Things are getting interesting in Emmerdale with Manpreet Sharma and Billy Fletcher, as the two will be seen having a kiss that will take Billy by surprise. The episode showing the same is expected to air on Monday, April 29, 2024, at 7:30 pm on ITV1, as per What To Watch.
This development seemingly happens after Manpreet turns down Charles' marriage proposal, hinting that she might be looking for some comfort or attraction elsewhere. The kiss happens at a get-together with the ladies from the village, including Manpreet's mother-in-law Claudette (Flo Wilson), and other characters such as Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) and Gail (Rachel Gill-Davis).
This could shake things up for Manpreet, Charles, and even Billy's other relationships in the village. The interactions between Manpreet and Billy, as well as how the other characters react to the same, will completely shape the storyline in the episodes to come.
The effects of a potential relationship between Manpreet and Billy on Emmerdale
Many people may be shocked at the thought of a potential relationship between Manpreet and Billy for quite a few reasons, key among them being their age gap, as Manpreet is way older than Billy.
He is also married to Dawn Taylor right now, and the fact that he doesn't realize Manpreet is interested in him might mean he's not interested in starting something new. Manpreet's actions may also hurt Charles, who had just proposed to her.
So far, Manpreet and Billy's storylines were pretty different. Manpreet Sharma, a doctor with a complicated past, used to be engaged to Charles about 15 years ago. But on their wedding day, she disappeared to avoid getting caught up in bigamy, because she was already married to her first husband, Dennis. Lately, there have been some tensions in her relationship with Charles, especially with his mom Claudette, hinting at some deeper issues.
On the other hand, Billy Fletcher, who lives in Emmerdale, was focused on trying to revive his personal training business while dealing with his own issues.
To follow the predicted relationship between Manpreet and Billy, watch Emmerdale, which airs daily on ITV in the United Kingdom, with new episodes premiering at 7:30 p.m. on weekdays. Fans can also catch up on the most recent episodes via the ITVX streaming platform or BritBox, which has a wide range of both past and current episodes.
