    Emmerdale spoilers: Sarah is left pregnant and alone after Jacob rejects her

    Emmerdale spoilers: Jacob is spiralling out of control

    Jacob’s world has been shattered by his mum’s tragic death. Leyla was one of the victims of the devastating limo crash, which also claimed the life of her colleague, Suzy. Although Leyla managed to escape the vehicle before it sunk into the frozen lake, her injuries proved fatal. Jacob was working in A&E at the time Leyla was brought into hospital, but there was nothing he could do to save her.

    A couple of weeks on from his terrible loss, Jacob remains in a state of shock. He still blames Noah for Leyla’s death after Charity was forced to swerve the limo to avoid hitting him. Jacob has also thrown himself straight back into work, but is not coping. As things become too much the trainee doctor ends up suffering a panic attack while on shift.

    Later, Jacob turns to alcohol to numb his pain as he downs drinks with Rich at the Hide. Belle and Laurel witness his worrying behaviour and fear Jacob is spiralling. Even Rich can see that his friend needs help, but will Jacob admit it?

    Sarah feels rejected by Jacob

    By the time Sarah arrives to speak to Jacob he’s in a complete state. She attempts to get through to her boyfriend, but he dismisses her concern and orders Sarah to stay away.

    Sarah is deeply wounded by Jacob’s rejection and it soon becomes clear why as she nervously eyes up an unopened pregnancy test in her bag. But she decides not to tell Jacob about their maybe baby, realising he’s already got enough to deal with.

    Sarah is pregnant in Emmerdale spoilers

    Next day, it’s time for the locals to say an emotional farewell to one of their own. As they gather together for the funeral, over at Jacobs Fold, Sarah is preparing to find out if she’s in the family way.

    After taking the test, Sarah waits a while before reading the result and to her horror it’s positive. Fans predicted Sarah’s pregnancy back in January after she and Jacob shared a night of passion. And now it’s a reality.

    As Leyla’s funeral gets underway she tries to find the right moment to tell Jacob about the baby, but he declares he’s talked out before walking away.

    Feeling completely alone and scared, Sarah carries on suffering in silence. What will she do?

    Trouble ahead for Ross and Sarah as Emmerdale introduces ‘bad boy’ newcomer Kammy

    There’s trouble ahead for Ross Barton and Sarah Sugden as Shebz Miah joins Emmerdale as new village bad boy Kammy. The soap will introduce its latest newcomer next month as he makes a notable entrance by stealing a quad bike from Moira’s farm.

    With the finger of blame being pointed at Ross, Kammy meets Sarah – whose loyalties are divided between Ross and the charismatic stranger.

    But what does this mean for Ross and Sarah?

    Scenes next month see Kammy make his Emmerdale debut, stealing a quad bike from Moira’s farm. As fingers are pointed, Ross soon takes the blame.

    Elsewhere, Sarah meets Kammy as he struggles to start the stolen bike. But how will she react when Ross approaches?

    As the pair begin to build a relationship, Sarah soon finds herself getting in touch with her village roots. But how will the Dingles react to this newcomer?

    ‘Danger’ teased for Sarah as Shebz Miah reveals Emmerdale role

    Speaking about his exciting new role in the soap, actor Shebz Miah, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. Everyone has been so welcoming and I already feel like a part of the family.”

    He continued: “I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better job – the character is such an exciting one to play and Kammy will definitely ruffle a few feathers, but he does have the gift of the gab so although he causes a lot of mischief, I think it will be hard not to like him!”

    Meanwhile, Katie Hill, who plays Sarah Sugden said: “I can’t wait for the audience to meet Kammy – he’s a really fun character and a great addition to the village. We might even see him and Sarah get up to a bit of mischief together… It has been great having Shebz join the cast and he’s been brilliant to work with!”

    Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw added: “We are delighted to be welcoming Shebz to Emmerdale as cheeky charmer Kammy. Charismatic, with a very playful spirit, but ultimately kind at heart, Yorkshire lad Kammy promises to bring both excitement and danger to the village.”

  • Sarah to die on Valentine’s Day? Fan spots huge ‘clue’ in trailer that could foreshadow her fate

    Sarah to die on Valentine’s Day? Fan spots huge ‘clue’ in trailer that could foreshadow her fate

    A new Emmerdale fan theory has suggested that Sarah Sugden will die in the soap’s Valentine’s Day ice stunt. This speculation comes as viewers attempt to work out who lives and who dies this week – with at least sixteen lives on the line.

