Lisa Riley shocked after reading new death plot as she brands it 'Emmerdale does Titanic'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Emmerdale has repeatedly grabbed headlines with dramatic events, such as the catastrophic storm of 2004 and an even more devastating one in 2024, the 2013 Woolpack siege, the terrifying helicopter crash in 2015, plus the notorious plane disaster in 1993.

Following its victory for best soap at this week's TV Choice Awards, Emmerdale is preparing to broadcast a stunt described by star Lisa Riley as "Emmerdale does Titanic".This Friday, a heart-stopping episode will air featuring seven prominent characters, including Lisa's Mandy Dingle, entangled in a catastrophic accident that sends their limousines spiralling out of control—one plummeting into a frozen lake.Beneath the ice, the harrowing battle for survival unfolds, and not all will emerge unscathed; the recent promo chillingly teases at least one character succumbing to the icy depths, the Mirror reports.Filming this stunt was no simple feat, as demonstrated by exclusive behind-the-scenes photos—it demanded two weeks of night shoots, the efforts of 90 crew members, specialist divers, and medics, an entire overflow carpark repurposed, the use of liquid wax, and copious amounts of soup to stave off the cold for the cast.

In an exclusive chat with the Mirror, 48-year-old Lisa remarked: "One thing we are brilliant at Emmerdale is our stunts and we are really proud of this one.

It's the biggest one I've been involved in – even bigger than the storm for our 50th birthday!"This is big. It's a huge white-knuckle ride.
