  • Emmerdale viewers ‘work out’ who is targeting Manpreet after new ‘clues’

    Emmerdale viewers ‘work out’ who is targeting Manpreet after new ‘clues’

    Someone in Emmerdale has been targeting Manpreet over the images she has been using online, and the only person she has turned to is Ella.

    And after the last few episodes, viewers are convinced they have worked out exactly who is behind the messages. But, it’s bad news for Manpreet.

    It seems many suspect that her close pal Ella isn’t being as friendly as Manpreet may think. Right now, she is viewers’ main suspect in the blackmailing case. And they have the evidence to back it up.

    Is Ella blackmailing Manpreet in Emmerdale?

    Ever since she came to the village fans have wanted more from Ella. When we heard about her past as a murderer, viewers thought the show was going to go down the route of psycho Ella.

    Then when Liam got with Chas, many suspected that may bring out her crazy side. But again, it didn’t.

    Months then passed, and nothing ever came from it. So perhaps all that time Ella was actually just sitting waiting for her perfect opportunity.

    Taking to X, a fan proposed the idea that Ella is the one behind the whole thing – to get revenge on Liam.

    They wrote: “I think Manpreet’s blackmailer is Ella. I know she would be the obvious choice, but she is leaving. And I think it’s because she is still hurt over Liam and Chas. So, she ultimately wants to destroy the practice so he suffers.”

    Other than Ella being the one Manpreet chose to open up to, she also is conveniently always around. And so, she has the perfect opportunities.

    Another penned on X: “I still think it’s Ella blackmailing Manpreet. Who else could it be?”

    A third user commented: “Ella definitely has something to do with this blackmailing. She is always the one finding things.”

    What would this mean for Ella?

    If it comes out that she is the blackmailer, then she can kiss goodbye to her job at the surgery. And without her job, she doesn’t have any other involvement in the village.

    A while back it was reported that Paula Lane was leaving the role of Ella after one year.

    The news first came after Paula put on her own Talent Spotlight page that she would finish filming Emmerdale in February.

    So, if that timeline has stayed correct, that would mean we’re very close to Ella’s exit – even though some already thought she had left with her lack of appearances.

    The theory of Ella being the blackmailer seems to be strong, especially as it provides her an exit storyline. But whether or not it is true, viewers have to just wait and see.

  • Inside the life of Emmerdale Michelle Hardwick: From relationship with Emmerdale boss to other soap roles

    Inside the life of Emmerdale Michelle Hardwick: From relationship with Emmerdale boss to other soap roles

    Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick has been on our screens as Vanessa Woodfield since 2012, and has been at the centre of some huge storylines.

    Vanessa has been a fan-favourite for years. From her relationship with Charity to her emotional cancer storyline, fans love her. And after the recent death of her girlfriend, Suzy, she is once again thrown into centre stage. Especially as it looks set that she is going to have her heartbroken if she ever discovers the truth of Suzy and Mary.

    From meeting her wife on Emmerdale, to raising their children together, let’s have a look at Michelle Hardwick’s life away from the Dales.

    Michelle Hardwick acting background

    In reality, soapland is actually a small place, so it’s no surprise when stars have some cross-overs.

    Before getting her role on Emmerdale, Michelle actually appeared on ITV’s other soap, Coronation Street in two different minor roles, in 1997 and 1998.

    But it was her character in the TV series The Royal which worked as one of Michelle’s biggest roles. She starred as the character Lizzie Hopkirk – a huge hit with the fans!

    Is Michelle in a relationship?

    After coming out as lesbian in July 2013, Michelle confirmed she had been in a long-term relationship with music teacher, Rosie Nicholl.

    The couple went on to get married in April 2015, but began divorce proceedings two years later, in 2017.

    However, Michelle has happily moved on from her previous marriage. In October 2018 she revealed that she was in a relationship with then Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks.

    A few months after going public the pair announced their engagement. And in September 2019, they tied the knot.

    The pair are really big on keeping fans up to date with their life together on their social media platforms.

    Dealing with trolls

    In a sit-down interview with OK!, Michelle admitted she got a lot of abuse online after coming out.

    She said: “The root of it all is always because I’m gay. I’m a gay woman. And it’s like, ‘Lesbians shouldn’t be on this earth’.”

