    Multiple lives will be lost in limousine lake crash scenes, Emmerdale director confirms

    Emmerdale director Vicky Thomas has confirmed that more than one life will be lost in the upcoming limousine lake crash.

    This week and next week, two limousines will suffer a crash but one crash looks set to be a little more deadly than the other as the vehicle sinks into a frozen lake.

    And, in what will be a huge stunt for the soap, not everyone will survive the ordeal… Proper edge of your seat stuff, this is!

    Emmerdale: Limousine lake crash rocks the Dales

    Next week’s Emmerdale spoilers reveal a huge and very dramatic stunt will take place in the village as two limousines crash.

    One limousine has a group of male villagers inside, crashing as Caleb’s anger over his brother Cain’s fling with wife Ruby gets in between him and his control of the steering wheel.

    In the other limo, Charity drives a group of female villagers on a night out – but, she soon swerves and crashes the vehicle.

    One of the limousines ends up sinking into a frozen lake full of dangerous ice as the injured party attempts to save themselves and their friends. It’s unclear whether the boys or the girls are inside this limo…

    But, no matter who is inside which limo, it’s clear that there’s going to be lots of blood and lots of injuries… and a couple of deaths thrown in too.

    Soap director Vicky Thomas confirms multiple limo crash deaths

    With many villagers facing huge danger, Emmerdale director Vicky Thomas has now confirmed that not everyone will survive.

    Yes, finally a huge soap stunt where characters actually die… Scary.

    It sounds to be edge-of-your-seat stuff, but which characters’ time in the village will come to an abrupt end?

    Vicky teased: “I think the things that happen in these episodes are totally different to what the characters have gone through before. It was a nice change. Obviously we still have the punch-ups and all the rest of it, but in these episodes there’s a lot of bravery and people saving other people – it is very heartfelt stuff, very high emotions.

    “I think the audience will see the characters in ways that they have never seen before. And the repercussions of what happens over this night will go on for a very long time. And I think some things will even change forever from them. As there are some who do not make it because of what happens to them.”

  • As Belle starts divorce proceedings against Tom, here’s all we know about a potential return to Emmerdale

    As Belle starts divorce proceedings against Tom, here’s all we know about a potential return to Emmerdale

    Monday’s episode of Emmerdale (February 10) saw Belle announce that she had contacted a lawyer in order to start divorce proceedings against Tom King.

    Viewers know that Tom put Belle Dingle through a year of hell, which involved both mental and physical abuse. From giving away her pet dog and pretending he had died, to holding her hand under scolding water – Tom really put Belle through it. So she is looking forward to finally getting shot of him.

    However, Belle doesn’t believe Tom will let her go without a fight. So does that mean we’ll be seeing a return for Tom?

    What happened in Emmerdale?

    At work, Leyla noticed Belle was quiet. After being probed, Belle said: “It’s coming up to my one year anniversary with Tom.”

    Although this means Belle can now divorce Tom, she was anxious as she thinks Tom will fight her on it. “I know he will, ’cause he can never make anything easy for me. I’m dreading dealing with it,” she told Leyla.

    However, during lunch with the girls, Belle was given a boost of confidence by Charity and Suzy. They told her she was a strong woman who could handle Tom one last time.

    When she returned home, Belle defiantly told Lydia that she does have something to celebrate this anniversary: “I’ve called a lawyer. This is step one of divorcing Tom.”

    Could Tom King return to Emmerdale?

    Last year, Tom was found guilty of assaulting and coercively controlling wife Belle. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

    At the time, actor James Chase said Tom could return in the future.

    James said: “I think, with good behaviour, he’s only going to get something like 16 to 18 months, which is crazy.”

    “But I think it would depend where they would want to go with the character, because there are many different avenues you could go with it. They could make it that Tom potentially had got even worse, and hasn’t changed at all.

    “Or if he did go the other way and finally did realise the terrible things he’s done, and perhaps did, actually start to try to become a better man.”

    Although James was talking about further down the line and Tom’s potential release, the actor is clearly open to reprising the role.

    It would also be in keeping with the character of Tom for him to have one last shot at making Belle’s life a misery. It wouldn’t be beyond him to demand she visit him if she wants him to play ball. This would pave the way for Tom to be on screen again.

  • Dominic Brunt teases deaths ahead in ‘Emmerdale’s most dramatic episodes’

    Dominic Brunt teases deaths ahead in ‘Emmerdale’s most dramatic episodes’

    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!

    Chas and Liam

    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!

    Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm, with an early release on ITVX at 7am.

    Classic Emmerdale usually airs every weekday on ITV3 at 6am and 6.30am, plus 1.40pm and 2.10pm.

