Why is Charity devastated in tonight's Emmerdale?
According to Digital Spy, Wednesday's episode (22 July)—already available on ITVX and YouTube ahead of the ITV1 airing—centres on Charity's latest meeting with Helen.
Mack worries Charity may have been given false hope after Helen, one of Dr Todd's other victims, visits the village. Helen speaks about Todd's crime and the lasting impact on her life. Then she delivers the blow: she has decided not to go to the police after all, even though she knows it could help Charity's case.
That setback lands after earlier police news left Charity reeling. On Monday, DS Reid told Charity and Mack the CPS was dropping the case against Todd due to insufficient evidence, as reported by the Daily Star. Helen's refusal compounds that fight for justice.
What bad news hits Cain and Kyle?
Kyle is struggling to master skills at Cadets and fears he is falling behind the other boys. He asks Cain for help but gets dismissive responses. Cain is keeping Kyle and Moira at a distance while he focuses on getting help for Monty the dog.
