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. It felt like a week long movie that we never wanted to end!<\/p>\n<p>That being said, something we really appreciated was that at the core of the stunt were the characters.

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 not this time. There were no cop outs this week. And Emmerdale need applauded for that.<\/p>\n<p>They proved they can still shock us. And evidence of that is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2025\/02\/20\/emmerdale-confirms-nate-corpse-lake-questions-soap-must-answer\/\">huge unexpected Nate twist<\/a> (The gasp I let out when I realised).

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.
