Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) returned to Emmerdale in Monday (July 3)’s episode, and in the first glimpse of her she was walking up the steps of Hotten Town Hall in a wedding dress, a handsome man by her side.
When Tracy returned to the village last autumn viewers saw her briefly get back together with Nate (Jurell Carter), the father of her daughter Frankie. But she revealed to sister Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) that she was engaged to another man, and because Nate was with Naomi (Karene Peter) at the time, Tracy left the village again.
Recently Frankie has been visiting her dad, but whenever Tracy’s name was mentioned he got a bit cagey. So when Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Moira (Natalie J. Robb) spotted Tracy in her wedding dress and Nate arriving soon after, they were concerned. Was he about to disrupt the wedding and try to stop Tracy marrying someone else?

Cain took Cain-like action by kidnapping his own son, bundling him into the back of the van and knocking him out in the process. By the time Nate came round back in the village, he was furious.
He needed to get back to Hotten, he told them, and for very good reason. ‘It was my wedding day!’ he revealed. He set off in the general direction of the bus stop with Cain and Moira following behind.
A bus appeared, and as it pulled away it revealed two passengers who’d just got off – Tracy and Frankie. ‘Nathaniel Robinson, did you just jilt me?’ Tracy demanded.
The would-be happy couple told Cain and Moira that they’ve been seeing each other for the past two months. Perhaps wanting to swerve all the chaos and welly-drinking that a Dingle wedding usually activates, they planned a nice quiet wedding, with just them, Frankie and some witnesses pulled in from the street. Hence the handsome man Tracy was seen with earlier.
Moira was sorry for ruining their day and promised they would make it up to them, but Cain already had a plan in mind and headed off.
He soon returned with Charles (Kevin Mathurin) in tow. The vicar said he would marry them, though it wouldn’t be legal until they signed the papers the next day.
In the church, the clearly very much in love couple exchanged the words they’d prepared. ‘I was so lost without you,’ Tracy said. But I’ll never let you go ever again.’
Cain prompted Charles that this was the point in the proceedings where he should be saying something about pronouncing them husband and wife, but Charles said he wasn’t allowed to because it wasn’t an official, legal wedding.
Cain’s never been that bothered about things being official and legal, so he said the words himself – possibly the first time in Emmerdale history that Cain Dingle has officiated at a wedding.
