Emmerdale is set for "unmissable" episodes next week as evil rapist Craig Reed is found dead, which launches a Dingle whodunnit in explosive scenes.

In a special week of betrayal and secrets, the Dingle family take centre stage at a lock-in in the Woolpack as Lydia Dingle questions her family's whereabouts on the night of Craig's death. Soap watchers will recall that earlier this month, Lydia bravely told husband Sam Dingle and her family that she was raped by Craig at work with the Dingles rallying around her in support.

And in the upcoming episodes, through a series of flashbacks, the truth begins to emerge, revealing a tangled web of events leading up to Craig's demise. As the layers of deception are peeled away, the truth will be revealed to the audience in a week where the only certainty is that nothing is as it seems.

Emmerdale producer, Laura Shaw, said of the explosive storyline: "In an unmissable special week for Emmerdale, we focus on Soaps most loved family, the Dingles, as Lydia attempts to find out who killed Craig. Expertly and innovatively directed by Gary Williams, the infamous Woolpack becomes centre stage for the group of Dingles gathered to reveal their alibis… or no alibi as the case may be!

"Stepping out of the usual Emmerdale style, a series of flashbacks will let the viewers in on the lies each person has told and the secrets they are hiding. The week will truly keep everyone on the edge of their seats with each day more and more explosive secrets revealed that promise to have huge repercussions, shatter lives and cause fireworks in the Dingles bigger than ever seen before."
