Emmerdale: 'Did anyone expect this?' Viewers in shock as Gordon Livesy DIES in prison
TONIGHT’S episode of Emmerdale saw a plot twist take place that no-one saw coming as it was revealed rather suddenly that Gordan Livesy had been discovered dead in jail.
Emmerdale: The Dingles are shocked to learn Gordon Livesy is dead
His son Aaron [Danny Miller] was sat down by DS Wise [Neil Roberts] and told the news about his imprisoned father.
With no buzz about the death, and the character having been locked away, it was a shock for viewers to learn of the death.
And frustratingly, DS Wise was unable to divulge the details of what happened, leaving Aaron with no other choice but to speculate.
Chas Dingle [Lucy Pargeter] suggested Gordon [who had been portrayed previously on the show by Gary Mavers] had committed suicide.

Chas then accused Cain Dingle [Jeff Hordley] of arranging for Gordon to be murdered in prison, but swiftly changed her mind, placing the blame on Aaron's boyfriend Robert [Ryan Hawley].
