Next week's Emmerdale episodes include a surprise arrival for one family, a departure from the village and a secret kiss.
Here's a full collection of 9 big storylines you can look forward to.
1. Jessie lashes out
Next week Jessie makes a shock move by resigning from her job as headteacher at the school and her situation goes from bad to worse.
Humiliated about her job woes, Jessie drowns her sorrows but is soon confronted by an accusing Nicola, who has a lot to say about what happened with Maya. Feeling backed into a corner, Jessie lashes out, delivering some angry home truths about the children of the village.
Marlon is quick to escort Jessie away, but is horrified as she continues her outburst, this time directed at him. As Jessie blames Marlon for her tirade in the pub, her anger doesn't fade even as they walk home with Billy and Ellis in tow, but the family are being watched from afar by a mysterious figure…
2. Al arrives
Ellis's dad arrives in the village next week, played by Harry Potter's Michael Wildman, and he's expected to "ruffle a few feathers" in Ellis's life.
What to Read Next
Al's arrival comes as a surprise to the whole household and begins when Ellis has a new potential client to meet. There he comes face to face with a figure from his past – his dad.
Later at April's birthday party, Ellis tries to tell Jessie about his surprise meeting, but they're interrupted by a car horn and he heads outside. When Jessie sees the mysterious arrival, she reveals to Marlon that the man is Al, Ellis's dad.
The question is, why has Al turned up in the village and will he get a warm welcome?

Faith won't give up on her mission to cheer up Zak. The two strike up a conversation about their shared history with stories that manage to lift Zak's mood. As they reminisce, there's a brief kiss between them and they narrowly miss being caught as the door springs open and the others return home.
