CRAIG Reed meets a horrific demise next week, as predicted by many soap viewers.

But when Emmerdale favourite Lydia Dingle tries to figure out what happened, her search leads her to Charity and Chas Dingle.



ITV viewers suspected Sam Dingle (played by James Hooton) would be taking action after finding out his beloved wife Lydia (Karen Blick) was raped by Craig Reed (Ben Addis).

Lydia and Craig share a heavy history together and rekindled a bond upon his initial arrival in the eponymous village.

However, after some friendly moments, it became clear Craig was wanting more from a married Lydia.

Caught up in the chemistry, Lydia knew it was time she needed to let Craig down gently after they nearly kissed.

But in heart-breaking scenes, Craig didn't take "no" for an answer and raped Lydia, leaving her a shell of her former self.

In scenes airing next week, things take a murderous turn when Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) finds Craig's lifeless and bloodied body on the Home Farm estate, where Lydia works.

For the cleaner, it becomes clear that this was not the work of a new killer in the Dales but one of her loved ones' attempt at avenging her.

In the Woolpack, she gathers up the Dingles to get the answers she seeks and everyone is shocked when Lydia announces that Craig is dead.

The Dingles start to ponder what could have happened to Craig, but, as mentioned above, Lydia is steadfast and sure one of them is responsible for his death.

In the knowledge Sam and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) had Craig tied up in a remote barn, Lydia begins her investigation by focusing on their whereabouts.

After listening to their story, given to viewers through a series of flashbacks, Lydia’s search to find out who killed Craig is underway.

After interrogating Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), Lydia shifts her focus onto the next suspect, the recently returned Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), whose cold and inconsiderate behaviour has thrown his own family off.

Aaron fights back when the Dingles press him for his alibi and Charity (Emma Atkins) is uneasy when he shifts the focus on to her instead.

Flashing back to the previous day, Chas (Lucy Pargeter) and Charity discuss the Craig situation.

However, the conversation soon shifts to another matter as Charity isn’t being honest about her conversation.

Chas and Charity are having issues of their own with the former struggling to move on after her split from Paddy Dingle.

The Woolpack landlady, on the other hand, was recently involved in a horrific car crash with former husband Mackenzie Boyd and his current fiancée Chloe Harris.

Chloe's life was hanging in the balance for several days but she eventually woke up from her coma and was released from the hospital with fans of the Yorkshire-based drama convinced she could be taking her revenge.
