Emmerdale airs waterfall plunge for Victoria in stunt week

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale's Victoria Barton and David Metcalfe couldn't hold onto the broken bridge any longer and plunged into the rapids below in shocking new stunt week scenes that saw Victoria's life in danger as she was later forced over a huge waterfall.

Tonight's episode (October 19) picked up with Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) and David (Matthew Wolfenden) holding on for their lives after the bridge they were walking on broke in yesterday's episode, while Charles and Manpreet fell into the raging rapids below.

As Victoria and David held onto the bridge and tried to pull themselves back up, the rope bridge snapped in half, leaving the pair still holding onto the wooden slats as they dangled off a cliff.

Victoria started to climb the broken bridge like a ladder, but as David struggled to pull himself up, she climbed back down to help him.

"I'm not going anywhere without you," she assured him.

But as she reached out to pull him up, the bridge gave way, sending both of them plunging into the menacing waters below.

Up on the cliffside, Ben and Billy tried to call for help, but struggled as Mack and Charity had previously swiped their phones in order to cheat their way to winning the challenge.

Thankfully, the four battling the tumultuous river were all still wearing their helmets from the challenge. But amidst the struggle, Charles's helmet fell off.

Manpreet and Charles continued to struggle in the water but eventually managed to grab hold of a rock and get themselves back onto dry land. Manpreet seemed unharmed, but Charles had a head wound and a leg wound that were both bleeding.

Charles called Manpreet his "own personal angel" for grabbing his hand in the rapids and helping him to safety.

Unfortunately, David and Victoria were still in grave danger following their fall into the water as they ended up being taken by the rapids towards a massive waterfall.

As the pair clung onto a rock for dear life, Victoria was pulled away by the water and went over the waterfall, hitting a large rock on her way down.

With her fate yet to be revealed, will Victoria be the first casualty of Super Soap Week?
