Emmerdale spoiler: Will Pierce Harris KILL Vanessa Woodfield as she tries to expose him?
THERE could be murder in the Dales after Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick dropped a big hint about her character on the ITV soap.
Emmerdale: Pierce and Vanessa's VERY heated exchange
The vet has been trying to expose ITV soap villain Pierce Harris (played by Jonathan Wrather) and show his true colours to his girlfriend Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) before it’s too late.
So far Vanessa’s attempts to reveal Pierce’s real nature have failed after Rhona condemned her for trying to prove that the couple’s sex tape had not been deleted.
However, it looks like Pierce will be seeking to put a permanent stop to Vanessa’s interfering in his relationship with Rhona.
With rumours now circulating that Pierce could try to murder Vanessa and stop the truth coming out, the 41-year-old soap star has opened up about the fate of her onscreen alter-ego.
“Things are going to get a lot darker in the coming weeks. I’ve been off work, posting pictures on social media and the fans are convinced that Pierce is going to kill Vanessa,” the Wakefield-born star teased.
She went on to say: “All I can say is the mystery guest she brings to the hen do is brilliant.”

Michelle cheekily added to the Daily Star on Sunday: "Could this be her last chance at stopping the wedding and making Rhona see sense? You'll all have to wait and see."
Her words come after Michelle teased on Good Morning Britain last week that the plot still had a “long way to go” as it got darker.
The storyline involved Pierce and Rhona has garnered a strong reaction from Emmerdale fans, who are hoping that she will finally see through him.
However, there have been recent suggestions that Vanessa will bring a stranger back to the village to help thwart Rhona’s wedding to Pierce.
Although the identity of the character remains a mystery at present, it looks like they could throw a spanner in the works which could help Rhona.
Will the stranger be able to intervene in time? Will Pierce really kill Vanessa?
Emmerdale continues on ITV tomorrow night at 7pm.
