Emmerdale are set to release a week of episodes similar to Graham Foster’s “death”, before revealing which villager killed Ray Walters.

This explosive week of episodes rewinds the clock to the moment of Ray’s murder, offering different perspectives on the dramatic events that led to his death.

Each day focuses on a different suspect, peeling back the different details of their fortnight-long ordeal and exposing their darkest secrets, murderous intent regarding the shocking chain of events that culminated in a life-or-death confrontation.

As viewers will recall, Joe Absolom’s character Ray Walters was seen zipped up in a body bag and being dragged by an unidentified villager. His death comes as his and Celia’s modern slavery operation was exposed, as well as them grooming teenagers April and Dylan into doing their dirty work for them.

Here’s what you can expect in a “who dunnit” style as Ray’s killer is finally revealed in an explosive episode…

Monday January 19 – Laurel

As we see the suspects in Ray’s murder, the focus turns to Laurel. Immediately following Celia’s murder, Ray stands over his mother’s dead body, before he collects himself, grabs his distinctive red bag and heads for the door. Meanwhile Laurel is left reeling by the truth about Ray and rushes home, refusing to listen to the man she once loved and the monster he has been revealed to be, when he arrives at Mulberry.

After refusing to listen to his pleas, Ray bursts back into Mulberry, begging Laurel to believe his traumatic past. But when Laurel refuses to accept his narrative of victimhood, Ray is left begging for his freedom.

Laurel’s decision to let him walk away has deadly consequences, especially when a furious Arthur resolves to make Ray pay for his mother’s pain. Urged by Nicola to lure Ray into a trap, Laurel must decide if she’s prepared to risk everything to ensure justice is finally served.
