Emmerdale‘s Amelia Spencer considers her future next week as she continues to struggle without her dad Dan.

Amelia chooses her boyfriend Noah Dingle as a confidant after days of bottling up her true feelings.

Next week’s episodes see the Dingles keep a close eye on Amelia, who’s living alone with baby Esther now that Dan has been imprisoned.

Amelia initially brushes off everyone’s concerns, adamant that she’s coping well.

The teen is also keen to keep hold of the Spencer house so that Dan has somewhere to return to when he’s released in a few years’ time.

However, in next Tuesday’s hour-long episode (September 5), Amelia is finally honest with Noah about her anxiety over living alone.

Amelia then makes a big decision about what her future should hold. Will she move?

Dan’s exit scenes aired last month as he was sentenced to eight years in prison for his fatal “one punch” attack on stalker Lloyd.

Liam Fox, who plays Dan, later clarified that his character was written out by show bosses.

He told The Mirror: “I had actually got to a point where I had been starting to think I needed a change to perhaps leave Emmerdale but I was struggling to have the bottle to make it.

“And so, when the producers first told me about what was going to happen to Dan, my immediate reaction was, ‘this is brilliant’. I knew it would mean I would be working flat out so I wanted to put everything into it.”
