Emmerdale fans think they know who will become the new owner of the famous village pub on the ITV soap, as The Woolpack goes up for auction.
The pub was ruined in a horrifying Christmas Day explosion, and as the insurance failed to pay out for the damage and the deal with Al fell through, Chas and Marlon Dingle have been left with no other choice but to turn to auction to raise the money.
The pair had been hoping to sell the pub to Al but investor Gavin pulled out, leaving him with not enough capital to purchase it.
It means that The Woolpack will end up with a brand new owner - but who will it be?
Fans think they might have cracked the case, with a few different suggestions floating around the rumour mill.
But one unexpected name would be quite the twist, while it also seems unlikely.
Liv Flaherty is tipped to buy the pub to help out Chas, with her having a lot of money from her late father.
While most of her money is tied up in the house she owns, some fans have speculated she might give Chas the money to buy the pub.
Liv is an alcoholic, so it seems unlikely she would want to be involved with the pub at this moment in time, given her recent and constant battle to remain sober - while her and Chas are also not on the best of terms.
That said, could she consider giving Chas the money she desperately needs to keep the pub and her livelihood?
Some viewers certainly think so, with one comment online reading: "Liv will give them the money! She will be free soon, and does not need that huge house to herself, she has money in the bank."
Another fan tweeted: "Hope Liv gets out of prison buys the Woolpack."
In scenes airing next week, Kim Tate appears to take an interest in buying The Woolpack, as she's seen flicking through the auction catalogue as she looks for possible new business ventures.
Kim's boyfriend Will Taylor soon works out that Kim is intending to put a bid in to buy the Woolpack, something which Charity overhears as she fears how she can tell Chas the bad news.
On finding out, Chas is left reeling as Cain vows to sort it out when she admits losing the pub will leave her completely heartbroken.
As auction day comes, Chas considers not going as she doesn't want to see Kim snatch the pub, leaving Paddy devastated for his wife as she struggles with the news. However, Charity manages to convince her to go by hitting a nerve and Paddy is thrilled to see his other half determined not to go down without a fight.
A tense auction gets underway and just as the auctioneer is ready to sell the Woolpack to the highest bidder, Cain decides to put in a bid, but a mystery online person outbids him - leaving his wife Moira Barton very relieved.
After the auction, Marlon and Chas are left wondering who the new owner might be, as Faith tries to find out and get the name from the auctioneer. She fails to get the name but she is told the new owner wants to meet Marlon and Chas in person.
Chas is feeling fearful as she prepares for the meeting - but who is the mystery online bidder and now the owner of The Woolpack?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
