Emmerdale’s bosses have dropped a bombshell teaser for what’s in store this chilly February, hinting at a frosty fate for some of the soap’s faves.
The nail-biting plot teases a horrific car smash-up and a deadly icy lake scenario, leaving fans on tenterhooks as multiple characters’ lives dangle by a thread. In a spine-chilling flash-forward clip that hit screens on New Year’s Eve, ITV buffs caught sight of a desperate hand punching through the ice-cold darkness, clawing for dear life.
Now everyone’s gabbing about whose mitt it is and if they’ll make it out alive. The jaw-dropping stunts, which were shot in the dead of night pre-Christmas, saw the crew bring in a crack team of special effects whizzes to whip up a dodgy frozen pond right on the village outskirts.
