Emmerdale bosses have promised a month of high-octane drama for the soap’s 50th anniversary – with plenty of heartbreaking deaths.
Executive producer Jane Hudson, along with producers Kate Brooks and Laura Shaw, vow that each character death will bring a “different emotion” – which confirms that more than one fan-favourite will meet their demise.
It has already been confirmed that Dingle matriarch Faith Dingle succumbs to her terminal cancer diagnosis next week, but there is plenty more drama on the cards.

Boss Jane Hudson explained the difficulty of killing someone off, as it means an actor losing their job as well as fans losing an on-screen favourite.

She explained: “It is always hard to kill a character as someone is losing their job. You don’t want somebody to lose their job. But the nature of soaps means if you want to introduce new characters, then you need to lose old ones.
“If you are going to do a death in the soap, it can’t be the postman who has had three lines because it doesn’t matter.
“A death has got to have an impact not just on the characters but also on the viewers watching. Each of our deaths will bring a different emotion.”

Laura, meanwhile, promised “a lot of heartache” in the month of October.
She explained: “There is going to be a lot of heartache involved in October and the rivalry between Cain and Al is really going to step up a gear. Al and Chas have grown a lot closer now but will their affair finally be exposed? Viewers will have to wait and see!”

As Kate added: “There will be a lot of high-octane drama and as we all know, there is always drama around Kim Tate! You can expect things to not run smoothly especially as Harriet still has feelings for Will.
“Faith’s cancer journey takes a rocky turning, which has repercussions for both Cain and Chas. The storylines and the impact of what happens will propel us into 2023.”
