Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw has teased an ‘explosive’ year ahead in the ITV soap ahead of New Year’s Eve flash forward scenes.
Today’s episode will feature five unique lookaheads to 2025, with scenes teasing the futures of some of our favourite villagers.
What will the New Year have in store?
‘The flash forwards will tease several storylines that will reveal a sneak peak of what’s to come across 2025′ Laura told us.
‘As our villagers toast the New Year, a glimpse into each of their futures will be revealed.
‘As the fate of those depicted hangs in the balance, the only thing for certain is it’s going to be an explosive year in Emmerdale.’
Sounds intriguing… and after a brilliant 2024, we’re certainly jumping on board!
As the trailer shows, the coming weeks will be dramatic for each and everyone of the characters, as a fun night out turns disastrous – changing the residents’ lives forever.

This is likely to be an epic stunt that will see a number of characters plunge into the icy depths of a nearby lake, and with a line of much-loved actors leaving, we could see a death or two.
Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) is desperate to make a fresh start with her estranged daughter Steph (Georgia Jay) following her arrival, but the threat of her father Anthony (Nicholas Day) – who sexually abused her as a teenager – looms large.
After discovering her affair with brother-in-law Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), he is edging ever so closer to exposing the horrific truth to their partners Caleb (William Ash) and Moira (Natalie J Robb).
To make matters worse, Ruby explains to Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) that Caleb may not be Steph’s father.
Following April Windsor’s (Amelia Flanagan) disappearance at Christmas, her dad Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) is crumbling into a state of despair.
When a secret is revealed, he and wife Rhona (Zoe Henry) are forced to pull together and reform their support network.
Elsewhere, Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) continues on a difficult grief journey, and after suspecting that returnee Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) could have something to do with her dad’s death, her suspicions soon turn towards step mum Kim Tate (Claire King).
Could she be barking up the wrong tree again, or is she onto something?
After taking matters into her own hands, she begins to make decisions that could ruin her life.
