Emmerdale spoilers: Daz Spencer plots to flee the country!

Emmerdale, Daz Spencer, Kerry Wyatt, Dan Spencer

In the aftermath of his drunk-driving/hit and run, Daz is in a terrible panic and secretly starts making plans to leave the country...

Things are not looking very festive for Daz Spencer. Not only has he jeopardised his new job by misreading the signals between him and his flirty but married boss, Trisha. But now he fears the police will soon be on his case, after he made the decision to drink-drive and was involved in a hit and run...

Instead of sticking around to see if the hit and run victim is still alive, Daz fled the scene of the crime and is now afraid it won't be long before the police come knocking on the door.

With the rest of the Spencer family none the wiser about the reason behind his shifty behaviour, Daz secretly starts looking into booking flights... to escape the country!

Meanwhile, Daz's teenage daughter Amelia is hiding a shock secret of her own.

After being pressured into joining school mates Leanna Cavanagh and Noah Dingle to secretly take Daz's car for a joyride, Amelia is still shaken by her near-death experience when the car spun out of control and ended up in a field.

As adopted dad Dan and his partner Kerry fuss around Amelia and worry about her welfare, will Amelia put her foot down and decide to stand-up to bullying bad girl Leanna next time?

Emmerdale continues weeknights at 7:00pm on ITV

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters.

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.

Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)

And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
