Emmerdale will air a special flashback episode next month as viewers discover what happened on the night Robert Sugden was shot and who was responsible.

The must-see, hour-long episode will answer the question that has been keeping fans guessing for weeks, as well as revealing two other secrets that are set to change the village forever.

Last week, viewers saw the tables turn for Robert when a mystery assailant shot him in the chest, leaving him fighting for his life.

Not only was Robert responsible for the death of his brother's wife Katie earlier this year, but he has made several enemies in recent months, leaving a number of characters in the frame.

While the main focus of the rewind episode will explore the crucial moments leading up to the shooting, two other secrets from that night will be revealed, setting the scene for an explosive winter.

One character that has been acting suspiciously since the night in question is Paddy Kirk. Viewers will have noticed that Paddy has been very cagey about his whereabouts since the incident, but did he shoot Robert or is he hiding another secret?

Emmerdale's producer Kate Oates explained: "This won't be the first time Emmerdale has broken its 'house style' of storytelling; but it will be the first time we've told a story in a non-linear way.

"What makes this 'rewind' episode special is that we won't just learn who shot Robert, but two other big secrets that will propel the show into an exciting, emotional and dramatic winter."

The special flashback episode is due to air at the end of October to tie in with the show's 43rd anniversary.

Emmerdale continues tonight (September 30) on ITV.