    The trolls were so extreme that once Michelle had to call the police after receiving death threats.

    She explained: “We have had a bit of trolling over the years. And there have been certain times when police have had to be called. There have been some death threats.”

    Michelle’s family life

    In October 2020, Michelle gave birth to her and Kate’s first son, Edward. And then in November 2022, she gave birth to their daughter.

    After she had their each of their kids, she took a break from Emmerdale to enjoy time being a mum. But Michelle returned to the show, and has slotted back in naturally.

    Away from her relationship, the Emmerdale star has taken part in numerous Race For Life events near her home, raising money for Cancer Research UK. She has publicly spoken about her brother’s diagnosis and recovery from skin cancer.

    Is Michelle leaving Emmerdale?

    As of today (Sunday March 9), there have been no reports that suggest Michelle’s time on Emmerdale is over.

    However, in recent months, her wife made the decision to leave Emmerdale and move to Coronation Street.

    And with Suzy’s death having just taken place a few weeks ago, it seems unlikely that she would go anywhere anytime soon. Vanessa still has a lot of storylines to share with us! And while there have been some exit announcements lately, she does not appear to be one of them.

    But while we hope we aren’t losing Vanessa, it seems an exit is always a possibility in SoapLand.

  • Is Arthur the dad of April’s baby in Emmerdale? Fans sure they’ve spotted ‘hint’ despite him being gay

    Is Arthur the dad of April’s baby in Emmerdale? Fans sure they’ve spotted ‘hint’ despite him being gay

    The mystery in Emmerdale of who the dad of April’s baby doesn’t seem to be a huge concern on the show. April gave her explanations and then it was dropped.

    But viewers can’t help but wonder if what she said was lies, and that she did know who the dad of the baby was.

    Initially there were a lot of theories, where fans believed she was covering for someone because she was scared of Marlon’s reaction. But now, some fans think the baby daddy may be closer to home..

    What has April said about her baby’s dad?

    When April was found after almost six-weeks of living on the streets, everyone wanted to know who got her pregnant.

    Marlon, Rhona and Ross were all ready to track him down. Although, to do that they needed April to give them a name.

    However, it seems that even April didn’t fully know the answer to that. As she explained that she was drunk at a party and slept with a random guy that was there.

    She was scared of how it looked to everyone, but not long after it, it was never mentioned again.

    But in Emmerdale this week Laurel commented on how April hasn’t been to see Arthur yet, leading some fans to wonder if this was a hint.

    Is Arthur the dad of April’s baby in Emmerdale?

    Laurel headed over to April and told her that Arthur would love to see her, and April said she would “maybe” come over for dinner some time. But the hesitation on her face was clear.

    Fans took to reddit to discuss the possibility that April and Arthur may have slept together, and now she doesn’t want to face him.

    One wrote: “Am I the only one who finds it odd that April has been back a month and lives about five doors away from Arthur, but she hasn’t responded to him. And she hasn’t seen him at all in that time? I think in a weird twist he might be the baby’s father.”

    However, one huge issue with the theory is that Arthur is gay, and had his own coming out storyline. So if this came true, it would kind of ruin his own character arc – which others point out.

    A viewer commented: “I don’t want that. I am sick of the whole ‘gay guy sleeps with a woman in a moment of madness and gets her pregnant’ storyline. It’s not realistic.”

    Others have called for Arthur to begin a romance with April’s friend, Dylan. 

    Another added: “This would be infuriating. I would much rather Arthur hook up with Dylan instead. That could be a potentially good storyline for him.”

  • Joe’s doctor is hiding something in Emmerdale- all the theories on what he’s really after

    Joe’s doctor is hiding something in Emmerdale- all the theories on what he’s really after

    When Emmerdale brought back Joe Tate it was clear that he was hiding a mystery illness that requires an on-call doctor. And nearly three full months later, we still don’t know what it actually is.

    But recent episodes gave us more of an insight as he got progressively worse and called for his doctor. But Dr Crowley didn’t seem like any normal doctor. He has been visiting Joe in the evenings, checking up on him during the days. Anyone would think he’s the new Graham.

