There’s horror in the village as two youngsters are rushed to A&E after a collapse behind the wheel in Emmerdale.
Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) is desperate to look her best at her engagement do and her quest for the perfect bod will put both her and Sarah Sugden’s (Katie Hill) lives in danger.
Gabby’s car isn’t working so kind-hearted fiancé Vinny (Bradley Johnson) takes it for fixing at the garage while Gabby is busy prepping for their upcoming engagement shindig – she’s on a crash diet to fit in a dress she accidentally ordered in the wrong size.
By crash diet this means Gabby is eating absolutely nothing and drinking buckets of coffee in the hopes of flushing out her system and dropping that dress size.
‘She’s drinking a hell of a lot of coffee as per Bradley Riches’ character, Lewis, he recommends coffee to kind of get things moving,’ actress Rosie Bentham tells Metro.
‘So she’s drinking a hell of a lot of coffee, doing lots and lots of exercise. Filling her time with that and neglecting any mothering duties she’s got and just putting exercise to the front of her mind.’
It’s a dangerous game that will come back to bite her – and Sarah.
When she learns her car still isn’t ready because Kammy hasn’t bothered to fix it, the hanger hits. Having necked her coffee, she sets about getting the car fixed herself.
Sarah offers to take her for a diagnostic drive, not realising she’s putting her life in an increasingly weakening Gabby’s hands.
While on their drive Gabby’s crash diet suddenly catches up with her and she passes out behind the wheel. Terror sets in as Sarah – still delicate from her surgery – is forced to dive across and grab the wheel to save their lives. She manages to bring the car to a stop, but at the expense of her own health.
‘Thankfully there’s no crash,’ Rosie reveals, ‘but Sarah really injures herself so that creates a lot more complications for her.’
Having only just had a hysterectomy, this action makes Sarah seriously ill. Both are in a bad way and taken straight to A&E. Will the both of them pull through?