    Sarah’s name wasn’t one of those released, but one Emmerdale fan has predicted that she could be among the fatalities. And this is no idle speculation either – with the recently released promo seemingly containing a big ‘clue’ to Sarah’s fate.

    Soap fans speculate Valentine’s Day death following new promo

    The soap released a new trailer last week which depicted a heart-shaped balloon floating from the Woolpack to the scene of the crash. It then deflates, sinking to the icy floor.

    The trailer then cuts to a hand banging on a sheet of ice, trapped in the freezing cold river below. Could this be Sarah’s hand? And even if not… just how safe is Sarah?

    Sarah to die on Valentine’s Day, Emmerdale fan predicts

    Writing on social media in the weeks leading up to the big ice stunt, one Emmerdale fan put forth their theory.

    “The heart balloon – Sarah. She could be involved in something else other than the car crash. The New Year’s trailer Cain is standing over a grave and just because it’s valentines doesn’t exactly mean that the heart is for valentines,” one viewer wrote.

    Regardless of whether the hand belongs to Sarah, the heart link would make sense. In June 2018, Sarah collapsed with heart failure after a history of poor health. In October that year, she underwent a heart transplant to stabilise her condition.

    Although the operation was a success, Sarah’s medical issues remain. Could this lead to her death on Valentine’s Day?

  • 9 Emmerdale characters with nine lives: From Cain Dingle to wife Moira, those who have escaped death more than once

    9 Emmerdale characters with nine lives: From Cain Dingle to wife Moira, those who have escaped death more than once

    They say cats have nine lives, and so do a lot of Emmerdale characters, and no matter how many times they stare death in the face, they never actually meet their maker.

    These extremely fortunate folk have overcome illnesses, survived catastrophic accidents and managed to escape murderers. In all honesty, they’ve got us wondering why and how they’re still breathing.

    Here are nine Emmerdale characters who have defied the odds when it comes to death…

    Cain Dingle deserves an award when it comes to Emmerdale characters’ deaths

    Cain Dingle is the soap’s Mr Invincible. No matter how many brushes with death this guy had, he always lives to fight another day – quite remarkable considering the rest of the Emmerdale characters on the list.

    The mechanic came closest to meeting his maker in 2011 when he was left for dead in a huge whodunit storyline, dubbed ‘Judgement Day’. Cain was bludgeoned over the head with a crowbar by a mystery assailant, who later turned out to be his dad, Zak. But after a few weeks in hospital he was ready to go again.

    So Cain survived having his skull smashed in, but what else?

    He almost burnt to death after Adam Barton set fire to his garage in revenge for Cain destroying his mum and dad’s marriage. He’s also undergone surgery for a brain aneurysm, and nearly drowned in a freezing river.

    Then there was the time Cain nearly blew himself up while trying to get Nate killed for sleeping with Moira. He also suffered a near-fatal brain injury during a violent brawl with nephew Aaron, and most recently cheated death when Moira blew up Butler’s barn.

    He should come with a health and safety warning!

    Mackenzie Boyd

    How is Mack still alive? No, seriously. How is he still alive? It’s true that Mack gets himself into most of these dangerous situations, but he’s been fortunate to survive them.

    In 2023, Mack was involved in a terrifying car accident with his wife Charity and lover Chloe – which only happened because he played away. The vehicle was left hanging over the edge of a cliff, and Mack managed to save himself and Charity from the wreckage. Chloe went down with the car, but miraculously wasn’t killed.

    Mack was then held hostage by Chloe’s gangster dad, Harry. And he would have ended up with a bullet in his head if it wasn’t for Charity saving the day, and shooting Harry dead.

    His latest two lives have been used up. First, surviving getting stabbed in the stomach by Charity, then almost getting gored by an angry bull.

    What’s going to be next?

    Aaron Dingle

    Aaron must know Hotten General like the back of his hand – he’s spent enough time there over the years.

    The troubled Emmerdale character has a history of self-harm, and faced death when he developed septicemia after deliberately cutting his skin. Aaron’s overdosed on drugs and attempted suicide more than once.

    In October 2016 he almost died after he and lover Robert were involved in the Hotten Bypass Crash. The couple’s car plunged into a lake and Aaron was trapped under the water. He was rushed to hospital and flatlined seconds after Robert popped the question.

    But thanks to the miracles of modern medicine Aaron was saved.

    Most recently John had to perform emergency surgery on his boyfriend after his lung collapsed. Aaron was taken to Hotten where it was revealed John had saved his life.

