Emmerdale spoilers: Angelica King arrested for causing death by dangerous driving
It follows Jimmy's attempts to keep the truth under wraps.
Angelica King (Rebecca Bakes) will be arrested for causing death by dangerous driving in next week's Emmerdale (22nd January 2024).
After Heath Hope's (Sebastian Dowling) funeral, Angel confessed to her mum Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) that she had been behind the wheel of the car at the time of the crash that claimed Heath's life.
In initial police interviews, Angel lied that Heath's twin sister Cathy (Gabrielle Dowling) was driving, and Cathy was unable to convince dad Bob (Tony Audenshaw) that she was telling the truth.
As the Kings come to terms with Angel's actions in upcoming scenes, Nicola urges husband Jimmy (Nick Miles) to discuss what's next for their family.
Meanwhile, the Hopes' focus shifts onto the police investigation, and Cathy lashes out when Bob suggests waiting for the forensic results.
