I thought explosions would be the leading cause of Emmerdale. Surely it's 2nd

I take it this would be of known characters in the soaps otherwise Emmerdale would win hands down with the plane crash - and that would also be the biggest cause of deaths in Emmerdale.

I was quite surprised that H&A was only 31 deaths behind Coronation Street.

BIB - Jake Moon's death was never confirmed so he may still be alive. Also i thought Ethel's death was assisted suicide not murder

Maybe the statistis only count for onscreen deaths which would eliminate paul and reg since paul was murdered off screen and reg was dead days before the first episode even aired

Steph may have been in the fire but she was the one that chose to die then and there.
If you remember Gilly was trying to rescue her from the flat and could have if Steph had taken his hand but she step back from him.
Basically she committed suicide.

If the leading cause of deaths in Corrie is heart attacks (33), then there've been less than that number killed in accidents involving moving vehicles. Which I find hard to believe.

Anyone been keeping statistics?