    Sarah Sugden

    Life hasn’t been very kind to poor Sarah, but she’s somehow managed to hang on in there.

    At six-years-old she was diagnosed with fanconi anemia, a rare genetic disease, which increases the risk of cancer. Sarah developed leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant to save her life, so Debbie and Andy conceived a saviour sibling. Baby Jack was born and was a match for his sister.

    Sarah recovered, but was nearly killed after Kerry Wyatt accidentally set fire to Dale View while babysitting her and Jack.

    Her health took another tragic turn in 2017 when she was diagnosed with throat cancer. Sarah’s long-lost great grandmother Faith stumped up £20,000 for her to undergo private treatment in Prague, which was a success.

    If that wasn’t enough, less than 12 months later Sarah went into heart failure – a rare side-effect of her chemotherapy. A donor was found and Sarah underwent a risky heart transplant. Once more, there was a guardian angel looking down on her.

    Sarah’s most recent hospital trips have been due to her drinking – something she’s not allowed to do due her condition.

    Moira Dingle is one of those Emmerdale characters whose been through enough, let alone near-death experiences

    Moira’s another one that’s lucky to still be breathing if you think about all she’s been through.

    She survived the car accident that claimed the life of her first husband John, walking away from the wreckage with just cuts and bruises. Then her life fell apart after the death of her daughter Holly from a heroin overdose.

    Moira almost succumbed to addiction herself after she developed a dangerous alcohol habit. She once passed out drunk behind the wheel of her car and avoided what could have been a fatal collision.

    2024 was the year Moira was forced to face her own mortality after being diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumour. After almost blowing herself and others up in an explosion at Butler’s barn, Moira’s underwent life-saving surgery to remove the mass.

    She’s come through the operation, but isn’t out of the woods yet. Now Moira has to face her next hurdle – a course of radiotherapy. Will it be the death of her? Or will the Emmerdale cast member join the list of characters who survived death yet again?

    Kathy Glover

    Fan favourite Kathy was used to her husbands dying on her, but she also came close on a few occasions.

    In 1998 the cafe owner became the victim of a hit and run after Steve Marchant accidentally ran her over. He didn’t call the police as he was carrying out a robbery at the time and it was hours before Kathy was discovered. She spent several weeks in a coma, during which time Steve tried to suffocate her with a pillow to stop her telling the police he’d been driving the car.

    Kathy was in peril again when she grew close to secret killer Graham Clark. He’d already done away with her best mate Rachel Hughes and made her death look like suicide. Graham almost killed Kathy by driving off a cliff top, but she escaped with her life.

    Then just weeks later, Kathy was one of the passengers travelling on a community bus which collided with a Tate Haulage lorry. She was one of the last ones to be freed from the wreckage, which claimed several lives.

    Kim Tate

    Queen Kim is immortal, well that’s what we’re telling ourselves. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t given us a few scares during her magnificent reign.

    Christmas 1996 was very nearly Kim’s last after she got trapped in a fire at Home Farm. But it was her lover Dave Glover who went up in flames while rescuing baby James from the blaze.

    After Kim made a triumphant return to the Dales in 2018, she was pushed off a balcony by Faith Dingle. We all feared Kim was no more, but she lived to tell the tale.

    She’s also withstood months of being poisoned by vengeful son Jamie, and most recently viewers watched in horror as Dawn drugged Kim with ketamine. But as Jamie and Dawn discovered, no one gets the better of Kim!

    Ross Barton

    Ross has always lived life on the edge, but has somehow never ended up six feet under.

    The closest Ross came was back in 2015 when Pete beat him to near death in revenge for his affair with Debbie. The audience were led to believe Pete had killed Ross after they watched him dump his body in the woods. But several weeks later it was revealed Ross had survived the attack as he made a dramatic return.

    Ross has also overcome a horrific acid attack which has left him scarred for life, and put his life on the line competing in underground boxing matches.

    Lawrence White’s list of ‘almost’ deaths was impressive

    Former lord of the manor Lawrence White finally used up his nine lives in 2018 and it was about time! The Emmerdale member’s list of near-death experiences suspended disbelief, even by the standards of the other characters.

    During his three and a bit years in the Dales, Lawrence suffered five suspected heart attacks, two of which were confirmed. He was shot in the stomach by deranged grandson Lachlan, and should have bled to death, but didn’t.

