What is wrong with Mary's hand in Emmerdale? Mystery bandage sparks concern
Mary Goskirk on Emmerdale, played by actress Louise Jameson, sparked concern on Friday night after appearing onscreen for the first time in a while.
As she appeared, it was noticeable that she had a bandage wrapped around her hand and lower arm. Mary kept holding her hand up and was fiddling with the bandage, not really able to use the hand while serving behind the bar of The Woolpack.
It was while serving customer Jacob Gallagher that he got concerned for the character. The medical student asked Mary what had happened to her hand, and how she had injured herself.
Mary explained that she'd fallen down the last couple of steps of the staircase at home, no doubt hitting or landing on the arm. She didn't say specially what the injury was or if it was broken or sprained.
What she did say though was that she was fine after the fall, and would need a few weeks of rest before she could get the bandages off. Jacob appeared alarmed though, offering to take a look at the injury.

Mary downplayed it all though and declined his offer saying it was not necessary. She said it was "alright" and just needed a few weeks to heal, before thanking him.
She seemed keen to brush it under the carpet while it was clear Jacob was worried. It wasn't made clear if Mary went to hospital or a doctor to get it checked out, or if she bandaged it up herself.
It's likely nothing to worry about and not part of a storyline, but fans will no doubt be questioning the random scene. Perhaps actress Louise sustained an injury away from the show and it was written into the episode.
This often happens, and just recently on Coronation Street Kit Green actor Jacob Roberts had surgery on his leg and it was seemingly written into the show. There have been many other instances over the years where an injury or something else is written in.
Not too long ago recently murdered character Nate Robinson was shown wearing a sling on his arm after an injury, while it was actually linked to a real-life injury or operation. Mary's scenes in the pub saw the moment Jacob Gallagher and Sarah Sugden's engagement was announced.
Mary was quick to congratulate the couple, while Victoria Sugden was surprised by her ex and her niece's big news. Victoria admitted she was stunned given Sarah was recently with Kammy and they'd not been back together long, leading to Jacob saying it felt right as he knew he was with the right person.

Fresh heartbreak for Debbie confirmed in Coronation Street as she makes a plea
2025 has not been the year Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) expected in Coronation Street. When she went to the doctor earlier this year after experiencing some troubling symptoms – forgetfulness, mood swings, blackouts – she expected to be told it was menopause-related. What she was told instead was devastating. Debbie has young-onset dementia, and her symptoms will gradually get worse. At first she tried to carry on as normal without telling anyone. Only her brother Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) knew about her diagnosis, and he found out by chance and agreed to keep her secret. But as Debbie found herself experiencing more worrying episodes she eventually came clean to her family. Generally she's been met with a lot of support and understanding, and she's reconciled with former partner Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) who she pushed away because she couldn't cope with the idea of him seeing her deteriorate. Aside from Ronnie, Debbie's main supporters have been her family and she's been especially happy to have Carl back in her life. Carl was largely brought up in Germany and didn't have much contact with Kevin (Michael Le Vell) over the years, although he and Debbie were a lot closer. She's been glad to have Carl around, as he's also been there to support Kevin who was undergoing cancer treatment. So when Debbie faces losing Carl from her life in upcoming episodes, she's not happy at all. Carl gets himself into hot water with Kevin when his brother (and boss) discovers that he's been running a stolen car scam from the garage. In return, Carl discovers that Kevin has been lying about his cancer treatment not working, when in fact he's been declared to be free of cancer following chemotherapy. It's a messy situation, and messier still when Abi (Sally Carman) hears about Kevin's lies from Tyrone (Alan Halsall). Kev pleads that he only made out he needed more cancer treatment because he was so scared that Abi was about to leave him for Carl and he wanted a way to make her stay. This has the effect of infuriating Abi so much that she feels disgusted with Kevin, knowing how he tried to manipulate her emotions and was prepared to let his kids think he still had cancer.

More Trending Kevin can't cope with having Carl around and sacks him from the garage, saying he can't trust him. With no job and with the complications of his feelings for Abi, Carl decides it might be best if he moves on. Debbie, however, isn't prepared to let her brother leave Weatherfield without trying to persuade him to stay. She doesn't know what her future is going to look like, but she wants her family around her as much as possible. View More » For Debbie's sake, will Carl agree to stay?
