There\u2019s no denying that the camera quality was different than usual. That\u2019s because it was. The team at Emmerdale knew they wanted this week to make an impact. And so the added use of higher quality movie-like cameras truly made us feel more captured by the story.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside that, the added atmosphere that was created by the music throughout the whole week truly got us gripped.

Sometimes soaps go all out for a stunt that is more action than connection \u2013 but that was far from the case with the ice stunt.<\/p>\n<p>All of the characters were emotional and scared. And they all were at the focus. Nobody took centre stage, and nobody was thrown to the side. Even the back and forth from the girls to the boys limo \u2013 everyone was included.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29323\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29323\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-29323\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-02-19-100957-1024x556.png\" alt=\"Jacob cries over Leyla's body in Emmerdale\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-02-19-100957-1024x556.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-02-19-100957-1300x705.png 1300w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-02-19-100957-768x417.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-02-19-100957-1536x833.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-02-19-100957.png 1889w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The episodes were extremely emotional (Credit: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>The twists and deaths<\/h2>\n<p>We all knew someone wasn\u2019t making out of the Emmerdale crash alive.

And honestly, it made more of an impact when we didn\u2019t know it was coming.<\/p>\n<p>And sometimes with stunts, soaps take the easy route out and only kill the person that everyone knew was leaving.

But also it gives potential for Mary to have more screen-time. Then Jacob has to find a way to cope with his mum\u2019s death, and that\u2019s surely going to impact his own relationships with those around him. And Kerry and Matty has to deal with losing Amy.<\/p>\n<p>Not only them, but Eric has just lost two people he cared about a lot. And now Kyle\u2019s entire life has been thrown into chaos. Alongside this, Charity will have to come to terms with the fact she is responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2025\/02\/21\/how-many-people-charity-killed-emmerdale-damon-harris-shooting-leyla-crash-death\/\">three more deaths.<\/a><\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>And then there is the fact Emmerdale has another murderer.
