Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins on death fears for Victoria in Meena story

Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins has spoken about Victoria Barton's life hanging in the balance in next week's episodes.

Victoria is one of the characters taking centre stage in Super Soap Week, as Priya Kotecha and Ellis Chapman's survival event takes a shocking turn.

Serial killer Meena Jutla is out for revenge against Victoria due to her romantic connection with David Metcalfe.

Meena seizes the opportunity to get Victoria out of the picture, leaving viewers to wonder whether she's about to claim another victim.

Discussing the dramatic scenes, Isabel explained: "We all know Victoria ends up in water. It's white water so there's a strong current and she has no control.

"We think she's finally held on to a rock, but she gets whisked away and falls down a waterfall. I can't give all of our secrets away, but there is a lot more to this that I can't tell you about right now but it is epic.

"What we do know is Meena's capable of murder and she wants Victoria out of the way. Her last murder was over someone who could expose her secrets, while this is someone to who she could lose her man to. She definitely needs to watch her back as her cards are marked!

"I'm so excited because a lot of what we've done has been green-screened, so we don't actually know what the final cuts will look like, but it's edge-of-your-seat stuff with lots of twists and turns. It's a whirlwind of a week and I think the audience will be left open-mouthed."

Isabel also discussed the challenges of filming the ambitious scenes, which play out over six unmissable episodes.

She said: "It feels amazing! There's a lot of work involved and it's ambitious and so huge. The scale of the stunts, the number of elements to it, it's on a level I've never seen before.

"It's just so exciting to be a part of what we're filming and I know the audience is going to love it. I love doing stunts but I do get nervous. However, as soon as we've done it, I just want to do it again and again. The thought of it is much worse than doing it.

"The first few days it was just the stunt doubles and we were like 'when's it going to be our turn?' I soon realised I should be careful what I wish for! After that, we had a lot of involvement and the stunt team were amazing at showing us what to do.

"The stunts in the water were definitely out of my comfort zone. There's a difference between being in water and floating around to being thrown down rapids. Me and extreme sports don't go quite hand-in-hand so it's been quite the experience, but a fun one."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
