Emmerdale has kicked off 2024 with some big changes to the village ? from the arrival of Ruby Fox-Miligan and Ella Forster, to the tragic death of Heath Hope.

So, what's next? Well, recent press announcements and producer interviews have already provided various spoilers and tidbits teasing what to expect across the next few months.

As you'd expect, many of these storylines have already been announced right here on Digital Spy, but just in case you're losing track, here's a handy recap with the key details all in one place.

What is Ella hiding?


Emmerdale bosses recently introduced Ella Forster, played by former Coronation Street star Paula Lane.

The compassionate and caring character found herself out of a job when she stood up for Mandy Dingle at a veterinary ball.

Fortunately, a chance encounter with Manpreet Sharma opened up a new opportunity for Ella and this saw her become a permanent fixture in the village as she started work at the doctors surgery.

Ella has also caught the eye of local doctor Liam Cavanagh and their connection will be further explored in the coming weeks.

While Ella hasn't shown any signs of a dark secret or hidden agenda so far, the initial press release for her arrival suggested that this could ultimately become the case.

Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks said last year: "Ella is a complex and multi-layered character who comes to the village and certainly makes an impact. Ostensibly she's a good, moral character, but is there more to her than meets the eye?

"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome an actor of Paula's calibre to the show and we can't wait to have her light up our screens."

Long-term consequences for the King family


Emmerdale teenager Angelica King is sentenced to eight months at a Secure Children's Home next month as a punishment for her role in Heath's death.

Although this is on the shorter end of potential sentences, Angelica's loved ones struggle as she's sent away to Bristol, which limits their opportunities to visit her.

Nicola Wheeler, who plays Angelica's mum Nicola King, recently spoke about how Angelica's sentencing will affect the family in the longer-term.

She said: "At first it feels like a lifetime. But as the story goes on, [Nicola and Jimmy] realise that they're being ridiculous because it is only eight months. But when you're not there for your daughter, and you can't go and visit every day, it's hell on earth isn't it?

"I don't think they'll cope well, but they do have Carl and Elliot to consider ? they do have two other children. Initially Nicola starts to lash out because she can't cope but Jimmy gives her a stern talking-to and says: 'This is what it is. We have to deal with it'.

"It's also a relief when Bob holds out an olive branch ? and that sense of relief sets them on a different path."

On the inevitable drama when Angelica is released in a few months' time, Nicola added: "Looking to the future, I would just say: 'What is to come?' Because what is Angel going to be like when she leaves the place? That is the big question, isn't it? For eight months of her life, Nicola and Jimmy don't have any control or influence over her at all.

"I think that's quite crushing for any parent who has been in this situation. It's the fact that they are literally handing their child over."

Rhona's story continues


Rhona faces more drama as 2024 continues, as she's determined to keep up the fight for baby Ivy.

The village vet recently discovered that her ex-husband Gus was trying to trick her when he proposed a deal to get them both out of trouble with the police. He planned to do a runner with Ivy once Rhona had followed his wishes.

Zoe Henry, who plays Rhona, recently admitted that she still hasn't been told exactly how this story will pan out in the long-term.

Appearing on ITV's This Morning, she said: "I actually don't know. We know a little in advance, but not too much."

Amit targets Eric


Eric Pollard becomes embroiled in Amit Sharma's sinister storyline this spring, as the new villain lines him up as a new target.

Amit becomes intrigued by Eric when he learns that the former B&B boss is one of the richest residents of the village.

He approaches Eric with a deal that seems too good to be true ? will Eric be fooled?

Aaron, Cain and Caleb receive their test results


Aaron Dingle, Cain Dingle and Caleb Miligan are due to receive some significant test results in the coming weeks.

All three characters have agreed to undergo gene testing to see if they have the faulty BRCA2 gene, which can be passed down among family members. Chas recently discovered that her breast cancer was caused by the faulty gene and she encouraged her son Aaron and brothers Cain and Caleb to get tested.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are examples of genes which can raise a person's cancer risk if they become altered, increasing the chance of developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer.