  • All the evidence that Billy’s days in the village could be numbered

    All the evidence that Billy’s days in the village could be numbered

    Could the Emmerdale cast be set to get even smaller? As news of an ITV soap schedule change was announced, it’s inevitable that we’re going to lose some characters.

    And it makes the most sense that the ones who are potentially going to go are the ones with minimal connections in the village.

    One example of that is Billy. With his marriage hanging on by a thread, his wife having an affair and literally no other attachments in the village, are his days numbered?

    Let’s look at all the evidence that suggests he could making an exit in 2025 – and maybe even in a body bag.

    Joe and Dawn talking at Home Farm
    Will Billy find out about Joe and Dawn’s affair? (Credit: ITV)

    Joe and Dawn’s affair leads to Emmerdale cast change?

    Currently Billy’s wife Dawn can’t keep away from Joe Tate, no matter how much she tries.

    After the pair slept together, Dawn was overwhelmed with guilt and told him it would never happen again. But in true soap fashion, it does continue.

    With the Joe vs Billy debate for Dawn, if her husband ever found out the truth, would he leave her? And if so, where else in the village could he even go?

    No loose ends

    Billy is one of the few people in the village that literally has no other family member there. So if anyone’s days are numbered, it’s going to be his.

    Most of the villagers all have someone else to turn to; family members or even close friends. But Billy seems like a lone wolf in Emmerdale.

    Of course, in the earlier years of Billy’s time in Emmerdale, he had quite a close friendship with Marlon Dingle, who was in a relationship with his mother. But as the years went on it seems the show has moved past their closeness.

    However, he has outlasted any of his family members. Both his mum and his brother, Ellis, have appeared on the show for lengthy periods of time. But neither lasted as long as Billy.

    So if he were to find out about Dawn and Joe, would he move away to actually be with his family?

    Emmerdale exit evidence: Could Billy die?

    Emmerdale kicked off 2025 with a lot of ominous flash-forwards that left us with a lot of questions.

    We know there will be a body thrown into the river by an unknown person. And while many assumed that was John getting rid of Anthony’s body – we never actually saw that.

    Could Billy find himself embroiled in conflict with someone – Joe perhaps? Or will he begin illegally fighting again and it goes wrong?

    Then there was also a hand stuck under the ice. And the hand was wearing a wedding ring. We know the huge ice stunt is coming up very soon. And Emmerdale has teased which cast members are involved. So could Billy be under the ice?

    If Billy does die, it opens up even more storylines for Dawn and his family, as she has just recently lost her dad, too. Then on top of mourning, she would be hit with guilt over her affair with Joe…

    Emmerdale exit evidence: Fan reactions to Emmerdale character Billy

    Over the last lot of months, Billy has not been a fan favourite character. In fact, some of his decisions have angered viewers.

    From actively ignoring Dawn’s advice about the boxing with Ross, to refusing to move into Home Farm when they hadn’t anywhere else to go. Billy hasn’t really been the family man he appears make out that he is.

    Before she began her affair with Joe, fans were even labelling Billy and Dawn as ‘painfully boring’ as the couple lost the spark they once had.

    So with all of the evidence, is Billy’s time in the Emmerdale village coming to an end?

  • Can Vinny do better than Gabby? We think so – here’s who he should be with instead

    Can Vinny do better than Gabby? We think so – here’s who he should be with instead

    In a small village like Emmerdale, one’s options might be quite limited – how else to explain the pairing of Gabby Thomas and Vinny Dingle? The couple first got together last year, and have been love’s young dream ever since, no matter how unlikely they might seem.

    Vinny’s first love since the death of wife Liv, Gabby came onto the scene in a new romance for the shy young Dingle. Together they have overcome his inexperience and her struggle with his colourful family – staying strong as he discovered the identity of his birth mum, Tina Dingle.

    But is there trouble in paradise already? Earlier this week, we saw Gabby’s eye start to wander – in Joe Tate’s direction. And, as she spent dinner with the Dingles that evening, it became evident that Gabby was starting to have second thoughts about her relationship.

    Emmerdale fans dismayed for Vinny as Gabby crushes on Joe

    Writing on a Reddit thread, fans debated their relationship, describing Vinny as ‘too lovely’ for Gabby, who they feared was on the verge of breaking his heart.

    “In last night’s ep Gabby came across as feeling too good for Vinnie, and the Dingles,” another noted.

    “I’ve never thought they should be a couple. I don’t believe Gabby would have been truly interested in Vinny as more than a friend to begin with,” said a third.

    “Vinny and Gabby are a mismatch. She’ll break his heart for sure,” another viewer commented.

    “She was weirdly snobbish about the family meal as well,” agreed a fifth.

    But if not Gabby, then who?

    Who should Vinny be with?

    For a while, it seemed as though Vinny was on track to be with Belle. He stuck by her through her abusive relationship with Tom King – copping a beating from jealous Tom for his trouble – and the pair have always shared a tender, gentle chemistry together.

