In a shocking turn of events on the July 5th episode of Emmerdale, Josh’s actions are under intense scrutiny as suspicions mount regarding his role in the ongoing Matty Barton storyline. Since arriving in the village with Samson Dingle, Josh has been a disruptive influence.

Josh defends his presence, citing Samson’s continued employment as proof of who is telling the truth about the incident. He then drops the bombshell that he and Samson are accelerating their plans to leave for Europe, disregarding the upcoming trial where Josh is expected to testify.
