Emmerdale will see the Billy Fletcher and Max storyline escalate, with somebody getting shot.

In scenes airing next week, Billy (Jay Kontzle) is forced into doing another criminal job for Max (Jordan Reece), this time robbing a van with another guy called Woody. But Billy tips the police off, stopping the three of them from carrying out the robbery.

Unfortunately for Billy, he is told by DS Sanders that Max might know the truth.

Indeed, Max ends up having Jessie Dingle (Sandra Marvin), Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock), and April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) at gunpoint and orders Jessie to give Billy a ring.
