Emmerdale fans could be braced for a sensational triple tragedy as forthcoming scenes hint at a “disaster” set to rip through the heart of the village.
Lives hang in balance with a potential stunt poised to end in catastrophe after a night out escalates into chaos. Yet, the threat of doom looms larger, with teasers suggesting as many as three or four characters might meet their untimely demise.
In a tantalising flashforward sequence, one resident is seen flatlining, while elsewhere funeral proceedings suggest another villager’s days are numbered. Adding to the turmoil, a murder revelation stuns as a body, shrouded in dark material, is hastily concealed in a river, the Mirror reports.
The peril continues with someone ensnared beneath sheets of ice, their fate uncertain. Preview footage also captures a villager fleeing in terror – what or who has instilled such fear?
Speculation is rife that Leyla Harding could be among those killed off, especially after gossips claimed her character was marked for departure. Could this spell out further bloodshed and despair on the horizon?
Mackenzie Boyd is the character seen in a frenzied sprint for his life, but who is chasing him, and will he make it out alive? As for the body bag, we have no idea who is in there but its safe to say they’ve been murdered.

A mystery character is also seen kicking the wrapped body into a river clearly trying to cover up the death but who is it that meets this grim fate and who orchestrates their end?
Meanwhile, Cain Dingle’s grave-side breakdown raises more questions in these gripping plotlines intertwining to keep viewers on the edge.
We’re left guessing who the grave belongs to, with flowers adorning it and Cain appearing in funeral attire. Could it be his brother Caleb Miligan meeting his end, as suggested by another flashforward showing him flatlining in hospital?
What fate awaits him? If not Caleb, then who is Cain grieving for? Is he about to lose his wife Moira Dingle in her fight against a brain tumour?
Of course, this could all be a clever misdirection, and perhaps no one actually dies. Could it be a dream sequence, or are we really about to say goodbye to several characters?
Another death may be hinted at as an unidentified character is seen trapped under ice, desperately trying to break free. Intriguingly, Dawn Taylor and Joe Tate appear in the scene just before this clip. Has Dawn sought revenge for her father’s death? Is it Joe beneath the ice?
Viewers will have to keep watching for more details and to discover who survives and who doesn’t.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
