Emmerdale's 50th anniversary will end in sinister fashion as a character faces life in prison.
The long-running soap will mark its milestone birthday with a month of celebrations in October. Show bosses have revealed the episodes will centre around a devastating storm which will forever transform the fictional village.
Producer Kate Brooks told the ECHO: "It will leave a massive trail of destruction in its wake and some of our best loved villagers will be in peril. It's safe to say that the village won't be the same ever again because the impact this storm will have is massive."
