Bumbling and yet lovable fool Jimmy King (Nick Miles) is currently unconscious after crashing into Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) and Dawn Taylor’s (Olivia Bromley) wedding marquee in Emmerdale.

Jimmy and Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) have been facing some marriage challenges recently. While Jimmy has been secretly trying to deal with some money concerns, Nicola has been worrying that their dynamic and connection that has survived so many challenges was changing.

Signs that they were thankfully reconnecting after a difficult few weeks appeared in today’s episode, when Jimmy told Nicola to meet him at their special place on the grounds of Home Farm for a surprise.

Sadly, in a classic soap twist, the happiness looks set to get snatched away from the couple.

Here’s everything you need to know about Jimmy King’s fate.

News was shared earlier this year that Nick Miles is leaving his role as Jimmy King after 22 years.

After Jimmy left the house to prepare his surprise for Nicola, we saw Joe and Dawn at the venue. Dawn had changed her mind about leaving Joe for Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle), and was in the marquee begging Joe for another chance.

Just as Dawn asked Joe if he will still marry her, Jimmy crashed his car into them.

While we don’t have any official confirmation that Jimmy will die this week, reports have heavily indicated that the character is being killed off.

With Joe, Dawn and Jimmy lying unconscious in the middle of the wedding marquee wreckage, the chance of them all surviving seems slim.

We also know that Olivia Bromley is set to depart as Dawn at some point.

Will the ITV soap kill Dawn and Jimmy off in the same week?
