Sarah is dead in flashforward that saw Cain crying over a grave, new fan theory predicts

Anew fan theory suggests Sarah Sugden could be at risk in Emmerdale. As the

clock hit midnight on New Year’s Eve in the village, we were treated to a number

of flashforwards that will take place this year. And more than one of them hinted at an Emmerdale death.

In one of the scenes, Cain was standing over a fresh grave crying, visibly heartbroken at losing whoever was buried there.

But while we literally have no idea about the who, what, when and how, all we can do is hope that our favourites are safe. As it looks like anybody could be taken away from us.

Could Sarah die in Emmerdale?

Right now all we have to go on is our own theories. And one of them suggests Sarah Sugden is the Emmerdale death.

Sarah has a heart condition which has taken centre stage in the show on numerous occasions. But when she got a transplant, she faded from the storylines.

Now, she’s back in the show quite frequently, and this alone was enough to get viewers suspicious of the show’s intentions.

Quite spontaneously Sarah also began having feelings for Jacob, and while it’s not been smooth sailing, the pair do evidently like each other.

Then in last night’s episode (January 2), during Jacob’s first day on A&E placement, Charity rushed Sarah into the hospital as she collapsed due to excessive drinking. Which wasn’t the smartest decision considering her health issues.

One fan shared their theory that Sarah could die on X (formerly Twitter).

They wrote: “I still think Sarah could be the one in the grave that Cain is crying beside in the flashforward. It’s so random that she has not been on the scene for ages. Then all of a sudden she is there and drinking to block out her pain.”

If Sarah keeps drinking to try and get rid of her feelings, then she could end up causing damage to herself and risks her heart condition getting worse again.

If Sarah was the Emmerdale death then this would have huge ramifications for quite a lot of people in the village. And it would make complete sense as to why Cain looked so distraught in the flashforward.

Emmerdale death theories

While some may think Emmerdale wouldn’t kill a younger character, it was only one year ago they did exactly that to Heath Hope. And since then, the younger cast members have been stealing the spotlight.

If making an impact is what Emmerdale is going for, then killing off a character from the show’s most popular family is certainly a way to do just that.

However, right now it’s just speculation. Other names that fans are considering include Moira because of her current brain tumour story. And some are holding onto the theory that Nate was murdered and his body is hidden somewhere – so could it be him?

We just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
