Emmerdale fans are nothing if not perceptive and it’s not very often they can be fooled, so while we try to figure out who dies in the limo lake stunt later this week, many of them are sure they’ve already worked it all out.

In fact despite many clues pointing to many different people, there’s only one person in their mind as to who will die.

Who dies in the limo lake stunt in Emmerdale?

An exclusive poll run by Emmerdale Insider reveals a whopping 63 percent of viewers are sure Leyla Harding will die.

She’s followed at quite some distance by Caleb Miligan on 4 percent and Chas Dingle on 3 percent.

So who’s worked it out correctly?

Leyla’s last days

Waaaay back in 2024, it was reported Roxy Shahidi was leaving Emmerdale and that she would die in the ice stunt. This was before Emmerdale had even confirmed there was going to be an ice stunt!

The news came from The Sun, who reported an insider saying that bosses ‘want viewers to have their hearts in their mouths’ as the car slams into the lake.

They added: “It’s a nightmare scenario and everything was done to make sure this was a scene with real impact. Hours were spent creating a layer of ice. Then the actors spent hours out on the frozen field in the pitch black trying to do the storyline justice.”

On Friday (February 14) the girls and boys of Emmerdale go for separate nights out in separate limos. But while both vehicles crash, one ends up on the ice, sinking under. As we don’t know which limo it is, Leyla may or may not be in danger.

But new images of Jacob working at the hospital, looking shocked have piqued further suspicions that his mother has been brought in and could well die.

Is Will Ash leaving Emmerdale as Caleb Miligan?

The other popular theory is that Caleb Miligan is set to meet his maker. In the promo trailer for the limo lake stunt a hand is seen desperately bashing on the ice. It is almost certainly a man’s hand – and wearing a wedding ring.

Coupled with that, in one of the New Year flashforwards, Caleb was seen flatlining on an operating table, and Cain was seen sobbing by a graveside. It all adds up!

William Ash, who plays Caleb, is also departing Emmerdale to film a new movie alongside co-star Amy Walsh. It has been written by Amy’s husband and former EastEnders villain Toby-Alexander Smith.

However no announcement has been made that Will is leaving Emmerdale. It is thought he is just taking a break.
