The village gossips go into overdrive after hearing all the shocking details of Mark Wylde's double life. And him the perfect picture of a country gentleman, too! Who knew what and when and for how long is the subject of much debate… Just how innocent is Natasha? Did she really not know about Faye and Ryan's existence for all those years? And as for Faye… Was this just some elaborate plan of hers to get her hands on the Wylde family fortune? If it was it backfired because now Mark has gone. Or did it? Who benefits from his estate? Family Number One: Faye and Ryan? Or deceived family Number Two: Natasha, Nathan, Maisie and Will? While the villagers gossip, The Wylde's and the Lambs start to deal with the fall-out of Mark's duplicitous behaviour. Will Faye and Ryan stay in Emmerdale? Will Maisie now stay away from Ryan? Will Natasha sell up Home Farm and take her children as far away from Emmerdale as possible? So many questions and no easy answers... One thing is for sure: Nicola won't let bigamous marriages and near-incestuous relationships stand in the way of baby Angelica’s christening.
