Emmerdale Press Release 4th May 2007 :-

Tom King's killer to be revealed....

It’s going to be far from quiet in the country on Thursday 17 May when Tom King’s murderer is finally unmasked in an explosive hour-long episode.

The most anticipated soap whodunit ever will reach its climax as the net closes in on Tom’s sons Jimmy (Nick Miles), Matthew (Matt Healy) and Carl (Tom Lister). They insist they are innocent as they stand in the dock accused of conspiracy to murder, but in a surprise twist all will be revealed when the killer finally breaks their silence…

The scorching one-hour episode will also feature the aftermath of Louise’s (Emily Symons) horrific car crash as she races to the police station to withdraw her false statement against the Kings.

Operatic superstar Katherine Jenkins will be making a very special appearance as herself to open the eventful Emmerdale village pageant, and the cat fight to end all cat fights erupts as Katie (Sammy Winward) and Jo (Roxanne Pallett) quite literally rip each other to shreds as contestants in the long-awaited village Beauty Contest.

As if that’s not enough, the episode concludes with the shock death of a much-loved character, resulting in the pageant celebrations coming to a heartbreaking end.

Kathleen Beedles, Series Producer says: "We’re really excited about this episode which is bursting with drama, comedy and heartbreak.

"It’s a fitting climax to the Tom King storyline which has surpassed all our expectations and become one of the greatest soap murder mysteries ever."