    However, last year’s revelation put paid to that one – making Vinny a blood Dingle, and Belle his aunt.

    If not Belle or Gabby, then perhaps it’s time for a new love interest for Vinny – a new character we’ve not seen before, maybe. It’s a small village and, with the dating options so limited (Victoria, maybe? Or Ella, who’s about to leave), maybe it’s time to start looking further afield.

    Vinny, as one commenter said, ‘deserves a bit of TLC.’ Failing that, someone who doesn’t turn their nose up at Dingle pie – and isn’t so easily swayed by the superficial charms of scheming Joe Tate.

  • Aaron for adoption story in Emmerdale, plead fans – and they know just who he should take in

    Aaron for adoption story in Emmerdale, plead fans – and they know just who he should take in

    In Emmerdale Aaron continues to struggle after Anthony’s death, but fans are calling for a different route for his storyline.

    With April having been found, many viewers want her friend, Dylan, to be a permanent character. And they even know who could take him in. Aaron.

    In last night’s episode (February 6), Dylan was standing in the hospital corridor watching April reunite with Marlon and Rhona. And something tells us this won’t be the last we have seen from him. And with fans calling for more storylines for Aaron, could this be a new pairing in the Dales?

    Emmerdale Aaron to take in Dylan?

    In Emmerdale Aaron has always been someone people can turn to. And he has a history of taking people in to help them.

    He, himself was taken in by Paddy when he was younger. And then when Liv came back into his life, he was quick to let her move in with him.

    Not just that, but he even let Gerry move in with them when he had nowhere else to go. And he turned into a mentor style figure for the young boy before his death.

    Having a family around is something that evidently means a lot to Aaron. And when Robert went to prison and Rebecca took Seb to go live with her, Aaron was gutted. Then to make matters worse, he lost his sister. So could Aaron be ready to take on the parental figure role once again? Fans think so.

    Taking to a Reddit thread, fans discussed why Aaron would be the perfect candidate for taking Dylan in.

    One wrote: “He [Dylan] could come in and be fostered by Aaron. It would give a nice continuation of his own relationship with Paddy. And it would give Aaron something interesting to do. He would be able to understand him more since he had such a [bleep] childhood himself. Personally, I think Aaron would be a great ‘dad.’”

    Another backed up the idea, adding: “I agree. Emmerdale is in need of more teens. And Aaron needs a good story. I think it would be cool to see how he would handle raising a teen.”

    Fans want Dylan and Aaron friendship

    A third pointed out that even if Aaron doesn’t foster him, there is still a great chance of the pair forming a bond. As the Dingle could help him in other ways.

    They wrote: “If Aaron doesn’t foster him then he can still give him a job at the scrapyard. He could have some kind of big brother / mentor role.”

    However, another fan pointed out that they can see another Dingle couple taking him in.

    The user penned: “I think Lydia and Sam should foster him. With Samson and Esther gone, it would give them a little more purpose. He seems like a good kid, so he wouldn’t really be a problem other than having trouble building trust with others.”

    Either way, it’s clear that Dylan would fit in with a lot of characters in the village. And fans are very eager for him to stay. Especially as April could do with a solid friend in her life at the minute.

    Fans of Emmerdale have heaped praise upon stars Amelia Flanagan and Mark Charnock as missing teenager April finally reunited with dad Marlon this week.

    In emotional scenes, Marlon finally came face-to-face with his daughter again after over a month apart. With April recovering in hospital after complications from the stillborn birth of her child, Marlon was desperate to be there for his daughter.

    April opens up to Marlon as father and daughter are reunited

    April gradually began to open up, telling her dad about her experiences on the streets of Leeds – including the tragic death of friend Becca, and the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy.

    Both grew emotional as she refused to come home, and talked of how she felt invisible within her own family. Amid the bombshell revelations and painful admissions, stars Amelia Flanagan and Mark Charnock delivered two powerhouse performances.

    Strong stuff, and the fans have taken note too.

  • Emmerdale: Joe clearly not talking to Dubai as eagle-eyed viewers point out he wasn’t on the phone to anyone

    Emmerdale: Joe clearly not talking to Dubai as eagle-eyed viewers point out he wasn’t on the phone to anyone

    Noah is planning a big move, with brother Joe Tate setting him up with a job in Dubai on this week’s Emmerdale. With his electrician’s business crumbling (thanks Joe!) Noah was all ears as Joe span stories of the glitzy life in Dubai.

    Won over with stories of free housing, a massive salary and the Dubai sunshine, Noah was eager to leave the village behind. And his mother’s protests otherwise only seemed to make him more determined to go.

    But is Noah’s job offer legitimate? Highly dubious, given that Joe wasn’t actually on the phone to anyone.

