Emmerdale's Chas Dingle will be left feeling fearful 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?
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?
