Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw has admitted that crew on the ITV soap were left speechless over her plans for a stunt that has never been seen before on Emmerdale.
Lives will be left hanging in the balance as various residents go head-to-head in dark scenes.
The beginning of the week will begin with a flashforward, with viewers having to put the pieces together throughout the week about what exactly happened.
Teasing what viewers could expect, Laura said: "As well as all the exciting drama the week is going to feature stunts and action too. We've filmed a fairly big stunt which has been really exciting to plan and build.
"I don't think we've done anything like it before - not in the 20 years that I've been at Emmerdale anyway - and we've had a lot of conversations and scratchings of head as to how we could achieve it.
"I remember us coming up with the story idea and we all sat in a big meeting room and I kind of pitched this idea and said, 'This is what I want us to do'. And I think everyone sat looking at me in stunned silence for about two minutes before everyone brilliantly just jumped in with a million brilliant ideas of how we could do it.
"In the end we had to build a very special prop, which we'll see in the episodes, to make the stunt work and how we need it to do it safely, of course."
The soap will be using brand new filming techniques to ensure the stunt is even more explosive and impactful than ever.
"We've also used some new filming techniques on one of the stunts, which makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the action and I can tell you it's absolutely terrifying!
"Again, I don't think we've ever done it on Emmerdale before so it was really great to watch a hugely talented team do new and exciting things and make the show look absolutely incredible."
We can't wait!
*Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV, with hour-long episodes on Thursdays
