Emmerdale spoiler 'gives away when Mack dies' - and it's very soon

There could be a major clue in this week's Emmerdale spoilers that gives away when Mackenzie Boyd will be killed by John Sugden. The soap has yet to confirm the dark twist, but spoilers have certainly teased a showdown is on the cards.

Mack will finally find out about villain John, and that he was right about him all along. But according to reports it will not end well for Lawrence Robb's character - and the scenes could air very, very soon.

It comes as reports revealed Mackenzie would be killed off after five years, and become the next victim of killer John. Now, a hint in the spoilers and quotes by Lawrence as well as a rather telling spoiler image may have given away when Mack dies.

It definitely gives away the moment Mack uncovers John's lies, and the panic is evident. But something about the pictures and their clear tie-in with a recent flashforward clip may finally explain what happens to Mack, and when it all kicks off.

Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw teased to The Mirror earlier this year that Mack would be caught up in a "life-changing" twist later in the year, while she hinted this would be in September. Lawrence also suggested that his mystery flashforward of Mack running through the woods would air as part of this plot.

All we knew from the clip was that Mack was rushing through the woods in a panic, as if he was running away from someone. Of course fans speculated at the time that he might be running from John, and now this might have been confirmed.

The spoilers state that Mack makes a discovery, and actor Lawrence revealed it's something about John. He didn't say what he finds out, but he did confirm that it's enough to make Mack realise John is not the guy everyone thinks he is.

Not only that, but it will leave Mack in danger and lead to "tense" and "bleak" scenes at the end of the week. Now it seems this fallout to Mack's discovery and the tense scenes with John could well be his reported death plot.

What's even more telling is the pictures that go with the spoilers, showing Mack making his discovery. In one of them he's sat in a vehicle appearing to find something, or working out what something is.

The next image shows him looking shocked if not scared, as he realises what it means. But the most crucial thing about both the images is the outfit Mack is wearing in these scenes.

Mack is dressed in a tanned coloured jacket over a cream or beige fleece and a dark coloured wooly hat. This is the exact same outfit Mack is wearing in the flashforward aired in December, which sees the frantic character dashing through the woods.

So Mack's flashhorward could well air next week, and it could see him running for his life after his discovery about John. So does this give away that Mack's death or at least his showdown with John will air next week?

After all Lawrence promised there were tense and "not good" scenes for his character, filmed with Oliver Farnworth who plays John, airing at the end of next week. So it seems, despite the September comments, Mack could meet a grisly fate towards the end of next week!
