ITV Emmerdale set for change as soap bosses confirm major shake-up

Emmerdale bosses have announced that the ITV soap is set for a major format shake-up.

The much loved soap will air a week of special episodes featuring flash forward scenes which will start next month from May 9.

Viewers will get to get a glimpse into what the future holds for some key characters as there is currently a lot of dramatic storylines unfolding.

A statement from the channel said the week will begin in menacing circumstances, reports Liverpool Echo. It said: "In the gloom we see a misty graveyard with an open grave.

Emmerdale's Noah Dingle (ITV)

"The slamming of an iron police cell door and the sound of a gunshot rings out in the woods before we see a crumpled car steaming in the gloom having just had a terrible accident… But whose bodies are in the wreck and what does it all mean?”

The show has released three ominous images to coincide with the release that features characters who will be heavily involved in the drama. One image includes Cain Dingle looking into a mirror, which could mean viewers will finally see the end of his war with long time adversary Al Chapman.

Another image features Noah Dingle looking at photos of Chloe Harris on his laptop. The character, played by Jack Downham, has developed an unhealthy obsession with Chloe and is currently using a drone to spy on her. The release hints that Noah's behaviour may be about to be exposed, which could be the catalyst that sparks a turbulent week of drama in the Yorkshire village.

The final image shows a concerned Gabby Thomas looking at a mysterious hooded figure. The character will be alone at Home Farm and is concerned Jamie Tate may be back from the ‘dead’ when things start going bump in the night.

This special week of episodes will air from Monday 9th May on ITV and ITV Hub at 7.30pm
