  • Martin Crowe in Emmerdale: Local police officer, doting dad and Louise heartbreak

    Martin Crowe in Emmerdale: Local police officer, doting dad and Louise heartbreak

    Martin Crowe was introduced as a policer officer in Classic Emmerdale, but his story really began when he set eyes on Louise Appleton. Having fallen head over heels, Martin was besotted with Louise.

    However, Martin’s full focus was on his beloved daughter Kayleigh, as well as his demanding job in the police force. He remained in the village for just over two years.

    So, what was Martin Crowe‘s story in Emmerdale?

    Martin Crowe is introduced in Emmerdale

    Martin first appeared in Emmerdale back in May 2004.

    He was introduced as the investigating officer when Jack Sugden was accidentally shot by his adoptive son Andy. Martin then investigated Scott Windsor and Syd Woolfe’s beating of rapist Frank Bernard Harbourne in October 2004.

    Meeting Louise Appleton

    Martin’s story really began when he met Louise Appleton in 2005. The duo came across one another at a karate class, which Louise had attended with pal Diane’s young daughter Victoria.

    There was an undeniable spark between Louise and Martin from the get-go, but it took a while for anything romantic to happen between the duo. Eventually, they started a relationship and Martin moved into The Woolpack with Kayleigh to live with Louise.

    Martin’s daughter Kayleigh

    Martin was a devoted father to daughter Kayleigh, who he had been granted full custody of after splitting from his ex-wife. While Kayleigh was fond of Louise, she struggled to bond with the youngster.

    Louise regularly frustrated Martin with her lack of parenting skills, especially when Kayleigh began rebelling as a teenager. Martin was tough on his daughter, but Louise let her get away with anything, leaving them living in conflict.

    Heartbreak and exit

    When Martin learned Sam Dingle had helped his wife Alice die due to her terminal cancer battle, he vowed to arrest Sam. Louise supported Martin, which caused friction between her and Diane.

    During an argument, Diane mentioned Louise’s ex Ray Mullan, who Louise accidentally killed. As Martin overheard, Louise had to confess all to him.

    He promised not to report Louise but insisted they could no longer be in a relationship. Martin then moved out of The Woolpack with Kayleigh and exited the village for good in 2006.

    Where is actor Graeme Hawley now?

    After leaving Emmerdale, Graeme went on to appear in Shameless, The Royal and The Stepfather. In 2007, he landed a role on ITV soap Coronation Street, playing villainous John Stape. He was an English teacher turned kidnapper and serial Killer.

    He remained on the soap for four years, before being killed off in October 2011. John’s daughter, Hope Stape, still remains on Coronation Street with mum Fiz.

    Graeme has since had roles in Peaky Blinders, Finding Alice, Casualty, Doctors and In with the Flynns.

    Alice Dingle in Emmerdale: Marriage to Sam, welcoming son Samson and tragic death

    Alice and Sam Dingle’s love story in Emmerdale was one to remember, but ended tragically when Alice succumbed to cancer in 2006. She sadly died not long after welcoming son Samson, leaving husband Sam heartbroken.

    Sam and Samson have remained in Emmerdale ever since, with Sam navigating life as a single parent. Alice definitely changed Sam’s life forever, despite their relationship being cut short.

    So, what is Alice Dingle’s tragic story?

    Alice Dingle arrives in Emmerdale

    In December 2004, Alice Wilson was introduced to Emmerdale viewers. Following the death of her father, Alice had been living alone on the family farm and was struggling to manage it alone.

    Paddy Kirk and his wife Emily paid Alice a visit and were left horrified by how she was living. The couple befriended Alice and she even temporarily moved in with them.

    This led to Alice meeting Sam Dingle.

    Alice and Sam

    It was pretty much love at first sight for Alice and Sam, with the pair immediately hitting it off. However, Alice was struggling with the farm, prompting her to make plans to move to Norfolk.

    Sam was distraught when Alice informed him of her plans to leave Emmerdale. He even thought about taking his own life, though Eric Pollard managed to talk him out of it.

    Alice came to visit after she’d auctioned the family farm, and she and Sam shared a kiss. Alice asked him to move to Norfolk with her but he declined her offer as he wanted to stay with his family.

    Zak later talked Sam into moving with Alice and the couple left the village together.

    Return to Emmerdale

    For months, Alice and Sam lived happily on their chicken farm in Norfolk, sending regular updates to the Dingle family.

    One day, Sam suddenly returned to Emmerdale and was acting strangely. Two weeks later, Alice tracked him down. She explained to everyone that she’d told Sam she was pregnant and he’d fled.

    Alice understood Sam was scared of becoming a father and the pair managed to get back on track. Sam said he wanted to remain in Emmerdale so the Dingle family could help with the baby, so he and Alice made a permanent return to the village.

    Illness

    Things were going well for Alice and Sam, but she soon began feeling ill during her pregnancy. After undergoing tests, she was diagnosed with cancer.

    Alice was advised to terminate her pregnancy in order to begin chemotherapy but she refused to get rid of her baby.

    Samson born

    Alice declined the advice she’d been given and gave birth to a baby son named Samson prematurely in January 2006. The birth left Alice depressed, with Samson being rushed to intensive care before she had chance to see him.

    Alice started undergoing chemotherapy after Samson’s arrival. During her treatment, she and Sam decided to get married.

    Alice’s death in Emmerdale

    After several weeks of chemotherapy, Alice’s doctor told her the treatment wasn’t working. Therefore, she stopped having chemotherapy.

    A few weeks of pain followed and having decided she wanted to choose when she dies, Alice and Sam agreed she would take her own life.

    When the time was right, Alice said tearful goodbyes to her family and Sam gave her an overdose of morphine.
