Earlier this week Emmerdale spoilers revealed there will be a fire at the Sharmas’ factory and someone will lose their life.
We already know the blaze is accidentally started by Amy and Kerry Wyatt, but viewers have spotted the likely direction the plot will take.
Last night’s outing to the Dales (July 23) saw factory boss Rishi Sharma confess to his family they were in mountains of debt.

Rishi made the confession that they were on the verge of going bankrupt to son Jai Sharma and daughter Priya Kotecha.
Owning up to their money troubles he said: “The suppliers won’t deliver anything else until they’re paid in full.
“I was trying to juggle what we owed.”
Rishi then revealed he’d used their money to pay off his new wife Manpreet’s debts, after her spending addiction spiralled out of control.
Jai was furious insisting there was no way of them finding £100k in two days, but Rishi was determined he would sort it out.
“I’m not giving up until it is truly beyond saving,” he said.
Words that will surely come back to haunt him.
He was later seen approaching Kim Tate for a loan, but the terms of the deal aren’t exactly what Rishi was expecting.
The businessman is confident that with his years of experience, he’ll be able to negotiate a better agreement – but that just proves he’s never done business with Kim Tate before!

Will Rishi live to regret his actions when the fire breaks out?
The fire is inadvertantly started by Kerry and Amy after they break into the factory to steal the fundraiser takings and damage the CCTV, causing sparks to fly.
Will broke Rishi be blamed for the missing charity cash too?
And with Tracy trapped in the factory, will there be a death on the consciences of the villagers on top of everything else?
Emmerdale is on Monday to Friday at 7pm, with an extra episode on Thursday at 8ppm on ITV.
