I didn't know whether to post this here or in The Rumour Mill :hmm: so feel free to move it if you want...
Details of upcoming Emmerdale storylines have been found by two fans in a Leeds pub.
Stuart Riddell and Chris Harpin discovered that secret plotlines for 29 episodes of the soap had been left underneath a newspaper on a chair in the bar.
The documents revealed plans to film a 5-day Mediterranean special where the Dingles go to Spain, containing flight and accommodation details for stars including Hayley Tamaddon (Delilah) and Charley Webb (Debbie).
Future plots exposed to the pair include a gay kiss, a prison sentence, and a character being diagnosed with cancer.
"I'm a fan, and realised I was reading the plot of episodes I'd never seen," Stuart told the Daily Star. "I asked around if anyone knew who'd left them there, but no one had a clue."
Chris added, "If I was a TV star I wouldn't want to be getting on a plane knowing wacko fans could have bought up all the other seats."
The scripts have now been safely returned to producers.
"We are investigating and steps will be taken to ensure the cast and crew are protected," a spokesperson insisted.
The error comes just nine months after a Leeds student received plotlines from the show in the post.
I wonder if they'll still be going ahead with these storylines, but they can't really cancel 29 episodes worth that's a lot of rewriting to do! It seems strange though, that they were just left there - if you had all that info on you wouldn't you be really careful to keep hold of it? lol maybe its a publicity stunt :searchme:
