Emmerdale fans were left astounded when Joanie Wright keeled over and died in a matter of seconds shortly after being released from prison. 


In shocking scenes aired during Monday's episode, the sweet factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack after discovering Lisa and Zak’s renewed romance and that Zak had hoped to end their marriage whilst she was in prison.


The news proved to be too much to take for Joanie, who had always suspected her husband loved Lisa more than her.

As Lisa (Jane Cox) picked up her friend from prison - where she had been held after assaulting a police officer - she decided to break the news.





She explained: 'I’m still not sure I can trust him but I wasn’t the one who broke up our marriage. I was perfectly happy the way things were.'


Joanie scoffed: 'Until you found out he was cheating!

But despite that you still feel you belong together? Well good luck to you Lisa, you’re a better woman than I am if you can forgive and forget.'


As the talk intensified, Joanie desperately pleaded with her friend and Zak's first wife not to take him back. 


She said: 'He believes he has the right to be happy no matter who he has to lie to. I don’t know what I ever saw in him, I truly don’t. I’m sorry I stole him from you.'


Lisa agreed, but then added: 'I didn’t steal him. I never gave him any encouragement. He just wore down my defences.'




















Love triangle: Lisa was previously married to Zak until he left her to marry Joanie. After Joanie was sent to prison the pair rekindled their romance

However, she appeared to be regretting her decision as seconds before Joanie died Lisa muttered: 'I’m going to tell him it’s not working, we gave it a shot but can’t go backwards.'


As she looked over, she then saw Joanie dead in the passenger seat, and the scene cut to Lisa explaining that Joanie had died on the way home. 


She told Zak: 'I don’t know how to tell you this, but Joanie’s died. I collected her from prison like we planned, we were talking, it was fine, then she keeled over.


'I called an ambulance, they tried to resuscitate her but she had gone.'
