Emmerdale fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Laurel Thomas's fate has been confirmed following a horrifying stairs fall in Thursday's episode. The incident, now available on ITVX, saw Laurel pushed by her teenage son Arthur Thomas during a violent outburst, leaving her motionless on the floor.
Despite fears that Laurel might be killed off, spoilers for next week reveal she survives and is not leaving the soap. New images show her recovering at home, with Manpreet Sharma determined to uncover the truth behind the fall. Arthur remains fearful of being caught, as Laurel has not disclosed what happened.
Actress Charlotte Bellamy, who plays Laurel, told The Mirror that the storyline will continue, exploring the lengths a mother goes to protect her child. 'She doesn't want people to think the worst of him,' Bellamy said, adding that the pair will embark on a new journey together.
The upcoming episodes will see Laurel rushed to hospital, while Arthur tries to cover his tracks. Bellamy hinted she has no plans to leave the show, stating she would need warning if her character were to be killed off. Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
