Well and truly the end of an era... That farmhouse kitchen remains the set I most associate with Emmerdale, and with Annie. It always felt so safe and familiar and it has such a prominent place in my childhood memories. I remember watching Emmerdale Farm alongside my mother when I was just 4-5 years old. It was her favourite show on tv and I used to lie under the sofa table and watch it together with her. I didn't understand English and I could barely read so I had no idea what was happening, but I remember loving the theme music.

Oh My god. The younger cast of Emmerdale are the nicest, most friendliest and down to earth people I got to meet at the British Soap Awards!

jacob‘s actor came straight to me and I was so nervous. I asked him for a picture and he was completely in charge!

Noah‘s actor and the actress of Sarah Sugden‘s actress were so kind to me. Even got pictures. She was a bit upset coz that one women tried to block me from getting close to her but she still made that picture work! 
 

i got  two actresses of ED to take my iPhone to make a picture with me. Amy Walsh (Tracy) took 4 whole pictures with me and my mother with my phone. I asked Rosie Bentham (Gabby) for a picture and gave her my phone and she was totally down for it lol 

im still so hyped and excited that two actresses of ED and two of Corrie got m phone in their hands and made a picture with me. I’m sorr for writing so much. But It was just something special

@I Am A Swede Very sad to hear about Meg. I think we all knew she hadn't been doing well, as I think otherwise Pearl would have had a proper exit, but I'm sorry to hear she's gone. She was such a warm, funny actress, and even though she had many other roles (including many Victoria Wood productions), Pearl is where I knew her best. Of the wonderful trio of "oldies" Emmerdale had in Betty, Pearl and Edna, Pearl was often written as the flightiest, making the same mistakes over and over, but she had a good heart, and you always cared about her. I remember how much she resented Edna, knowing Len had only ever really loved her, and how their friendship won out anyway. I miss those types of nuanced relationships on soaps, but I know they're never coming back, and I should just be glad for what we had.

I miss that trio: Betty, Pearl and Edna, sitting in the Woolpack and offering hilarious commentary on everything going on in the village. Three distinctive personalities, brought beautifully to life by Paula, Shirley and Meg.

I thought Rishi was a likeable character and he brought a lot of continuity to the show given that he'd been there for over a decade. He wasn't a favorite of mine, but if the show is getting rid of long term characters he wouldn't have been first on my list. 

With that said, there are some fans out there at places like Digital Spy that trashed Rishi for years and are now very upset he's gone, so I think it's a lesson for people to appreciate some of these characters while they have them.

Not on mine either. There are so many other options.... Zak, Marlon, Sam, Paddy, Cain.....

I think that's very common. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

But I'm sure TPTB will give them some never-before-heard-of Dingle relative to ease their pain....

Emmerdale casts former Hollyoaks actor in Nate and Caleb storyline

Why couldn't he be his former Emmerdale character? It's been 24 years and it's not like he was a well-developed character back then so he's practically a blank slate anyway, and it would give Samantha Giles something to sink her teeth into if Bernice's former fiancee turned up....

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
