Emmerdale viewers were furious after Emma Barton's fate was finally revealed in tonight's episode.
Fans of the ITV soap were left guessing what Emma's next move would be after she climbed up on to the viaduct - and discovered that she did in fact die.
Just before she was about to commit suicide, Emma spoke to a hallucination of her son Finn, and claimed she was still going through with her plan but needed to pray first.
Emma kept repeating "just do it" as she teetered on top of the viaduct, before plunging to her death in a manner that mirrored the death of husband James.

However, that was not the end for the psycho, as after the ad break it was revealed she was still alive.
Emma was lying on the floor with her eyes open and still moving despite her dramatic fall.
While visions of James and Finn appeared next to her, Emma said: "I don't think I can hold on much longer."
She then appeared to actually die - for good this time.

Speaking about her grandson, she said: "You should see him, he's so beautiful even though he is hers. The Lord certainly works in mysterious ways. I just want to hold him, just tell him everything is going to be ok."

Actress Gillian Kearney, who plays psycho Emma, revealed the reason why she Emma fled the scene - despite saving Moira's life and delivering her baby.
"She's just about to call the ambulance to help Moira when Adam arrives and thinks the worst," Gillian revealed. "She doesn't believe that he won't believe that he's done damage to Moira, so she runs off.
"She just thinks, 'I'm so hated'. And obviously, Moira knows the truth about James' death. I just think she's in a very very sad state emotionally and mentally, really. She's trying to save herself, really."
