There is disaster in Emmerdale next week as a night out ends in horror and according to Dominic Brunt, who plays Paddy, there could be deaths in store!
As the women and men of the village head off for two special nights on the town, tragedy strikes.
And now Dominic has hinted that it could also mean someone is about to die!

Liam plans a romantic surprise for Chas
Things kick off when romantic Liam tries to win a limo for the night in a raffle. He’s got plans to propose to Chas and he wants to do it in style!
But despite Liam’s best efforts, he doesn’t win! So desperate to pop the question, he begs Suzy to find him another limo.
With two limos in the village, the party-goers divide into men and women and head off!

But tensions are simmering under the surface. Liam’s antsy when he realises Chas will be with the other women instead of him. And worst of all – there’s no drivers for the limos!
Caleb offers to drive one car, while Charity takes the other. But Caleb is still livid about Cain and Ruby and he’s determined to make his brother confess.

Living it up – for now!
The women, meanwhile, are living it up in their fancy motor.
And as a huge row breaks out in the men’s limo, the women descend into chaos.
Both drivers are distracted and the cars both swerve off the road in separate accidents!
As one limo crashes into an icy lake it leaves one group of revellers facing devastation.
But is it the men or the women who are in danger?

Dominic Brunt teases deaths ahead in Emmerdale
Paddy, played by Dominic Brunt, is among the men who join Liam in his limo.
And Dominic has given us a sneaky hint about what to expect from the dramatic stunt.
He admits he’s not sure where the two groups are heading as they take off from the village.
“I don’t actually know the destination because we never get there,” he says. “Well, there is a destination. A very final destination…”
Hold on a minute! Does that mean someone’s going to die? Suddenly we’re remembering those flashforwards from new year, which showed us Cain standing beside a freshly dug grave, and Caleb flatlining in hospital.
Plus, of course, there was that desperate hand as someone was trapped beneath the ice.
Viewers have speculated that the hand could be Leyla’s as she is rumoured to be leaving Emmerdale and there is speculation she could be killed off.
So does this mean it’s the women’s limo that plunges into the lake?
Perhaps!
The flashforwards also showed us a frightened Mack running through the woods – is he desperately trying to get to Charity after the accident?

Tragedy in Emmerdale says Dominic Brunt
Of course, the only way we’ll know for sure is to watch. And Dominic says we won’t be disappointed with this dramatic stunt.
“I think these are definitely some of Emmerdale’s most dramatic episodes that we have created for a long time,” he reveals. “And it is very tense!”
We can’t wait to see them!

