Emmerdale viewers hope storm 'wipes out' Chas and Al as they spot rare character callback

Emmerdale fans are pinning their 50th anniversary celebration hopes on the demise of one pair in particular following the ongoing Chas and Al love affair.

Tonight's episode ended with fans hoping they could see the back of the adultery with Chas and Al, but that was far from the case, as tonight's episode ended with the affair stronger than ever.

In a spooky moment of foreshadowing, Al told Chas that the pair of them had the "rest of our lives" to be together, after Chas told him that she was in love with him. She said: "I can't give you up, Al. I've been pretending that I can but I can't."

Al told Chas that he had thought she was meeting him to end the relationship, to which she replied: "Well, that would have been the more sensible option". She then revealed that she had "about eight minutes left", before she had to leave.

And Al said: "That and the rest of our lives", as it cut away to them kissing in the car with a tree blowing ominously in the background. With news of a disastrous storm about to hit the village at any moment, could this be an eerie prediction about the fate of Al and Chas?

Emmerdale producers are planning a huge hurricane style storm for the soap's 50th anniversary and now fans are trying to work out who could be blown away for good.

Well some viewers are hoping that they hope the storm "wipes out" the cheating pair. @perfectmanda said: "At this point I wouldn't mind if the wind blew chas away I hate her character they've ruined her might aswell kill her off".

@retro89 said: "I hope the storm wipes Al and Chas out". @ifeelflames said: "Oh ewwww. Can the storm can take the pair of them pls? If just Al dies I can’t bear to watch Chas pine over him". And @JKL_nini_30 said: "I really despise Chas. Please please please die with that snake Al next week in the storm".

Meanwhile, tonight's episode also saw an old character mentioned, which has stirred up some memories for fans. Aaron was talking fondly of his late boyfriend, Jackson Walsh.

Jackson, played by Mark Silcock, joined the Emmerdale cast in 2010 and met Aaron at a gay bar shortly after his arrival. The pair had a rocky relationship, the end of which played a big part in Jackson's death - he took his own life (with Aaron's help) after being paralysed in a car accident.

Fans were overjoyed to hear Aaron mention his late boyfriend in tonight's episode, as they recalled how "good" the stories were in Emmerdale 10 years ago. @miss_kattz said: "A Jackson mention? [crying emoji] How I cried over a character I wasn‘t even fond of, played by an actor I didn‘t really care about…. The SL was hard to watch though. Danny killed it. Reminds me of how good the stories were 10 years ago."

@parkiewolf said: "Aaron talking about him and Jackson with Faith…… Omg I’m crying, I remember them & those heartbreaking eps like it was only yesterday".
