Emmerdale fans 'work out who dies' after terrifying cow stampede following storm

Emmerdale fans don't miss a trick and it appears they've quickly figured out who may have died after the cow stampede.

As part of the 50th anniversary of the popular ITV soap, bosses promised heartache, death and cliffhangers and they've certainly delivered.

In true form, the village was hit by a devastating storm causing mass disruption and even affecting local businesses including Moira's farm.

Following the impact, the barn housing her cows was weakened which eventually led to it collapsing in the wind with the four-legged animals heading out into the countryside.

However, the gale-force winds caused them to panic which saw them stampede into the picturesque village, leaving Sam and Nate running for their lives.

In a bid to escape, Sam jumped over several hay bales before becoming impaled on a tractor, leaving many to think he has died.

At the end of the episode, his younger sister Belle Dingle was seen looking on in horror as she spotted her brother.

Now, viewers have flocked to social media as they all said the same thing about who may become the latest victim of the storm.

One fan said: "Not our Sam #ememrdale what are you playing at?"

While a second added: "Oh my God, I'm no doctor but I'd say sam's a goner # Emmerdale."

"They can't kill Sam off! #Emmerdale," commented a third.

Before a fourth viewer went on to tweet: "You can't kill off Sam! What the hell #Emmerdale."

Previously, show designer Duncan Howell confirmed that the cows would charge at villagers, leaving them in grave danger, saying: "This was one of the big elements of the week, a cow stampede has not been done on a soap to this extent, we began with conversations and lots of planning with the farmer.

"It was really important that this did not cause any harm or stress to these animals. The cattle we used all actually live on the farm. For the filming element, we created a new cattle pen near a run which was a fence running down to one of their fields. So when they came out of the pen they gathered to go down the run to their field. They know they get fed both in the pen but also in the field."

Duncan explained that the cow's food was on a deed hopper so they saw their food go and instantly followed suit.
