THE search for Craig Reed's murderer continues next week after the entrepreneur was found dead on the Home Farm estate.
Overwhelmed, Lydia Dingle decides to move out of her family home in Emmerdale. Is her marriage headed for the rocks?
Fan favourite Lydia Dingle (played by Karen Blick) was raped by Craig Reed in tear-jerking scenes.
After weeks of silence, the beloved cleaner finally opened up to her employer and pal Kim Tate before turning to her family and telling them what she had gone through.
Devastated, her husband Sam Dingle (James Hooton) turned to his brother Cain (Jeff Hordley), and viewers suggested a murderous revenge was on the way.
ITV viewers were proven right when, as mentioned above, Craig was found dead by Billy Fletcher on the Home Farm estate, where Lydia works as a cleaner.
