Emmerdale's Mandy gives Liv an ultimatum in Ben death aftermath

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale's Mandy Dingle will deliver an ultimatum to Liv Flaherty next week, as the fallout from Ben Tucker's shock death continues.

Viewers saw Ben (Simon Lennon) become the third victim of serial killer Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) last week, after she attacked him with a kayak oar following his discovery of some incriminating CCTV footage which showed her attempting to drown Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) during the recent survival challenge.

However, the police will soon be pursuing the wrong suspect as Liv (Isobel Steele) ends up in the frame, with Liv having had a drunken argument with Ben right before his encounter with Meena.

In scenes to air next week, Liv is put on remand in prison following allegations that she was responsible for Ben's murder.

She soon receives a visit from Mandy (Lisa Riley) and is stunned when Mandy demands that Liv cut all ties with her on-off love interest – Mandy's son Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson). Will Liv agree to Mandy's ultimatum?

Later on, back in the village, Vinny wrongly assumes that Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) was the person who interfered in his and Liv's relationship.

Will Mandy tell the truth, or will she let Chas take the blame for the intervention?

Ben's death has also had a big impact on Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick), who had a troubling encounter with Liv outside the HOP on the night of the murder in which Liv drunkenly declared that she hated Ben.

As Lydia considers the potential significance of the incident, she feels uncertain over whether she should share the details – will Lydia keep her worries to herself, or will she decide to go to the police?

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Thursday, December 9 at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.
