Viewers were taken aback when the mystery of who ‘murdered’ evil rapist Craig was answered – with Ice the horse unmasked as the culprit.
We’re still recovering from this somewhat bizarre turn of events, but Kim Tate (Claire King), who left Craig to die along with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), has been keen to put events behind her.
Good luck, though, cos this is a soap and the show’s boss Laura Shaw has confirmed to Metro.co.uk that the truth is about to explode.
But how will Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) react when she learns what her boss and friend did?
‘Lydia is still struggling after her horrific ordeal at the hands of Craig and we’ll see that continue forward,’ Laura shared.
‘Lydia and Sam will find out what happened that night – that will all come out. How is Lydia going to cope with that news? How will Sam cope with that news?
‘It’s going to really test Lydia and Kim’s friendship which I know we all absolutely love. We’ll see in the new year if they can get their friendship back on track.
‘Similarly for Sam and Lydia – are they ever going to get through this? Hopefully the new year’s going to bring some new hope for them.’
They certainly deserve it!
While Cain also played a key part in Craig’s fate, he is very much occupied elsewhere across the coming months, leading to an almighty clash with a close relative.
Since Aaron (Danny Miller) returned, he has been bitter and angry with the world, picking conflict and causing chaos in his wake.
It will lead to an explosive showdown with Cain, which will send shockwaves through the Dingle family.

‘Aaron and Cain are not getting on very well at all at the moment, I think it’s safe to say,’ smiled Laura.
‘We’ll see some tensions building there between those two, leading to a really brutal physical fight between Cain and Aaron in the new year.
‘Which one of those is going to come out on top? Who’s going to win the fight? We’ll have to wait and see if both of them come out still standing.’
