Includes exclusive content, spoilers and interviews before they're seen on the site. And that's kind of been the story of Emma's stint in the Dales. She's a proper Marmite character.

So have her attempts to scheme her way out of sticky situations been entertaining, or just a total turn-off? We assess eight reasons why people might be either loving or hating mumma Barton Emma's a complicated creature, and in our book that's actually a good thing — no-one wants a soap villain to be one-dimensional, do they?

One minute she'll be acting like she's the perfect parent, doting over her sons and grandson, and the next she'll be teetering on the edge of full-blown epic meltdown, trying to cover up whatever misdemeanour she's been up to. Is Emma mad? Is Emma bad? Is she both? We've constantly changed our minds ever since she arrived in the village two years ago.

Her latest reincarnation as a devout Christian has got us all raising our eyebrows, but we can't wait to see what ungodly thing Emma does next. Emma can try and justify this one in her head any way she wants, but there's no real getting away from the fact that she was responsible for James's fatal fall from the motorway bridge.

If it wasn't for her then Pete, Ross and Finn would still have their dad. True, you had to have a stone heart not to feel a teensy bit sorry for Emma when James did the dirty on her with Moira, but most of our sympathy evaporated when took her revenge plan to a whole other level.

The neurotic nurse's obsessive need to keep her family together has shaped her stay in the village, and been behind almost every bad thing she's ever done. Finn has been the easiest to manipulate and let's be honest, he's clearly inherited a bit of his mum's odd behaviour , with Pete second and Ross obviously the most resistant, but all three have been through good and bad times with their mum.

Emma's unhealthy attachment to her kids may ultimately prove to be her undoing, and we can't wait for the Barton boys' reactions when they discover just how many dark secrets she's been hiding from them. Emma's evil manipulation of Ashley while he was living with dementia was a sin that we're all still finding hard to forgive. How could she deliberately trick a gravely ill man of the cloth into believing the wrong thing just to save her own ass?

However, he could warn Gabby she is a deadly danger and Kim is playing the long game in preparation to kill her. Letting her think she has control and ripping it away when the plan is exposed could put the mother of one in a perilous position.

Realising Gabby would need a safe place to flee to, Joe could suggest she and Thomas leave with him and escape the village. The young mother would know Joe is right so will she leave with him or would she confront the Home Farm owner over her callous ways? Fans have been waiting for Joe to return ever since he left the show three years ago and knowing he is alive has kept them guessing for many months.
