Emmerdale fans have been left reeling after a first look from the ITV soap has shown a fan favourite killed off ahead of the historic crossover episode with Coronation Street
Emmerdale has shocked fans by killing off favourite ahead of special Corriedale crossover later tonight.
ITV have been sharing teasers ahead of the big event – which will see a historic episode featuring characters from both Coronation Street and Emmerdale – with the latest causing a stir. In it, Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) was killed off. The first look showed his body wrapped in tarpaulin being dragged through the village.
But his murderer is still a mystery. Several character look suspicious, including Rhona Goskirk, Marlon Dingle and Laurel Thomas. April Windsor has also been put into the frame.
As for who is innocent, Ray killed his own adopted mother Celia Daniels on New Year’s Day and she said she had killed Bear Wolf, meaning he couldn’t have done it.
The latest twist took place just before the historic crossover between the soaps – set to take place over a “catastrophic” car crash.
So far, Emmerdale’s Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell), Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), with Weatherfield icons such as David Platt (Jack P Shepherd), Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney), Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce), Carla Connor (Alison King) and Ken Barlow (William Roache) could meet devastation.
Perhaps most interestingly, fans will be able to cast their votes and decide which characters will come face to face in the historic episode. Last year, fans were asked to write up their dream pairings.
It was then shortlisted into four pairings. All four scenes were written and filmed, with the winning duo yet to be confirmed.
ITV bosses will close the voting 15 minutes before the show is set to air and choosing the correct ending during the episode.
Everything has been kept strictly under wraps, but fans think they’ve rumbled who will die from Weatherfield. One keen Reddit user predicted a death of beloved character – with clues to back it up.
They wrote: “I feel like it is almost definite that Billy will die in Corriedale and here’s why. Obviously it is now common knowledge that Billy’s exit is near, however it is not confirmed whether that will be in Corriedale.
“Daniel Brocklebank posted on his instagram his last filming day with Harriet Bibby on November 17th. As we all know, Corrie is filmed 6-8 weeks ahead of airing schedule. 6 weeks ahead of November 17th is January 5th (the date of Corriedale).
“I’m probably clutching at straws here but yeah”.
