The ITV soap will be gearing up for a super summer of twists, turns, returns and more, setting up a dramatic autumn in the Yorkshire village.
From Aaron (played by Danny Miller) and John's (Oliver Farnworth) wedding drama to a mysterious story for beloved Bear (Joshua Richards), there's going to be plenty to keep us glued to screens in the coming weeks and months.
Read on for your summer preview for Emmerdale...
1. Bear's big storyline
The spotlight will be on Bear this summer and into the autumn, with a dramatic storyline proving to be life-changing for the character. Emmerdale has remained tight-lipped on what exactly will happen to Bear, but has teased it's very different for the beloved resident.
Consider us intrigued!
2. Sarah's baby twist
While she couldn't say much, Shaw explained that there are going to be twists and turns along the way, with "big ruptures in the whole family" as a result.
Will Sarah get the baby she so desperately wants?
3. Dylan returns - what does he want?
"He's going to be bringing his past to the village with him," Shaw teased. "That's going to cause huge problems for April and the wider family there."
With April getting back on track after her ordeal, will this arrival set her back?
4. Lewis Barton causes chaos
While the exact reasons for Lewis's appearance are hidden so far, Shaw explained "this character was definitely created just for Bradley", and Lewis will "bring chaos" to the village.
5. Aaron and Mack's life-changing drama
"Don't worry, we have not forgotten about it... it might happen here, we shall see!" Shaw said.
We can't wait!
6. Aaron and John's wedding drama
"John is full of trepidation heading into his wedding, worrying about all his secrets that might exposed along the way," Shaw explained. "We'll see the wedding play out across the whole week - Monday to Friday is one day. We've got some stylistic fun in there with some of John's nightmares, and we see potential things that might happen..."
RadioTimes.com was privy to a flavour of the action from this big week for John and Aaron and believe us: it's unmissable.
7. Aidan comes out of his coma
"I can tell you he's absolutely not going to be in that coma forever," Shaw confirmed. "So if he does wake up, what secrets could he come back with? Is he going to walk in and ruin the wedding? We'll have to see..." But that's not the worst of John's problems, perhaps...
8. Nate's grizzly discovery
"He knows the body is going to come up – is he going to make it to his vows? Is he going to be arrested?" Shaw pondered. "With Nate and Aidan both threatening to ruin the day for John and put everything with Aaron at risk, what lengths is John going to be pushed to to try and avoid that happening?"
9. Joe Tate's enemy list grows to deadly levels
Shaw teased: "As soon as he arrived in the show, he already had quite a few enemies straight away – but in the run-up to this, we'll see that he manages to recruit quite a few more enemies as well. By the time we get to [Lydia's birthday party], that list has grown and grown and grown... There are a lot of daggers drawn and a lot of people looking at Joe Tate, wanting him dead. I can tell you one person definitely will be getting their revenge on Joe Tate."
