Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley has given fans a glimpse into the “sad” conclusion of the soap’s forthcoming double crash disaster. The actress, who plays Mandy Dingle, revealed that she will be bidding farewell to some of her co-stars due to two devastating limousine accidents.
Describing the upcoming scenes, Lisa compared the filming experience to being on “a movie set”. She went on to reveal: “It’s party night. All the girls are glammed up but things go wrong.
“A massive argument erupts in the boys’ limo and there’s complete pandemonium in the girls’ limo, resulting in both cars veering off the road.
“Both vehicles are filled with people and one of them ends up crashing onto a frozen lake.”
Speaking to Woman’s Weekly Magazine, the 48-year-old actress hinted that the aftermath of the accident “will have a lasting impact on the village,” reports Leeds Live.
“The crash results in some of my dear friends leaving the show, which is always heartbreaking,” she confessed. It’s been suggested that several villagers will lose their lives in the tragedy, while another remains trapped beneath the icy depths.
The trailer shows passengers being tossed around in the limo, with characters screaming in terror as the crash takes place. One of the limos ends up stranded on a frozen lake, leading residents to realise they’re treading on thin ice.
The Emmerdale drama is set to explode with 17 characters caught in the mix, including fan-favourites like Mandy, Paddy Kirk (portrayed by Dominic Brunt ), Leyla Harding (played by Roxy Shahidi ), and of course, Cain Dingle ( Jeff Hordley ). While Lisa’s fate hanging in the balance, actress Jane Cox has no intentions of walking away from the Dales.
On the flip side, Jeff Hordley, who brings Cain Dingle to life, voiced his concerns about job security when he chatted with The Sun, confessing, “I’m worried all the time! Not all the time, that’s a little bit over the top.”
He went on to say, “Every time there’s news of this it can unsettle us as a cast because we know the shelf life of characters is not forever in soaps and it’s down to the producers or the writers to steer the ship and take us in the direction they want to take us.”
