Emmerdale is lining up big scenes for the start of 2023, ahead of further drama, secrets and huge storylines a few months down the line.
Kyle Winchester will take centre stage as his killer actions finally come to light - while it's not clear if he will face the consequences just yet.
Cain Dingle could be back in the village, as he remains in prison for the time being after taking the blame for Al Chapman's murder for Kyle.
His long-lost brother Caleb has just arrived too, so there's all the fallout to that bombshell yet to air.
Elsewhere, some characters make big changes for 2023 as other characters will be explored. Here's a rundown of what's ahead for the start of January...
Kyle's secret exposed
New spoilers confirm the walls are closing in on Kyle, after he accidentally shot dead Al Chapman in October.
As he continues to struggle with what he did, his family find it more and more difficult to cover it all up.
In looming scenes at the start of January, Moira, Matty, Mackenzie and Amy all find themselves taken in for questioning by the police.
It all results in Kyle confessing to the police that he was the one that shot Al - but will they believe him?
Someone else who finds out is Al's secret lover and Kyle's aunt Chas Dingle, who is mortified by the news - but her heart breaks for him when she realises he is genuinely remorseful.
Caleb sparks chaos
There's more to come from Caleb following his arrival on Christmas Day.
