Emmerdale 2024 'sealed' - Tom King twist, affair rumbled and sad death news

Emmerdale has had quite the 2023, but there could be just as much drama in the new year.

As 2024 hits the village, we're expecting huge plot twists and massive storylines as the soap takes on rivals Coronation Street and EastEnders. In the past 12 months in the Dales we've had shocking deaths, sudden exits and big identity reveals.

We've had plenty of bombshells, affairs, massive stunts and all sorts of curveballs. So what will the next year have to offer, and what can we expect to see from our favourite villagers?

Amid hints of characters clashing, some spiralling and possible new plots for characters, there's also talk of tragedy ahead. Here we take a look at the possible storylines hitting our screens across the next 12 months...

Zak Dingle death

In December it was sadly revealed that Zak Dingle actor Steve Halliwell had passed away, leaving the cast "devastated". Steve passed away at home while surrounded by his family at the age of 77 and after 29 years of service on the ITV show.

Being such an icon in soap land, the show will no doubt want to pay the best tribute they can to the late actor, and the character he played for so long. Zak is currently in Scotland with his granddaughter Debbie Dingle, so the soap may air news of Zak's sad death in 2024, and possibly funeral scenes like they have done for soap icons in the past.

Abuse horror?

Viewers have long been predicting a sad abuse storyline for Belle Dingle and her partner Tom King. Just months ago we saw Tom lose his temper with her, shoving her over and causing her to hit her head.

Belle covered for Tom and the pair have moved forward since, even getting engaged. But fans believe his recent behaviour and anger issues will worsen ahead of their wedding, and that he may hurt Belle again in a heartbreaking plot.

Affair exposed

With the arrival of Caleb Miligan's ex or not ex wife Ruby Fox-Milligan coming in 2024, could we expect a bombshell to destroy the Dingles? Fans know that Caleb is currently having a fling with Tracy Metcalfe, the wife of his nephew Nate Robinson.

With Ruby heading to the show, it could be the case that Tracy and Caleb are going to be rumbled. It's been teased Ruby and Caleb are in fact still an item, but what exactly is the truth? Expect fireworks!

New romance

Amid Chas Dingle and Liam Cavanagh possibly embarking on a romance, recent scenes may have given away another pair could get together. It was teased to The Mirror in recent months that Bear could find love on the soap, and recently he and Claudette got talking.

It seems Bear has a thing for Claudette, while she is still grieving the loss of her husband. But could the pair make a go of things in 2024, and be the next soap couple?

Charity spirals

Viewers saw Charity Dingle turn accidental killer on Christmas Day as she shot dead villain Damon Harris, trying to save Mackenzie Boyd from his abduction ordeal. Since the death of Damon AKA Harry, Charity has been struggling and this is set to continue.

Could we expect turmoil a plenty from the character as she struggles to process recent events? Will she end up spiralling like she has done in the past?

Returns, baby news and wedding twists

A new year in Emmerdale has to mean new twists and turns. There has to be at least one baby arriving in the village, even though we've seen two welcomed fairly recently.

There's also weddings, with both Belle and Tom and Amy and Matty engaged. Might there be a double wedding, and can we expect at least one of them to air this year?

Then there's the comebacks. With Zak's exit yet to air, might we see some past faces from the show returning to say goodbye? Kerry Wyatt and Vanessa Woodfield are also due to return soon, so could 2024 see them come back to the show?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.* Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on , , , , and .
