Wild fan theory predicts that body bag flashforward victim is actually a horse
Nothing surprises us anymore since Ice turned killer, actually
With Emmerdale airing multiple flashforward scenes this New Year, one theory reckons a horse may end up dead.
Five flashforwards were shown as the villagers saw in 2025, with one showing a body bag being disposed of in the river.
But, what if a human body isn’t actually in that bag? Wild, right? Well one theory reckons there could be another explanation for the whole thing.
New Year Emmerdale flashforward shows body bag being disposed of
This New Year, the villagers celebrated the clock turning to midnight as they saw in the New Year together.
However, five flashbacks for 2025 then revealed that not everybody would be having the ‘Happy New Year’ they were toasting to.
One flashback saw Mack running away from something, another saw Cain standing over a grave. Another flashback saw Caleb lying in hospital, whilst a fourth one saw someone trapped under some ice. Brutal.
But, one of the flashbacks has now conjured up a new theory. It saw a body bag be disposed of in a river – but it was unclear who was in the bag or who was disposing of it…
Emmerdale fan theory: Horse killed and dumped in body bag?
What if a horse is actually in the body bag instead of a human? A rather bizarre theory has suggested just that. Although we’re unsure why someone would go to the extreme length of covering up a dead horse’s body…
On Reddit, a fan of the soap wrote: “What if it’s not a body at all and we made to think it’s a body. Could it be something else like a horse or some other incriminating evidence? Like it’s a red herring that it’s a body?”
Whilst this all seems really wild and extreme, we’re not ruling it out. We’ve seen one of Kim’s horses get revealed as a killer (Ice, you’ll always be famous) in a shock whodunnit twist we couldn’t have predicted. So, a horse in a body bag could well come into fruition… Or, perhaps not. But, just who is in that body bag?
