Emmerdale's Val Pollard returns to the village unexpectedly in tonight's (May 24) double bill of the soap - and immediately finds herself at the centre of a huge row.

Val (Charlie Hardwick) assumes that she can pick up where she left off with Eric and Amy following her three-month break in Portugal, but the reception she gets at home is far from what she expected.

Arriving back to see her family sharing lunch with Brenda and Gennie, a shameless Val thanks them for the "welcome home feast".

However, Eric and Amy soon make it clear to Val that things have moved on in her absence - and they haven't forgiven her for walking out on them. How will Val react to the news that Brenda and Eric are now an item?

Nikhil rushes over to Eric's to warn Gennie, but doesn't get there in time and everyone is shocked as Val walks in closely after his arrival

Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm and 8pm on ITV1.