    Then in 2017, Lawrence’s life was left hanging in the balance after his foe Tim Richards tried to gas him in a car. Once again, Lawrence was rescued in the nick of time, by Lachlan of all people!

    But his number was up when Lachlan deliberately ploughed the family’s car into an oncoming lorry. Lawrence – who was travelling in the backseat – was catapulted through the windscreen and died on impact.

  • Baby for Sarah and Jacob? Emmerdale fans are convinced she’ll fall pregnant after night together

    Baby for Sarah and Jacob? Emmerdale fans are convinced she’ll fall pregnant after night together

    Fans of Emmerdale are convinced that Sarah Sugden will fall pregnant following her one-night stand with Jacob. It was revealed last night (Thursday, January 9) that the pair had hooked up following their kiss on Wednesday.

    However, Jacob cruelly dashed Sarah’s hopes for a relationship by giving her the cold shoulder afterwards. When they ran into each other in the cafe, he told her that he wasn’t ready for a relationship after Leanna – as he wasn’t ready to say goodbye to someone else he cares about.

    Jacob hurts Sarah after one-night stand

    Sarah was hurt, not least by the implication that he didn’t want to be with her because she’ll probably die young. Fuming, grandma Charity rushed over to tear a strip off of Jacob – who seems to be taking after dad David in all the worst ways.

    But has the damage already been done? Some fans think that Sarah may have fallen pregnant with Jacob’s child.

    Emmerdale fans predict pregnancy news for Sarah and Jacob

    As the scenes aired, fans took to social news to share their thoughts on Sarah‘s future. And many wondered whether nature might take its course following their liason.

    “So… how long before they say Sarah’s pregnant with Jacob’s kid? Or have they said she can’t have them?” asked one fan on X.

    “Oh please don’t you dare write that Sarah is pregnant!!!” wrote another.

    “She’s definitely gonna get pregnant then so they can have another ‘awareness’ story about how abortion can save lives,” a third said, via a Reddit comment thread.

    “Most likely. She’s 19 and hasn’t had any children yet, so overdue, plus the village needs a constant supply of new Dingles,” a fourth agreed.

    Is Sarah about to fall pregnant?

  • From Maya to Victoria, given Jacob’s history with women Charity is totally right to be concerned about Sarah

    From Maya to Victoria, given Jacob’s history with women Charity is totally right to be concerned about Sarah

    Jacob Gallagher has managed to break Sarah Sugden’s heart twice in as many weeks, and now he’s facing the wrath of her grandma, Charity.

    And frankly, we think he deserves it! Because Jacob’s history with women is, well, chequered, to say the least.

    Jacob was undoubtedly damaged by his grooming and abuse at the hands of his teacher Maya Stepney, so perhaps that’s why he’s proved very careless with the hearts of his girlfriends since.

    And that’s not really a surprise given the role models he has. His dad David Metcalfe is a serial monogamist who has a long list of failed marriages and relationships to his name. Not to mention very questionable taste in partners – Maya was his girlfriend when she was grooming teenage Jacob, and he also had a very toxic romance with serial killer Meena Jutla.

    And let’s not forget that Jacob’s mum Leyla Harding has been very unlucky in love.

    But while all that is a reason for Jacob being so careless with other people’s feelings, we don’t reckon it’s an excuse. Here’s a rundown of all his romances and where they went wrong – perhaps next time he’ll get it right.

    Jacob’s history with women: Liv Flaherty

    Liv liked Jacob but he didn’t feel the same way – until he did. But it turned out his youthful romance with Liv was actually a cover for his grim abuse at the hands of Maya.

    Jacob was so determined to keep his feelings for Maya a secret that he used Liv, not caring about how she felt. Not cool, Jacob.

    Maya Stepney

    Of course, Jacob’s bad behaviour at that time wasn’t entirely his fault – he was being groomed by teacher Maya. She convinced him that the pair were in love. Maya was in a relationship with Jacob’s dad David at the time, but she still managed to persuade Jacob – who was just 15 when their romance began – that they were meant to be. When Jacob turned 16, the pair slept together.

    It took Jacob a while to realise that their relationship was based on Maya’s manipulation and he struggled to get over it. Maya was later jailed for exchanging inappropriate text messages with Jacob.

    Leanna Cavanagh

    With his heart still shattered after Maya, Jacob turned to Leanna who had feelings for him. They slept together but Leanna – who had never slept with a boy before – was devastated when he turned on her. He told her he’d only slept with her because she was nice to him. He said he’d never be into her.

