Emmerdale's Al to be caught out by Marlon as he pursues Chas

Emmerdale's Al Chapman could be pushing his luck too far tonight (November 22) as he tries to seduce Chas Dingle.

Al (Michael Wildman) has been manipulating Chas and the rest of the Woolpack team for weeks after investing in the pub.

The businessman has made a number of suggestions for improvements and cost cutting, such as frozen ready-meals, new staff uniforms and different types of beer. These have all been backed by Chas (Lucy Pargeter), despite the reservations of her loved ones.

However, viewers know that Al secretly has sabotage on his mind, as he wants to turn the Woolpack building into luxury apartments.

In Monday night's episode, Al makes the most of Chas's husband Paddy being away from the village, despite her previous reminders that she wants to keep things professional.

Al reminds Chas of their time together last week and suggests that she enjoyed his company.

Stepping up his pursuit, Al tells Chas how much he wants her.

Just when it looks like the pair are close to a kiss, Marlon (Mark Charnock) walks in and interrupts the moment.

Marlon is very aware that he has interrupted something suspicious, and he's particularly concerned since Al and Chas already share a complicated history. When he demands answers from Chas, she denies doing anything wrong and refuses to give anything more away.

Not satisfied by this, Marlon approaches Al separately and tries to warn him off – which is witnessed by Cain (Jeff Hordley). Will Al regret his games?

Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV.
