Emmerdale's Harriet Finch risks arousing suspicion tonight (December 17) as a dark plan is carried out to move DI Malone's body.
Harriet (Katherine Dow Blyton) is currently living in fear of a prison sentence after plans were made to dig up the grave where Malone is secretly buried.
Earlier this year, Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) killed Malone in self-defence during a terrifying showdown at Woodbine Cottage.
Dawn and Harriet then hid his body in the local graveyard, sneaking him into another man's grave. However, the other man's remains are now being exhumed, meaning that it's only a matter of time before Malone's hiding place is found.

Thursday night's double bill sees Harriet and her ex-partner Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) put their unsettling new plan into action.
Will has found a remote spot on Home Farm grounds and believes it'd be a perfect place to hide Malone.
In this evening's scenes, Will gets to work on digging the new grave. With the Home Farm grounds so big and much of the land currently unused, he's confident that nobody will be along to disturb him.

Meanwhile, Harriet has church duties to concentrate on back in the village. She's due to lead a number of the parishioners as they go door-to-door singing Christmas carols and collecting money for charity.
Harriet is visibly distracted on what should be a joyful day, which risks the possibility of her secret being uncovered as her friends become confused and concerned.
Is it only a matter of time before the villagers realise Harriet has something big on her mind?
Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.
