Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) was left guilt-ridden in tonight's Emmerdale (30th August), as it was revealed that he had framed his father Victor (Eddie Osei) for theft shortly before his death.

Victor had been found with a necklace belonging to Charles's partner, Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker), which she was due to return to rightful owner and former stepson Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson). The police were called, and Victor ran.

But when Charles found him at the church, Victor was dead, having previously told his family that he was terminally ill. Victor's widow, Claudette (Flo Wilson), was heartbroken, but remained adamant that Victor had brought shame on her through his stealing.

Manpreet relayed that it was likely Victor had died of an aneurysm as he had predicted; and Charles fled the house, unable to bear the situation. Jai approached the church to lay some flowers, and he hoped to offer Charles some support after his own recent loss.

But Charles felt too rotten to take in the comfort, and when Manpreet found him, he admitted the truth – he had planted her necklace on Victor to get rid of him once and for all. Manpreet couldn't believe what she was hearing, now feeling complicit in what had happened.
