'Emmerdale': David, Alicia plan Christmas wedding - spoiler picture

Emmerdale couple Alicia Harding and David Metcalfe look set to take centre stage in the soap's Christmas episodes as they book their wedding for December 25.

The loved-up pair set the date for their ceremony in next week's episodes, wanting to make a commitment to each other sooner rather than later.

Although Alicia (Natalie Anderson) and David (Matthew Wolfenden) are thrilled to have a joyful Christmas season ahead, they're well aware that their decision could prove controversial.

With pregnant Priya Sharma (Fiona Wade) still heartbroken after losing David, it's unclear how she may take the news so soon after her own wedding plans were left in tatters.

Viewers will see David propose to Alicia later this week due to a misunderstanding involving Jacob.

Emmerdale: Verity Rushworth to return as Marlon Dingle's ex Donna

Emmerdale bosses have announced that Verity Rushworth is reprising her role as Marlon Dingle's ex-wife Donna Windsor.

The actress will return to filming at the ITV soap next month and appear back on screen in March.

Show chiefs have warned that Donna's comeback could spark trouble in the village as she threatens Marlon's happiness with his new fiancée Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy).

However, there are further twists in store as there is more to Donna's return than first meets the eye.

Rushworth said today (January 8): "I'm thrilled to be re-joining the wonderful Emmerdale team. The emotional journey my character is set to experience will be wonderfully challenging to play, and of course working with some of my oldest friends is going to be a real treat!''

Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates added: "I'm delighted to welcome Verity back to the show. Donna left under a real cloud with Marlon - so her return should ruffle some serious feathers in the village. I'm really excited to see the impact she has on the friends and family she left behind!"
