events! If you're a fan of Emmerdale, you'll definitely want to keep reading. We have some major spoilers ahead from an upcoming episode that hasn't even aired on ITV yet, but is already available to watch on ITVX. So if you don't want to know what's coming, you might want to stop here.
Are you sitting down? Because we can hardly believe it ourselves - Tina Dingle is back in Emmerdale! You heard that right, Tina, the daughter of Zak and Nellie Dingle, has returned after being absent for over 20 years. And to make things even more exciting, she's now played by Samantha Power, taking over the role from Jacqueline Pirie.
In tonight's episode, the villagers gather at the pub to say their final goodbyes to Zak, who tragically passed away earlier this week. As expected, the Dingle family makes for a chaotic and emotional funeral. And with Zak's passing, Cain is feeling the pressure of being the eldest member of the family.
But wait, it gets even more shocking. After the wake, Zak's body is moved to the Dingle land for burial. And just as the family is about to lay him to rest, they are interrupted by none other than Tina herself. It's been almost 30 years since she was last seen in the Dales, so when she sees Belle, she has no idea she's looking at her little sister.
Tina claims she has returned to pay her respects to Zak, but the rest of the family is not exactly welcoming. They believe she has no right to be there, considering she made no effort to stay in touch with them over the years. But Tina makes it clear that she knows a lot about her family, thanks to Mandy.
As tensions rise, Tina's presence causes quite a stir in the village. Even Charity and Chas try to get her to leave, but she refuses to budge. And when she starts judging her family, Lydia has had enough and pushes Tina into a pile of mud. But as she falls, Charity notices a tag on Tina's ankle, revealing that she has a criminal record just like the Dingles.
Before she can leave, two police officers arrive and inform Tina that she won't be able to remove her tag until tomorrow, meaning she has broken the rules. As she's taken away, Tina warns her family that this is not over. So now the question remains, how much trouble will Tina bring to the village?
It's certainly been quite a week for the villagers, with the loss of Zak and now the unexpected return of Tina. And who knows what other surprises are in store for our beloved characters.
