EMMERDALE bosses will kill off one of the soap's most loved characters while two weddings will take place during the 40th anniversary live episode.
The top male star, who we have agreed not to name, will be bumped off in spectacular style next month.
Bosses at the ITV1 soap are pulling out all the stops to make sure their celebrations go with a bang. Executive producer Stuart Blackburn has already revealed that two births and two weddings will take place.
But news of a death will come as a major shock to fans.
Hate Stuart said: "In our spectacular live episode viewers will be taken on a whirlwind journey, encompassing every life experience from the two cradles to the grave with love, hate and betrayal along the way.
"We want to avoid speculation as to which character dies but suffice to say it will have major, far-reaching repercussions."
Speaking about the soap hunk who will meet his maker, Stuart added: "The soap gods always get their man and this one has it coming!"
As well as the death, fans will see Declan Macey (Jason Merrells, 43) marrying Katie Sugden (Sammy Winward, 26) while Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter, 35) weds Dan Spencer (Liam Fox, 42).
Meanwhile, Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb, 24) and Gennie Walker (Sian Reese-Williams, 31) both go into labour.
Bosses are planning an ambitious hour of live TV which will see the soap filmed on the outside set.
That means the cast and crew will be at the mercy of the Yorkshire weather and bosses admit there's no back-up plan.
Rain Stuart added: "There's no way we can, it would be impossible.
"If it rains then everyone is going to get soaked and poor Sammy and Lucy's wedding dresses will be sodden."
Explaining his thoughts behind the live show, he added: "Life is about births, deaths and marriages.
"That's what it's all about, some of our most powerful memories come from those moments.
"So it seems really fitting that we encompass all of that in our 40th anniversary week.
"I'm so excited about what we have planned and I hope that fans will love it just as much.
"We hope that viewers who perhaps haven't seen Emmerdale for a while will watch and see what we are about.
"We not just about farms and sheep, there are really good storylines bubbling underneath.
"Our anniversary is going to be a week no-one will want to miss."
The live episode will air next month.
Sounds like it could Cain or Carl so
Emmerdale star Rik Makarem has expressed his excitement over the soap's upcoming live episode.
The ITV1 drama goes live for a one-off special next month as part of the programme's 40th anniversary celebrations.
Makarem's character Nikhil Sharma is among those taking centre stage in the big birthday week, as the businessman's partner Gennie Walker (Sian Reese-Williams) will go into labour.
Appearing on Daybreak today (September 19), Makarem explained that he is hoping to enjoy the experience of the challenging live broadcast.
He said: "[I'm] very excited. I think all the cast generally are quite pumped up about it. I think we're all privileged and quite honoured to be part of that big celebration, that milestone.
"And I've definitely got to say this - there's no tricks with this live episode. [It's a] tribute to the creative team and the production team - we're really going for hearty storylines."
In the meantime, this week's episodes see Nikhil attempt to help Gennie prepare for motherhood by giving her a learning aid baby to look after.
Makarem commented: "You know, this is his way of dealing with it. For Nikhil, it's a NASA mission to become a father, and he needs to get every base covered. If this is going to make Gennie become a good mum and help her confidence, then this is what he's going to do!"
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1.
Emmerdale's Sian Reese-Williams has confirmed that Gennie Walker will give birth during next month's live episode.
Reese-Williams revealed that her character, who is engaged to factory partner Nikhil Sharma (Rik Makarem), will go into labour on the Dales.
"I'm not allowed to say too much about how dramatic it is, but it's outside. And it all happens very quickly," she told the Daily Star newspaper.
The actress also joked: "Apparently you sound like a cow when you're doing it, so I'm just going to moo a bit and it will be fine."
However, the star also admitted that she is "nervous" about filming the scenes, adding: "I've been watching a lot of One Born Every Minute for tips."
Speaking more generally about Gennie's pregnancy storyline, she reflected: "This has put me off having kids. This is enough for me, at least I can take the bump off and give the baby back.
"I did get attached to it though, it was like walking around with a cushion all day, I kept hugging it.
"And my body thought I was pregnant, it was really weird. I was eating more and not moving. I need to go on a post-baby diet!"
Jennie McAlpine performed soap's first live birth as Fiz Brown for Coronation Street's 50th anniversary, and EastEnders star Danielle Harold became the second actress to take on the challenge in a special segment of Billy Mitchell's Olympic episode.
Emmerdale star Adam Thomas has said that the mystery cast member who leaves the soap during the upcoming live episode will be missed on set.
Show bosses recently confirmed that one character will be killed off when Emmerdale goes live for its 40th anniversary next month, leading to speculation over which village resident is about to meet their maker.
Thomas, who plays Adam Barton, told Digital Spy that it will be sad to say goodbye to the actor in question.
He explained: "Without a shadow of a doubt we'll miss this person - of course. When someone does leave, it's definitely a big thing for us because we all work so closely on Emmerdale and we all have so many scenes together."
The 25-year-old also promised that viewers can expect big things from the special live broadcast.
He said: "It's definitely going to be nerve-wracking, but once we've done it, we're all going to be so proud that we've pulled something off that's as spectacular as this episode is going to be. It's just going to be momentous afterwards.
"It's definitely worth it. I've got about one line - they don't trust me!"
^ Does that mean it aint Adam so, pity he is a crap character