    He told Joe that he needed to stop his affair with Dawn (hasn’t really gone to plan). And on one occasion used whatever was in Joe’s black small suitcase to make him feel temporarily better – leading viewers to believe he has kidney failure. But could the mystery doctor be in Joe’s life for another, more sinister reason?

    Viewers are now suspicious about Joe’s doctors true intentions are. And even think he may be more than a doctor to him. But what exactly could he be hiding?

    What is Joe’s mystery illness? (Credit: ITV)

    Tate connection?

    Some fans think Dr Crowley and Joe may actually be related. And if that’s true, and the doc is somehow connected to the Tate family, then maybe he is up to his own con. Could he have his own plan in motion to take over Home Farm?

    Taking to a reddit thread, one fan theorised: “Something is telling me that he isn’t really a doctor, or he has ties to the Tate’s. Why would he help Joe and go to so much length and secrecy to do so? How come he only Joe has seen him?

    The relationship between Joe and Crowley seems a bit closer than doctor and patient? I wonder if the reason he hasn’t been seen with other characters yet is because someone might recognise him?”

    Dodgy doc

    Another popular theory seems to be that he isn’t a doctor at all and is actually pretending that he is to Joe for money.

    Knowing Joe, he is probably paying a lot of money for Dr Crowley. So if he finds out this whole time he hasn’t been honest with him, it will sure cause some chaos.

    One fan suggested: “I think he could be conning Joe, pretending to be a doctor when he isn’t really.” And another agreed: “That would be so good. Conning the conner.”

    What his exact motive would be is unknown, but are we about to find out there’s more than meets the eye?

    Another fan believes this is a likely situation, and that the medication he is giving Joe may actually be making him sicker.

    They wrote: “He could giving pills to Joe that are making him more ill. To ensure that Joe is dependant on him (and get money).”

    Secret relationship?

    This one feels a bit of a reach. But some fans think his need for Joe and Dawn to stop their affair is actually because he is jealous.

    This theory doesn’t seem too plausible considering if this was the case, Joe could have just avoided Dawn for good. So maybe even if it isn’t a proper relationship, could Dr Crowley have a crush on him?..

    One fan noticed: “I wondered whether he was a lover of sorts. He uses ‘we’ a lot, but a doctor would more likely say ‘you’.”

    A second viewer added: “I did think after last week that there might be a romance going on. Purely based on the way he spoke to him.”

    Figment of imagination

    Another popular theory is Dr Crowley actually isn’t real. And instead is just purely in Joe’s imagination.

    As fans have pointed out, only Joe has ever seen him. And he seems to appear right when Joe needs him the most then disappears for a while.

    The same reddit thread suggested: “It’s also a possibility that Joe is imagining him and he isn’t really there?”

    It could suggest that Joe’s illness is actually deteriorating quicker than anyone would like. And maybe, he is running out of time.

    Whatever his connection is, it’s time we found out the truth – before it’s too late!

  • Everything that didn’t make sense about the funerals for the Emmerdale ice stunt victims

    Everything that didn’t make sense about the funerals for the Emmerdale ice stunt victims

    It’s been a rough few weeks in the village, but the latest Emmerdale funeral news for the limo crash victims is quite strange – even for Emmerdale.

    When Leyla, Amy and Suzy all lost their lives in the ice stunt, viewers expected that to be the focus for a while. And for each of them to have the huge funerals that they deserve. But it seems Emmerdale had other ideas.

    From missing family members, off-screen funerals and timing arrangements, here is a round-up of every bit of madness surrounding the Emmerdale funerals.

    Missing characters

    When Leyla tragically lost her life, everyone expected David, Alicia or Priya to return to say goodbye to her. Because lets face it, they would not miss her funeral for anything – it doesn’t fit their characters.

    However, Jacob revealed to Sarah that none of them are coming, blaming various reasons that they can’t seem to make it back. This revelation outraged viewers, who felt Leyla’s death was being brushed under a rug.

    And now, on top of that, Kerry confirmed tonight that Chloe won’t be coming for Amy’s funeral.

    Chloe and Amy are sisters, and bonded very closely before Chloe left the village to get away from Mackenzie. But even she would put her differences with him aside to bury her sister – she didn’t even have to bring Reuben along.

