Emmerdale’s Emma Barton is left well and truly freaked out next week when she seemingly gets some beyond-the-grave communication from dead James Barton.
It turns out, it’s Gabby Thomas trying to frighten her after discovering Emma destroyed the tapes of her dad.
But with Emma already on a knife edge, is this enough to make her lash out and kill again – this time with Gabby in her sights?

Turning child killer might seem a pretty grim prospect, but Gillian Kearney, who plays Emma, has warned we shouldn’t rule anything out.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, she said: “The audience will be worried for Gabby, because Emma can’t be pushed too far before she snaps.
“It’s not coming from a place of evil, but she’s very volatile and you just never know what she’s going to do next.”
Gabby’s recently returned home from a trip abroad and has been shocked to discover what has come to light while she’s been away.
She’s particularly outraged on hearing what scheming Emma has put Laurel and Arthur through and promises her brother that she’ll deal with Emma from now on.
But what’s she got up her sleeve?
First of all, Emma is shaken when she discovers a prayer card on James’ grave. She becomes convinced that he’s sending her messages from the other side.
However, when Ross and Pete find out about it, Ross is convinced that Laurel is behind it. He confronts her in the Woolie, but Laurel fiercely denies it leaving Emma in no doubt that James is trying to scare her.
A delighted Gabby soon realises that her plan is taking shape and tells Arthur she was behind the prayer card – and that she has more in store for Emma.
But has Gabby got any idea who she’s dealing with?
When Laurel heads off to stay with her sister, Gabby uses the opportunity to really rattle Emma. She comes up with a plan and asks Arthur to help her.
Arthur tells Emma he had a dream where Ashley told him to be nice to her and Emma, certain she’s receiving messages from the spirit world, believes every word.
Gabby takes things a little bit too far though when she starts ‘haunting’ Emma via walkie-talkie power. Emma realises she’s been had when she finds the teen’s crucifix.
