Emmerdale aired a devastating death on Thursday, August 27, as Jimmy King (Nick Miles) died after being trapped in his car following a crash into the wedding marquee. The episode, available early on YouTube and ITVX, saw the aftermath of the accident that struck during Dawn Taylor and Joe Tate's wedding ceremony.
Jimmy's final moments with Nicola
Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) discovered the crash on her bike and found Jimmy trapped inside his car. Realising he could not escape, Nicola climbed in beside him as he shared plans for them to renew their wedding vows and presented her with an eternity ring. A dream sequence showed the couple exchanging vows and dancing, before the scene returned to the present where Jimmy had died.
Explosion threatens more lives
The tragedy was not confined to Jimmy's death. Sparks from electrics and petrol combined in a deadly explosion as Dawn and Nicola escaped the marquee, leaving Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) trapped under debris. Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) rushed to save Joe but was thrown back by the blast. The episode leaves viewers questioning whether Joe survived, with further deaths possible in this dramatic week.
