During the hour-long special, Kim and Will Taylor’s wedding ended in disaster when a terrifying storm hit the village.

Pregnant teenager Amelia Spencer was caught in the gale force winds and her contractions started as she desperately called her dad, Dan Spencer, for help before her phone ran out of battery.

Harriet then went looking for Amelia on a quad bike but just as she started to drive off a tree broke in the wind causing her to fall down a ditch and the quad bike then landed on her.

Luckily, Kim came across Harriet while riding her horse and attempted to get her out of the wreckage.

But as Kim left to go and find Amelia, the quad bike, which had been leaking oil, was struck with lightening and caused a huge explosion.

Kim was blown back and hit her head on a stone, with both women ending up lifeless on the floor.

So, who dies in Emmerdale and do Harriet and Kim survive? Here’s what we know…
