Emmerdale viewers will be excited to see what Friday’s instalment offers after Thursday’s cliffhanger. Only recently, the hit ITV soap was full of heartbreak on New Year’s Day as teenager Heath died after joyriding in a car with his twin sister Cathy and Angelica King. 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 so decided to take matters into their own hands, stealing Wendy’s car to joyride to the party. Since the crash, both Cathy and Angelica have claimed the other person was driving with the village left torn over who to believe, especially Bob who refused to see Cathy in order to protect her from himself.
Last month, it was the day of Heath’s funeral, and a guilty Angelica finally decided to tell the truth. Angelica confessed to her gobsmacked mother, Nicola, that she was the one driving the car when Heath died and she later confessed at the police station, where she was arrested for causing death by dangerous driving.
This week, protective parents Nicola and Jimmy have been preparing for Angelica’s court hearing. On Thursday night, Nicola and Jimmy learnt that the charges against Cathy had been dropped on their way to court. However, the same couldn’t be said for Angelica as her charges were not dropped and after pleading guilty she faces a custodial sentence, where she could be detained for at least a few years. Will Angelica learn her sentence on Friday night?
