Emmerdale<\/a> is set to showcase what it does best in coming months, with three special episodes announced that will explode secrets, explore pasts and deliver raw developments in some of their most powerful storylines.<\/p>\n The ITV soap has enjoyed a thrilling few months as of late, with the John Sugden<\/a> (Oliver Farnworth<\/a>) saga reaching a dramatic peak while fears over Mackenzie Boyd\u2019s (Lawrence Robb) fate<\/a> had everyone talking.<\/p>\n The introduction of newcomer Celia Daniels<\/a> (Jaye Griffiths<\/a>) and the return of popular character Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley)<\/a> have also gone down well with viewers.<\/p>\n And as we move closer to Christmas, Emmerdale is showing no signs of slowing down, with three very special episodes on the horizon that will focus on three of the show\u2019s biggest stories. <\/p>\n Robert, April Windsor<\/a> (Amelia Flanagan<\/a>) and Bear Wolf<\/a> (Joshua Richards<\/a>) will take centre stage during the episodes in question \u2013 and here\u2019s everything we know about what viewers can expect.<\/p>\n Robert Sugden\u2019s special episode<\/p>\n Robert\u2019s return<\/a> has been a huge success, with fans loving having the deeply complex character back, but what of his time in prison? It\u2019s something that fans have been demanding be explored \u2013 and fans won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n How did he cope in there? How did he cross paths and become entwined with Kev (Chris Coghill)<\/a>? And how did the experience shape him moving forwards?<\/p>\n \t\t To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web As we rewind and visit his prison ordeal, an Emmerdale spokesperson has teased the drama we are in for, saying: \u2018We will take a reflective look behind the bars of Robert\u2019s recent incarceration. <\/p>\n \u2018What did happen when he got sent down for six years? And has it changed this man forever?\u2019<\/p>\n Bear Wolf\u2019s special episode<\/p>\n We have all been anticipating the reveal of where troubled Bear Wolf has been, after numerous hints from stars<\/a> including Lisa Riley that it\u2019s going to be a big shock.<\/p>\n Bear disappeared from the village<\/a> after being unable to cope and hitting what felt like rock bottom. <\/p>\n However, things are now much, much worse than feared, with the beloved character embroiled in a terrible situation that may be inescapable. <\/p>\n Emmerdale will explore a deeply topical storyline that has not been addressed by soap in this way before, and it\u2019s set to make our hearts ache for Bear. <\/p>\n \t\t \t\t\t\tNew here?
