Emmerdale's Amelia to be trapped in dramatic labour scenes

Emmerdale teen Amelia Spencer is left trapped and alone after going into labour during next week's storm episodes.

The ITV soap is marking its 50th anniversary with a huge stunt storyline, as a deadly windstorm hits the village and leaves lives hanging in the balance.

Before the storm hits the village, an oblivious Amelia prepares for a picnic date with her boyfriend Noah Dingle.

Amelia makes her way across the countryside, just as the wind is starting to pick up.

What to Read Next

Amelia soon becomes alarmed by the force of the wind as she's blown around. Her contractions start and she frantically calls her father Dan Spencer to come and help her.

Dan panics upon receiving the call, but Amelia's phone dies before she can share her exact location.

Aware that help won't be coming anytime soon, Amelia heads off to find shelter in a nearby barn.

Fortunately, help is at hand as local policewoman Harriet Finch jumps on board a quad bike and rushes off to find Amelia.

Lydia Dingle also plays a role in the story, arriving at Home Farm and interrupting Kim Tate's wedding reception to break the news.

As Lydia announces that Amelia is missing and more villagers are required for the search, Kim steps up by riding into the countryside on her horse.

Kim struggles through the dangerous conditions, following the tyre tracks from Harriet's quad bike. Will either of them find Amelia?

Daisy Campbell, who plays Amelia, explained: "The weather isn't looking good at all. Amelia panics for a bit as she doesn't really know what is going on. And by now she's having quite regular contractions.

"Amelia knows deep down she's made a mistake coming out here on her own with the weather turning for the worst."

She continued: "Amelia ends up in a barn in the middle of nowhere, as it's the only place she can find to shelter. She's really worried at this point as she's only 16 and is stuck in a raging storm in the middle of nowhere and has no-one to help her out.

"She also can't get in touch with anyone as all phone signals have been totally cut off due to the storm. I think at this stage her anxiety is through the roof!"

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