The Aaron, Cain and Caleb scenes form just one part of Chas' ongoing storyline, which will continue in the coming months.

Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks recently explained: "When this story was first pitched, we were acutely aware how important it was to explore this. With Chas's family history of breast cancer and Chas being such a strong character, and in many ways the bedrock of the Dingles, we wanted to show the impact on not just her, but her immediate family.

"With Lucy Pargeter's innate ability to showcase Chas's vulnerabilities beneath her hardened exterior, we knew she was absolutely the right character to play this with."

Tom's abuse of Belle gets worse


Emmerdale recently announced the long-term plan for Tom and Belle King's domestic abuse storyline following recent concerning scenes involving the newlyweds.

In upcoming scenes, the plot continues to explore coercive control, physical abuse and mental abuse.

Emmerdale is also planning to explore the growing issue of tech abuse, where controlling partners use trackers and hidden cameras as part of their sinister methods.

Show producer Laura Shaw recently said: "Soaps are in the extraordinary position of being able to highlight what happens behind the public face of an abusive relationship, over a longer period of time.

"The audience knows these characters so well, sometimes as well as they might know their own friends and family and they care deeply about them. As harrowing as it can be to watch this type of storyline play out, it's imperative that we use our platform to shine a light on domestic abuse, and help give a voice to people who have so often been silenced."

Eden Taylor-Draper, who plays Belle, also told TV Times: "Tom always has a reason for his behaviour. He'll do something horrific and instantly turn it on her. So then Belle's like, 'I'm so sorry, it's my fault.' She feels like she is a burden to him, and she has long suffered with mental health issues, so that is a way he can make her feel extra vulnerable."

"The charities we've worked with have said that tech control is massively on the rise."

Matty and Amy's wedding


Matty Barton and Amy Wyatt's wedding is now booked in for April 17, as revealed by the couple in a recent episode.

With Amy's mum Kerry back in the village and causing chaos, will there be trouble ahead of the big day?

Emmerdale has confirmed that another major accident will rock the village.

The life of one resident will hang in the balance this spring, marking the beginning of a big storyline for two families.

Show producer Laura Shaw (pictured below) announced the news to Digital Spy and other media at an Emmerdale press event this week, although the identities of those involved are being kept secret for now.

Shaw explained: "We're going to see an accident happen that's going to affect two big family groups.

"It's going to connect those two family groups together, and we're going to see somebody in very serious medical jeopardy."

She continued: "Whether they live or die, we will have to see.

"What I can tell you is that the ripples and repercussions from that accident will be very long-lasting and life-changing for a number of our villagers."

Emmerdale has already aired one tragic accident this year, as Heath Hope was killed off in a dramatic New Year car crash plot.

That storyline saw the Hope and King families take centre stage following the eventual revelation that Nicola and Jimmy's daughter Angelica was driving at the time of the crash.

Angelica recently took a break from screens, as she was sentenced to eight months in a Secure Children's Home.

With the new accident plot likely to focus on different families, Emmerdale fans will have to stay tuned for more details on who's involved and who will be in danger.

Emmerdale's new producer Sophie Roper has announced plans for some dramatic stunts later this year.

The ITV soap will be upping the ante with an action-packed week of episodes, which is already being filmed by cast and crew.

Roper shared the news at her first Emmerdale press conference since being appointed to the role of producer.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media, Roper explained: "We've got a lot of stunts coming up ? some we're actually filming this week.

"I'm not going to tell you too much, I'd get in trouble with the press team at my first press conference! But what I can tell you is there will be fire engines involved, so take from that what you will."

She added: "It's going to be a really explosive week of Emmerdale."

No further details have been revealed at this stage, although the scenes seem likely to feature Cain Dingle.

Zoe Henry, who plays Rhona Goskirk, recently told The Sun that her real-life husband Jeff Hordley has got "a massive stunt in two weeks involving fire and I think someone will get quite badly injured in that".

