Emmerdale’s horror car crash revealed after James Barton caught by deranged ex Emma
The village will never be the same again as the huge car pile up has been revealed and at least one village
Death has come to Emmerdale.
Shocking pictures of the horror car crash that leaves at least one villager dead have been revealed by ITV.
Paddy Kirk and Rhona Goskirk are left unconscious in their car as dementia-sufferer ex Vicar Ashley Thomas stands bleeding amidst the wreckage.
It comes after Emma Barton's twisted plan to trap ex-husband James in her house and isolate him from the world until he loves her again came to a thrilling climax she tracked him down after his escape.
Fighting back after she held him captive for days, James knocked her to the floor and made his escape, but before he could find his way to safety, she tracked him down and confronted him in the woods.
“The main starting points were Groundhog Day and Final Destination,” producer Iain told The Sun Online last week.
"The idea being that metaphorically the Grim Reaper stalks the village and we know someone’s going to cop it, but we don’t know who.”
But in a dramatic twist, the episodes will all begin showing scenes from an upcoming funeral where one - or more - characters are laid to rest.
Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden were involved in a horrifying incident that threatens to rip them apart - and devastate the millions of 'Robron' fans.
As an unusually nervous Robert prepared to propose to boyfriend Aaron, he was stopped in his tracks by Lachlan, who being suspicious of Robert's relationship with his aunt Rebecca, threatened to pretend Robert sexually abused him in order to keep him away from his family.
But when Aaron overhears Lachlan’s plans, he attacked the troublesome teen and bundled him into the boot of his car. Viewers watched as Robert and Aaron's car was about to crash into something with Lachlan in the boot.
The love triangle between Pierce, Paddy and Rhona also came to a dramatic point with all three seemingly involved in the crash.

Producer Iain revealed that he had been planning the epic week for ten months, and promised it would only get better and more dramatic as the episodes progress.
He said: “In essence what we knew was that we wanted to do this big cataclysm at the end of the week. That we wanted the first four episodes to funnel towards that.”
Iain admitted that there was a lot of ‘horse trading’ in order to get all the stunts in to epic effect - but the impressive spectacle all came in under budget.
“It’s not my job to worry about the budget,” Iain added of the impressive stunts shown during the week of episodes. "Collectively we did, it’s not an inexpensive thing to do.
"Once we got into filming there was never a point where we thought we were not going to do this. In the run up to it there was a lot of horse trading done over which bits we could justify and which bits we couldn’t.”
Iain added: “It’s good to come in and make a big noise and have people tune in who don’t normally tune in.
"Now and again, it’s nice to do something on a slightly grander scale so people sit up and take notice.”
