Emmerdale fans have been pleading 'not Sam' after the Dingle favourite was seen impaled on a piece of farming machinery. The ITV soap's 50th anniversary windstorm stunt claimed its first vicitm on Monday night (October 17) when viewers discovered Harriet Finch had died in a freak accident.
But by the end of the half-an-hour-long episode, fans were left fearing for another much-loved character as in Sam's haste to get away from a cow stampede, he divided over some hay bales and was caught trapped on a piece of farm machinery, with a spike going straight through his shoulder.
As the episode ended it didn't look good for Sam with half-sister Belle Dingle and Nate Robinson, who had already been crushed by the charging farm animals who had been spooked by the raging storm, looking on horrified.
