has seemingly revealed the unfortunate victim of the upcoming limo crash, a much-loved character from the village.
The soap is set to shock viewers next week with a horrifying accident involving two limos packed with 17 villagers heading out for an evening of fun. However, the night takes a tragic turn when both vehicles veer off the road.
The women’s limo carries Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton), Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson), Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh), Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) and (Emma Atkins).
Meanwhile, the men’s limo transports Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson), Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), Sam Dingle (James Hooton), Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards), Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano), Caleb Miligan (William Ash) (Jeff Hordley) and Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt).
In a shocking twist, distractions lead to one of the limos crashing into a frozen lake, leaving its passengers battling for survival.

Adding to the tension, one villager ends up trapped beneath the ice, their fate hanging in the balance, reports Leeds Live. While it remains unclear who survives this harrowing ordeal, fans are speculating that the soap has subtly hinted at the identity of the casualty – and it appears to be a soap legend.
In a gripping turn on Wednesday’s episode (February 12), Leyla’s words on have sparked a frenzy of speculation among viewers. With palpable excitement, she spoke to her son Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) about their impending night out, uttering a line that has fans buzzing with theories: “I am getting in that limo if it kills me.”
This ominous statement has fuelled rumours that Leyla could be the next character to meet a tragic fate on the soap. The rumour mill has been churning since last year when whispers emerged of actress Roxy Shahidi’s departure from after a 16-year tenure. Reports suggested a grim exit was on the cards for her character.
