Leyla in Emmerdale split pic

Emmerdale may have hinted at Leyla Harding’s death as the character tempted fate ahead of the big limo crash. 

Upcoming scenes will see a big stunt on screen as two limos containing numerous villagers are involved in separate crashes.

Following the news that actress Roxy Shahidi is leaving the soap, is this how she says goodbye?

Upcoming Emmerdale limo crash

Scenes this week will see many of the villagers head on a night out in a limo – one limo for the girls and one for the boys.

However, they’re surprised to find the limos don’t come with drivers. So Charity Dingle and Caleb Miligan take one for the team and drive the vehicles.

As the organiser, Leyla will of course be in attendance alongside the likes of Suzy, Kerry, Amy, Suzy and Tracy.

Both limos will later be involved in separate crashes, with one ending up in an icy lake. It has also been confirmed that not everyone will survive

Leyla tempts fate in Emmerdale

During Wednesday’s episode of Emmerdale (February 12), while speaking to Jacob and Suzy in the shop, Leyla defended Jacob’s accusation that a limo ride was ‘a bit naff.’

“It’s still the height of romantic sophistication,” she insisted. Leyla added that she had to go for the ride too in order to make sure it runs smoothly as she is the organiser.

She then claimed she hadn’t been out in months, before saying: “I am getting in that limo if it kills me.” Could this be a clue about her impending exit?

Last year, The Sun reported that Roxy Shahidi would be leaving the role of Leyla after 16 years. A source told the publication: “She is really excited about her meaty exit storyline, which will see her character Leyla die on screen. She’d rather go out in a blaze of glory and be remembered.”
