Emmerdale spoilers have revealed what happens next to Lewis Barton after his shocking kidnap, and it is bad news for the young character. Lewis, played by Bradley Riches, was bundled into a van in a dramatic twist this week. Next week's episodes confirm his ordeal is far from over.
Lewis Taken to a House
Spoilers for next week show that Lewis is taken to a house, where newcomer Kylie, portrayed by Pippa Fulton, orchestrates the entire abduction. Ross receives a concerning message about Lewis being kidnapped, stating that Lewis is at risk unless his father returns 'Penny' to the kidnapper.
Ross and Liam Search for Answers
Ross warns Liam against calling the police. Initially, Ross insists they must find Lewis's adoptive dad, Jeffrey, but they find no leads. Liam finally confesses that Lewis's biological father is Kev. Ross immediately decides they must find Kev.
Kylie approaches Ross and reveals she is holding Lewis captive. She will only release him when Kev returns 'Penny,' which she calls 'the most precious thing in the world.'
Confrontation with Kev
Stressing it is a matter of life and death, Liam convinces Claudette to give him Kev's whereabouts. Liam finds Kev selling cakes from his van, but Ross is annoyed by Kev's attitude, leading to a scuffle. Kev claims Penny is a diamond he sold to a pawn shop, and Ross demands he buy it back. However, once alone, Kev looks at a diamond around his neck, making it clear he did not sell it after all.
Lewis's Panic Grows
Later, Lewis is held by Kylie. When Lewis asks if she is going to kill him, Kylie responds enigmatically, which only worsens Lewis's panic. Ross and Liam panic over Lewis's abduction, and Ross receives a threatening text from Kylie featuring scalpels.
Kylie's Demand
Kylie video calls Kev, demanding he return 'Penny' by the end of the day. She emphasizes her seriousness by mentioning her eight years in Holloway. Kev initially tells Liam and Ross that the pawn shop sold Penny, but later claims he located it and bought it back. Suspicious of Kev, Ross knocks him unconscious, telling Liam he plans to use Kev as an insurance policy for their trade.
Lewis Trapped
Still locked in Kylie's bedroom, Lewis tries to find a way out but is unsuccessful and resigns himself to his panic. Ross then meets with Kylie to try to get Lewis back.
