What happens in Emmerdale tonight?

The dust is not even beginning to settle after the huge Corriedale crash last night (Monday January 5). It brought Emmerdale and Coronation Street together in one spectacular episode for the first time ever. And it didn’t disappoint.

With Cain fighting for his life after a shock diagnosis, John Sugden finally dead, plus multiple more people in hospital, things are certainly dramatic

Meanwhile, Charity fears for Mackenzie’s life, while also trying to keep her own secret. Sarah is asking questions, but will Charity be forced to confess?

Tonight, we also see another confession, but the person is relieved when it seems their secret is safe. However little do they know, someone has the whole thing on video. Who has captured the awful moment – and what will they do with the incriminating evidence?

Elsewhere, as the revelations keep on coming over what happened and why, it’s clear life will never be the same again. The hospital is overrun, the police have questions and villagers are facing up to their future.

With lives still on the line and loved characters still in danger, everyone faces an uncertain future. Will they pull together? Or will this push them apart?
