Two characters are set to go through a troubling period on Emmerdale next week, with a “devastating” revelation connected to a character’s health crisis.

Spoilers for the upcoming ITV episodes, revealed earlier this week, show that beloved character Liam Cavanagh is anxious about a possible diagnosis. Liam’s worry regarding a health matter has him dreading he might have cancer.

Before long, the GP is compelled to reveal everything to his anxious fiancée Chas Dingle, leaving her “devastated” upon discovering what her partner has been enduring alone.

The drama unfolds after this week’s scenes, which saw Liam caught urinating at the allotments by Claudette Anderson, as reported by the Mirror.

He was obliged to clarify that he’s been experiencing difficulties, unable to manage when he ‘relieves himself’. Claudette encouraged Liam to seek medical attention, though next week he continues to dodge this.

Spoilers have revealed that Claudette confronts Liam, insisting he must attend his prostate appointment. With Liam delaying and dodging the appointment, Claudette repeatedly urges him throughout the week to reschedule it.

He persuades her to cancel the original appointment, and refuses to rebook whilst ignoring what’s happening. Eventually, another person discovers what Liam is confronting, as his colleague Manpreet Sharma witnesses a desperate Liam ‘relieving himself’.

She senses something is seriously not adding up and questions him about it, ultimately uncovering the truth. Liam attempts to brush it all aside but Manpreet encourages him to confront his health concerns, with him also recognising he must inform his partner Chas as well.

He confesses to Chas who is left “devastated” to discover Liam worries he might have prostate cancer. Crushed that Liam hadn’t opened up to her, she does her utmost to support Liam.

But will Liam be alright, as he finally consents to an appointment to discover what’s happening? It arrives during a turbulent period for Chas and Liam, following Chas’ son Aaron Dingle nearly being murdered by his husband John Sugden.

John has at last been unmasked as a villain, with it now revealed he framed Ella Forster for the harassment campaign targeting Chas and Liam.

John orchestrated the entire scheme prior to their planned wedding, aiming to portray himself as the hero and to drive Ella from the village following her heartbreak over the couple’s union.
