This Christmas, Emmerdale Village will be rocked by a major soap opera death. ITV has already filmed the character’s death, funeral, and burial, so we can confirm that one resident will soon meet their end. Because shows like Emmerdale and Coronation Street film so far in advance, spoilers sometimes surface from the tours given to fans. This was the case for an Emmerdale fan from Dublin who traveled to England for the tour, which did not disappoint. She shared a range of photos taken during her visit around the village in a Facebook fan group. She captured shots of Mill Cottage, the iconic Woolpack, and a recently dug graveyard.
“I did the Emmerdale tour on Saturday and got to meet the lovely Billy J. Consul,” she tweeted alongside the photos. “Our first trip in and last flight out from Dublin was wonderful!” There’s also a new grave in view. Any guesses on whose it is? I told Billy it better not be his grave, and he assured me it wasn’t—but that he’s involved in a storyline!”
While the grave’s details remain mysterious, it’s located near Val Pollard’s, who recently passed away. At present, we know that Daisy Campbell, who plays Amelia Spencer, Roxy Shahidi, and Lesley Dunlop are leaving their roles as Leanna Harding and Brenda Walker, respectively. However, Daisy hinted that the door remains open for Amelia’s possible return.
It’s uncertain exactly how Brenda will exit the show, but could the grave belong to her character? It’s been stated that Leanna will die as part of Roxy’s exit storyline, though we’re left guessing if this might also involve someone else.