It was another bleak week in Emmerdale as April came home after running away on Christmas Day and giving birth to a stillborn baby, but what else happened in Emmerdale this week?
There were more developments in the Joe Tate story, Leyla admitted she was lonely, and the knowledge of next week’s limo crash left us wondering who’s for the chop…
Here’s what we thought of it all in this week’s Emmerdale review.
April’s had a rotten time (Credit: ITV/Composite: EI)
What happened in Emmerdale this week: April’s back!
Of course the big story this week was April. In a standalone episode we saw the troubled teen resort to sleeping in a squat, with her new friends Bex and Dylan.
And then in heartbreaking scenes, pregnant April gave birth to a stillborn baby and nearly died in the process.
It was a lot. Actress Amelia Flanagan, who’s played April since she was five, held the whole episode together brilliantly.
She’s so talented and she made April’s torment very believable.
Why did she stay away?
We didn’t love it all, though, great as it was. Mostly because we kept wondering why April didn’t just go home!
Even new friend Dylan pointed out that April had a home and a family who were looking for her.
Obviously Rhona and Marlon aren’t perfect and things haven’t been easy, but they love her. She’s got Bob, and Mary, and Ross, and loads of people looking out for her.
We know that had she told any one of them that she was pregnant, they would have (eventually!) all stepped up to support her.
And while not knowing the real circumstances of mum Donna’s death isn’t ideal, it didn’t feel huge enough for her to put herself through that ordeal.
Though, saying all that Marlon is extremely annoying. So perhaps April had her reasons.
Give it a rest, Marlon (Credit: ITV/Composite: EI)
Main character Marlon
As we were watching this week’s eps, it struck us that April has proper ‘main character energy’, managing to make everything about her and her ordeal. Somehow she even managed to make Becca’s death about her, wailing that it was her fault (it clearly wasn’t).
And we reckon we know where she gets it from – her dad Marlon.
April hadn’t been home more than a matter of hours before he was whinging that she’d told Ross about the baby when he’d agreed they weren’t telling anyone, and grumbling that he’d let her down… It’s not always about you, Marlon.
We love Ross and April’s friendship (Credit: ITV)
Is Ross wasted?
Speaking of Ross, we still love his friendship with April. But we can’t help thinking he needs more. We’re pleased to see him back in the village, but he’s wasted just being someone for April to moan to.
And now Joe Tate’s back too, it seems even more disappointing that Debbie Dingle isn’t! We’d love to see her – and Jack – back in the village. Recast if necessary, but bring her back!
We don’t know what Joe’s planning for Noah but we’re guessing it isn’t good (Credit: ITV)
What’s Joe got planned for Noah?
Debbie was, of course, legendary for being a misery guts – just like Dawn. So it seems Joe’s got a type!
We’re really enjoying Joe’s return. It feels like it’s been paced just right, with his secrets being drip-fed to us perfectly.
We were already intrigued about what he was up to, when we discovered Kim didn’t trust him either and now Charity’s got Kim’s laptop and we’re all in. Loving the mystery!
Worries about naive Noah aside, we also loved Joe’s sarky comment about Dawn’s hoodie.
And the little glimpse into Charity and Ryan’s relationship – they’re a good pairing and we’d like to see more.
We’ve got a bad feeling about Billy (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale review: Is Billy doomed?
One thing we were wondering was whether Billy could be the one to die in the limo crash next week. Him dying would make things both better and worse for Dawn – which is the best kind of plot complication.
We want a happy ending for Leyla (Credit: ITV)
What else happened in Emmerdale this week?
Our favourite soap friendships are the unlikely ones – Kim and Zak Dingle for example. Or Ross and April. So we’re really keen on Ruby and Aaron’s blossoming friendship. They’re supporting one another and we’re here for it.
Meanwhile our top fave Leyla is lonely and having a rotten time of it and we’re not happy.
She’s such a delight, and we’re really nervous she might die a sad lonely death in the limo crash.
So we’re crossing our fingers and hoping instead she could meet a handsome firefighter/paramedic/doctor as a result of all the drama instead, be whisked off her feet and spend the rest of her days in romantic bliss.
How cute?!
Cutie of the week in Emmerdale
And finally we need to take a moment to appreciate the absolute cuteness of little Thomas.
Bertie Brotherton, who plays the toddler, clearly adores James Hooton, who plays Sam – those giggles were definitely real.
But also Sam’s long convoluted description of a cartoon with a sneaky mouse and a silly cat? It’s Tom and Jerry, Sam. That’s the name of the cartoon. We reckon Thomas could have told you that!

Viv Hope is at the centre of the drama in the episodes of Classic Emmerdale currently airing on ITV3.
She’s just found out she’s expecting a baby. The timing isn’t great, because her stepdaughter Dawn just died in the King’s River explosion. Bob had announced he didn’t want a baby after all, just as Viv discovered she was pregnant – awks.
Viv thought her only option was to terminate, despite her longing for another child.
Thankfully on screen now Bob’s found out about the pregnancy and together he and Viv have decided to go ahead and have the baby.
But watching the scenes where Bob and Viv, along with Viv’s kids Scott and Donna, Donna’s husband Marlon, and Bob’s ex-wife Jean, all gathered together at the clinic, got me thinking.

