Emmerdale teases fire horror and new death twist tonight as exit ‘sealed’

Emmerdale is lining up scenes of danger on the ITV soap on Thursday, as a fire twist has been teased.

Not only that, but one fan favourite could be heading out of the Dales for good amid a rumoured double exit, while there is also some “shell-shocking” death news. Thursday’s hour-long visit to the Dales will see pregnant Belle Dingle face peril, when a fire starts at her home.

But Belle’s hopes for safety could be diminished after she is locked in the house. As she decides to cook some dinner on the hob, she seems to forget about it and goes for a nap.

With the food cooking away, suddenly a tea towel starts to singe in the kitchen and causes a fire while Belle and dog Piper are asleep. But will she realise what is happening in time, or could tragedy strike?

Elsewhere, and Ruby Miligan prepares to confess to causing the hit and run that recently injured Ethan Anderson. Ethan collapsed and died days later while it wasn’t known if the crash was the cause of his death.

Nicky Miligan has been putting pressure on his mother Ruby after learning the truth, with him refusing to be near her. While Ruby is feeling guilty, her secret has left Nicky disgusted with him eager for her to hand herself into the police.

She decides to do this during Thursday’s episode, wanting to make amends with her son. Her partner Caleb tries to convince her otherwise but her mind is made up.

Ruby prepares to visit Ethan’s grieving dad Charles to tell him the truth, but when she gets to his home she is left stunned by a discovery. Charles is said to be shell-shocked when he reveals the coroner has established a cause of death for Ethan – but what does it mean for Ruby, and how would Charles react if she does reveal the truth about what she did to his son?

Viewers will have to tune in on Thursday to find out as Ethan’s funeral arrives, and his family gather to say goodbye.
