Dan Spencer’s exit storyline revealed as he faces prison in Emmerdale
DAN Spencer is well aware he could be going to prison after assaulting Lloyd and putting him in a coma.
With his fate hanging in the balance, the mechanic could be facing a devastating exit from Emmerdale next week.
Amelia Spencer (portrayed by Daisy Campbell) was looking forward to help her father Dan (Liam Fox) financially by working on her social media presence.
But things took a horrific turn when a man named Lloyd (Matt Sutton) rocked up the ITV village to meet her.
Determined to protect her, Dan got the police involved but ultimately punched Lloyd and left him in a critical condition.
As Lloyd’s life hangs by a thread, Dan faces prison for GBH and is hopeful to avoid a potential murder charge.
Things keep going downhill for the family and Amelia is also worried for her own daughter Esther’s future.
Despite this, Dan does whatever he can next week to plan for her future – but Amelia is convinced they should simply skip town.
Dan protests at her plan to go on the run, but Amelia is insistent they can escape to Ireland in order to stay as a family.
The following day, Amelia is stressed about losing her dad to prison and almost accidentally hurts Esther.
When Dan saves them at the last second, both are scared to know they will be losing each other soon.
Seeing his daughter’s fear and being overwhelmingly scared of prison, Dan comes round to the idea of running away.
A desperate Dan corners Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), who knows how to help somebody go on the run, and asks for his help.
Cain agrees and soon enough, Dan confirms to Amelia their escape plan will go ahead but reminds her she cannot tell anyone, not even her boyfriend Noah Dingle.
Amelia’s scared but determined to do this with her father.
Later, Cain presents Dan and Amelia with ferry tickets, an old car and a burner phone for their escape to Ireland.
