It seems like all the soaps recently have been plagued by one person in particular who's gone around slaughtering innocent residents - we're looking at you, Pat Phelan. For Emmerdale, it's of course Lachlan White - the murderous teen who's killed two (potentially three) of his own family members AND one of his best pals in the past year alone.
And after taking his aunt Rebecca White hostage and chaining her up in some horrid cottage, it seemed as though he'd done her in as well - that is, until one of the show bosses dropped something of a clanger and revealed she might not be dead after all.
But according to soap spoilers (who doesn't love a good spoiler, eh?), Lachlan is FINALLY going to get his comeuppance.
After escaping a suspicious Priya Sharma, who shopped him to the police after becoming convinced he was a murderer (well, she's not wrong is she?!), Lachlan may have thought he was in the clear.
