Kirin Kotecha is going to make Charity Dingle pay!
Newly returned Kirin Kotecha (Rish Shah) blackmails Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings) and leaves her reeling.
After being on the run for the past two years, Kirin Kotecha, the father of Vanessa Woodfield's (Michelle Hardwick) son Johnny, showed up out of the blue in yesterday’s episode and demanded Priya Sharma (Fiona Wade) give him some money which she refused to do.
Tonight Al Chapman (Michael Fielding) notices that Priya seems distracted but when he asks her what’s wrong she snaps at him.
Later on Priya is approached by Kirin again, this time asking to see his son Johnny. Priya tells him that that’s not going to happen and breaks the news that Charity Dingle, is now officially adopting Johnny.
Kirin is left reeling by the adoption news and says he will forbid it from happening. With Priya still refusing to give him any money, Kirin says he’ll get the money himself from Charity!
Meanwhile Charity, who still has no idea about Kirin’s sudden return, is going full steam ahead with the adoption plans and is full of optimism when she tells Tracy Mecalfe (Amy Walsh) that she’s now passed all of her background checks for the process.
However, she’s soon floored when Kirin emerges from the woodwork and tells Charity he’ll make it impossible for her to adopt Johnny unless she hands over a huge sum of cash to him.
Charity is thrust into turmoil by Kirin's blackmail demands. Will she give him the money to send him packing?

Being cruel to be kind Dawn tells Billy that she never loved him. Will Billy accept that they are over for good?
