Emmerdale is lining up three huge new storylines for 2023, including a huge Samson Dingle twist.
One character will face depression as he spirals after a recent betrayal, and it leads to him reconnecting with an ex.
Elsewhere, two villagers find their baby secret finally out in the open - potentially sending another character on a downward spiral.
There's blackmail, painful deception and all kinds of twists on the cards, as ongoing storylines explode and the truth comes out for some.
It all sends shockwaves around the village in the coming months, with families at risk of being torn apart - and it all seems to focus on the Dingles.
Paddy Kirk is still struggling with his wife Chas Dingle's affair with Al Chapman, and the fact she planned to leave him and flee the village with their young daughter Eve.
As Paddy spirals more and more into depression, he seeks solace in his ex and longtime friend Mandy Dingle.
His ex wife is there for him in the coming weeks and months, but as they take a trip down memory lane old passions are reawakened and they soon find themselves falling into bed together.
Will this leave Paddy feeling further isolated, or will he finally have someone to turn to in Mandy?
Elsewhere, Samson appears to plot revenge on Noah Dingle as he spots a scheme after some big news.
Following Noah finding out he has inherited a load of money from his aunt Zoe Tate, after she set up a trust fund for him, the news reaches Samson.
Samson is still angry at Noah after he got with Amelia Spencer and agreed to help raise her baby daughter.
Fans will know Samson is the father of the baby, but he cruelly told Amelia to abort their child and refused to be a part of her life.
While this is still up in the air, with Samson appearing to come round to the baby, he could be about to jeopardise everything.
Noah generously suggests setting up a trust fund for baby Esther using some of the money from Zoe, and Samson senses a scheme.
Soon enough, Noah finds himself blackmailed for money while details on this are being kept under wraps.
What is known is Samson’s scheming won’t just impact Noah, as it could also compromise his entire family.
Finally, Charity Dingle will finally find out her partner Mackenzie Boyd cheated on her with Chloe Harris, who is now pregnant with his baby.
As their wedding day looms, it's been revealed the baby secret will finally be exposed.
It’s only a matter of time before this baby bombshell explodes in Mack’s face, and we could see Charity revert to her old ways and hit the self-destruct button.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
