Emmerdale fans have predicted Jimmy King’s exit in a shocking death twist.
Jimmy (Nick Miles) has been a staple on the ITV soap since 2004 – and it’s fair to say he has become one of the show’s beloved characters.
He has also played a part in several big storylines over the years. From his beloved marriage to Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) to even being stabbed, Jimmy’s time in the Dales has not been short of drama.
This week though, things took a seriously worrying turn for the soap legend. In Tuesday’s episode (October 21) Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) accidentally hit Jimmy with his car after losing control while driving.

Due to Joe having a heated argument with Jimmy the night before Joe realised that this would look like revenge and he went to make a run for it.
However, just as he was about to flee the scene he noticed Caleb Miligan (William Ash) pull up in his car – who had seen everything. Joe tried to play off that the accident had nothing to do with him but Caleb knew that was not the case.
An unconscious Jimmy was then rushed to hospital, leaving Nicola heartbroken. Later on, Joe offered Caleb money to keep quiet about him hitting Jimmy.

However, Caleb hit him with a deal and said that if Joe told anyone about Anthony’s murder last year, he would tell the cops what really happened with Jimmy.
And in Wednesday’s episode (October 22) a hospitalised Jimmy woke up, much to Nicola’s delight. Convinced Joe was behind the accident, Nicola later told his girlfriend Dawn (Olivia Bromley) that she was set on taking him down.
But now, despite Jimmy coming round, fans can’t help but think he could be set to killed off in a heartbreaking twist. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one person wrote: “I’m wondering if Jimmy will recover enough to leave hospital but something bad will happen maybe from an injury he suffered?”
Someone else added: “I thought that.” A third chimed in: “I think Jimmy may still die. Something tells me he’s not going to survive.” Echoing their thoughts another person penned: “I think he’ll be left with serious damage of something.”
