Brace yourselves for another explosive Emmerdale moment this autumn as Andy Sugden discovers the truth about his wife Katie's tragic demise.
Andy's ruthless brother Robert pushed Katie to her death in an abandoned farm building in February, but so far Aaron Livesy and Paddy Kirk are the only villagers aware of his guilt.
Show bosses are now building up to another must-see moment as Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) finally learns how and why his wife died.
It's fair to say that Robert has received his fair share of beatings recently with Ross Barton and Cain Dingle to contend with, but could Andy dish out his most severe punishment yet?
Asked about Andy's future, Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates teased: "Watch this space for autumn because what happened to Katie is still largely a secret. When Katie died in February, the point of doing something of that level was that it would have great repercussions as time goes on.
"Andy is still yet to find out what happened to his beautiful wife, so Kelvin is likely to be busy!"
Katie's on-screen death came after Sammy Winward decided to bow out from the role after 14 years. Oates added that she is delighted with how much storyline material has since been sparked by the long-standing character's exit.
She said: "I think it's given us a great deal. You could even argue that the upcoming helicopter crash episodes are a result of what happened to Katie, because Aaron has told Chrissie about his affair with Robert after finding out how Katie died.
"Chrissie's revenge against Robert leads to the crash, which then has direct repercussions over the rest of this year. So actually what happened on that February day when Katie died will have consequences into winter.
"It's not just what happened to Katie in that moment, it's about carrying that story forward and exploring the kind of man that makes Robert."
Makes me think that Andy will survive the crash too
