ITV bosses have pulled out all the stops to make the storyline as dramatic as possible for viewers including dispatching a crew to cover an entire field with thick candle-wax, replicating the ice on the surface of a lake. Producers are hoping the 'nightmare' scenes will have a 'real impact' with soap fans when they air next month.

One soap insider told The Sun: 'The bosses want viewers to have their hearts in their mouths when they see the car career off the road and into the water. 'It's a nightmare scenario and everything was done to make sure this was a scene with real impact. Hours were spent creating a layer of ice, then the actors spent hours out on the frozen field in the pitch black trying to do the storyline justice.
