Monday 9th March 7pm
Maisie (Alice Coulthard) is unnerved that Nathan’s (Lyndon Ogbourne) career is soaring whilst hers languishes at the Woolpack. After speaking with Val (Charlie Hardwick) Maisie tells Mark (Maxwell Caulfield) that she is enjoying working at the pub and would love to be landlady. Mark is unsure and his hesitation upsets Maisie. Putting his reservations aside Mark shares Maisie’s aspirations with Val. She puts two and two together and tells Pollard (Chris Chittell) that Mark has offered to buy the Woolpack. The pair of them jump the gun and tell Mark to name his price, only for him to reject the opportunity. However, after watching Maisie excel on her day shift, Mark reconsiders. The sneaky trio agree not to share the secret, even with an unsuspecting Diane (Elizabeth Estensen). Can Val sell the Woolpack behind her sister’s back?
Meanwhile, Doug (Duncan Preston) has a thoroughly un-enjoyable day at the village fair as people firmly pigeonhole him as the village pariah. Left in charge of the Emmerdale Explorers stall and tasked with minding Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper), Will (Oscar Lloyd) and TJ (Connor Lee), Doug falls victim to a prank which allows the kids to make off with a large jar of sweets. Whilst messing around with the sweets, Will begins to choke and a furious Natasha (Amanda Donohoe) arrives just in time to dislodge it. After another knock to Doug’s faltering reputation, Sandy (Freddie Jones) advises him to act. Feeling guilty, Doug make it clear to Bob (Tony Audenshaw) that he would be a fool not to sell to Brenda (Lesley Dunlop) just because of village gossip and advises him to change his mind. Will Bob take the suggestion on board?

Tuesday 10 March 7pm
Maisie (Alice Coulthard) is delighted at the prospect of becoming the landlady of the Woolpack and buys into Val’s (Charlie Hardwick) plan to persuade Diane (Elizabeth Estensen) she is too old and tired to run the place and will therefore sell to Mark (Maxwell Caulfield). After procuring some tablets from Nathan (Lyndon Ogbourne), Maisie makes Diane a drink having crushed the medication in. However, Val drinks the tea instead and Maisie’s plan fails. When she notices Val asleep on the sofa Maisie mistakenly believes she’s killed her boss and throws a vase of water in Val’s face, instantly waking her sleeping employer. Diane finds the whole incident hilarious whereas the co-conspirators are forced to go back to the drawing board. Will Maisie and Val outwit Diane?
Elsewhere, Chas (Lucy Pargeter) decides to have a talk with Aaron (Danny Miller) when she notices he’s become closer to Victoria (Isabel Hodgins). She’s satisfied with Aaron’s explanation but the same cannot be said for Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) and Daz (Luke Tittensor). Daz is not impressed to see that Victoria is developing feelings for Aaron. Back at Butlers Andy lectures Victoria about the danger of getting close to the Dingles in the midst of his problems with the family. Daz warns Victoria to back off and she’s pleased to notice jealousy in his words. Will Victoria stay away from Aaron?
Also, Lexi (Sally Oliver) is left with a sour taste in her mouth when Carl (Tom Lister) mentions that the wedding is way down his list of priorities. She decides to plough on with the preparations without him. However, when her wish list comes to an extravagant cost she is forced to re-evaluate her expectations and purchase from an auction website. Lexi returns home delighted to have reduced the cost to three grand, but she still can’t raise any enthusiasm from her fiancé. Does Carl really want to marry Lexi?

While Andy drags his sister home Aaron watches, confident that the kiss will lead to more. That evening Andy warns Victoria to stay away from Aaron or face the consequences. Victoria however has no intention of doing so and a text from Aaron requests another meeting. Is the feud between the Dingles and Sugdens about to step up a gear?
Meanwhile, Jamie (Alex Carter) deceives Betty (Paula Tilbrook) into thinking that further chutney orders are to be sent to Louise. However, his scheme soon starts to unravel when Betty notices a delivery of chutney at Home Farm. After giving Bob (Tony Audenshaw) a chance to admit what they’ve done, Betty decides that revenge is on the menu. She tells Jamie and Bob that Turner (Richard Thorp) has been taken ill because of a rogue batch of chutney and that they must get the produce back before Louise tastes it.

Elsewhere, Betty (Paula Tilbrook) turns the screw on Jamie (Alex Carter) and Bob (Tony Audenshaw) and gives them the killer chutney, having labelled them with messages of love to Louise.
