Is Harriet Finch going to frame Will for Malone's murder in Emmerdale?
Emmerdale are yet to confirm who takes the fall for Malone’s murder, but that hasn’t stopped fans predicting it will be Will after he was hauled in to the police station for questioning.
Fans think Harriet will do the unthinkable and frame Will to save her skin after she helped Dawn get rid of the body.
One fan tweeted: "They are keeping Will in for questioning. I knew it. Will is going to go down for something he didn't even do and it's all Dawn and Harriet's fault #Emmerdale.”
Another viewer added: “Will shouldn’t have mentioned the drugs because malone is dead only person that could go to prison for that is will. #Emmerdale”
But with Emmerdale yet to confirm how the storyline is going to pan out, viewers will have to tune in to find out.
Why is Will under suspicion for the murder of Malone?
Viewers watched DS Wise’s attention turn towards Will in the aftermath of Malone’s disappearance.
Will used to work with Malone back in the day and was recently forced back into his criminal world.
The mechanic is oblivious to the fact that Harriet and Malone were having an affair - and also to the fact that Dawn killed him.
DS Wise interrogated Will about Malone following his disappearance, knowing there was history between the two men.
When Dawn discovered Will was being held in the station for questioning, she panicked.
Harriet, on the other hand, has remained oddly calm.
Is she planning on framing Will for the murder?
Why did Harriet and Dawn bury Malone in broad daylight?
Viewers were horrified when Harriet forced Dawn to help her bury Malone’s body in the churchyard - in broad daylight.
Explaining why the storyline had to be changed so that the burial didn't happen in the dark, soap boss Jane Hudson revealed: “The biggest change in these aftermath scenes were in the original scripts, we followed Dawn and Harriet to the graveyard and watched them under the cover of darkness take on the grisly task of digging the grave.

“Whilst we did feel we could do this and adhere to the 2m rules and health and safety protocols we had put in place, we knew this was one of the first blocks back filming.
“We knew our cast and crew had a huge task in getting used to a whole new way of working and to ask them to do that and then add the complication of working in these new conditions in darkness, it felt too much.”
Adding that the body will have to be moved at some point: “Whilst I was admittedly, slightly sad to lose the nighttime grave digging, I'm pretty sure given that it's a soap, that body won't stay buried there forever and there will be some reason later on why that body needs to be moved, and we can fully enjoy some dark, grisly, grave digging in the future!”
