Well, we did not see this coming. Safe to say, nobody did, as Emmerdale has just pulled off one of its most surprising twists yet with the shock death of Holly Barton from a drug overdose.
After spending the night with Jai taking drugs, he left in the morning not realising Holly wasn't breathing. It was her mum Moira that discovered her later in what made for absolutely heartbreaking scenes.

While many were impressed that a soap actually managed to keep a plot line secret...

I think @emmerdale are the only soap that can actually keep a storyline a secret. #Holly #emmerdale pic.twitter.com/tiGcEuQmWo
