Emmerdale aired worrying scenes on New Year's Eve, as the hour-long episode saw Belle Dingle and her nephew Kyle fighting for their lives after being left abandoned in freezing temperatures overnight.
Ellis Chapman had joined them on a camping trip but left with Belle's car keys by accident, stranding them. Belle broke into the car and they tried to stay warm, but Ellis failed to answer her call for help.
When Ellis realised his mistake, he and Kyle's father Cain set off to the forest and found Belle and Kyle lifeless inside the car. Neither responded to attempts to wake them, and Cain seemed panicked as he checked for a pulse.
At the hospital, both were diagnosed with severe hypothermia. Belle slowly regained consciousness, but Kyle's condition was critical. Doctors warned that his body was at risk of shutting down and raising his core temperature too fast could lead to serious complications.
The nurse could not confirm if Kyle would survive, saying the next few hours would be critical. Cain, desperate for revenge on Ellis and feuding with his father Al, may take drastic action.
