Two Emmerdale fan favourites are to be rushed to the hospital in upcoming scenes on the ITV show.

She does this to lose weight ahead of her engagement party and starts to see some early results.

However, her hunger begins to catch up with her on the ITV show, leaving her irritable and completely exhausted.
The diet involves her ditching regular food for quadruple black coffee, providing her with caffeine, but leaving her starved for fuel and nutrition.
A dangerously tired Gabby will then attempt to drive her car, and is joined by Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill), who is recovering from major surgery.
According to The Sun, Emmerdale actress Rosie teased: "Gabby wants this picture-perfect day, and her insecurities are coming out.
"She starts crash dieting and drinking a hell of a lot of coffee, and putting exercise at the front of her mind. She takes things too drastically.
"It's a recipe for disaster. Gabby hasn't been eating so feels very tired and dizzy, and faints behind the wheel, which causes her to swerve."
Sarah will be forced to hit the brakes, risking her fresh stitches, but both women end up in a bad way and are rushed to the hospital.
Discussing the new development, Rosie said: "At the hospital, Gabby is diagnosed with low blood sugar.
