Emmerdale: Harriet Finch gets caught up in the storm

Last month a storm hit Emmerdale.

When Harriet discovered pregnant Amelia Spencer was stuck outside in the storm somewhere, she went out to look for her.

She took a quad bike to look through the woods. But when she swerved to avoid a falling tree, she came off the bike and fell into a ravine.

The quad bike soon followed and trapped Harriet.

Soon Harriet’s love-rival Kim came along on her horse and despite their argument earlier that day, Kim helped her.

She managed to free Harriet but when she went to get help her horse ran off, frightened by the storm.

The quad bike exploded sending Kim flying. She hit her head on a rock and fell unconscious for some time.

But when she woke up and went to check on Harriet, she was dead.

Kim retuned to Home Farm and told Will, Dawn and Billy what happened to Harriet.
