Victor Anderson was found dead after suffering from a cerebral aneurysm in St Mary’s Church.

ITV viewers were horrified by the sudden death, particularly after Rishi Sharma’s own demise, but the biggest shock was left to Charles Anderson.

The local vicar portrayed by Kevin Mathurin is finding it hard to cope without his father and he is guilt-ridden for a sinister reason.

But next week, Charles has to face his mother Claudette’s grief as she makes a devastating admission.

Coming up, the grieving matriarch played by Flo Wilson confesses she needed Charles’ support more than she initially told him.

This makes Charles’ partner Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) feel guilty as the GP continues to keep his secret.

Claudette is completely unaware that Charles is responsible for his father’s reputation being considerably damaged.

Prior to his death, Victor had been accused of theft when a necklace left behind to Manpreet by Rishi was found in his pocket by the latter’s son Jai.

Manpreet, Claudette and Jai quickly jumped to the conclusion that Victor had taken the necklace for himself due to his history in prison.

However, Victor maintained he was innocent and fled the family home before the police came to find him.

It was later revealed that Charles had actually planted the necklace in Victor’s pocket in an attempt to get rid of him once and for all.

Charles struggled to believe his father had changed his criminal ways and was convinced he was lying about his health issues.

After catching him and Claudette becoming closer than ever once again, Charles wanted to spare his mother from any more heartache and decided it was time Victor returned to prison.

Charles confessed to Manpreet what he had done but could anybody else find out?

Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
