Emmerdale fans can't decide who died tonight - but it's not looking good for Amy, Leyla and Liam
One more Emmerdale death has been confirmedFour unconscious Emmerdale faves were taken to hospital on Tuesday February 18, but one was declared dead on arrival – so who died tonight? We can’t decide and neither can fans.
Amy, Leyla, Liam and Noah were all rushed to Hotten General for urgent treatment. Only Noah hadn’t been in the limo that crashed onto the ice – but he was the reason it crashed when Charity swerved to avoid him.
After Charity got herself out of the car and found her son unconscious in the woods, she managed to call for help. But the emergency services arrived too late for one person. Who?
Emmerdale confirms another death
On Tuesday February 18, the drama after the limo lake crash continued. With Charity, Chas, Tracy, Vanessa and Liam all safely on the banks of the lake, Liam’s condition started to worsen. Chas tried to keep him awake and as warm as she could, but he had a bump to the head and was disorientated and clearly in a bad way.
Meanwhile, Amy fell in the ice last night, where she discovered a dead body. She was fighting to get back up to the top, but couldn’t break through the ice again and started to sink down. Fortunately, Tracy risked her own life to rush back across the lake and pull her out.
As Amy lay shivering on the embankment, hypothermia was clearly setting in. By the time the ambulances arrived, Kerry was craddling her daughter in her arms, but she was unconscious.
In the limo, Leyla had remained silent about the glass that had cut her side. She finally told Kerry, who insisted she wouldn’t leave her behind and dragged her out. But with a broken foot, Kerry couldn’t save the both of them and when she almost fell through the ice, Vanessa rushed back across to drag Leyla to safety.
However, Leyla was now unconscious and it isn’t looking good for her at all.
As the ambulances finally arrived, the three in the worst condition were loaded in. Also taken away was Noah, who was unconscious as well – but no one knows what has happened to him.
Just before the credits rolled, one of the paramedics radioed in to the hospital that one person was dead on arrival. But we don’t know who.
Who died in Emmerdale tonight?
So we know Amy, Liam, Leyla and Noah were in a critical condition. It looks like Noah will survive, given we know his storylines later in the week. So that leaves Amy, Liam and Leyla.
Speculation was rife after the episode: “I wonder who it’s gonna be that goes? It’s between Liam, Leyla, Amy or Noah. I’m thinking it’s going to be Leyla as she was badly injured!” shared one viewer on social media.
Other fans were more certain in their theories.
“Amy has to be the one dead confirmed on arrival right?” said one. Another agreed: “I think Amy is sadly dead in the ice.”
But more popular than Amy were Leyla and Liam: “I fear Leyla has just died,’we have one patient, dead on arrival’, my heart is physically in pieces, I have adored Leyla for so many years it’s gonna hurt so much to lose her.”
Someone else said: “The way Leyla is prob gonna die (bc Roxy has left) and I’m not ready to lose her.”
“Pretty certain it will be Liam and Leyla that die,” shared another.
Liam also proved a popular choice: “Have a feeling Liam is going to be the next one not to survive this limousine accident,” said one. “I reckon Liam too, because Chas never gets any happiness does she?” agreed another.

What happened in series 9?
In the latest series of the detective drama set and filmed in Grantchester, Geordie said a sad farewell to his pal and sidekick, the Reverend Will Davenport.
The popular Rev left the village - and a heartbroken Geordie behind - after taking on a new role in Newcastle. Wanting to make a real difference, he bade an emotional farewell to his friends after several years.
His wife Bonnie, played by Charlotte Ritchie, also left Grantchester, with their baby James George.
Their last scenes were in episode 2 of Grantchester series 9. In episode 3, Rishi Nair's Alphy Kotteram made QUITE the entrance as the new vicar.
The actor said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining Grantchester. The welcome and support I've received from everyone has been overwhelming. The success of the show and the reason we are here for a ninth season is a testament to all the people that have previously worked on it."
He added: "I'm really excited to get started. And cannot wait for the Grantchester fans to meet Alphy and to see all that's in store for him."
Who's in the cast of series 10?
Soldier Soldier actor Robson Green will return as DI Geordie Keating in the cast of Grantchester series 9. Former Hollyoaks star Rishi Nair will also be back as "witty" and "charismatic" Reverend Alphy Kottaram.
The other favourites tipped to return include Al Weaver as Leonard Finch, Tessa Peake-Jones as Mrs Chapman, Kacey Ainsworth as Cathy Keating, and Nick Brimble as Jack Chapman.
Oliver Dimsdale is expected to return as Daniel Marlowe, as is Bradley Hall as Larry Peters, and Melissa Johns as Miss Scott.

Is Robson Green leaving Grantchester?
Robson Green has played DI Geordie Keating since series 1 in 2014. He previously spoke about his role in future series of Grantchester, and made it clear he had no plans to leave.
When asked if he ever got tempted to leave the show, like co-stars James Norton and Tom Brittney, Robson made it clear he was happy to stay.
Robson, who is also executive producer of Grantchester, explained: "I never get itchy feet because I'm at a stage in my life where I want to work with people who make me genuinely happy, in front of the lens and behind it.
"I'm not chasing awards, I'm not chasing fame. I'm just being present in a very enjoyable and healthy environment, and that's what Grantchester is. It's one of the nicest jobs I have ever done in my career."
In an interview with TVGuide.co.uk, he added: "I'm very blessed that I can do other stuff. I do documentaries and I do other dramas. Why would I want to leave? I never take one second of Grantchester for granted."
However, sadly ITV decided the series would end after series 11.
