Emmerdale fans fear for Jacob Gallagher as he gets closer to Chloe Harris
EMMERDALE’S Dingle has displayed some concerning behaviour as he grows obsessed with Chloe Harris.
But after tonight’s instalment, viewers have become more concerned about Jacob Gallagher.
Budding troublemaker Noah (portrayed by Jack Downham on the ITV soap) has proved he’s capable of anything to get Chloe’s (Jessie Elland) attention.
In recent scenes, Charity Dingle’s son was seen stealing his former flame’s phone to track her every move and even treating himself to a new drone to spy on her.
Could he be willing to go even further to get rid of his competition?

During tonight’s trip to the ITV Dales, Chloe was feeling sorry for herself in David’s Shop as she came to terms with the fact her romance with Nate Robinson isn’t going as planned.
Meanwhile, Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) encouraged her to turn the other cheek and move on with someone her own age.
Soon enough, the maid cornered Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) at the till and asked him if he was free following his shift in the shop.
A smiling Jacob agreed to grab a coffee with Chloe as friends – dismissing the night they spent together several weeks ago – which ultimately led to her giving up on her connection with Noah.

But the chemistry between him and Chloe remains palpable.
Later, the pair headed to the terrace of Cafe Main Street, where they enjoyed some playful banter under Kerry’s vigilant eye.
In an attempt to wind her up, both youngsters came up with the idea to pretend to kiss but pulled away mere seconds before their lips met.
Unbeknownst to them, Noah was watching just as closely behind them.
Alarmed soap fans swarmed over to Twitter, predicting a sinister twist for Jacob.
One fan wrote: “This thing with Noah is extremely odd.”
Another added: “OMG noah this is really creepy.”
And a third commented: “He’s behind YOU!.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
