TVTV NewsEmmerdaleEmmerdale's latest episode saw the reveal that another car caused Jimmy King to crash causing his death on the ITV soap, with hints it might be his niece Gabby Thomas20:19, 28 Aug 2026Updated 20:20, 28 Aug 2026Gabby Thomas could be linked to Jimmy King's death on Emmerdale according to a major clue on Friday.‌But fans are not buying it, instead thinking it's a different character who caused Jimmy's demise. Jimmy was killed off this week in a horror crash, which saw his car speed into a marquee.‌With Joe Tate and Dawn Taylor injured, they both managed to get out alive, while Jimmy was not so lucky. Nicola King was with her husband in his final moments before he passed away.‌Friday's episode saw the police investigating what happened, and they made a shocking discovery. A second pair of car tracks were found in the road, and police officers were able to establish what might have happened to him.It is their belief that Jimmy was driven off the road and forced to swerve something, possibly another car. DS Thea Ramsden suggested they needed to find out who he was avoiding, thinking this is what caused him to speed into the marquee.‌So who is to blame for Jimmy's death? The episode massively hinted it was his niece Gabby, who was seen hanging around the crash site, and looked like she was hiding something.Just as Kim Tate told Ramsden that if someone else was to blame they needed to answer for Jimmy's death, the camera zoomed right in on a troubled Gabby. So did Gabby cause the crash and was she driving the other car?However, fans are not convinced she is the one to blame - in fact, they think it's Caleb Miligan's fault after his recent scheming and selling knockoff car parts.‌They believe Jimmy's car might have stopped working properly due to these dodgy parts, suggesting Caleb killed him. Taking to social media, one fan predicted: "Another theory on @emmerdale is it going to be that Jimmy’s car was faulty due to having dodgy car parts from Caleb?"Another said: "I bet Caleb fiddled with the breaks that’s why Jimmy’s car crashed into that tent that suddenly." A viewer questioned: "Maybe Jimmy's dodgy car parts bought from Caleb caused the crash???"‌"I was thinking the same thing." Others thought the scene with Gabby was a clue that she was actually the one to blame, not Caleb," a follower penned.A fan posted: "I reckon she knows something." as another said: "Maybe she had something to do with Jimmy's car crashing."Article continues belowEmmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok, Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌EmmerdaleSoap operas
