Emmerdale: Lawrence White aggressively confronts Chrissie's uncle
The dramatic cliffhanger saw Lawrence (played by John Bowe) left for dead in a car after Chrissie White's (Louise Marwood) real uncle Tim Richards (Mark Moraghan) knocked him unconscious with a rifle.
Perhaps in a bid for revenge, Tim then turned the ignition on and locked Lawrence in the garage with the car engine running before slowly walking away from the scene.
After it was previously announced Lawrence would be bowing out of the soap, has he finally met his demise?

Earlier on in the action-packed episode, the villagers were wandering around to find a missing gun as they prepared to host a clay pigeon shooting event.
As Chrissie accused Faith Dingle (Sally Dexter) of stealing the weapon, it soon became clear to viewers that Tim was the who had taken it and he appeared to be seeking revenge.
This week, the arrival of Chrissie's uncle saw Lawrence's deepest and darkest secret come out which revealed he had a part to play in her father killing himself after being wrongly framed for a crime.
And those watching at home were worrying over whether Lawrence will make it out alive as one fan wrote: "Oh no Lawrence! #Emmerdale."