    Jacob did see the error of his ways, and apologised to Leanna. She forgave him and the pair agreed to go back to being friends.

    But the pair grew closer and by Leanna’s 18th birthday they were in love and planning to go travelling together.

    Tragedy struck though when Leanna was murdered by Meena, leaving Jacob’s heart shattered once more.

    Jacob’s history with women: Victoria Sugden

    It took Jacob a long time to recover from Leanna’s death, and when he eventually fell in love again, Emmerdale viewers were not on board!

    Because Jacob fell for his dad’s ex-girlfriend Victoria Sugden!

    Victoria was in fact closer in age to Jacob than she had been to David, but she was still nine years his senior, and her previous role as his sort-of-step-mum made the whole thing feel a bit ick.

    The pair were really into each other, and ploughed on with their romance despite the disapproval of everyone around them.

    David was so horrified by his son’s new relationship that he disowned him and moved to London (which we can’t help thinking was a bit of an over-reaction). Leyla wasn’t happy about it either, and nor was Jacob’s grandfather, Eric Pollard.

    But the romance was short-lived (thankfully because it made us cringe).

    Sarah Sugden

    Now Jacob’s being hot and cold with Vic’s niece, Sarah. He’s admitted he likes her but he’s worried about her health condition that could mean she dies young. And he’s already upset her by criticising her drinking when she ended up in A&E, and flaunting one-night-stand Sian in the village.

    Could they make a go of things? Only time will tell.

  • How old is Sarah in Emmerdale? Fans not impressed with her Jacob hook-up as they insist she’s ‘a child’

    How old is Sarah in Emmerdale? Fans not impressed with her Jacob hook-up as they insist she’s ‘a child’

    Last night’s episode of Emmerdale saw two young village residents hook up as Jacob Gallagher and Sarah Sugden shared a kiss. This followed a tough week for the pair, as Sarah felt rejected by Jacob, who seemed to have moved on with new friends and a new girl.

    As he embarrassed Sarah by talking about her illness in front of his new mates, Jacob then embarrassed her by giving her a hard time about drinking. Outside, he apologised and, as they shared a moment, the pair kissed outside of The Woolpack.

    Fans were left shocked by Jacob’s actions, and were left wondering how old Sarah is supposed to be, anyway.

    Emmerdale fans dismayed as Sarah hooks up with Jacob

    Writing on X and Instagram as the scenes aired, viewers shared their thoughts on Sarah and Jacob‘s fledgling romance. And, while some thought it was sweet, others were less than impressed.

    “Vic was way more suited than a child,” said one fan of Jacob’s new girl – referring to his most recent ex, Victoria.

    “How old are they suppose to be?!” asked another.

    “Why is Jacob always given love interests with an age gap? Sarah’s a fair few years younger than him, right?” said a third.

    “Anyone else feel uncomfortable with Sarah and Jacob?” another asked.

    But how old is Sarah anyway?

    How old is Sarah in Emmerdale?

    Sarah might seem younger due to her somewhat childish behaviour, but she’s actually 19 years old – having been born in 2005. Jacob, meanwhile, is almost 21, and was born in February 2003.

    A couple of years difference, but not a problematic one. Jacob has a sad history when it comes to age-gap relationships – having being groomed by teacher Maya not long after his 16th birthday. Last year, he embarked on a relationship with his dad’s ex, Victoria, which, while consensual, raised a few eyebrows.

    On paper, Jacob and Sarah might seem like a good fit, but some have questioned his treatment of women – even comparing him to his lothario dad, David.

    Time will tell whether his relationship with Sarah breaks a toxic cycle.

    Things seemed to be going well for Jacob and Sarah at the start, but that quickly changed. After Sarah turned up drunk to his first day of his A&E placement the pair shared some harsh words.

    It got even worse when Sarah spotted Jacob kissing a girl who had spent the night at his house.

    Tonight, he and his medical student friends are all out together, leaving Sarah feeling even more excluded from Jacob. Her embarrassment is heightened whenever they realise she was the drunk girl in A&E.

    2. Jacob feels guilty in Emmerdale spoilers

    After his medical student friends start to have a go at Sarah for her drunk antics, Jacob starts to feel guilty.

    Clearly seeing it’s having an impact on Sarah, he apologises for his recent behaviour.

    Sarah forgives him, and it seems the pair could be back on the right path. Will it last? Or will something else come in between them?

    A new Emmerdale theory has predicted Sarah could be one of the deaths from the flashforwards…

    3. Ruby and Steph’s bonding time is halted

    This week Ruby decided to learn the truth about who Steph’s father really is. And so she sent away a DNA test.

