Emmerdale teases five flashforwards as Ruby's world implodes and night out turns into disaster

Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw commented: "The flashforwards will tease several storylines that will reveal a sneak peak of what's to come across 2025.

"As our villagers toast the New Year, a glimpse into each of their futures will be revealed. As the fate of those depicted hangs in the balance, the only thing for certain is it's going to be an explosive year in Emmerdale."
