Emmerdale tragedy as beloved resident dies in factory fire

An Emmerdale favourite is set to perish in the blaze...

There’s devastation heading to Emmerdale next week when a terrifying fire rips through the factory, trapping Tracy Metcalfe inside.

Emmerdale bosses have confirmed that one of the village’s most-loved residents will die in a fire set to hit the Sharma factory next week – and it appears the blaze isn’t an accident after Amy and Kerry Wyatt unwittingly set the building alight.

The drama starts when Amy and Kerry find themselves desperate to get their hands on a large sum of cash so that they can pay back Amy’s solicitor, Karen, who she stole from back in Belfast.

But following the Wild West fundraiser the day before, Kerry can’t help but think about all that money that is sitting in the factory safe, and she comes up with a plan to steal it to help out her daughter.

Making sure the coast is clear, Kerry sets off the fire alarm and manages to steal the charity cash without anyone seeing her. Or so she thinks…

Later on she is horrified to realise that she would have been caught on CCTV and Amy tells her they have got to cover their tracks, or they’ll be in huge trouble.

The pair head back to the factory, and this time they set about sabotaging the CCTV before making a hasty exit… thinking that they have just got away with the perfect crime.

But what they don’t realise is their actions have caused an electrical spark and the damaged cameras cause a fire to break out.

As she walks away, she is convinced that her troubles are finally over. However, little does she know her problems are only just beginning…

Back at the factory, the fire is starting to spread. As the flames take hold, everyone’s horrified to see the place is on fire.
