Emmerdale to air three epic stunts and dramatic cliffhanger as characters face death

Emmerdale 's producers Jane Hudson and Kate Brooks have teased what fans can expect from the big 50th episodes and beyond.

Amid confirmation there would be "death and destruction", the soap bosses have said three almighty stunts will unfold during the big storm week.

Not only that, but there will be a massive cliffhanger to really keep viewers on edge - and scenes that will spark storylines which will continue into next year.

Whatever happens during the big storm week, there will be lasting consequences for the months and years ahead it seems.

Teasing the month and beyond, Jane said: "I think the richness of the storylines across this month will be talked about for a long time.

"We have so many stories across one month and alongside that, we have three epic stunts. We don’t die down after the stunts either because we end on a huge cliff-hanger."

Jane went on: "We will be having some huge stunts, big emotional heartache, secrets, lies, comedy and sadly, some of the soap’s much-loved characters will sadly lose their lives.

"There will be funerals, a wedding with Kim and Will and a birth. Three of Emmerdale ’s favourite old characters are also returning – Aaron Dingle, played by Danny Miller, Diane Sugden, played by Elizabeth Estensen, and Tracy Metcalfe, played by Amy Walsh.

"There will be a huge storm that will wreak damage on the entire village and change everyone’s lives forever. It’s going to be a very special month and we hope everyone will really enjoy it all. But the 50th is not just a celebration of Emmerdale – it is a celebration of what makes soaps great."

Fellow producer Kate also had her say, revealing: "There will be a lot of high-octane drama and as we all know, there is always drama around Kim Tate!

"You can expect things to not run smoothly especially as Harriet still has feelings for Will. Faith’s cancer journey takes a rocky turning, which has repercussions for both Cain and Chas. The storylines and the impact of what happens will propel us into 2023."
