Emmerdale fans are on tenterhooks, believing they’ve pieced together Mary Goskirk’s harrowing secret which is poised to send shockwaves through the village. The acclaimed ITV drama has divulged that Mary’s (portrayed by Louise Jameson) startling revelation will unfurl through a revealing flashback in the episode airing next week.
In the wake of last week’s heart-wrenching limousine accident, Mary was shattered by the sudden death of Suzy Merton (played by Martelle Edinborough) who perished on impact.
Mary had quietly cherished her feelings for Suzy, despite inner conflicts about their age difference.
However, the return of Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) to the Dales pushed Mary aside as Suzy rekindled her romance with the local veterinarian, leaving Mary on the fringe.
With Leyla Harding’s (Roxy Shahidi) funeral on the horizon, a ceremony marking her untimely demise in the same tragedy, Vanessa finds herself grappling with too much sorrow to bear and ultimately decides to skip the funeral, communicating her absence to Mary via text.

A meticulously crafted flashback promises to shed light on the day of the limo disaster, particularly revealing why Mary is wracked with guilt. But what is the truth she conceals?, reports .
Eagle-eyed viewers are adamant that Mary and Suzy’s connection transcended friendship and that they shared an intimate moment off-camera on that fateful day.

Another viewer responded: “I had this exact feeling when I saw Mary blow that kiss. My immediate thought was, ‘that’s weird, they’ve had no screen interactions for ages’. Then I thought ‘I wonder if something has been happening off-screen’ After April’s disappearance and subsequent flashback episode, it seems the writers like this format.”
A third fan added their thoughts: “I thought Mary blowing the kiss so publicly and with Vanessa standing right next to Suzy was very risky. I think they slept together the day/night before and Suzy planned to break up with Vanessa the day after the limo ride. She only went on the limo ride because she promised Kerry she would not because Vanessa was going too.”

One fan expressed their disappointment: “I like Mary too. It’s sad for her that the writers spent months building up to Mary-Suzy only to go and kill off Suzy. That’s just cruel.”
Another speculated: “I still believe that Mary and Suzy were having an affair off-screen and were in love, and that Suzy was planning to leave Vanessa”, while another viewer agreed: “Yeah I think so, then there was a “moment” with Vanessa ….”
