A new fan theory has emerged suggesting that Emmerdale character Laurel Thomas could be killed off in a dramatic storyline. The theory, shared on social media, speculates that Laurel's secret romance with Ross Barton may lead to her becoming the most hated person in the village, culminating in a mysterious death and a whodunnit plot.
The theory predicts that Ross could end up dating Laurel's stepdaughter Gabby Thomas while secretly having an affair with Laurel. It also suggests that Jai Sharma might begin a relationship with Laurel behind Kerry's back, with both affairs being revealed in the same week. This would result in Laurel's ostracisation and eventual death.
While the fan who proposed the theory admitted it started as a joke, they noted that given Emmerdale's history, such twists are possible. Other fans responded positively, with one saying, 'You are HIRED!!!!! That storyline I would watch!' Another commented, 'You've given the scriptwriters much food for thought.'
However, there is currently no official indication that Laurel is leaving the show or being killed off. The storyline is still in its early stages, but fans remain open to the possibility, as anything can happen in soap operas.
