Emmerdale producers have revealed a catastrophic windstorm will rip through the village during special 50th anniversary scenes due to air later this year.
Fans of the long-running Yorkshire based soap can expect a whole host of drama as the deadly storm with stunts "no other soap could pull off" leaves their favourite characters' lives in peril.
ITV bosses have now confirmed that most characters will be involved in the drama in some way with some set to suffer from serious injuries as the village changes forever.
