Emmerdale 50th birthday episode spoilers: Birth drama and wedding in chaos

Emmerdale has released spoilers detailing what happens during the ITV soap's big 50th birthday episode, to air on the exact date the soap first launched a half-century ago.

The soap airs an hour-long episode this coming Sunday, to mark the milestone - 50 years on from the very first episode in 1972.

As well as nods to that first episode, there is plenty of action to celebrate the moment in style - including a wedding and a possible birth.

New spoilers released ahead of the big storm week have revealed what goes down on Sunday night, during the special birthday episode.

The scenes are just before the storm takes hold, and they lead into carnage as the wind picks up.

The opening sequences is just like that of the launch episode, as Kim rides her horse around the village, while Moira Barton is seen looking out across her farm and in the village, Dawn and Lucas set a red kite off up over the houses.

Touching moments see Eric Pollard visiting the grave of his late wife Val, while hints of drama see Kim and Harriet making it clear they have unfinished business.

Kim and Will's wedding is up in the air, after Kim overheard his conversation with ex Harriet, who was trying to stop him from getting wed.

Events lead Kim to confronting Harriet, and there's violence as Harriet snaps and grabs her by the throat.

The ceremony does appear to go ahead though, and soon the party is in full swing - only for the guests to be told that pregnant teen Amelia Spencer is missing.

Both Harriet and Kim set off separately to find her, so will they cross paths and will it lead to fresh drama?

Pregnant Amelia meanwhile is heading off for a picnic in the wind, only to be knocked over and her contractions begin.

After her phone dies mid-call to her panicked dad, Amelia hides out in barn as she goes into labour.

Meanwhile, Al Chapman declares he is leaving after Chas Dingle ends their affair, and Nicola King and Charles Anderson are forced to put their feud aside.

Also, Sam Dingle rows with his son Samson over his behaviour towards Amelia - with him still refusing to be a part of their baby's life.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