    Afterwards, she has been wanting to spend as much mother and daughter time with Steph as possible, clearly concerned for what their future holds.

    It’s been going well, as the pair headed off on a spa trip, then continued to bond when they got home. But that changes again tonight.

    Steph finds another old photo – this time from when Ruby was pregnant with her. Once again, the image brings back the memories, and her current concerns. So when Steph tries to chat about the photo, the tension rises.

    4. Laurel and Rhona have a chat

    Rhona was angry to learn that Laurel made a move on Marlon after she relapsed on alcohol and he helped her through it. And she was even more annoyed that Marlon kept it a secret from her.

    After Marlon asked Rhona to keep it a secret, she confided in her mum, Mary – who may have been more angry about it than anyone.

    While everyone was searching for April, Mary took her chance and called Laurel out for her behaviour, which led to even more issues between Marlon and Rhona.

    But in Emmerdale spoilers for tonight Laurel and Rhona have a conversation that seems to put their friendship back on the right track.

    5. Marlon records a video in Emmerdale spoilers

    April hasn’t been seen since going missing on Christmas Day. Despite the villagers not giving up and continuing to look for her everyday, there’s been no luck.

    Earlier this week, Marlon’s friends tried to encourage him to do an online appeal directly to April, to gather more widespread support.

    While he was initially against the idea, tonight he decides a video is the only way to progress. So he proceeds to film and upload it – but will it help? And where is April?

  • Sarah is dead in flashforward that saw Cain crying over a grave, new fan theory predicts

    Sarah is dead in flashforward that saw Cain crying over a grave, new fan theory predicts

    A new fan theory suggests Sarah Sugden could be at risk in Emmerdale. As the clock hit midnight on New Year’s Eve in the village, we were treated to a number of flashforwards that will take place this year. And more than one of them hinted at an Emmerdale death.

    In one of the scenes, Cain was standing over a fresh grave crying, visibly heartbroken at losing whoever was buried there.

    But while we literally have no idea about the who, what, when and how, all we can do is hope that our favourites are safe. As it looks like anybody could be taken away from us.

    Could Sarah die in Emmerdale?

    Right now all we have to go on is our own theories. And one of them suggests Sarah Sugden is the Emmerdale death.

    Sarah has a heart condition which has taken centre stage in the show on numerous occasions. But when she got a transplant, she faded from the storylines.

    Now, she’s back in the show quite frequently, and this alone was enough to get viewers suspicious of the show’s intentions.

    Quite spontaneously Sarah also began having feelings for Jacob, and while it’s not been smooth sailing, the pair do evidently like each other.

    Then in last night’s episode (January 2), during Jacob’s first day on A&E placement, Charity rushed Sarah into the hospital as she collapsed due to excessive drinking. Which wasn’t the smartest decision considering her health issues.

    One fan shared their theory that Sarah could die on X (formerly Twitter).

    They wrote: “I still think Sarah could be the one in the grave that Cain is crying beside in the flashforward. It’s so random that she has not been on the scene for ages. Then all of a sudden she is there and drinking to block out her pain.”

    If Sarah keeps drinking to try and get rid of her feelings, then she could end up causing damage to herself and risks her heart condition getting worse again.

    If Sarah was the Emmerdale death then this would have huge ramifications for quite a lot of people in the village. And it would make complete sense as to why Cain looked so distraught in the flashforward.

    Emmerdale death theories

    While some may think Emmerdale wouldn’t kill a younger character, it was only one year ago they did exactly that to Heath Hope. And since then, the younger cast members have been stealing the spotlight.

    If making an impact is what Emmerdale is going for, then killing off a character from the show’s most popular family is certainly a way to do just that.

    However, right now it’s just speculation. Other names that fans are considering include Moira because of her current brain tumour story. And some are holding onto the theory that Nate was murdered and his body is hidden somewhere – so could it be him?

    We just have to wait and see how it all plays out.

    Marlon continues to struggle

    Marlon Dingle has a terrible start to the week, which is made even worse when the family liaison officer says they have no new leads.

    Before her disappearance, Ross Barton told April the terrible truth about the death of her mum Donna Windsor. This caused April to spiral a bit and she took to drinking and bunking off school. She also accused her dad of lying to her. Could this be a reason for her running away?

    With no sign of his daughter, Marlon agrees to letting the police search the cottage, but will they find anything?
