Emmerdale has confirmed that 17 lives will be in danger next week as the soap airs a double road disaster.
The fates of much-loved characters will hang in the balance after plans for an exciting night on the town go horribly wrong.
Emmerdale‘s big storyline sees two groups of villagers head off in separate limos for a fun night.
Kerry Wyatt takes centre stage after winning a limo trip in a raffle.
She immediately plans a glamorous girls’ night, inviting Amy Wyatt, Tracy Metcalfe, Vanessa Woodfield, Suzy Merton, Chas Dingle, Leyla Cavanagh, Mandy Dingle and Charity Dingle to join her.
Liam Cavanagh is bitterly disappointed when he doesn’t win the prize, as he’d hoped to use the opportunity to propose to Chas.
Keen to keep his romantic plans alive, Liam begs Suzy to get hold of another limo.
As Chas will be part of Kerry’s night, Liam tries to cover his intentions for the evening by arranging a boys’ night involving Mackenzie Boyd, Sam Dingle, Bear Wolf, Matty Barton, Caleb Miligan, Cain Dingle and Paddy Dingle.
In scenes airing on Friday, February 14, there are lively scenes on Main Street as the two groups approach their respective limos.
The vehicles have been dropped off with no drivers, so Caleb and Charity agree to take on the roles of chauffeurs for the evening.
Cain fails to pick up on his brother’s dark mood that evening, as Caleb is secretly livid after finally discovering the truth about his recent betrayal with Ruby.
As the two journeys get under way, the atmosphere in the girls’ limo is chaotic as the booze flows.
In the boys’ vehicle, the mood starts to turn sour and a huge row breaks out.
Both drivers end up badly distracted by the unfolding drama, so the two limos separately swerve off the road in unrelated accidents.
One limo crashes onto a frozen lake, leaving that group in a perilous position as the ice begins to crack.
Meanwhile, a flashforward to later that night shows an unknown hand desperately pounding on the ice from the depths of the water.
With a stunt sequence this big, surely everyone won’t make it out alive?
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Friday, February 14 on ITV1 and ITVX.
