There’s huge drama heading for the Sharma family in next week’s Emmerdale when someone suddenly dies, changing their lives forever…

Life has been tough for the Sharmas over the last few months, and now they’re having to rebuild their lives following the factory fire that destroyed their family business.

Rishi is terrified that his chocolates have killed Derek and, despite Jai’s assurances that he isn’t to blame, things take another turn for the worst when environmental health get in touch.

As they struggle to get their heads around what has happened, the family are left stunned when they discover who it was that reported them… but who would do such a thing?

However, Jai isn’t going to let his family take the blame for this alone, and he points the finger of suspicion at the Dingles, claiming their eggs are to blame for what has happened.

As Rishi starts to fear that he has just made things a hundred times worse for his family instead of making a fresh start, Manpreet starts to search through Derek’s belongings and is shocked when she finds a stamp collection.

Realising that she might have stumbled across something worth a fortune, Manpreet looks up online how much the stamp album might be worth.

Could this be the answer to all of the Sharmas’ financial problems?

And will Manpreet keep the album even though she knows it isn’t rightfully hers?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
