Emmerdale fans have pointed out a way to prove who was driving the night of the joyriding death tragedy as Cathy Hope and Angelica King both blame each other.
The ITV soap was full of heartbreak on New Year's Day as teenager Heath Hope died after joyriding a car with his twin sister Cathy and Angelica. In Friday's episode, the teenagers had been desperate to go to a New Year's Eve party out of the village but couldn't get a lift and their dad Bob Hope refused to pay for a taxi.
The trio were left bored at the B&B's party to which they decided to take matters into their own hands, stealing Wendy's car to joyride to the party. Cathy was driving the car as she took the backroads so they wouldn't be caught but Heath and Angelica complained it was taking too long, encouraging Cathy to speed up, who had already had a near-crash minutes before.
