Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale's Harriet Finch and Will Taylor hatch a risky plan to move DI Malone's body later this month.
Harriet (Katherine Dow Blyton) and Will (Dean Andrews) realise that drastic action is needed after news that Malone's burial spot will soon be disturbed.
Earlier this year, Harriet and Dawn Taylor teamed up by burying Malone's body in an already-occupied grave in the church's cemetery.
As we've already revealed, this plan backfires in upcoming episodes when the daughter of the other man in the grave makes plans to have his body exhumed.
