Emmerdale fans 'work out' another exit after Heath's death - and it's not Cathy

Emmerdale fans have rumbled a second soap exit following Heath Hope's death.

Heath - played by Sebastian Dowling - was killed when he was involved in a car collision on the way to a party in Hotten. Cathy had been driving the car when they left the village, but she has since said Angelica was driving at the time of the crash.

The car smashed into a stone wall, leaving both Cathy and Angelica injured - but it was Heath who ended up dying in tragic circumstances, as his father Bob Hope rushed to the crash site to be with his kids.

Now fans of the ITV soap are convinced they've worked out someone else will be leaving in just a few days or weeks - but don't think it'll be Cathy Hope, played by Sebastian's real-life twin Gabrielle Dowling.

With fans convinced Angelica was the one driving at the time, could this mean she'll end up in prison for dangerous driving, and will she be making an exit from the show? One fan wrote: "I think Cathy's telling the truth, Angelica just had a look about her," whilst a second added: "Angelica and Heath thought that Cathy was too slow, so I think that Angelica did take over. I didn't until I saw her reaction in the police station - guilty as sin #Emmerdale."

A third shared: "Definitely think it was Angelica driving when the car crashed #Emmerdale," with a fourth adding: "Tragic story line, made even more so by Angelica’s lies. Bod blames Cathy on this occasion she’s really innocent." A fifth suggested: "The seatbelt marks, airbags marks should show the driver, were they examined as in Angelica and Cathy? #Emmerdale."

Bob Hope actor Tony Audenshaw previously opened up to The Mirror about how the fall out from the death will affect his family.

"Certainly in the way he's parented he's going to question his relationship with his children. Has he got on better with Heath than he has with Cathy over the last few years? Is it payback time now for that?" he said.

"Because Heath, because he hasn't got PMDD I suppose, for one, has been an easier ride as a parent because he's had less trouble. He's just been a bit of a dream, really, just got on with things. His eyes have been towards Cathy a lot."
