Emmerdale will see yet another tragic event in the village next week which will leave at least one resident dead.
Bosses at the ITV soap are remaining tight-lipped about what happens and who loses their life but the dramatic scenes will unfold during next Thursday’s double helping of episodes.
Fans are already speculating that it could be Gerry Roberts who ends up leaving in a body bag after turning detective on friend Lachlan White.
Lachlan (played by Thomas Atkinson) let his darker impulses take over last year, when he used a car crash to murder his mother, Chrissie, and grandfather Lawrence.
And now he’s desperate to keep the truth hidden – and anyone who knows what happened is in danger.
After leaving a confession on a voicemail to his friend Gerry Roberts (Shaun Thomas), Lachlan put himself in danger, and is working to undo it.
His first – and less violent – attempt appeared to have worked.
He deleted the voicemail from Gerry’s phone, which seemed to be the only piece of evidence he needed to cover up.
But now it looks like Gerry might have heard the confession after all.
The trailer then shows the two friends on a secluded construction site, with Lachlan appearing to intimidate his friend.
It ends with Gerry crying for help, as Lachlan puts his head in his hands.
So is Lachlan prepared to kill his best friend in order to stay safe? Or is he ready to own up?
Watch the new ITV Emmerdale trailer here.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
