January kicked off with Emmerdale flash-forwards of some of our favourite characters look set for a bumpy year.

But as we haven’t actually seen any of them take place on screen yet, we wonder when we actually will.

So, here’s a reminder of all the Emmerdale flash-forwards from the start of 2025.

Body thrown into the lake

This is what we all thought would be Anthony. But as we have failed to see John throw his body into the lake, are we actually set for another murder?

Or will John tell someone where he buried Anthony and they realise they need a better hiding spot?

We really don’t know. But what we do know is we couldn’t make out who was throwing the body over. So it really could be anyone.

Cain mourning in Emmerdale flash-forwards

One of the scenes showed Cain looking extremely upset as he cries over a fresh grave.

The plot is covered in flowers, and white roses. And he looks like he has just left the funeral of someone. While we don’t know who is in the grave, there are a number of possibilities.

With Moira’s ongoing brain tumour storyline, could something go tragically wrong causing her to lose her life? Or could it be Caleb – one of the flash-forwards looked a bit worrying for him.

Or perhaps the long-standing theory that Nate is dead actually is true, and Cain is mourning his son.

Caleb flatlines in Emmerdale flash-forwards

The biggest clue that Cain is mourning his brother, is because of a different flash-forward.

We seen Caleb lying in the hospital attached to tubes. But in the very short clip, his heart stops.

With no idea how he got in this position, or if they manage to get him breathing again, we have to wonder is this the end of Caleb? We hope not!

The hand under the ice

One of the most sinister flash-forwards showed a hand, trapped under ice, banging to get help.

This will be linked to the huge upcoming stunt which sees a vehicle plummet into the ice, with some of our favourite villagers lives hanging in the balance. And reports suggest not all will make it out alive.

With numerous cast members rumoured to be leaving the show, we aren’t sure exactly who will be involved in the huge stunt. But many reports suggest this is how Leyla will be departing the soap.

Mackenzie runs from something

The most random and confusing flash-forward was Mackenzie’s. All we saw was him looking absolutely terrified while running through the woods.

Maybe he was running from someone? Or an animal? Or had he done something bad and was running away from it? We will just have to wait and see.

Whether all of the flash-forwards merge together or are separate incidents throughout the year is another question that we don’t know.
