ITV viewers 'expect' big twist in Emmerdale this Christmas | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Emmerdale fans have been speculating about a possible twist in the Christmas series months before the Christmas episode airs. Rose Jackson's recent disappearance from the ITV soap has left viewers wondering about her fate and whereabouts.

However, some believe they have discovered whether she is alive and whether she will return. One popular theory is that Rose is preparing for a dramatic Christmas confrontation with Kim Tate and Will Taylor, who had tried to get rid of her before her disappearance.

The truth about what happened to Rose and who was involved has not yet come to light on the soap opera, but there are clues that someone was driving a certain vehicle.

Before Rose disappeared, she was exposed by Kim and Will for working with Ruby Milligan to bring down Kim. Kim didn't know that Will had slept with her, although she suspected the two had been intimate.

Kim and Will dropped Rose off in a remote location and left her some money before driving away. Later, an unknown person drove up to her, but it remains unclear who it was or what happened after that, reports the Mirror.

Rose's purse and belongings were scattered on the floor and there was no sign of her, leading to theories that she may have been murdered.

However, fans now suspect that she may still be alive and planning a shocking return to expose the unfaithful Will.

Fans of “Emmerdale” are on tenterhooks because a new theory is circulating on the Internet that suggests a main character is planning a dramatic return for Christmas.

Speculation points to an explosive confrontation between Kim and Will that could potentially throw the Christmas season into chaos.

The fan theory is: “I bet she'll come out of hiding around Christmas, just in time to ruin Kim's Christmas.”

Given the turbulent Christmas episodes of Emmerdale, viewers could be in for another wild ride full of revelations and turmoil.

As the current storyline progresses, suspicions grow as to who might be targeting Rose, leading to a blame game between Will and Kim. Some eagle-eyed viewers point the finger at Ruby, while others suspect that the drug dealer Rose came into contact with could be the real culprit.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with a one-hour episode on Thursdays
