Emmerdale's executive producer has promised fans a 'feel good' Christmas following the devastating storm this autumn. It's set to be a difficult time of year for many of the residents of the village following the loss of multiple people just a few months ago.
The ITV soap went big with its 50th anniversary celebrations in October with a wind storm causing irreversible damage to the lives of multiple families following the deaths of Harriet Finch and Liv Dingle. Former village vicar and police officer Harriet succumbed to her injuries after being flung down a ravine and crushed by the quad bike she was riding in the woods in search of pregnant Amelia Spencer who had gone into labour in the middle of nowhere.
Harriet was able to be dragged from the quad bike by Kim Tate but as viewers started to see petrol spilling from the vehicle, it was struck by a lightning bolt and caused and explosion that caught Harriet and Kim in its wake. Meanwhile, Liv was struck by a caravan in the adverse weather and couldn't be saved due to her severe injuries, leading to a heartbreaking goodbye with her husband Vinny and brother Aaron.
