Emmerdale 'give away' multiple death twist as major characters look ...

The latest episode of Emmerdale hinted at potential multiple fatalities this week. From a confirmed death to the discovery of a body and another character trapped under ice, it seems more than one character's exit is imminent.

The episode was rife with clues suggesting several departures from the ITV soap could occur this week. Several villagers were seen severely injured, their fates uncertain.

Speculation is now rife about the number of characters who will meet their end, and it appears some fan favourites are in danger.

Monday's episode saw the tragic death of Suzy Merton when a limousine crashed onto an icy lake. Other characters were injured, including Amy Wyatt, who fell into the freezing water and became trapped while attempting to escape.

Liam Cavanagh managed to get off the lake, but disaster struck as he helped his partner, Chas Dingle, to safety. He appeared confused and disoriented, with a bleeding head wound, before starting to vomit, reports the Mirror.

He then collapsed, leaving Chas to assist him. Will he be the next casualty in a shocking twist of fate? After all, he wasn't supposed to be in the limo; he took Mandy Dingle's seat.

Meanwhile, Leyla Harding, Liam's ex, is confirmed to be exiting the show. In one scene, she realised she was bleeding but chose not to share this information with anyone else.

Despite her injury, Leyla insisted that everyone else leave the limo before her, even though her son needed her. This led fans to speculate that she knew she might not survive and was trying to save the others.

Noah Dingle was also in a precarious situation, having staggered into the road causing the limo to swerve and crash. Found unresponsive by his mother Charity Dingle, could he be another casualty?

And what about Kerry Wyatt, who remained in the limo?

Other characters potentially in danger include Cain Dingle and Caleb Miligan. After discovering his brother's affair with his wife Ruby Miligan, Caleb attacked him.

Could this have resulted in serious injuries for Cain?

With recent scenes showing Caleb flatlining in hospital, could he also be caught up in the chaos and meet a tragic end?

Fans have been sharing their theories online. One speculated: "Suzy is dead, leyla will make it hospital and die after making up with Jacob, Nates under the ice." [sic]

Another suggested: "My thought is possibly Leyla and Liam," while a third questioned: "Are we getting rid of both Leyla and Kerry? " Other theories included: "So is that the deaths? Suzy, Kerry, Leyla? ? " and "It looked like they were setting another whodunnit with Cain," with one fan wondering: "The funeral Cain was at during the flash forwards isn't Liam, is it?" [sic]
