stunt

The first snippets of Emmerdale 2027 may have been teased or can at least be deciphered, with some wedding news, an exit on the way and a possible stunt in the New Year

Emmerdale could be set for a dramatic start to 2027, according to some teasers.

From quotes with producer Sophie Roper to scenes that have aired, we could be seeing the shaping of what the next year might look like in the Dales. A feud could be rumbling on for two warring relatives, while one couple has agreed to tie the knot, with a wedding date set for January.

There’s hints of a stunt on the cards too while nothing is concrete. What is confirmed is a huge Christmas on the show, which will pave the way for a big start to 2027.

Not only that, but we also know that, as it stands, Sadie King will be leaving around January to February time. Actress Patsy Kensit revealed she was only with the show for six months. Here’s what we know so far…

New Year stunt?

Speaking to Inside Soap Magazine recently, Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper teased we might be seeing a stunt very soon. She said: “We can always throw one into the mix.

“As we build over the next couple of months, we have some really high-octane stories in play and we know our viewers love a stunt. tick with us – there’ll be some exciting stuff at the end of this year, and into the start of 2027 as well.”

She repeated: “There’s a really exciting, brilliant end to the year, and afterwards, a phenomenal start to 2027.” Consider us very intrigued!

Wedding bells and Liam’s secret

A recent episode confirmed that Chas Dingle had booked her wedding date for 29th January 2027. Liam agreed to the date, with the pair set to wed in the New Year.

So if all goes to plan, there’s a wedding confirmed – but will it go without a hitch? After all, this talk of a possible stunt in early 2027 is no doubt going to spark worries that it could be at the wedding.

Then there’s the fact that Liam is clearly hiding something from Chas and others. We saw newcomer Dave leaving Liam rattled when he admitted he recognised him from his past.

When Liam realised Dave knew him, while Dave did not recognise Liam’s surname, he shut Dave down. Fans are wondering if Liam has a secret identity, secret family, or he’s hiding something about his past – so will this all come out at the wedding?

Sadie exit

Patsy revealed her role isn’t a full-time return to the Dales. She’s only there for six months, with her set to wrap up filming in December. She told the Mirror earlier this year: “I’m here for six months, so they’ve got me really busy!”

Whether a return could happen after this remains to be seen. But this obviously reveals that whatever she is up to currently, she won’t be here full-time. With her ending filming in December, that means Sadie might leave around January or February 2027.

Joe and Caleb feud

We spoke to Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw recently, who confirmed Joe Tate’s dark feud with his uncle Caleb Miligan would be ever present in 2027. She teased: “What I can say is off the back of the wedding, that chasm is going to open even wider between those two.

“It will be one of our kind of big stories, certainly through the rest of this year and into next year.” Of course Joe has paid Sadie King to split up Caleb and his wife Ruby, leading to Sadie seducing Caleb.

So will it be this plan and the affair possibly being exposed that sees these characters once again at war as we head into 2027? Or might something else happen?

Other things to be explored

Victoria Sugden is meant to be returning to the village, while as it stands, the character has told her family she has no plans to come back. So surely at some point we will see her change her mind and return home.

Similarly, Tracy Robinson has moved away, with actress Amy Walsh on maternity leave. Should Amy decide to return to the role, Tracy’s comeback could be set for 2027.

We still have no update on when Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle’s wedding will happen, so surely 2027 will be about that?
