As far as I understand operations at BHD are very much still on the table. They are still waiting for their UK AOC to be issued to allow operations to be commenced. Some have noted that this may take as long as June before being issued.
There is potential that Cityflyer may continue to service these routes in the interim.
in the background of all of Emeralds plans at BHD is the inevitable (although not yet announced) return of Flybe and their return to BHD. An announcement on their return is expected very shortly. It could create a dog fight for business at BHD, if Flybe opt to operate the same routes announced by Emerald. Hopefully announcements will be made soon and the guessing can all stop.
