Following the Corriedale accident, Emmerdale didn’t slow down – instead, it pushed the plot to a tragic peak with two shocking deaths in quick succession.

ITV confirmed “another unexpected death” will occur in the episodes immediately following the crossover, and this time, it’s not an accident – ​​but a chilling murder in the village of Dales.

According to internal sources, the victim is believed to be connected to Ray Walters – the villain behind the series of crimes involving the manipulation and abuse of April Windsor.

His death was filmed in a “dark thriller” style: an empty house, blood on the floor, and an unsigned suicide note.

But the tragedy doesn’t stop there – his mother, Celia Daniels, is also found dead just a few episodes later, plunging Dales into rumors of a bloody revenge plot.

While Officer Hotten relentlessly investigates, old secrets are brought to light. Seemingly innocent characters – from Cain to Chas – are indirectly involved. The community of Emmerdale is shaken by the possibility that an “insider” might be the culprit. And if so, this crime is not just a case – it’s a haunting specter for the entire Dales.

Meanwhile, a scene in the trailer leaves viewers breathless: a woman tied up in a van, trying to escape amidst smoke and flames, hinting at a larger criminal conspiracy. Could this be a continuation of what Becky did at Weatherfield? ITV hints that Emmerdale 2026 will “transcend the usual soap opera genre – becoming a story of survival, guilt, and redemption.”
