A final goodbye in Emmerdale spoilers

1. Zak’s funeral takes place

During yesterday’s episode, Sam and Cain returned home from Scotland with Zak’s body. While Belle was angry that they’d thrown Zak in the back of a van, Cain explained that they had no choice.

Zak had left instructions that he wanted to be buried within 48 hours of his death and wanted a party to end all parties. Cain vowed that they would ‘raise merry hell.’ Tonight’s special episode will see the ‘party’ play out in the form of a funeral.

But the Dingles are in for a shock when a long-lost relative appears at the graveside. Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain revealed: “It’s someone you might know. They’re not going to make things go smoothly for the Dingles.”
