Is Samson Dingle dead? Emmerdale airs mysterious twist
Just when you thought the storm drama had ended...
Although the storm may have ceased on Emmerdale, the drama hasn't stopped - and now the village must come to terms with what's happened over the past few days.
But in Thursday 20th October's episode, it looks as though the ITV soap may have one more twist up its sleeve, as Samson Dingle (played by Sam Hall) was shown to be missing.
And on Friday 21st October's episode, it looked to be bad news for Samson as his lifeless body was revealed.
Read on to discover what happened to Samson and whether he's dead or alive!
What happened to Samson Dingle in Emmerdale?
The episode focused around Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell), who went into a premature labour on account of the storm.
Her baby's real father, Samson (Sam Hall) wanted nothing to do with them to the point it caused friction between him and his parents who were ashamed of his behaviour.

The last we saw of Samson was during Sunday's hour-long anniversary special when he had an argument with his dad Sam (James Hooton), causing the former to storm off.
Since then, Sam's life has been left on the line following a gruesome accident which saw him impaled on a digger's spike.
Although Sam seems like he will pull through, he isn't out of the woods just yet - but the Dingles' problems are about to go from bad to worse, it seems.
Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and Zak (Steve Halliwell) wondered where Samson had gone - he wasn't at home and he wasn't at the hospital either, so where was he?
The camera panned across a field to reveal Samson's phone completely smashed in and the boy nowhere to be seen.
The following day's episode saw the search continue as the tight-knit Dingle family took to the countryside to look for their boy.
A group happened upon his phone, and immediately Lydia thought the worst - hard not to when the extent of the Storm Week damage is taken into consideration.
The camera panned down an incline underneath where his phone was discovered to reveal a seemingly lifeless Samson was hidden under a pile of leaves.
