The Sugden siblings are in a mess in Monday's episode of Emmerdale (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

So Robert Sugden has returned to the village and made it clear he's sticking around.

But his brother John, who's just married Robert's ex-husband Aaron, is not having any of it.

Determined to get shot of his love rival, John goes around ruining Robert's chances, insisting, for example, that Caleb retract his offer of trial employment.

When he clocks Vic's black eye, and learns Robert's responsible for their sister's bruising, John totally loses it.

Meanwhile, Vic is stuck in the middle of her brothers' war and is worried about them both.

With John out to paint Robert in a bad light and Robert (rightly) convinced that John is a secret psycho, how will Vic handle the bitter battle? Is she going to end up taking sides? (And will she pick the right one?)

Elsewhere, Jacob makes a mistake he lives to regret when he innocently mentions Sarah's IVF to Cain.

It's news to Cain that his granddaughter has started taking steps towards having IVF to become a mum.

Sarah is then forced to have a frank chat with Cain who's worried for his granddaughter who has life-limiting disease Fanconi anaemia.

Cain doesn't handle it too well with Sarah who's left upset by his angry reaction and then starts to doubt herself.

Later, as she offloads to Jacob, her med student ex is given food for thought…

There's more angst heading Cain's way when Belle asks Tracy about Nate's funeral plans.

Having heard Tracy making the arrangements, she asks her if she's had a change of heart about allowing Cain to attend.

The conversation goes south when well-meaning Belle reasons that no one knows who killed Nate.

Her comment ignites angry Tracy who feels as if Belle is accusing her of Nate's murder.

Fed up to the back teeth of the family, Tracy then decides to ban the entire Dingle clan!
