Emmerdale’s Home Farm hasn’t been the most comfortable place for young Clemmie Reed (Mabel Addison) recently – despite it being the most luxurious address in the village.
Ever since she saw her mum Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) kissing Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), and Joe threatened her to try and keep her silence, Clemmie has felt uncomfortable and unhappy in Joe’s presence.
After Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) moved out of the house and the stable family that she’d grown to rely on fell apart, Clemmie was so unhappy that she even tried to run away to the Dingles’ house, begging Sam (James Hooton) to let her stay.
Instead, Sam brought Joe over and he managed to win Clemmie’s trust to a certain extent by talking about his own feelings of being let out when he was a child. She agreed to return to Home Farm.
There’s still an uneasy atmosphere in the house, however, with tensions still high between Joe and Billy, and Dawn fighting her feelings for the kidney thief despite knowing the terrible things he’s done.
But when Clemmie’s upset when her top-of-the-range new phone vanishes in an upcoming episode, the culprit isn’t a resident of Home Farm at all. It’s Kammy (Shebz Miah).
We first met mechanic Kammy when he stole a quad bike from Butlers Farm, so we know he’s got form in the thievery department. Recently he appeared to have settled down to working with Cain (Jeff Hordley) and we haven’t heard much from him.
When Vinny (Bradley Johnson) forgets the anniversary of his and Gabby Thomas’ (Rosie Bentham) first kiss, he’s on the naughty step as far as Gabby is concerned. In an attempt to win her round, Vinny enlists Kammy’s help to set up a romantic evening for him and Gabby at the scrapyard.
This is not as random, or unromantic, as it sounds because the scrapyard was the venue for that first kiss a year ago.
But setting things up requires Vinny to send Kammy to Home Farm to pick up some essentials. Kammy is over-awed by the splendour of the swankiest address in the Dales, and when he spots Clemmie’s brand new phone he can’t resist, and grabs it. Later he calls a contact and organises selling the phone.
Meanwhile there’s mayhem at Home Farm when the phone is found to be missing. Joe Tate, always one to sense an opportunity, wastes no time in pointing the finger at Billy.
Will the real culprit be discovered, or is Billy in hot water yet again?
