Emmerdale viewers have predicted chaos in the village following the return of rapist Pierce Harris.
He made quite the comeback, confirmed as the killer of Graham Foster in Thursday's episode.
Actor Jonathan Wrather reprised his role two years on from his exit, with his character sent to prison for raping wife Rhona Goskirk.
He's now murdered her new flame Graham, amid their plans to flee to France for a new life.
His motives are not yet clear, with all set to be confirmed on Friday it seems.
But fans are now gravely concerned for Rhona, who has been fearing his return for weeks.
She was told that he was up for parole in December and could be handed an early release.
Nothing more was said on the situation, and Rhona and Graham pushed forward with plans to leave.
But with Pierce now having murdered Graham and Rhona remaining in the village, fans fear she is in danger.
They also suspected a number of other characters could face being killed now he's back.
Viewers are questioning whether he may be back for revenge, and could kill again after taking out Graham.
One fan said: "I think Pierce killed Graham and will come after Rhona."
Another agreed: "As he got sent to prison for the rape of Rhona, I think he’ll frame her for the murder as revenge."
Another said: "Rhona better watch out if he's back."
Meanwhile, a fourth fan predicted: "Pierce will want revenge on: Rhona, Marlon, Vanessa and Paddy."
The cast were not told about the return or the death twist, with scripts including a code name.
Viewers will have to stay tuned to find out what exactly happened.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