The show traditionally films scenes six to eight weeks in advance, which means the stunt scenes are likely to hit our screens in late August or early September.

So far, 2024 has been a quieter year for stunts on Emmerdale as many of the show's most dramatic events have taken place off-camera.

The New Year car crash which killed Heath Hope didn't take place on screen in January, with the show focusing on the emotional aftermath rather than the stunt itself.

A similar approach was taken with Nicky Miligan and Ethan Anderson's car crash in May, as well as Ruby Fox-Miligan vengefully knocking over Ethan in the soap's recent 10,000th episode.

Roper is co-producer of Emmerdale alongside Laura Shaw. She was promoted last month after Kate Brooks moved over to lead fellow ITV soap Coronation Street.

Speaking yesterday, Roper commented: "I've been at Emmerdale for eight years now. I'm a former story producer here, so I've lived and breathed the show for a fair old while now.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for me to produce and see that vision from the very start of [story] ideas, all the way through to what makes it to screen as well.

"We've got some brilliant storylines hitting at the moment. There's lots of drama in the Dales that you're watching on screen, which we're continuing to see as we go through the summer into the New Year ? very much keeping Emmerdale on top form."

Emmerdale has confirmed the details of Ella Forster's upcoming return, with Ella due to be caught up in a dramatic car crash as she arrives back in the village.
In new scenes to air on the soap, Manpreet Sharma urges a downbeat Liam to give things with his ex Chas Dingle another go, after he shares his fears that he'll be single forever.

The next day, Liam doesn't realise that a mysterious person is watching him...

Later, Mandy Dingle discovers an intruder and quickly realises that it's Ella. Clearly in distress, Ella explains that she's just come back to collect the rest of her belongings. As Ella heads off, Mandy is left unsure of what to do.

Well, Amy must be the dumbest tool in the shed. Just saying.

[ccahill2]

Well, that wasn't a surprise for me. I had that feeling. Good show.

I cannot even remember. What was the plot that Ruby and Rose have going? It shows how much I cared!

At least two Emmerdale favourites will be left fighting for their life in a dramatic barn fire this autumn.
Emmerdale are lining up a huge stunt for autumn and have revealed that feuding sisters-in-law Moira Dingle and Ruby Fox Milligan will be left fighting for their lives.
New producer Sophie Roper recently teased the big stunt and promised it would be explosive. ?As much as we?ve got the hard-hitting story there, we?ve got a lot of stunts coming up.?
?So we?re actually filming this week. I?m not going to tell you too much, but what i can tell you is there will be fire engines involved.?
?So take from that what you will. And it?s going to be a really explosive week of Emmerdale.?
Now filming pictures have revealed the dramatic fire as a host of other characters fight to save the women.
It is the first look at former Coronation Street star Oliver Farnworth joining the soap as the mysterious John Sugden.
An onlooker said: ?It looks very dramatic. You could see Oliver?s character, John rush into the fire and emerge from the smoke carrying a limp body.
?The soap is pushing the boat out with the big scenes but it looks like at least two huge characters are facing death. Moira and Ruby?s feud has taken a back seat to other huge drama these last few months but it looks like it could all ramp up again and potentially be devastating for both women and their families.?
?And with Emmerdale there?s always a twist so even more could be in true peril. There?s a real danger and any one of them could be about to meet their maker.?
Fire engines were on set for the huge stunt.
Cain Dingle actor Jeff Hordley, Chas Dingle star, Lucy Pargeter, Will Taylor actor, Dean Andrews and Caleb Milligan star William Ash were all pictured alongside Oliver filming the dramatic scenes.

Thanks, @Perdita, this sounds really exciting, with two of my favorite characters. I sometimes wonder whether Ruby gets away with as much as she does because of her incredible beauty, and if that is marred in any way, if she is badly burned and scarred, will they see her differently and will she see herself differently, making her rethink some of what she does?
