Emmerdale reveals soap crossover storyline details after harrowing death

Emmerdale has shared new details about the big soap crossover, as new scenes see the village referenced by other soaps months on from a harrowing death.

The ITV soap's link to the plot, with all of the shows taking part highlighting the issue of climate change, has now been revealed in new spoilers.

It's linked to Liam Cavanagh and other characters doing something in memory of his tragic daughter Leanna, who was murdered by Meena Jutla earlier this year.

While there may have been minor soap crossovers in the past, with characters crossing over and mentions of rival shows, there has never been a storyline that has seen all of the biggest soaps and more join together.
