Emmerdale barn fire: Everyone at risk of death

Emmerdale has shared a dramatic first look at the upcoming barn fire that will put several villagers’ lives in danger.

The fire will send shockwaves through the village, with the promo teasing that secrets will be revealed.

In recent weeks, Moira has been acting strangely and drinking, causing her family to worry. It is her actions that set off the devastating chain of events… But who exactly is in danger in the Emmerdale barn fire?

Moira

In the short, thirty second teaser released by Emmerdale, Moira appears to be in the thick of the action.

First spotted kissing Nate (and on the end of some threatening words from him: “If you blab about what happened when you’re half cut”), she’s soon seen wielding a shotgun, shooting out a light, and dishing out a slap.

She’s also foremost in Cain’s thoughts – will the barn inferno finally be the moment everything burns to the ground for Moira?

Ruby

Ruby barely features in the trailer, which could be a diversion away from expectations for her getting caught up in it?

The contemptible villainess has also been part of Emmerdale for less than a year, however. And while we reckon plenty of fans would be glad to see the back of her, we’ve an awful feeling our heartstrings are in for a fiercer plucking…

Nate

Oh dear, oh dear – it isn’t looking great for hunky Nate. With reports suggesting Nate is on his way from Emmerdale, and just as if it looks like his relationship with Tracy might be healed (he’s locking lips with her in the trailer), soap sod’s law probably means Nate will cark it… just as a happy ending (even if he managed to patch it up with Tracy and convince her to relocate to Scotland with him) seemed to be a possibility…

“See that’s the problem, I want you to come with me,” Nate is heard telling someone – presumably Tracy, as the voiceover airs over footage of them kissing.

Is Nate doomed?

Tom

Again, Tom is another Emmerdale regular many fans might not be sad to see fall victim to the fire. After all, he’s probably guaranteed a trip to the burning depths of hell anyway, for how he’s abused Belle.

That gaslighting and manipulation is on show again in the trailer, as he is seen placing a hand over her mouth, and also telling her: “You look so beautiful when you cry.”

What a creep! Tom’s also seen collapsing with a head wound. Could this be his bloody end?

Caleb

When it comes to stacking up bad karma, Caleb may have picked up more through the sharing of bad vibes than any of other Emmerdale rotters caught up in the fire.

“I saw Moira with Nate, kissing,” he is heard saying in voiceover, to an unidentified someone else.

Loose lips can sink ships, as they say. And in this case, it isn’t Moira and Nate’s lips – but chatting about them instead could prove damning for Caleb.

Seen sneaking around the barn, Caleb may also be among the three figures – it is hard to definitely say who is who at the end of the trailer. But one outline certainly does look like him… and goes limp as an explosion goes off!

Mack

Similarly, we’re not sure whether Mack might be one of the three spied at the end of the teaser. One may be Caleb, and another appears to be John, possibly.

Additionally, Mack might be the person who appears to have a burning ceiling beam drop on them… or is that Nate?

After his recent close encounter with a bull, has Mack’s luck in defying death run out?

John

John‘s only just joined Emmerdale in recent months, so we’re hopeful that could mean a thumbs up for his prospects. But we’re not sure, even though it could indicated he will escape death in the barn.

He looks to be very involved, though. “Call the fire brigade now, tell them someone’s trapped,” he’s heard saying, sounding like a man attempting to get control of a situation.

But other glimpses in the trailer show nobody is in control. And does he end up trapped himself when an explosion goes off?

Belle

As if being in the clutches of the mad, bad, and dangerous to know Tom isn’t enough to keep Belle occupied, the drama keeps on building as she looks to be in a right state as flames lick around her.

Not only does Tom appear to restrain her at one point, she is also shown to be out for the count with the blaze mere feet away.

Could Belle’s words in voiceover end up as her own eulogy? “I love you so much. And that love is never going to go away,” she is heard to say.

Tracy

Is anyone guaranteed a happy ending in Soapland? Just as if it seems like Tracy and Nate might be able to get things back on track with Nate, it seems like he might relocate to Scotland.

Then, going by the trailer, it seems like Caleb hasn’t finished causing trouble for Nate – and the fears of Nate departing the soap in a coffin seem very real.

If Nate leaves, could Tracy be set for an exit, too?

Cain

He doesn’t feature all that much in the trailer – and he’s certainly outlasted many Emmerdale veterans in similarly hazardous situations – but Cain‘s luck can’t last forever.

Moira, as ever, appears to be a catalyst for trouble. And like a moth attracted to the flame, Cain is pulled into danger as he’s seen desperately calling his wife’s name as he arrives at the fiery scene, and also peering through flames.

Will

Despite his prominence in Emmerdale’s biggest storylines, Will‘s presence in the teaser is a relatively small one.

As with Ruby, that could be part of a soap plot red herring – not giving too much away in the trailer.

But, as he often appears, Will has a look full of regret in the preview. He’s been having a really rough go of it recently. Could a terrible death in the burning barn be the full stop to his miserable time in Emmerdale?
