Victoria Barton gets a serious case of the green-eyed-monster next week when a girl pays attention to Matty at Ross Barton’s party.
Victoria spots the girl making eyes at Matty as feels uncomfortable with the situation.
And when the girl suggests going back to her place, Matty’s left feeling uncomfortable too.
Will this be the kick Vic needs to finally confess how she feels about Matty?
Emmerdale fans have been hoping the pair would get together since Matty arrived back in the village in June.
They’ve taken to social media to talk about the spark they think they have spotted.
Transgender Matty – who was last seen in the village as Hannah Barton – has stayed away from his family as he transitioned.
But he returned to Emmerdale after six years away to get his birth certificate.
Rather than knock on the door, he broke into his former home and was caught by step-dad Cain Dingle, who didn’t recognise him.
After being kicked out by his mum, who struggled to come to terms with his new identity, Matty found a place to stay in Victoria’s van.
And when they came face to face, viewers saw sparks fly.
Victoria is married to Matty’s brother Adam, but the pair are estranged as he is currently on the run from prison.
Despite the obstacles between them, fans believe a relationship is budding.
One said: “I’m calling it now. A Matty/Victoria romance as he reminds her of all Adams’ good points.”
Another said: “Why have I got a feeling Matty and Victoria will end up together?”

Newcomer Ash Palmisciano is Emmerdale’s first regular transgender cast member.
Speaking about his arrival, Ash recently said: “I’m very excited to be joining the very welcoming Emmerdale family.
“From nervous auditions to now working alongside the team daily has been truly amazing.
“Matty’s a groundbreaking character to play and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead for him.”
