Will Ash has cemented himself as an Emmerdale favourite since his arrival in the Dales.
Caleb Miligan will play a huge part in the limo lake stunt tonight when one limousine crashes in the woods and the other ends up on an icy lake. When Mack isn’t keen to drive the boys’ limo, Caleb steps in and decides to drive the vehicle.
However, he is still reeling from learning the truth about what happened between his wife Ruby Fox-Miligan and his brother Cain Dingle. As things reach a head tonight, two limos will crash in separate accidents – but who will survive?
We are yet to find out which limo crashes on the ice and which crashes in the forest – but could Will’s revelation about the filming of the ITV stunt hint at which limo ends up where – and thus who ends up dying.

Speaking exclusively to us, Will said: “This incredible icy lake was made out of wax. It was a cold frosty night and you’ve got this huge limousine sunk into it. When you’re walking on the wax, it felt like ice and you worried you were going to fall in.
“Everyone was walking so carefully. They had this huge crane because they had to lower the limo into this hole they had made because it wasn’t allowed to sit in the wax. It was pretty spectacular!”
The episode’s director Vicky Thomas has revealed more about the huge stunt, with multiple lives on the line.
“We used three limousines for this shoot. We had one for the girls, one for the boys and then we had a spare one, which was the one that actually got put on the lake. So that is the one that remains there throughout – we never drove that one anywhere because to make it all work, we had to take the engine out,” she explained of the huge scenes.
“And we had drilled holes in the bottom of the vehicle so that the water would fill it quickly to go down. For the first week on the ice we filmed with it in a kind of nose down position and then the second week it got attached to an enormous, and I mean enormous, huge, tall crane. The limo dangled from it like a puppet, floating just above the ice, and then bit by bit it would eventually drop into this enormous pit that had been dug below,”
Asked for just three words to describe the episode, she simply said: “Tense. Heart-wrenching. Life-affirming.” Whatever happens, we know some people aren’t getting out of this alive.
