Emmerdale Fans ‘Work Out’ Celia Daniels’ Love Interest – And It’s Not Bob Hope
Viewers Predict a Shocking Romantic Twist for Celia Daniels
Emmerdale fans are buzzing with new theories after spotting what they believe to be a surprising romantic twist involving Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths). While the ruthless newcomer recently brushed off Bob Hope’s (Tony Audenshaw) clumsy flirtations, viewers are convinced she’s about to set her sights on someone very unexpected — Mary Goskirk (Louisa Jameson).
In recent episodes, Bob attempted to charm Celia with his trademark humour and a few cheeky remarks about Belgian buns. But true to form, the no-nonsense farmer wasn’t impressed, shutting him down instantly.
However, during Monday’s (October 6) episode, Celia threw him off balance by offering to buy him a coffee after giving advice about his granddaughter April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) — who, unbeknownst to Bob, has secretly been dealing drugs for Celia. To Bob, this small gesture seemed like romantic interest. But fans think otherwise.
Fans Theorise Celia Could Fall for Mary Goskirk
Taking to social media, Emmerdale viewers have been sharing their predictions — and the consensus is that Celia’s heart might be pulled in an entirely different direction.
One fan wrote on Facebook: “I think Mary is going to fancy Celia and then go on a date and bring her to meet Rhona — and April will be horrified.”
Another replied: “That would be a great twist! Although I’d love Mary to finally be happy in love, I doubt it could happen with Celia.”
A third chimed in: “That would be very interesting — messy but fascinating!”
If fan theories prove correct, this could be one of the most complicated love triangles the village has seen in years. Mary, of course, is Rhona Goskirk’s (Zoe Henry) mother — and Rhona has already been drawn into Celia’s sinister orbit through her stepdaughter April’s involvement in Celia’s drug operation.
Mary’s Romantic Past Could Make Things Complicated
Mary’s romantic life has been turbulent since coming out to Kim Tate (Claire King) in 2023. She previously shared a heartfelt — but ultimately doomed — connection with Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), who later reunited with Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick).
Could Celia be Mary’s next big heartbreak? Given Celia’s calculating nature and secret double life as a drug ring leader, fans fear that any romantic involvement could spell disaster.
As one viewer noted: “Mary deserves happiness, but if she gets tangled with Celia, she’s in for trouble.”
Drama Ahead in the Dales
Meanwhile, young April’s troubles are only just beginning. After nearly losing her brother Leo and being manipulated by Celia’s gang, she agreed to move into the B&B with Bob — unaware that her grandfather’s newest friend may be the most dangerous person in the village.
If Celia does target Mary next, it won’t just break hearts — it could blow Emmerdale’s darkest secret wide open.
