Emmerdale favourite Robert Sugden declares war on the Tates next week, after he and his sister Victoria are pushed to breaking point by

wicked Joe. Vic is already crippled with guilt over their plan to sell Butler’s Farm to Joe, after he threatened to release footage of her killing her dangerous brother John, but a new discovery makes things much worse.

 

 

When Victoria learns that Robert went so far as to plant evidence on Moira Dingle – which has since resulted in her being framed for double murder – Vic is horrified…

“Victoria already hates herself for what she did to John, never mind the fact that she and Robert are now complicit in sending Moira down,” shares our Emmerdale insider.

“Prior to discovering Robert’s treachery, Vic considers confessing all to Cain about her role in John’s death and the pressure she’s under from Joe.

“But the jaw-dropping revelation that Robert has helped to seal Moira’s fate puts a spanner in the works…”

The hideous truth emerges as the authorities rule that John died by suicide. As Vic struggles with her guilt, Joe tightens his grip on Robert and pressures him to speed up the farm sale – threatening to plant evidence of his own to incriminate Moira if Robert doesn’t comply. However, as their clandestine conversation is taking place, Victoria overhears everything.

Disgusted by what she’s heard, Victoria confronts Robert, who confirms that Joe would have thrown her to the wolves had he not planted Celia Daniels’s damning documents at Moira’s.

With that, Victoria attempts to stand up to Joe – even declaring that she’ll hand herself into the police to save Moira – but she’s out of her depth…

“Vic tries to stall Joe by taking the paperwork away with her to read, but he’s having none of it,” reveals our source. “He tells Victoria to deliver the signed contract with Moira’s signature within six hours, or he’ll hand the video of her killing John over to the police.”

Defeated Victoria visits Moira in prison and reveals her wish to sell Butler’s, claiming that the farm has become impossible to manage. The news is crushing for Moira, who has battled for so long to keep her beloved business afloat.

However, with very few options left, Moira eventually agrees to let go. But will she still want to sell up once she knows that the buyer’s name is Tate?

It’s just as Moira’s about to sign on the dotted line that Vic reveals the identity of the farm’s soon-to-be new owners, which is the icing on a very salty cake for Moira after years of batting off numerous attempts made by the Tates to get their mitts on her land.

However, even if Moira is at the point of admitting defeat, Robert isn’t going down without a fight.

“The week ends with Robert on his knees in Annie’s Field vowing not to be beaten,” reveals our spy. “He’s determined to restore the Sugden name to its former glory – but will that mean going into battle with the Tates?

“If the old, wily Robert Sugden has anything to do with it, Joe had better watch his back…”
