Emmerdale fans are convinced that Mackenzie Boyd, played by Lawrence Boyd, is not dead and will soon return to the village.
Earlier this week, Mack uncovered a secret about John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) linking him to Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) murder.
A heated confrontation followed, during which Mack accused John of being unwell. Realising he was in grave danger, Mack pushed John and fled into the forest.
John pursued Mackenzie, armed with a bow and arrow. He fired an arrow, which pierced Mack's chest, causing him to fall.
Finding Mackenzie, John claimed he had no choice but to silence him. He picked up a rock and hurled it at Mack, seemingly killing him on the spot.
