Emmerdale spoilers: Stampeding cows to cause devastation

Last night’s (Sunday 16 October) Emmerdale special anniversary episode saw three lives hanging in the balance.

Pregnant Amelia Spencer was in a perilous situation as she went into labour.

She was heading out onto the Dales for a picnic as the storm hit.

And things took a dangerous turn as the teen began to experience labour pains. The storm meant Amelia couldn’t get a signal on her phone.

Elsewhere, a heartbroken Harriet Finch crashed her quad bike while riding in the woods, looking for Amelia.

She was found by love rival, Kim Tate – also out looking for Amelia, who attempted to pull Harriet to safety.

But the damaged bike burst into flames, throwing Kim into the air.

She was last seen unconscious after hitting her head on a rock as she fell. Will Harriet and Kim make it or will they both die?

There was a wedding, some huge stunts and, of course, those lives in danger.

But not everyone was impressed, with some fans saying they felt underwhelmed by the whole thing.

“What a let down of an episode,” said one.

Several more chimed in, adding: “Well that was quite [Bleep],” followed by the hashtag ‘disappointed’.

“So… nothing much happens in the actual Emmerdale 50th ep, then? This gonna take all week?” queried one more.
