Emmerdale fans convinced surprise character return confirms crash death victim's identity

Some Emmerdale fans believe an eerie and sad foreshadowing may have taken place during Monday night's episode of the ITV soap.

One character will be killed off at the end of the week, as the show airs its big wedding and stunt episodes.

Little is known about the characters caught up in the stunt and the surrounding plot lines, in terms of their fates and what exactly happens.

But Monday's flashforward scenes confirmed there had been an accident with multiple casualties, and that emergency help was needed.

It sounded like Jimmy King on the phone, but viewers will have to stay tuned all week to find out more clues.

Jimmy will crash a van at high speed into some farming buildings, while Liv Flaherty and Vinny Dingle both face danger from his evil dad Paul Ashdale as they're both attacked.

Monday's episode aired the surprise return of Rodney Blackstock, Jimmy's father-in-law, and viewers were happy to see him.

But some feared his unannounced comeback could be significant, and might even be a foreshadowing of the death to come.

Many believed that for him to just return out of the blue during the stunt week of all weeks, there had to be a reason.

Taking to Twitter, several viewers began to question if this was a huge clue that the fatality could be his daughter and Jimmy's wife Nicola King.

Some even guessed Jimmy might be the one to die, predicting Rodney's return meant something.

One fan wrote: "I wonder if there is any significance to Rodney suddenly returning?"

Another said: "Rodney back makes me think Nicola dies."

A third added: "Is Rodney back just in time for Nicola to die? I hope not."

This was questioned by another viewer who responded: "Nicola did say on Friday about Juliette getting Karl 'over my dead body' hope they don't kill her."

A fifth fan tweeted: "Rodney hasn't appeared in #Emmerdale for the better part of a year so having Jimmy die could certainly explain why he is back."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
