A popular character on Emmerdale is almost in a car crash due to the driver's fault.

Jacob's first day working in A&E at Emmerdale Hospital is going to be one for the books. In fact, it nearly turns into a nightmare as he finds himself in the middle of a serious accident. This Thursday, viewers will get an inside look at the life of a medical student as they follow Jacob during his work placement in the busy emergency department.

The hour-long episode aims to shed light on the intense pressure and stress that comes with treating patients who are dealing with life-threatening injuries. And Jacob is thrown right into the thick of it as he becomes entangled in some challenging situations involving some of the villagers. But the drama doesn't end there. After his shift, Jacob has a terrifying near-miss in his car that leaves him shaken.

During his shift, Jacob is faced with a harrowing situation when a stabbing victim is rushed into the emergency room. To make matters worse, it seems that this victim has a connection to April Windsor, causing even more tension in the already chaotic environment. As the family anxiously awaits news on their loved one's condition, Jacob can't help but feel the weight of the situation.

Things only get more intense for Jacob as he jumps into action to help Charity Dingle when she brings in a drunk Sarah Sugden who collapses. Despite the stress and pressure, Jacob remains calm and collected as he deals with the situation at hand, even delivering some tough love to Sarah.

After a long and exhausting day, Jacob heads home in his car. But just when he thinks the chaos is over, he has a close call with Manpreet Sharma on the road. Thankfully, he narrowly avoids hitting her, but it leaves him shaken and questioning if he is cut out for a career in medicine.

Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper explains that this special episode was always in the works, as they wanted to give viewers a glimpse into a day in the life of Jacob. As the episode unfolds, viewers will see Jacob pushed to his limits both professionally and personally as he navigates the challenging situations that arise.
