Emmerdale star to stage unexpected return after 5 years
A former Emmerdale character is reportedly heading back to the village for Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) funeral.
Carryl is set to reprise her role as Cara – Nate's mum – next month.
Cara hasn't been in the Dales for five years, but she was briefly mentioned a couple of weeks ago, when Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) spoke to her about their son's murder.
The brief phone call allowed us to discover Cara still hugely dislikes Cain. This will make for interesting viewing soon, as both Cain and Nate's partner Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) have been accused of killing him.
'Nate's death has been heartbreaking for his family and with the truth hidden the Dingles and Tracy are more divided than ever. Cara returns to say goodbye to her son and walks straight into the middle of it all', a source told The Sun.
'She's going to have a few choice words for her ex Cain as she tries to understand what really happened to Nate. Carryl jumped at the chance to reprise her role after five years to do justice to the storyline.'
Nate was killed by John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) last year, but this wasn't confirmed until April 2025.
In an episode that featured flashback scenes, it was established that John lives with a hero complex. He orchestrates terrible situations and then steps in to fix them, looking like a great person in front of the Emmerdale residents.
When it comes to Nate, John attempted to help him after he was attacked by Cain. He gave Nate some medication but he reacted badly to it, leading to his death.
As it stands, John is doing a very good job at hiding in the shadows while the police continue their investigation into Nate's murder.

In the past few days, focus has been on the funeral and Cain trying to come to terms with the fact he isn't invited.
Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) attempted to step in and help, believing she could get Tracy to change her mind.

Unfortunately, Tracy misinterpreted what Belle was saying at one point, leading to her banning the entire Dingle family from the funeral afterwards.

Huge Emmerdale exit as beloved character is ordered to move out
Things have been strained between Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) and Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) since Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) left the house in Emmerdale, and a violent attack is set to tip things over the edge. Paddy and Bear have butted heads since Bear left Eve playing with some dangerous sleeping pills, and Paddy saw his carelessness as a threat to Eve's life. They came to verbal blows again when Bear played the inconsiderate housemate by trying to fix his bike all over the house. While anyone on the outside looking in can see something is up with Bear, Paddy is simply growing more and more frustrated. They find common ground again and seem to be getting along, and when Paddy suffers a vicious dog attack while saving a sheep, Bear comes to his rescue and saves the day. The attack is bad; Paddy is mauled and needs surgery. Having fought off the dog, Bear gets his son to hospital and anxiously waits with Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) for news. Paddy pulls through, but instead of relief, Bear unleashes a torrent of abuse on his son and his son's character. Mandy makes him leave, but the damage is done. Bear's words wound him more than the dog's teeth, and once home and well enough, he grabs his vets' gun and heads off to Celia's farm and confronts her about her dog – which is something Bear tells him to do. But the confrontation goes about as well as Bear's post-surgery pep talk. Paddy spirals and his birthday is a non-event due to his low mood. He confronts Bear over his bad advice and the fallout is catastrophic. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

Paddy harshly berates Bear for his treatment of him and then he snaps – ordering Bear to move out for good. Their relationship is done. More Trending But with something clearly brewing with Bear, will fragile Paddy be left with the guilt of the way he's now treated his dad when whatever it is comes to light? Teasing the arrival of new character Celia, played by Jaye Griffiths, Dominic Brunt said: 'I don't think anybody's come across anyone like Celia before! She's brilliant. She's a true baddie. And in the same way that like classic baddies, like Kim Tate, for example, the way that they actually enjoy being a baddie, the reason they are a villain is because they enjoy being a villain, you know, not because they have any choice, but they enjoy it. And she's got that, you know, she really likes toying with people. View More » 'She's got nothing to lose. She's in her own space and time, and she's in charge, and you'll never get one past her.'

Among the pics, Lottie is seen sharing a hug with Louis and Lewis in the Worthy Farm field, while another showed Lottie and Zara sharing a hug in front of one of the Glastonbury stages.

Samantha Womack slams 'rejection' from soap bosses over EastEnders exit
Actress Samantha Womack has opened up on her exit from EastEnders as she revealed it was not her decision to say goodbye to her beloved Ronnie Mitchell role Samantha Womack has hit out at soap bosses for being "rejected" as she reflected on her exit from EastEnders. The actress, who won over fans with her portrayal of Ronnie Mitchell, made her debut on the BBC soap in 2007. She appeared alongside Rita Simons, who played her close sister Roxy. Tragically, the beloved sister duo were brutally killed off after Ronnie's second wedding to Jack Branning. The decision for both Ronnie and Roxy to bow out of Albert Square came when Sean O'Connor took over as executive producer. Now, Samantha has revealed she felt "rejected" by the new boss as she confessed it was not her or Rita's decision to leave the soap. She admitted: "I don't really understand what happened, one producer was leaving and another was coming in, I don't know what went on." Leaving Walford felt like Samantha was "losing a family" as she struggled to come to terms with life without it. Samantha compared the loss to a "bereavement" and revealed it made her lose "stability". "But the thing that was the most painful - and it really was painful - was that me and Rita loved feeling like we belonged there," she told the Daily Mail. "Then to be rejected, and I know that's emotional but that's what it was, it hit us both so hard." However, Samantha has been able to look at it differently now time has passed. She said she is now thankful as leaving the soap opened up doors for other opportunities. Since leaving EastEnders, the actress has focused on her theatre career and landed a number of high profile roles. In 2019, she travelled around the UK for The Girl on the Train and also played Morticia Addams in the musical, The Addams Family. She has since moved to Valencia. However, things haven't been easy for Samantha as she underwent gruelling treatment for breast cancer after being diagnosed in August 2022, which has changed her outlook on life. 'I feel so much more enlightened,' she told the Mirror. 'I know myself better, I feel humbler, I feel calmer.' Samantha added: 'After my year-and-a-half of treatment, I started turning down a lot of stuff – and I didn't have the bank balance to match that confidence, trust me." Having announced she was cancer-free in December 2022, Samantha explained: 'It was me saying the word 'no' and my bank account creaking. "But there was empowerment in that because I thought, 'OK, I need to go through this, spend time with myself and figure out stuff that I've never figured out – maybe stuff I've buried under a rug.'' Samantha learned she had a fast-spreading, Grade 3 invasive duct carcinoma and her treatment – a lumpectomy and lymph node removal, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy – couldn't wait.
