Sadie makes a deal in Classic Emmerdale

Sadie goes to see Jimmy and begs him to delete the photo of her and Cain together. Jimmy agrees – but only on condition Sadie sleeps with him.

Sadie arranges to meet him in an hour, but when she gets home she finds Matthew has prepared a romantic meal for the two of them. He produces a diamond ring, and pops the question.

What will Sadie say?

Dawn says goodbye

Elsewhere, Dawn says her goodbyes, though Viv and Bob can’t hide their disapproval. Terry spends time with TJ but brings him back so late that Dawn ends up missing her flight.

Shadrach wants back into the family

Shadrach begs Zak to let him come back but Zak’s not budging. But later, Shadrach is there when Alice faints and rushes to help, hoping that will encourage Zak to welcome him home.

Horror at the show home opening in Classic Emmerdale

It’s the day of the show home opening at the King’s River development and the whole village has turned up to have a nosy. As Tom welcomes the villagers to the opening, he takes the opportunity to announce Sadie and Matthew’s engagement.

But a frustrated Jimmy is still determined to take what he wants from Sadie, so he follows her upstairs and pushes her into the show home bathroom.

Meanwhile, Noreen is waiting to use the loo. Bored, she opens the airing cupboard door and there’s a massive blast which sends her flying over the banister, and burns estate agent David, who’s standing nearby.

Marlon and Donna are floored by the explosion, as the guests in the beer tents run for cover.

Will anyone survive?

Inside the house, Diane, Dawn and Danny are trying to get out, but the ceiling collapses, leaving Diane trapped.

Jimmy and Sadie are desperately trying to escape when the floor vanishes from beneath them, sending them plunging to the ground.

There’s a moment of silence but then, as Dawn looks out of the window, there’s another huge explosion and the house collapses,

As the horrified onlookers watch, it’s clear not everyone is going to make it out alive.
