Emmerdale viewers' latest fan theory predicts a blackmail twist as Billy ran over Alex and left him for dead in a shocking scene.

During tonight’s episode of the ITV hit soap Dawn and Billy were trying to gain legal custody of Dawn’s children, which she shares with ex boyfriend Alex.

Alex finally confessed everything after Charles managed to track him down. The vicar was heartbroken to hear his daughter had been used.

Alex managed to escape from Charles and could be seen on the phone to his partner-in-crime Clare. Once he hung up.

He then stepped out into the road and was hit by a passing car. Viewers could see a figure walking towards Alex's lifeless body, before turning and running away.

It was revealed that Billy was the driver. He was forced to tell Dawn and insisted that he wanted to turn himself in, but Dawn stopped him from doing so.

Viewers are now convinced that Alex will make a full recovery and blackmail Billy and Dawn. @TwellyWatcher Tweeted: “Alex will most likely be dead I’m thinking #Emmerdale.”

@DonnatellaSpace commented: “Alex will be counting their blackmail notes if he's survived that hit. #Emmerdale.”

@leahallen77 predicted: “Betcha Alex will say it was Charles or will blackmail Billy & Dawn again #Emmerdale.”

@Dbella91 wrote: “So Alex will make full recovery, blackmail Billy to return the drugs that’s it the storyline here #Emmerdale.”

@Missmamma79 said: “I watched the crash twice and both times it made me jump out of my skin…. It’s like something out of Final Destination #Emmerdale.”

@mr_sjpatterson wrote: “These Alex flashforward scenes are very Walking Dead. #Emmerdale.”

While @LunaLocoJewels added: “Was that meant to be surprising? it was obvious that dawn and/or billy was going to screw up immediately once the hearing went so well, they were so happy and their lives were so perfect #Emmerdale.”
