Vanity reunion hopes ruined as Vanessa’s fate ‘sealed’ by fans in upcoming limo crash
Fans have been hoping for a Vanity reunion ever since they split
An Emmerdale death is looming, as the show’s highly-anticipated ice stunt takes place. And now fans fear they know exactly who will die.
Ever since Vanessa Woodfield and Charity Dingle broke up, fans have been desperate for their adored Vanity to find their way back together again.
But as time goes on, a reunion is seeming less and less likely. And now that fans are convinced Vanessa will die, all hope seems to be completely gone.
What do we know about the ice stunt?
Emmerdale has been teasing their ice stunt for a while. And we know that someone is going to die – and a lot of reports suggest this is Roxy Shahidi’s exit storyline.
But other fans seem to think that would be too obvious for the show, and are expecting someone else to say goodbye to the village. And unfortunately, Vanessa is a huge theory.
There will be two limos – one for the boys, one for the girls – heading on a big night out. And quite a lot of the villagers are there, giving us a lot of potential victims.
When no drivers appear, Charity and Caleb decide to take on the roles. But things take a dark turn when both limos get into separate accidents. And one of them ends up on a frozen lake – but which one?
At the beginning of 2025, the ITV soap gave us numerous flashforwards of things to come this year. And we saw an ominous hand banging on ice to get out.
So it looks like we’re about to see exactly who that was. And who dies.
Could Vanessa be the Emmerdale death?
Charity is driving the girls’ limo, and Vanessa is riding in the back with her girlfriend, Suzy. So could Charity actually accidentally be responsible for her former fiancée’s death?
The couple became a huge fan-favourite on the show very quickly. And as the years have gone by, that has not changed at all. Despite not having much interaction with each other anymore, fans cling to any tiny scenes they get.
But a new fan theory on X pointed out that Vanessa’s death looks like it is sealed.
They wrote: “So guys, what if Vanessa actually does die. And then Charity steps up and takes on raising Johnny because she did adopt him at one point?”
Charity adopted Johnny when she and Vanessa were together, and Vanessa was going through her cancer treatment.
The heartbreaking fan theory did not go down well with Vanity fans, who are terrified of losing all possibilities of a reunion.
One commented: “Can we all please stop saying Vanessa is going to die. I can’t watch that.”
Vanessa’s death would open up numerous different story arcs for many villagers. Charity would find herself not only grieving someone she loved so much, but also facing reality that she was the one driving the limo.
Then Suzy would be grieving her girlfriend – would Mary use that to get closer to her? And on top of all the trauma that has hit Rhona recently, she would be saying goodbye to her best friend.
So could the Emmerdale death be this heartbreaking for everyone? We hope not!
