Bosses at the ITV show are reportedly planning a huge shake-up, which will see multiple main characters killed off.

The storyline is set to run in the summer - and the cast are allegedly being kept in the dark as to who will be saying goodbye to Emmerdale for good.

A source told The Sun: “Bosses are planning a clear-out of characters. No one knows if they will be axed.”

Robert is currently the favourite to be killed off first – but will Aaron be joining him?

Similar to EastEnders' Lucy Beale Whodunnit, only those at the top know which characters will get the chop.

The insider added: “Only a few people at senior levels know what they are plotting until this trickles down to the cast and crew.

“There’s been lots of speculations. When you want a big ratings spike, killing off some big names is the way to go.”

The plane crash in 1993 saw four main characters killed off

Robert Sugden [Ryan Hawley] is the bookies current favourite to be killed off first.

Chas and Debbie Dingle are also highly tipped to be making a grizzly exit.

The big summer storyline will apparently be reminiscent of the Emmerdale Plane Crash in 1993, which killed off four main characters and pulled in a huge 18 million viewers.
