Emmerdale shares a first look at Kerry Wyatt's surprising return storyline

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale has unveiled a first look at Kerry Wyatt's return, as well as further details on her storyline as she re-enters the soap.

The character disappeared off-screen last year with little explanation, which came as actress Laura Norton took a break after having a baby in the middle of the pandemic.

However, fans will learn what Kerry has been up to next week, with the character now a cleaner in a multimillion-pound mansion as she forms a bond with the owner's daughter, Chloe.

In the new scenes, Charity Dingle and Mackenzie Boyd head off to rob Chloe's house, though Mack is taken aback by its opulence when they arrive.

They proceed to clear a display case of watches, though bump into a maid, who turns out to be Kerry. The latter proceeds to cover for them when Chloe comes home unexpectedly, Charity then asking to speak to Chloe's mum or dad – a subject she is awkward around.

Chloe leaves, as Kerry then warns Charity and Mack not to reveal they had seen her and to stay away in future. She also forces them to hand over the items they have stolen, though Mack reveals he has kept a watch when he gets home.

Kerry also warns Chloe that her father will not want her to keep in contact with Noah and Sarah, leaving her torn about what to do.

Kerry is later alarmed when she is alerted by Chloe's dad that one of his watches is missing. There is also a mysterious figure watching Charity and Mack in a car.

Have they invited trouble into their lives?

Speaking recently about Kerry's return, Laura told The Mirror: "[Kerry has] got a job as a cleaner/dogsbody for a family in a multimillion-pound mansion.

"She forms a bond with her employer's daughter but, while the daughter, Chloe, is lovely, she realises that the father is dodgy.

"It's really dark stuff and she starts to try to come up with ways to get away. There are a few interwoven storylines.

"This girl's sister was an organ donor for Sarah Sugden. And then Charity Dingle turns up at the house to try to rob it. She sees Kerry there and says, 'What the hell are you doing here?'

"Kerry forces Charity to hand over what she's taken, but then Kerry gets a message from Chloe's dad saying that one of his watches is missing."

Emmerdale airs these scenes in the week commencing Monday, November 1 on ITV.
