Emmerdale spoiler sees Lydia shaken as she faces blast from past

Emmerdale is set for explosive scenes next week when Lydia Dingle is left shaken to face a blast from her past. In upcoming scenes, Sam Dingle finds an old dolls house in a skip and he brings it home to do up for granddaughter Esther’s birthday to which it reminds Lydia of the one she had in the children’s home. As they work on the doll’s house, Lydia talks about the children’s home and her late son, Toby.

Fans will recall that Lydia was born as Jenny Finn but was placed into Hotten Grange children's home by her mum, who claimed at the time that she was too ill to look after her. When she was just 15, Lydia became pregnant and gave birth to a stillborn boy, who she buried in the woodland. Jenny later went missing and changed her name to Lydia.

Later in the week, despite everything to do with Dan Spencer, the Dingles celebrate Sam’s birthday. Elsewhere, Lydia starts to worry about her finances after Kim Tate rejects her proposal for more hours. Wanting to take on a second job, Lydia heads to the Hide recruitment fair in search of another job, which leaves Sam unhappy with the situation.

Things soon take an awkward turn when Lydia sees Kim arrive at the Hide recruitment fair, what will she say? However, this is the least of her problems as she's soon left utterly shaken to bump into a mystery man from her past. Having not seen her since the children’s home, Craig’s soon delighted to have found Lydia again.

Meanwhile, it's been a dramatic few weeks for Dan, who recently landed himself in serious trouble with the law after he punched his daughter Amelia Spencer's online stalker, Lloyd, which resulted in the latter being left in a coma in a hospital with a serious head injury.

Dan, who has been arrested and charged over the incident, headed to court on Thursday where he pleaded guilty to the charges against him in a shocking twist. However, what Dan didn't realise, is at the exact same time he pleaded guilty in court, Lloyd was pronounced dead in hospital.

On Friday's episode, Dan was taken to the police station where he was told Lloyd died due to a rebleed on the brain from the injury Dan had originally given him. He was then officially charged with "unlawfully killing" Lloyd, "contrary to common law".

He later told Amelia that he had been charged with manslaughter, he added: "I have to face up to the fact that one way or another, I'm going to prison. According to my solicitor, between three and eight years... it's okay love, I'll be fine, I can get through anything as long as I've got you and Esther."
