For the folk at Emmerdale, its 50th anniversary episode and huge stunt has been more than a year in the making and fans of the ITV soap have been teased for months about the dramatic storm that's set to rock the village and leave everyone's lives different to how they were before.
But finally, on Sunday night (October 16), which is the soap's official 50th birthday, viewers will finally get to see death and destruction hit the much-loved Yorkshire village and its residents. It was revealed back in August that a wind storm will hit and Kim Tate and Will Taylor's wedding will kickstart all the drama that's to come.
The episode opens with a shot of the Emmerdale village with Kim thoughtful as she rides her horse in the beautiful surroundings. We see Moira Barton looking out across her farmland whilst in the village Dawn and Lucas set a red kite off up over the houses. Up at Home Farm a brooding Will looks pensive ahead of his wedding day.
