Emmerdale teases storyline as an ambulance arrives in the village

It seems at least one character will likely be rushed to hospital in upcoming Emmerdale scenes. The soap has teased a mystery spoiler confirming an ambulance arrives in the village next week.

With plenty currently going on in the Dales, from Moira’s brain tumour diagnosis to Belle‘s ongoing struggles with abusive husband Tom, there’s many possible reasons why paramedics are called to the village.

An ambulance arrives in the village

A cryptic spoiler image shows an ambulance parked up in the Dales, but the vehicle is not in the main village. Instead, however, it is parked in nearby field. The ambulance’s blue flights are flashing, signalling an emergency has occurred.

The spoiler, believed to be for the episode airing on Friday, September 27, simply reads: “An ambulance arrives in the village…”

Soap bosses have kept all other details under wraps, therefore there are no further spoilers for the episode in question.

Who could be in danger?

There’s plenty of possible reasons why an ambulance is in Emmerdale village next week. In the days leading up to the emergency, two residents in particular are believed to be in danger.

Eric has a health scare at the GP surgery next week. He suffers an angina attack, but thankfully John is nearby and comes to his rescue, managing to prevent the attack. Could the ambulance be called for Eric?

Meanwhile, Belle faces another showdown with estranged husband Tom as the domestic abuse storyline continues. Following chats with Lydia, Belle wonders whether to report Tom to the police in next week’s episodes.

Later, she manages to convince Amelia to meet up with her and invites her to the Dingles’ for a chat. As Belle waits for Amelia, Tom lets himself into the house and locks the door, leaving Belle horrified. Tom conceals the exit and as a result, Belle has no way out of the property.

Is Belle in danger? And is the ambulance called for her?
