Filming for the stunt suggests that Charity and Mackenzie will survive the hilltop crash, which sees the car fall from a cliff, while Chloe's fate is left uncertain.
Recently, Charity's estranged husband Mack had been conflicted over his feelings for the two women after Chloe gave birth to his son following a brief affair last year, recently becoming engaged to the new mum despite hooking up with Charity.
Speaking about the dramatic climax to the story, Charity actress Emma Atkins told Digital Spy she was thrilled to be involved in the storyline.
"I'm very excited!" Emma said. "I just know that it's going to be spectacular in one way or another and we're due to get the scripts shortly, but it's going to be quite big."