    Noah’s job offer fake, say Emmerdale fans as Joe pretends to make a call

    As Joe called his contact in Dubai on Wednesday, the camera zoomed in on his phone screen – revealing that he wasn’t calling anyone  at all.

    “Seriously, Noah needs to WAKE UP! Joe didn’t get you the job, he just pretended. The phone was literally blank, with no ongoing call,” pointed out one viewer on Reddit.

    “This is why it’s hard to fault Charity for being overbearing. Noah can’t look after himself, he’d get a phone call saying to empty his bank account to get a raffle ticket and go “yeah alright sure”,” another joked.

    Clearly, Joe’s not telling Noah the truth – but what does he have planned?

    Fans predict Joe’s dark plan for Noah

    Presuming Joe really does want to get Noah to Dubai, a number of fans have speculated that Joe’s planning on harvesting his brother’s organs when they get there.

    “Joe wants Noah in Dubai as it’s prob the only place that will do any dodgy operation for his body parts,” wrote one viewer on X as Wednesday’s scenes aired.

    “I wonder if there is something wrong with Joe that requires a transplant and he’s eyeing up Noah as a donor and wants to take him abroad for the op and away from Charity,” speculated another.

    “Does Joe wanna kidnap Noah and nick a kidney or something worse?” asked a third.

    What is Joe up to?

  • Who dies in Emmerdale limo lake stunt ‘worked out’ by fans – and it links to another flashforward

    Who dies in Emmerdale limo lake stunt ‘worked out’ by fans – and it links to another flashforward

    Next week, Emmerdale airs their hugely teased ice stunt, which is expected to leave villagers in grave danger.

    At the start of 2025 viewers were given a glimpse into the future of many different storylines. But we had no idea if all of the flashforwards were linked. Or if they were all completely separate.

    But now fans have ‘worked out’ who dies in the stunt, and it seemingly links three flashforwards together.

    Emmerdale ice stunt

    Next week, the lives of some of our favourite villagers will be put at risk as the soap airs two dangerous limousine crashes.

    How does this happen? Well Liam and Kerry both host boys’ and girls’ nights out. And Caleb and Charity both take the drivers’ seats.

    While Caleb’s anger towards Cain grows, he ends up crashing the boys’ limo. Whereas Charity swerves to avoid hitting something.

    Spoilers for next week indicate one of the limos ends up on a frozen lake. And thanks to an earlier flashforward, we know someone ends up trapped underneath – banging on the ice for help.

    Another flashforward saw Caleb flat-lining in hospital, while a different one showed Cain crying at a fresh grave. But how did we get there?

    Well, a new fan theory has linked it all together, working out which villager is likely to die in the huge Emmerdale ice stunt. And it’s bad news for Liam.

    Could Liam and Chas’ relationship end in tragedy? (Credit: ITV)

    Does Liam die?

    Taking to X, one user wrote: “So we all know the men and women both have a big night out involving two limos. So I’m saying Caleb crashes as he is arguing with Cain about sleeping with Ruby. Then Liam dies in the crash. Cain cries at his grave out of guilt. And it also explains Caleb being on the monitors in hospital. And cue Jacob, the new local doctor.”

    The theory neatly ties together multiple storylines, and opens many different possibilities for future stories.

    If Liam were to die because Cain and Caleb were arguing, then Emmerdale fans will be losing one of their favourite unlikely friendships.

    And of course Cain would feel guilty over it. Despite his bad-boy attitude, the Dingle has formed quite a close connection with Liam over the years.

    And with spoilers indicating a potential engagement for Chas and Liam, could their relationship be hit with tragedy before it even takes off?

    It seems the theory looks entirely possible. But viewers will have to tune in to see exactly what unfolds in the Emmerdale ice stunt.

    Emmerdale news: Chilling limo lake stunt details revealed in new promo

    Emmerdale is set to air two terrifying new promos for the upcoming limo lake stunt which unfolds later this month. The soap has teased the chilling disaster ever since a flashforward revealed a solitary hand fighting for life beneath a sheet of ice last year.

    More details have emerged in the months since. Upcoming spoilers for next week have revealed how 16 lives will be left hanging in the balance when two limousines crash on an icy winter road.

    And, as one of the car plunges into a frozen lake, at least one villager’s life will hang in the balance.

    In the lead up to the event, a new promo video shows a red heart helium balloon floating from The Woolpack to the scene of the accident.

    As the balloon comes to rest on an icy lake, the mysterious hand can be seen again, fighting for life.

    The soap will air a second promo video in the days following. This one will show the two limousines, full of passengers.

    As the cars collide, one limo comes to rest on an icy lake – the ice threatening to give way beneath them. Those within soon find themselves teetering over an icy grave.

    But which of the 16 imperiled characters does the hand belong to? And will they survive?