Viv was in the middle of the action in Classic Emmerdale
Back in the noughties, the Hopes and their various children were right at the heart of Emmerdale. And at the centre of it all was Viv.
Brash and gobby she may have been, but she had a good heart. She was devoted to her family and weathered their (many!) storms. Actress Deena Payne, who played Viv, was brilliant at bringing humour to the show, but also handled tragedy deftly.
Whether Viv was getting stuck in a wheelie bin, booking a rabbit to be her wedding planner, or grieving for husband Vic, she always stole the show.
Viv died in a fire in 2011 – alongside Dawn’s ex-husband, Terry Woods.
Once the Hope/Windsor family were a proper dynasty (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
A real asset to Emmerdale
She was such an asset to Emmerdale and every time I see her on screen in Classic episodes I am reminded all over again that it was a mistake to kill her off.
Even actress Deena agrees! She’s pointed out that no one ever saw Viv’s body, so perhaps she’s still out there somewhere!
Bob needs more family!
With Viv gone, the Hopes fell apart. Bob’s son Jamie left the village. Viv’s daughter Donna returned with her daughter April, then died. Bob’s daughter Carly came to the village for a while, then moved on. Son Heath was killed a year ago, and now there’s only Bob, daughter Cathy, and granddaughter April left.
“It was quite a dynasty,” says Tony Audenshaw, who plays Bob. “That has been eroded a bit and I’ve got a much smaller family.”
I can’t help thinking that the lack of Hopes in the village is another mistake. There are so many of Bob and Viv’s families who could add some interest to Emmerdale. I’d love to see his American daughter Roxy return. Or could Scott Windsor come back to the village? Recast if necessary.
Tony Audenshaw is a great actor and giving him a family again would help keep him in the middle of the action, where he belongs.
Of course we love the Dingles, but there are a lot of them, and they just keep coming. And that means Emmerdale feels a bit unbalanced in my view. I’ve long argued for more Sugdens – the family that once held Emmerdale together is down to Victoria and newcomer John. And more Hopes would be the icing on the cake!

Classic Emmerdale fans were amazed to spot a familiar – yet somehow very different – face as Karen Blick appeared in yesterday’s episode (Tuesday, February 4).
In the episode, which originally aired in August 2006, Viv was wrestling with her pregnancy.
She had been desperate for a baby and had even planned for Donna to be her surrogate. But then had discovered she was actually expecting.
Bob – who didn’t know about Viv’s pregnancy at that point – declared he could never have another child after losing Dawn.
And so, worried that carrying on with the pregnancy would mean the end of her marriage, Viv had planned an abortion.
But her daughter Donna knew the truth and she told her husband Marlon, and her brother Scott, and then Bob’s ex-wife Jean found out…
And everyone knew Viv didn’t really want to terminate her pregnancy. And they also thought Bob should know. So while Donna accompanied her mum to the clinic, the rest of the family weren’t far behind.
Would you have recognised Karen Blick as a nurse? (Credit: ITV)
A familiar face as Karen Blick spotted in Classic Emmerdale
A kindly nurse took care of Viv as she arrived and fans were stunned to see she was played by Karen Blick – who we now know as Lydia Dingle.
Back then, Karen was blonde, and looked quite different from her alter-ego Lydia.
Fans on Reddit expressed how surprised they were to see Karen playing a different role.
“I know it was nearly 19 years ago but she really does look different with that hair colour!,” said one stunned viewer.
While another said: “It’s one of my favourite things about watching Classic Emmerdale, spotting future permanent cast members.”

Happy ever after?
In the end, Bob and Viv had a long heart-to-heart as the rest of the family waited in the hall.
And he eventually said he wanted to keep the baby – he was ready to be a dad again.
Hooray!
So now Viv and Bob are happily looking forward to their future together. Of course the downside of watching these Classic Emmerdale episodes from 2006 is that we know it’s not going to be happy ever after for them, or their unborn babies.
But we do know Karen Blick will show up again, even though she’ll look very different!

They can’t find her so, disappointed, they go back to the village and pull up in the van, just as Pearl is arriving, too. But when she sees them, she panics and tells the taxi driver to keep going.
As the taxi passes the pub, Edna spots her friend. Once more she, Danny and Len head off in hot pursuit, eventually tracking Pearl down at the station. Edna tries to convince Pearl to return to the village but she refuses.

