Development
On 21 October 2012, Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy announced that an upcoming storyline would feature "another tragic storyline twist" as "wedding day joy turns to horror for a number of the soap's characters".[1] The episodes were said to feature the double wedding of Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) and Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) alongside Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and Doug Carter (PJ Brennan). Jono (Dylan Llewellyn) and Ruby Button (Anna Shaffer) also plan to elope to Gretna Green to marry so steal a mini-bus, although they are unaware that the brakes are not working. sBart McQueen (Jonny Clarke) and Esther Bloom (Jazmine Franks) try to stop the mini-van by chasing them on the road. Driver Maddie Morrison (Scarlett Bowman) is distracted and when she sees Leah Barnes (Ela-May Demircan) on the road she swerves off the road while passing Tony, Cindy, Ste and Doug's wedding venue. The mini-bus crashes in to the wedding venue shortly before it explodes.[1] Kilkelly explained that the event would "change life in the village forever". The storyline was created to "reveal secrets and lies that many had fought hard to keep hidden". It was also revealed that "at least two characters are expected to be killed off in the momentous episodes, but their identities will be kept closely under wraps until transmission".[1]
