Emmerdale producer Kate Oates has explained her decision to kill off characters in next week's dramatic episodes, insisting that it is not about sensationalism.
The ITV soap is lining up one of its biggest ever stunts next week as a helicopter crashes into the village hall where Pete Barton and Debbie Dingle's wedding celebrations are taking place.
Although viewers will have to tune in to see who fails to survive the tragedy, bosses have confirmed that several characters' lives will be changed dramatically as a result.
Speaking at an Emmerdale press event, Oates explained: "It always needs to be story-led really. I think for the audience to really invest in something it has to be story-led and character-led.
"It is not a decision you ever make lightly and I think if you are going to lose characters and you are going to lose them in a highly emotional situation like that, then you need to make sure they are actors who can carry that kind of performance."

She continued: "It's about giving someone the role who can carry it off. People need to care and the audience need to care - there is that saying 'kill your darlings', and if you lose characters that no one cares about then it is a waste.
"It is a carefully considered discussion and we all sit around - the writers and my bosses as well - and have a proper conversation about who we want to lose and why, and who we can afford to lose."
Oates admitted that there will be a long journey ahead for the characters who survive the drama, especially those who are left grieving for loved ones.

She said: "It's not about whether the show is doing well or badly, but it is about something having a consequence. Drama has to have consequence, good storylines will always provoke change and nothing is more life-changing than these sometimes fatal moments and they make people see their own lives differently.
"Often it is not about those that are killed but about those who are left behind and how their lives change as a result - that is one of the oldest rules of storytelling.
"If you are going to have a big event like this and people remain unscathed then you kind of have to question why you did it - it means it is more of a stunt and it's a bang."

Praising next week's huge episodes, Oates added: "What I like about these episodes is that we have lots of events over five episodes. They are very pacey, there is always something to see and there is always different precincts where there are things going on and different people at risk.
"It is not about just killing people for sensationalism. I think the audience are sophisticated enough to know that's a futile exercise and they won't be rewarded watching that.
"It is about finding something that is story-led and making sure that the people who are left behind can carry a good, emotional story afterwards."
Emmerdale launches its disaster week on Monday, August 3 at 7pm on ITV.

Emmerdale has confirmed that its upcoming explosive stunt will involve a helicopter crashing into the village hall.
The ITV soap is lining up one of its biggest ever stunts in unmissable scenes next week, but the details surrounding the exact nature of the incident have been kept under wraps until now.
Dramatic pictures show the tragedy unfolding on Debbie Dingle and Pete Barton's wedding day, which will also see Debbie's affair with Ross finally exposed.
As Pete (Anthony Quinlan) proudly tells his bride Debbie that he has booked a surprise helicopter to whisk them away, a heated row will escalate outside between Chrissie Sugden and her cheating husband Robert, who are currently involved in a love triangle of their own.
Chrissie will then set light to Robert's prized car but the fire will quickly get out of control, causing a stack of gas canisters to explode just as the arriving helicopter passes.
Chrissie and Robert can do nothing but look on in horror as the two collide, causing the helicopter to hurtle on a doomed trajectory towards the village hall, where the unsuspecting wedding party are celebrating.
The upcoming drama is being promoted as one of Emmerdale's biggest and most dramatic storylines to date, but viewers will have to tune in to see which characters make it out alive and who will meet their end.

It's not just Emmerdale's helicopter crash which impresses in the stunt stakes next week - fans will also see Ross Barton take a potentially-deadly plunge over a cliff.
The village's bad boy finds himself in terrible trouble when Cain Dingle abducts him on the day of Debbie and Pete's wedding, keen to ensure that he doesn't have the opportunity to ruin the big day.
Cain knocks Ross unconscious, ties his feet and hands together and bundles him into the back of a van. Not one to do things by halves, Cain then drives the vehicle off to the edge of a cliff and abandons Ross there.
It doesn't take too long for Ross to force open the back door of the locked van, but when he is unable to manoeuvre his way to safety, he is left with no choice but to risk his life by diving downwards into the deep water below.
Speaking at an Emmerdale press event, Michael Parr - who plays Ross - laughed: "I mithered our producer Kate Oates for weeks and weeks to let me do that stunt myself, and I'm ashamed to say that it wasn't me! I did a little bit of it, but I didn't do the fall itself. Maybe they couldn't get the money to insure my hair!
"I don't know what I was thinking because I'm actually terrified of heights. I was in Paris the other week and part of the Eiffel Tower has a glass floor. I just couldn't walk on it - I was shaking, drooling and holding onto something!"
What's next for Ross?

He added: "If Kate had let me have my own way, we might have got up there to do the stunt and I'd have said I couldn't do it! It was so high up and the water was 20 metres deep. I did scenes in the water and it was pretty cold, so I'll remember that for a while!"
Emmerdale will air Ross's fall in Tuesday's unmissable hour-long episode at 7pm on ITV.

This confirms it is about popularity I think. I still will wait to see if any of the more important charters will die. Nobody cared about Dan or Kerry or Sam. I think Victoria is going to die she is not a lead but she is a well known character connected to the leads.

Robert is too important to the show he is not going anywhere.I wish Robert would die, I'm tired of him getting away with everything.
Same for Jai.
I just fear Aaron and Paddy will both die and the truth about Robert won't ever be out..that he killed Katie too.
I hope Ali, Jai, Brenda, Moira, Emma to be amongst dead. I do fear one killed off will be Vanessa..I wanted the truth about the baby to come out....
