Emmerdale viewers are set to see a mystery hit and run storyline as Alex is left for dead after being knocked over on a busy road.
The shocking incident takes place next week after Alex's hidden agenda is finally exposed. Emmerdale has previously revealed that Alex's new relationship with Naomi Walters is all a sham. His true interest lies in getting access to the local doctors surgery, where Manpreet works.
In next week's episodes, Billy and Dawn Fletcher attend a court case which will determine whether they get full custody and adoption of Lucas and Clemmie.

Naomi encourages Alex to join them in court and fight for his right to have access to his children. Later on Alex returns to the village and Charles is left horrified to find the drugs in the bad boy's car.
Alex is forced to come clean about how he has been playing Naomi and her family over the past few weeks. Alex confesses that he never had any genuine romantic interest in her.
As the confrontation between the two men turns physical, damage is caused to Charles' car. Charles tries to call the police, but Alex spitefully smashes his phone and hurries off with the drugs.
Later, the village vicar tries to warn Naomi about Alex's deceit. But he was left frustrated by Naomi's response, so he grabs his keys and heads out for a drive.
Shortly afterwards, Alex ponders his next move while on the side of a road. When he steps into the road, he's hit by a passing car.
A mysterious figure walks towards Alex, who's lifeless on the ground, but the unknown person quickly turns back and runs away.
