Emmerdale fans have been pleading 'not Sam' after the Dingle favourite was seen impaled on a piece of farming machinery. The ITV soap's 50th anniversary windstorm stunt claimed its first vicitm on Monday night (October 17) when viewers discovered Harriet Finch had died in a freak accident.
But by the end of the half-an-hour-long episode, fans were left fearing for another much-loved character as in Sam's haste to get away from a cow stampede, he divided over some hay bales and was caught trapped on a piece of farm machinery, with a spike going straight through his shoulder.
As the episode ended it didn't look good for Sam with half-sister Belle Dingle and Nate Robinson, who had already been crushed by the charging farm animals who had been spooked by the raging storm, looking on horrified.

And it was just the characters who appeared horrified as Emmerdale viewers admitted to 'gasping' over the gruesome accident. But it also caused a divide, with some slamming Sam's impalement as 'unnecessary'. @ReidShaneP tweeted: "Jesus @emmerdale what a way to kill off Sam. Little bit unnecessarily graphic before the watershed."
@EmmaLouise236 replied: "I thought it was a bit grim and a bit of a shock Christ." @ashtoneastwoodd posted: "I was so shocked when I saw what happened to Sam! I've seen a lot of comments saying they hope he doesn't die but to be honest I doubt he's surviving THAT." @shaynevibes_16 said: "Can not believe what I’ve just witnessed tonight no way Sam dies it’s getting so bad for the dingle family."
@hayley_js_ shared: "What a shock! I quite literally gasped. Poor Sam i thought he had escaped! Well done