    Funeral days

    In another shocking twist, both Leyla and Amy’s funerals are happening on the same day. And there are quite a few reasons that this is a wild move from Emmerdale.

    For starters it immediately doesn’t give them their individual moments. They were two extremely large characters on the show, and by pushing their funerals on one day, the focus is spread too wide. They each deserved their own day to be remembered.

    Another reason is that it makes no sense for those who are close with both of them. Their friends have to pick between them, which is a horrible decision for someone to make.

    A huge example of this is poor Eric. Leyla was basically family to him, and Amy was like his adoptive daughter. For him to not be able to be at both funerals is a horrible call from Emmerdale. There is no way he would miss either of them, but now he is forced to pick.

    Suzy’s off-screen funeral

    While Suzy was completely underused in the soap, she was still a part of it. And an off-screen funeral isn’t something she deserved.

    However, last week Vanessa confirmed that Suzy’s parents decided they wanted to bury her close to them, away from the village. And Vanessa had no say in any of it – despite being her partner.

    She even admitted that inviting Mary along was “pushing it”, which is also a weird decision. Surely Suzy’s family would want anyone who loved her to come and say goodbye, including her Emmerdale friends?

    Overall, it feels there is quite a lot wrong with the Emmerdale funerals for three people who deserved something more.

  • Is Sarah really pregnant in Emmerdale? Heartbreaking baby news sees her go off the rails

    Is Sarah really pregnant in Emmerdale? Heartbreaking baby news sees her go off the rails

    In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale, Sarah hid a pregnancy test in her bag. But is she really pregnant? Everything we know about her upcoming storyline.

    It’s been a dramatic few weeks for Jacob after Leyla’s heartbreaking death, so naturally a baby would be the last thing on his mind. But when Sarah’s test comes back positive, both of them face their futures.

    And spoilers indicate new bad-boy Kammy will influence Sarah’s lifestyle. So is she really pregnant? And what’s coming up for her?

    Is Sarah really pregnant in Emmerdale?

    When she gets a positive test result, Sarah heads to a doctors appointment with Charity, after struggling to come to terms with the news.

    Manpreet suggests that it’s best to double-check the result. And when Sarah does another test, this one comes out negative.

    Sarah then begins to face the reality that she isn’t actually pregnant after her false positive, and it breaks both Charity and Manpreet’s hearts watching her struggle.

    The thing that upsets Sarah the most is that she feels she missed out on her only chance to have a family, due to her shortened life expectancy. Believing this was her only opportunity, Sarah struggles to come to terms with the news.

    And as Jacob has been trying to deal with Leyla’s death, it’s clear that Sarah doesn’t have the support she needed from him.

    But soon she will be tempted to the bad side when newbie Kammy arrives in the village. And sets his sights on Sarah.

    Kammy arrives in the village

    Shebz Miah has joined the cast of Emmerdale as Kammy, making his first appearance later this month. And he comes in with a bang.

    Immediately Kammy steals one of Moira’s quad bikes, and when Ross gets the blame, the Barton is determined to prove his innocence.

    But when Kammy meets Sarah, her loyalties are divided between them. With Sarah struggling with the prospect of never having a family, will she defend someone she just met over someone who has been a huge part of her life?

    It doesn’t take long for the pair to get close to one another and Sarah may even face some danger alongside Kammy, showing her Dingle side.

    Sarah star Katie Hill spoke about Kammy’s entrance and his effect on Sarah. She said: “I can’t wait for the audience to meet Kammy. He is a really fun character, and a great addition to the village. We might even see him and Sarah get up to a bit of mischief together.”

    Exactly what the future holds for Sarah and Kammy remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure, after her false positive result, Sarah’s life definitely looks set to spiral.

  • Dominic Brunt in profile: Emmerdale co-star wife and horror movie side hustle

    Dominic Brunt in profile: Emmerdale co-star wife and horror movie side hustle

    This month marks 28 years since Emmerdale cast member Dominic Brunt joined the show as adored Paddy Kirk. And nearly 30 years later, fans still love his character.

    While he celebrates his Emmerdale anniversary, the star has taken a few breaks over the years to do different projects. But he always has ended up right back in the village.

    So what is his life like away from the soap? From his Emmerdale breaks to his famous wife, let’s have a look.