Jo Sugden was the manipulative man-stealer who ended up being a victim of domestic violence at the hands of her husband Andy.
Jo made some friends, and a lot of enemies in her three years in Emmerdale, but when things got tricky, the locals all stepped up for her.
Here’s everything that happened in her time in the village.

Jo’s arrival in Emmerdale
Jo Stiles came to Emmerdale as the new receptionist at the vet’s and immediately caught the eye of some of the men in the village!
She hit it off with Danny Daggert but after they went on a date, he agreed he was too tame for a bad girl like Jo! And from there, it was clear Jo was trouble.
She invented an online girlfriend for Paddy. Jo had good intentions but things backfired when Paddy announced he was off to Portugal to meet Fireblade – the woman Jo had invented.
When Paddy came home with a woman called Toni, who claimed to be Fireblade, Jo was worried. She knew that Toni wasn’t Fireblade, but to point it out would mean admitting she’d been catfishing poor Paddy.
As it turned out, Toni was Danny’s cousin, and she and Paddy had twigged what Jo was doing and were paying her back!

Jo’s affair with Andy
Jo moved into Butler’s with Andy Sugden and his former wife Katie, who had reconciled but were struggling financially. There was chemistry between Jo and Andy, and eventually they began an affair.
When Katie found out, she was furious and moved out. Jo lost her job at the vet’s after she uncovered some dodgy dealings with invoices. Hari – the vet who was doing the dodgy dealings – fired Jo to keep his own secrets.
But despite that, Jo and Andy seemed happy. They even got engaged! But their wedding plans were disrupted when Andy confessed to arson!
He fessed up to setting the fire that killed his adoptive mum Sarah Sugden. Andy was sentenced to three years in prison and instead of their dream wedding, he and Jo tied the knot behind the walls of the jail.
Jo Sudgen all alone
While Andy was inside, Jo carried on looking after his daughter, Sarah, but they ran into trouble when Andy’s old cellmate Charlie Sellers arrived. He began harassing Jo and little Sarah, and making threats.
Terrified, Jo went to Sarah’s mum, Debbie Dingle, and asked for help. With some assistance from Chas, and local crime family the Macfarlanes, they scared Charlie off.
When Andy was paroled, he wanted Jo to adopt Sarah, but Debbie didn’t do the paperwork. Andy was fuming, but Jo let Debbie spend time with her daughter.
When Andy found out, he angrily went to get Sarah back. Jo tried to stop him, and he accidentally slapped her, giving her a black eye. Andy was horrified – or so he said – and promised never to do it again.
But things actually got much worse. Andy continued to hit Jo, even sending her to hospital.
Sweet-natured Sam Dingle realised what was happening, but when he told his family they didn’t believe him, until Sarah drew a disturbing picture!
Andy was violent towards Jo (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Spinning lies
Desperate to stop the violence, Jo lied that she was pregnant. But of course Andy realised she wasn’t telling the truth and another scuffle broke out. This time, Jo retaliated, shoving Andy. He stumbled on to a farm tool and was impaled! Jo fled the scene, but Andy’s brother Daz found him and called an ambulance.
Andy managed to spin the whole thing to make himself appear the victim.
It was Val who managed to get through to Andy’s stepmum, Diane, in the end. And once Diane realised Jo was telling the truth, Katie followed after Andy got verbally abusive with her, too.
Realising she’d never be free of Andy, Jo planned to leave. She originally wanted to take little Sarah with her, but changed her mind at the last minute, and left the tot with Debbie instead.
After she’d gone, Jo gave a statement about Andy’s violence as part of his battle with Debbie for custody of Sarah. Jo’s written evidence meant Andy withdrew his application for custody. His divorce from Jo was finalised off-screen in 2009.
Who played Jo?
Jo Sugden was played by Roxanne Pallett. She’d appeared in Hollyoaks and A&E before she joined Emmerdale.
