Emmerdale has offered a new look at a special week of episodes for Noah, Gabby and Cain.

The week of May 9 will use flashforwards to give viewers a topsy turvy storyline that interweaves multiple characters all dealing with high-pressure situations. Three new photos preview these episodes.

Viewers will begin the week with a montage of disorienting sounds and images previewing what's ahead – an open grave surrounded by mist, the sound of a gunshot in the woods, an iron police cell door and a mangled car in the wake of a crash.

Then, the soap moves back in time to show the events leading up to these horrific scenes. At the heart of it is the war brewing between Cain Dingle and Al Chapman, which has only escalated since Cain meddled in Al's love life.

Noah Dingle has dark intentions of his own as his obsession intensifies with Chloe Harris, using tracking apps and drones to follow her every move without Chloe having any idea. Once Noah's stalking is exposed, all hell could break loose…

Gabby Thomas remains haunted by the news that her former flame Jamie Tate is very much alive – and could pose a challenge to the custody of their child at any time.

Convinced Jamie could be coming back for revenge, Gabby has a terrifying encounter in the night that could spiral into complete chaos.

Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw recently offered hints on how the flashforwards will play out: "When we get into the big week, on Monday we will start with a flashforward and you'll be absolutely screaming at your TV to find out what on Earth is going on.

"I think I actually squealed with excitement when I saw it for the first time. And then we will reveal a little bit more each day, Monday to Thursday with the flashforward, with everything obviously being fully revealed by the end of the week."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
