Emmerdale’s Ellis Champman (Aaron Anthony) finds himself in grave danger in the new year at the hands of village bad boy Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).
The villager will be left for dead as Cain blames him for a terrifying situation involving Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and Kyle Dingle (Huey Quinn).
Ellis will take Belle and Kyle away on an excursion to the forest just after Christmas.
When Ellis receives a call from his other love interest Priya Kotecha (Fiona Wade), he has to leave abruptly.
Belle then realises that Ellis has her car keys, which means that she has been left abandoned with Kyle in freezing conditions.
In scenes set to air in the New Year, Kyle gets admitted to hospital following the terrifying ordeal.
In the hospital, Cain worries about Kyle and in a fit of rage, orders Marlon (Mark Charnock) to evict Ellis from Tall Trees – thus beginning a war between the Dingles and the Chapmans.
Meanwhile, Cain goes searching for Ellis. And that night, out on the moors, Cain abandons a terrified Ellis in the middle of nowhere as retribution for putting Kyle in hospital.
Out on the moors, a freezing Ellis is curled up on the floor with bloodied, bare feet.
Meanwhile, Al Chapman (Michael Wildman) and Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) worry about Ellis’ whereabouts after realising that he didn’t show up to the B&B last night and soon find out he’s been spotted with Cain.
Al angrily confronts Cain and accuses him of harming Ellis but Cain holds his nerve and is able to feign accountability.
Later, Cain is sickened to find Al watching Kyle sleep in his hospital room. Al implicitly threatens Kyle as he warns Cain to stop playing games.
Cain is also angered when Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) reveals Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) kicked him out for cheating and refuses to let him stay with him.
As Cain’s underlying rage comes close to boiling over, distraught, Nate returns to Tug Ghyll in an attempt to pick up his stuff and visit his daughter but is turned away by a fuming Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick).
Tracy’s hurt that Nate hasn’t tried to see Frankie. Vanessa comforts her, uneasily hiding Nate’s attempted visit the day before.
