Emmerdale is set to air a dramatic episode on Thursday night, featuring a fire horror and a potential double exit. Pregnant Belle Dingle faces peril when a fire starts at her home while she is asleep, and she may be locked inside. Meanwhile, Ruby Miligan prepares to confess to causing the hit-and-run that injured Ethan Anderson, who later died.
Belle decides to cook dinner on the hob but forgets about it and takes a nap. A tea towel catches fire, causing a blaze while Belle and her dog Piper are asleep. The question remains whether she will wake up in time to escape the danger.
Elsewhere, Ruby Miligan is pressured by her son Nicky to confess to the hit-and-run that injured Ethan Anderson. Ethan collapsed and died days later, though the cause of death was not immediately linked to the crash. Ruby plans to visit Ethan's grieving father Charles to reveal the truth, but she is left stunned by a discovery.
Charles reveals that the coroner has established a cause of death for Ethan, leaving Ruby shell-shocked. The revelation could have significant implications for Ruby's confession and her relationship with her family. Ethan's funeral is set to take place, with his family gathering to say goodbye.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
