The end for Ray and Celia at last It’s coming. We know it’s coming. Ray Walters and Celia Daniels will be leaving Emmerdale one way or another. And soon. Jaye Griffiths, who plays Celia has revealed she will be leaving. She told us she always knew the role would be “finite” but that she was sad about it ending because Emmerdale is “heaven” to work at. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers And, appearing on Lorraine last month, actor Joe Absolom, who plays Ray, talked about being an “unemployed actor” which many have taken as a hint he’s filmed his final Emmerdale scenes. That would be perfect timing for a big Christmas reveal and a huge Corriedale episode… Now Marlon and Rhona also know the horrifying truth it’s only a matter of time before more people find out. So how will Ray and Celia leave? Will it be in a police car or is the only way for them to go death? Dylan was run down by Ray’s car (Credit: ITV) 2. Dylan’s fate revealed in Emmerdale spoilers Currently Dylan lies in a coma in hospital after Ray ran him down. It’s not known whether he will live or die, but Ray’s hoping he will at the very least end up a vegetable. The key thing is, however, Dylan is still alive. Even if it’s only just, as Christmas approaches, will he remain in hospital or will he start to show signs of recovery? He’s the key to bringing down Ray and Celia and also revealing where Bear is. We really hope he doesn’t die… Kev has gone – but hopefully not for good! (Credit: ITV) 3. Kev to return and a ‘threat to life’ in Emmerdale spoilers Big bad Kev might have gone for now, but Aaron and Robert know, and so do we, that’s it’s not for good. Ryan Hawley who plays Robert told Digital Spy December and Christmas are “high stakes”. “It’s not a very easy time for Aaron and Robert this December. The events leading up to Christmas and New Year into the Corriedale special are very high stakes.” He continued: “Robert’s state of mind around Christmas is panic, very anxious. There’s a threat to life this Christmas.” Kev promised he ‘always gets revenge’ so it’s clear it’s only a matter of time before he returns. But will he be alone? Fans hope John gets his comeuppance (Credit: ITV) 4. John Sugden’s dramatic comeback Killer John Sugden managed to escape justice and run away abroad. We’ve always said the chances are that Emmerdale did not air John’s exit on a random Wednesday night. It’s highly likely that John will be back at some point for that final showdown. And now the clues are coming thick and fast that he will be connected to the upcoming Corriedale. A poster displayed in the Corrie police station popped up again earlier this week. Both Coronation Street and Aaron actor Danny Miller shared that on their socials, suggesting this is definitely an Easter Egg of what’s to come. Some fans are sure Kev will hook up with John and they’ll return for revenge together. Stranger things have happened… Corriedale will explode (Credit: ITV) 5. More Corriedale details after explosive trailer reveal A new trailer has been released for Corriedale, which reveals a huge car pile up. The special episode will air next year to promote the beginning of the soap power hour which will see Emmerdale air at 8pm followed by Corrie at 8.30pm every weeknight. There is a huge theory is that none-other than John Sugden will return and be caught by the Corrie coppers. Some fans have even gone so far as to say Oliver Farnworth’s Corrie character Andy Carver never actually died and is posing as John Sugden. It’s far-fetched, but it could be true! It has been confirmed that DS Lisa Swain from Corrie will be appearing as will Aaron Dingle from Emmerdale. With Aaron’s life potentially under threat, could this be the huge storyline we’re about to see unfold? Now Belle is talking about organising a wedding for a bridezilla in Manchester, which can surely only be the cobbles’ Debbie Webster? And This Morning Soap expert Sharon Marshall has announced more exciting news about the crossover last week. She has exclusively revealed the fans will get to vote on one of the pairings will see in the episode. Writing on her Instagram, Sharon said: “So which SOAP UNIVERSE PAIRING do YOU want for CorrieDale?” The options are: Charity and Carla, Nicola and Roy Cropper, Sam Dingle and Kirk, Ross Barton and Tracy Barlow. Sharon continued: “The Soap Gods have listened and these are the four potential Corriedale crossover pairing scenes that will be filmed TODAY at a secret location. But only ONE will make it to air in six week’s time for the Corriedale ep in January. Voting details coming soon on the show socials but it’s up to YOU!” We’re very excited! Victoria will be leaving (Credit: ITV) 5. An exit for Victoria in Emmerdale spoilers In the coming months we will be saying goodbye to the iconic Victoria Sugden. But in happier news, it’s not forever – as actress Isabel Hodgins announced she is expecting her first baby! Isabel just recently got married and so the whole thing is absolutely adorable. And she joins the many Emmerdale stars having babies recently.. It just means we will lose Victoria soon. And we have a few ideas on how that will go down. However, we do like the theory that Adam Thomas may reprise his role as Adam Barton and whisk her away with him – what a treat that would be! Can Charity keep up the lies (Credit: ITV) 6. How long can Charity keep her secret? In a SHOCKING turn of events, it was revealed last month that Ross had slept with Charity and then it was confirmed Ross is the father of the baby Charity is carrying. This would bring heartache for Sarah and Jacob, who are under the impression the embryo transplant worked and that Charity is carrying their baby. She couldn’t go through with an abortion, nor could she bring herself to tell the truth. However, the lies are beginning to take their toll. Charity is growing more and more paranoid about her secret coming out, especially as Mack has started a full-on bromance with Ross. How much longer can Charity keep this a secret? And will it mean the end of her marriage when the truth does come out? Jason is a happy surprise for Lydia (Credit: ITV) 7. Jason Donovan in the Dales! Legendary pop icon and Neighbour star Jason Donovan is making cameo in the Dales later this year. Filming for the episode has already taken place in Leeds and we can reveal Jason will perform one of his classic hits in the Woolpack! It’s all a huge surprise for Lydia Dingle who is a massive Jason fan! Jason has spoken about his stint on the soap. He said: “I’m incredibly excited to have been asked to make a cameo appearance in Emmerdale as myself. “Filming was great fun and all of the cast and crew were extremely welcoming.
