Shock for Harriet in Emmerdale

Emmerdale spoilers - it's crunch time for vicar Harriet as the grave exhumation begins – is her family's KILLER SECRET about to be exposed to all?

Emmerdale's Harriet Finch is on pins in Friday's episode on ITV from 7pm (see our TV Guide for full listings).

The moment Harriet Finch hoped would NEVER HAPPEN has arrived.

In the churchyard, the officials have come to exhume the grave for a parishioner who is moving. It wouldn't be a problem had vicar Harriet (Katherine Dow Blyton) not once buried the dead body of DI Malone (Mark Womack) in the grave after Dawn killed him!
