The lives of Emmerdale's much-loved residents may be at risk but fans of the ITV soap spent the anniversary episode worried about one character - and one character only. Emmerdale's 50th anniversary celebrations got off to a wind-fuelled start as the storm looming over the Yorkshire Dales started to cause havoc.
An hour-long special episode on Sunday night (October 16) kicked off a week's worth of drama to mark the soap's five decades on air as a windstorm is set to batter the village and forever change the lives of those who live there. The episode started with Kim and Will's wedding but there was almost a hitch when the bride confronted her man's ex, Harriet, after she declared her love for Will.
But while the wedding did go ahead, pregnant teen Amelia was up on the moors alone after planning on having a romantic picnic with boyfriend Noah. And, after the wind knocked her off her feet and she fell to the ground, the character went into labour. She managed to just get through to her dad to tell him she was having the baby but she lost the signal on her phone.
