Tonight, viewers saw Amelia (Daisy Campbell) give birth to a baby girl with Noah beside her - well, for some of it.
Dan was thrilled but is still reeling from Harriet's death, while Vinny struggled to cope and in distressing scenes we saw him break down at the conclusion of tonight's drama.

But it was Samson's fate which got people talking.
The camera panned across a field and showed Samson's phone utterly smashed in, and the boy nowhere to be seen.
Now viewers are sharing their best theories about what happened.

@davidmackayy said: "I have a strong feeling Samson has either been eaten by Moira’s cows or he’s gone to the land of oz"
@katmarbax said: "Nah the cows have definitely eaten Samson for a snack"
@jamal0612271 said: "Don't even think about killing Samson off Emmerdale. There are certain folk in this soap that need killing off, and their still in the village"

@pikstube said: "Oh dear. Samson hit by a killer carrier bag that wrapped round his face and suffocated him. Then a juvenile silver birch tree fell on him and his fate was sealed. Alone in a field. The drama keeps on coming, doesn't"
@comedyeats said: "Samson must be stuck under a tree that would kill him if anyone move it, so the ambulance men have been & gone and there was no vet around to pass the prognosis on to."
@abieoliver said: "They killed Samson?! Damn... They're really going through the Dingles, aren't they?"
@itzzo said: "If Samson has died it’d be very easy to lose the character when he was going through a time where he was a horrible character than it would be during a time where he was a lovely #Emmerdale character we all loved."
@ebonywan said: "So, two people died because of the storm. Samson hasn't been seen for a good while and they're just assuming he's alright? Okay, that makes sense!"
@gemmarosedixon said: "so is samson dead or?"
And some viewers were confused by Amelia's baby, which they thought would never be held by Amelia in the hospital while it was born so prematurely.
@stphnsmn87 said: "Talk about unrealistic,no way in hell would she be allowed to hold that baby when it’s that premature."
@chris1968E said: "if Amelia's baby was so premature how the hell is she holding it now. Unless the barn she was in was a time hole"
@salhypes said: "Sorry to be a nitpicking little bugger, but a baby who is 8 weeks premature would be in the neonatal intensive care unit wouldn’t it?"
It's safe to say storm week has certainly had fans talking - and the 50th anniversary drama continues on Friday at 7.30pm.
