Not many festive frolics in the Dales (Picture: Metro/ITV)
It looks like many Emmerdale characters are going to have a bleak time this Christmas – but talk about drama!
The ongoing Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) storyline is about to reach a head, with dramatic and potentially life-changing consequences for all.
On top of that, Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) remains trapped in her cruel world, but there may be a chance to finally break free of the ordeal – unless it’s too late…
Kim Tate (Claire King) will be at the centre of the action where she belongs and someone is set to make a mistake that could cost them – and others – everything.
And what about Charity Dingle’s (Emma Atkins) bubbling secret? How long can she keep her guilt under wraps?
Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect.
April’s nightmare unfolds – but Celia closes in…
