View Full Version : 'Emmerdale' announces shock arson plot
Lives will be lost in Emmerdale in the New Year when a massive fire causes terror and tragedy, it has been announced.
The shock new storyline will see a blaze rip through a row of cottages in the heart of the village in some of the soap's most spectacular scenes ever.
Show bosses have confirmed that at least two characters will perish in the inferno, although the identities of the casualties will be kept closely under wraps until transmission.
Betty Eagleton (Paula Tilbrook), Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) and Gennie Walker (Sian Reese-Williams) are just three of the villagers who have been named as possible victims of the flames.
Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop) and Terry Woods (Billy Hartman) will also be in danger when the fire spreads to their home, while Viv Hope (Deena Payne) is another show favourite whose life may be left on the line.
In a further twist, the aftermath of the blaze will see the distressing discovery that the fire was no accident. As the survivors mourn the dead, they must deal with the disturbing realisation that an arsonist has struck and could be among them.
Speaking of the storyline, Emmerdale's series producer Gavin Blyth commented: "This is going to be one of the most dramatic and tragic events ever to rock Emmerdale and no-one will be untouched by the fire's devastating consequences.
"The whole village will be thrown together for these gripping and heart-wrenching episodes which will launch us into an unmissable 2011."
Emmerdale's arson plot will air in the middle of January.
TWO Emmerdale favourites are set to die in an arson attack.
An inferno will hit the village, leaving at least two other characters with devastating injuries.
Viv Hope, the soap's longest-serving female character, looks certain to perish.

Hollyoaks did a similar storyline just recently
I think Viv and Gennie will die
I hope Jackson isn't a contender??? His contract ends around that time!!!
He has signed another contract until the end of 2011 :)
Gennie, Eve, Andy, Katie, Rhona, Holly, Brenda, Jai, Nikhill, Leyla I could go on there is loads of crap characters they could clear out at once
there are loads that they could get rid of for my liking!
I think its definltly viv cause that would tie in with kellys return and the fact that she is defintly leaving.

That's good news! :)
A HUGE fire is set to kill at least two of Emmerdale's best-loved characters.
Victoria Cottage is the target of a mystery arsonist - but the inferno soon spreads through neighbouring properties with devastating results.
Things look particularly bleak for poor Betty Eagleton who gets trapped in Keepers Cottage - while Brenda Walker and Terry Woods find themselves in trouble as their home goes up in flames.
And then there is Viv Hope, who is humiliated and busy drowning her sorrows at her flat after being rejected by her ex Terry. Katie Sugden, Gennie Walker and Chas Dingle are also in peril.
An Emmerdale source said last night: "The number of residents caught up in this disaster is shocking, and it will be nail-biting to see who can fight their way to safety.
"Then there is the revelation that this tragedy was caused by someone within the community. Plenty of people have motives - but can the investigation root out the true culprit?"

Maybe it's the copper who is chasing Katie. Then tries to put the blame on Andy as he would have access to Andy's police records and could easily frame him.

EMMERDALE fans are blazing mad after the show's chiefs spoiled their OWN death fire mystery.
Two of the soap's favourites are due to perish this Thursday after an arson attack.
Bosses had teasingly hinted that up to seven of the characters were at risk, sparking a Corrie tram-crash style cliffhanger.
But they then blew their own secret by announcing who dies to TV listings mags.
TV Biz is not revealing the names so as not to spoil the suspense further. But the plot summary for the day after the tragedy in one listings mag reads: "The village pays tribute to ***** and *****."
And fans complained that after reading the Radio Times online listings it was obvious who died - because two characters were no longer in the cast list. One fan said: "It seems daft to create all that build-up and then give away what happens."
Viv, played by Deena Payne, was known to be leaving the show after her character was axed and was tipped to be one of the fatalities.
But the second death was supposed to be a mystery, with Emmerdale releasing a picture of all those in the frame.
Possible victims included Betty Eagleton (Paula Tilbrook), Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) and Gennie Walker (Sian Reese-Williams). The others were Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop), Terry Woods (Billy Hartman) and Katie Sugden (Sammy Winward), whose angry ex Andy has a history of arson.

It was oh so obvious
Billy Hartman has confirmed that he will look back fondly on his long stint playing Terry Woods in Emmerdale.
Earlier tonight, Terry met a tragic end as he became a casualty of the soap's shock fire storyline, which saw a blaze spread through a row of cottages at the heart of the village.
Terry lost his life while trying to save Viv Hope (Deena Payne) as the flames consumed her flat - but she also lost her life in the disaster.
Reflecting on his time at Emmerdale, Hartman commented: "I don't know where to start - Emmerdale has been such a big part of my life over the years, that I can't sum it up in a few words.
"It's been wonderful and I will miss the show but I'm really looking forward to the future."
Hartman has been part of the Emmerdale cast since 1995, putting him among the soap's longest-serving stars.

It's a shame that Terry went but he hasn't had a decent storyline for ages not since his time with Louise so I suppose it was time for him to go.

So Viv's funeral is "down south" :(
Do you think Louise and maybe britt (Terry's ex wife) should come for his funeral?
I doubt Louise will come, she is busy in Australia and as Terry was divorced from Britt and widowed with Dawn dying, I think TJ is the only blood relative that will attend his funeral. Think it is disgusting that they did not afford Viv a funeral in Emmerdale, they killed t he character off, lets put her to rest where she has been living for such a long time

I agree with you. Its terrible the way ITV have treated Deena Payne. What a cop out by ''having the funeral down South'' because its what bKelly and Scott wanted. Viv was still married to Bob so ultimately the decision was his to make. Besides Viv has been in Emmerdale a long time and her first?? husband is buried there
SHAME ON ITV

well said
Emmerdale star Sammy Winward has discussed the latest drama in store for her character Katie Sugden, who will soon discover the truth about corrupt detective Nick Henshall.
In recent weeks, fans have seen Katie continue to date Henshall (Michael McKell), unaware that he was responsible for the blaze which claimed the lives of Terry and Viv.
However, speaking to All About Soap, Winward confirmed that Katie finally sees Henshall's true colours after agreeing to go away for a short holiday with him.
The actress explained: "She thinks leaving the village for a few days will do them both good - especially if it means being away from Andy. But then she stops off at his house on her way home and is stunned to find press clippings about Henshall's first wife, who died in an arson attack."
She continued: "The pieces all start to fall into place for her and she finally realises that Henshall was behind the fire. She still doesn't quite know how he fits into the bigger picture but she knows there's something he's been hiding.
"Anything could happen - Katie is terrified at this point. She knows that Henshall isn't the trustworthy man she thought he was and so he is bound to be very angry if he knew what she'd discovered. Things are about to get very exciting - watch this space."
Earlier this week, Winward revealed that she had recently filmed her "most intense" Emmerdale scenes to date.

As before I know its soap , but when Brenda drives the car at Andy in the caravan that's attempted murder. So its Andy that has to be asked if he wants to press charges, what the hell has it got to do with John and Moira, we don't want to press charges ! what ! its nothing to do with them.

Yes I agree it was up to Andy and he should have called the cops as Henshall was off duty
I kinda hoped Henshall would have killed Katie
... it was Attempted Murder, Drink Driving ( she didnt even get breathalysed), driving without due care and attention -- and I bet, she drove home..Emmerdale sometimes loses the plot
