Emmerdale is lining up plenty of drama this autumn in the ITV soap, not forgetting its annual stunt week in October.

So far this year we have seen heartbreaking deaths and unexpected exits, as well as some big returns to the village. It's been a far from quiet time on the show too with DNA bombshells, kidnappings, brutal attacks and lies exposed.

A few residents were hiding their secret identities only for it all to come out, resulting in revenge and family feuds. Looking towards autumn and the end of 2023, it could be just as dramatic with death, destruction and heartache teased. Here's the possible storylines hitting screens in the coming months...

Emmerdale autumn spoilers tease huge moments for the rest of 2023 (ITV)

Dingles in peril

In upcoming scenes the Dingles may find themselves in jeopardy following the arrival of a new villain. Newcomer Harry is set to lead Nate Robinson down a dark path in the coming weeks, leading to him turning to his family for help. But Harry is not someone to be messed with, so could some of our village favourites face grave danger ahead of the looming stunt week?

Love triangle

Upcoming scenes will see Mackenzie torn between ex-wife Charity and new flame Chloe Harris (ITV)

Upcoming scenes will see Mackenzie torn between ex-wife Charity and new flame Chloe Harris, the mother of his baby son Reuben. Mack was dumped by Charity earlier this year after she found out he had slept with Chloe and got her pregnant, and recently Mack decided to give things a go with his former fling.

But he sleeps with Charity again behind Chloe's back in upcoming scenes, and it might not be a one-off. Bosses teased a love triangle could be on the cards for them towards the end of the year, with it also teased that a storyline for Charity would run into 2024. It's also been teased that Charity and Mack both feature heavily in the upcoming stunt week so it seems a triangle is well and truly underway.

Caleb and Cain truce?

A long-running plot line this year has been Cain Dingle's feud with his long-lost brother Caleb Miligan

A long-running plot line this year has been Cain Dingle's feud with his long-lost brother Caleb Miligan. Despite some relatives moving past the recent drama, Cain has refused to forgive his sibling for his lies - and the fact he sent Cain and Moira's farm business into financial ruin.

The feud has sparked tension between other members of the family in the village, but how much longer will it go on for? With the anniversary of their mother Faith Dingle's death fast approaching, might the brothers finally unite and put the past behind them? Or might they be forced further apart?

Amelia struggles after Dan's exit

Teen mum Amelia Spencer will have to face life in the village without her father

Teen mum Amelia Spencer will have to face life in the village without her father for a while, as Dan Spencer heads to prison after being charged with manslaughter over Lloyd's death. Amelia's stalker Lloyd goaded Dan, telling him he was going to be sticking around after harassing Amelia.

Dan snapped and punched Lloyd, causing him to fall and hit his head and resulting in serious brain injuries. With Dan now out of the village, teen Amelia is left to bring up her baby daughter Esther without her family around her. While she has partner Noah Dingle and close friends in the village, it remains to be seen how she will cope.

Character returns

Kerry Wyatt could return (ITV)

Bob Hope's daughter Cathy Hope recently fled the village after an ongoing health battle. She decided to stay with her brother Scott Windsor while it wasn't confirmed that this was a permanent exit for the teen. Might we see her back in the near-future?

Then there's Kerry Wyatt and Vanessa Woodfield who both left the village last year. In real life, actresses Laura Norton and Michelle Hardwick both went on maternity leave, with it hinted they will both be back at some point this year - while their return dates are not confirmed. So might we see some familiar faces back in the village this autumn?

Stunt week

Something that is confirmed, while details remain under wraps, is the ITV soap's annual stunt week. Some cast members have been teasing what is ahead this year, but nothing will be confirmed until closer to transmission - which is normally mid October time.

Last year a huge storm hit the Dales and claimed the lives of two characters, while the year before viewers saw a horror maze fire and a water tragedy, which led to killer Meena Jutla murdering Andrea Tate. But what will happen this time around? Earlier this year, Emmerdale's Executive Producer Jane Hudson said what they had planned was "brilliant", while Charity actress Emma Atkins confirmed she would be involved.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
