she never looked like she was in a crash disaster
I think she was in one scene last week. It was weird having her appear in the trailer when she only appeared tonight, even more so with multiple characters in the trailer who didn't appear at all (Priya, Rakesh, Kirin etc.)
I think they should have killed Alicia off. She is leaving and it will be just awful if she leaves David while he is trying to support his father and is also grieving himself.
as good as this week was the lack of deaths and serious injuries from misleading media reports annoyed me, also think debbie should have died
Yesterday was amazing, but I found the rest of the week a bit meh (Wednesday in particular.) It could have done with being over a week and a half or two weeks, to allow other characters to be involved.
I think it was at least two deaths light considering how hyped it was and also the fact that it was termed a cast clear out.
Was it seven or several to die?
Only two fatalities from the disaster of the helicopter crash
I loved the scenes of ghost Val and Eric
.
I haven't heard of this seven or several idea from anyone other than on this soap forum. At the moment, several to die is true.
The four deaths on-screen have been the helicopter pilot, Ruby, Ross and Val.
There may not be any more deaths but there are now consequential effects following the action at the village hall. It may take a long time for this storyline to come to its end though.
Debbie has smoke-inhalation injuries. Could these cause long-term health problems? (Charley Webb is due to leave soon for maternity leave anyway.)
Diane has head injuries. Could these turn out to be worse than presently thought?
Bob ends up in hospital this week after being badly beaten up in jail by a prison cell-mate who is a convicted murderer. How badly injured is he? Will he be imprisoned properly later if found guilty of bank fraud?
Alicia is going to leave for Portugal, possibly without David, and leave the soap this way.
Rachel is going to leave the soap soon. (Uncertain exit story for now.)
Could Chrissie and Robert find themselves jailed for their parts in the accident and the attempted cover-up by Robert?
My feeling is that Rodney, Joanie and Kyle have an unclear future in the soap at present.
There are also a number of other characters who are not very popular who could leave at some time (see this forum for suggestions for names of characters!). Matthew Wolfenden (David) said in a recent interview to the Daily Express that the present cast cuts are due to the need for financial savings to be made to the Emmerdale budget.

On April 19th 2015, the online TVBlog website, unrealitytv.co.uk, posted an article where it summarised The Sun's TV Biz magazine. In this, it mentions a "cast cull" and "several of the show's long-running characters will be killed off in the new plot".

There’s shocking news from the Emmerdale camp today as it’s been claimed that in a bid to boost ratings, the show’s bosses are planning a “cast cull” which will be facilitated by a major new storyline.
According to The Sun’s TV Biz, several of the show’s long-running characters will be killed off in the new plot – which will apparently attempt to emulate the success of the plane crash storyline that aired in 1993 drawing a viewing audience of around 18 million – and even members of the iconic Dingle family could die in the new drama.
A show source said, “Bosses are planning a clear-out of characters. No-one knows if theirs will be axed.
“Most of the actors are hoping that they’ll just be badly injured so they won’t have to find a new job at the end of it.”
There’s no hint as yet as to what the storyline will be, but we would imagine it would need to be something along the lines of a huge explosion or even another plane crash.
But with regard to who’ll die in the tragedy – whatever it turns out to be – and bookmakers are already taking bets on who will be written out…
At the time of writing, William Hill reckons that Robert Sugden, a role played by Ryan Hawley, is the evens favourite to be killed in the summer drama, while Marlon Dingle, played by Mark Charnock, is at 33/1 to die.
Similarly, Chas and Debbie Dingle – roles played by Lucy Pargeter and Charley Webb respectively – have odds of 4/1 and 8/1 to be victims of the cast cull.
The show insider added, “When you want a big ratings spike, killing off some big names is a way to go.”

It's both seven and several after all depending upon when and what you read.
On April 19th 2015, the online TVBlog website, unrealitytv.co.uk, posted an article where it summarised The Sun's TV Biz magazine. In this, it mentions a "cast cull" and "several of the show's long-running characters will be killed off in the new plot".
On July 14th 2015, the same online TVBlog website, unrealitytv.co.uk, posted an article where it summarised The Sun newspaper. In this, it mentions a "whopping SEVEN characters will die as a result!". (See text below)

As we have previously reported Emmerdale is about to take on a stunt to rival all others this summer, and now it has been reported that a whopping SEVEN characters will die as a result!
This stunt, so the Sun newspaper reports, takes place as show favourites Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) and Pete Barton get ready to tie the knot, when a huge explosion rips through the sleepy village of Emmerdale next month.
This stunt, which insiders claim will be bigger than the epic plane crash of 93 which tore through the dales killing several characters along the way, will see show favourites injured and dishevelled as they are pulled through the wreckage during what is being described as a breath-taking “Hollywood-esque” style stunts and special effects, which took over three weeks to film.
The publication quotes a “well-placed source” as revealing:
“The writers felt it was time for a shake-up, so that is exactly what we are doing. The village hall felt a bit tired and run-down, so what better way to bring it into the 21st century than to blow it up?
“It will see deaths and injuries as some of the show’s biggest characters are pulled out of the rubble covered in blood and mud.
“We are sure it will have every soap fan glued to their screens.”
Of course the powers that be are keeping very tight-lipped about just which characters will meet their maker during this ground breaking storyline, but we do already know that three actors have recently announced their decision to leave the show – Natalie Anderson who plays Alicia Metcalfe, Charlie Hardwick who plays Val Pollard and Gemma Oaten who plays Rachel Breckle.
In particular two of these characters could have had their fate hinted at in the recent promo trailer for the event with Alicia being one of the characters who walk through the woods towards the creepy fairground exit door, whilst Val’s husband, Eric (Chris Chittell) can be seen looking at it alone, with her sister, Diane (Elizabeth Estensen) looks on behind them…
Rachel does not appear in the trailer at all, but if we are right about her being one of the fatalities, might her young son, Archie, be one of them too – That would certainly send shockwaves through the nation….
Meanwhile, taking a closer look at the trailer which you can see for yourselves at the bottom of this article, we can also see a few hints at possible other fates…
For example Dan Spencer (Liam Fox) and Ruby Haswell (Alicia Eyo) can be seen together, with no sing of Ali (Kelli Hollis). Now we know that Ali is currently back and forth to Liverpool taking care of her son Sean, but maybe she is back for the wedding? Or maybe it is Ruby who is making her exit?
Also featured in the clip are Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) and her new husband Adam Barton (Adam Thomas) as well as Kirin Kotecha (Adam Fielding), his dad Rakesh (Pasha Bocarie) and partner Priya Sharma (Fiona Wade), but no sing of Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) whose pregnancy connects them all – Maybe the blast causes her death, or that of her unborn child’s?
Speaking of pregnancy, Charley Webb who plays bride to be Debbie is currently expecting her second child with co-star Matthew Wolfenden – Could her maternity leave be permanent?
Finally in the trailer are Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb), Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), his wife Chrissie (Louise Marwood) and his bit on the side, Aaron Livesy (Danny Miller) – Now all of these people are bound by twisted secrets of infidelity, so could the truth come out on one of their death beds?
We shall simply have to sit back and wait and see!
