“Some of our best-loved villagers will be in peril and it’s safe to say that literally the village won’t be the same after this,” soap bosses said, at an Emmerdale press event.
“It’ll never be the same again.”
The village is no stranger to death and destruction.
Remembering previous tragedies
In previous years, the soap has suffered plane crashes, blazing fires and water rapid tragedy.
In late 2003, the village was struck by another catastrophic storm, which killed Tricia Dingle.
However, Emmerdale bosses promised that this version will be far bigger. “In terms of filming, it’s quite unprecedented in terms of scale,” boss Kate Brooks revealed.
“There are elements of the big storm week that I’ve never seen in a soap drama before.”
Who will survive, and what will be left of them?