    Dominic’s career away from Emmerdale

    In recent years, Dominic’s love for TV also progressed to behind the scenes projects.

    As a big fan of horror, Dominic, along with on and off screen pal Mark Charnock, arranges an annual film festival in Leeds.

    That’s not the only side career he has, buy he and his wife also embark on numerous projects together. This includes founding Mitchell Brunt Films, where his wife works as a producer and writer on several of the company’s films.

    Despite these other opportunities, Dominic’s heart seems to lie with Emmerdale.

    He spoke to Loose Women: “It takes two to four years to get the funding together. And sometimes films collapse, sometimes they go forward. But it can be a tricky situation.

    “I don’t ever want to do one by halves. So I only do them every few years. I am happy with Emmerdale, and I really love it. I’m a big fan of the show, and I am very lucky. I have probably dodged a couple of bullets and I never take it for granted.”

    Who is Dominic married to?

    Dominic is married to fellow actress Joanne Mitchell, who has even starred on Emmerdale.

    The couple both attended the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and have been married since 2003.

    And if Joanne’s name sounds familiar with Emmerdale fans, that’s because she played Sandra Flaherty, Liv’s mum.

    While they keep their relationship private, the couple have two sons: Mickey Joe and Danny Lee. However, while their exact ages are unknown, it’s believed they are teenagers.

    Despite their private lives, Dominic shared on This Morning how they faced a health scare when Danny underwent heart surgery at eight months old.

    He said: “It’s the most horrific thing to have to go through as a parent. But he’s football mad now – he is completely fine. He has to have a check up once a year for the rest of his life. At the time it was horrific, you’re in the eye of the storm. It was horrible. You think you are going to lose your son.”

    Dominic’s Emmerdale breaks

    While Emmerdale cast star Dominic Brunt confirmed his loyalties lie with the ITV soap, he has had a few breaks over the years.

    Paddy has left our screens for a few short periods of time, most notably when he temporarily moved to Germany.

    But it seems these breaks were so that Dominic could put more focus onto his horror movies that he makes alongside his wife.

    And as he himself admitted he only does one every few years, it seems Paddy is safe in the village for a little while longer.

  • Moira and Cain are back together, but this fan theory suggests another huge secret will divide them – and it’s about Nate’s death

    Moira and Cain are back together, but this fan theory suggests another huge secret will divide them – and it’s about Nate’s death

    Viewers rejoiced as Moira and Cain finally decided to get back together in last night’s episode of Emmerdale. But while they may have happiness now, some fear another huge blow is around the corner. And it’s to do with Nate’s murderer.

    After a conversation with Ruby of all people, Moira decided she wanted her marriage to Cain to work. And she told him exactly that, while also using a chicken burger analogy. It took Cain a minute to realise what she was saying, but when he did, the pair kissed and made up.

    Fans were immediately thrilled that their break-up wasn’t going to last long, and that they are putting things right between them. But one commented that the quick make-up may actually be pointing towards a more sinister turn. As Nate’s body is bound to be discovered soon. And perhaps Moira had more to do with that then anyone knows.

    Moira and Cain reunite, but did she kill Nate in Emmerdale?

    Nate’s body is sinking under the lake after the huge limo crash reveal. Poor Amy was trapped under the ice alongside him. But she made sure to use her last words to warn Matty that he was under there – although he didn’t get what she was saying.

    A few episodes later we saw a figure wearing a black hoodie stood beside the lake as police cleared the scene. Since then there have been numerous theories on who the hooded figure was, but Caleb and John seem to be the most common. However, after Moira’s outfit choice last night, some fear that it may have been her. And it’s not like she didn’t have motive or opportunity.

    Taking to a reddit thread, one user commented: “I’m not going to lie, when I saw the episode I noticed Moira was wearing a black hoodie and my heart sank. All I can think about is that Emmerdale are going to pull a ‘Can you forgive the woman who killed your son and forgot about it’ storyline with them. I really hope it’s anyone else. John or Ella. Or even Bob – just not Moira.”

    Was it possible?

    Could she have done it? While it seems a bit extreme for Moira to have killed her son-in-law, at the time of Nate’s exit she was having a lot of memory issues.

    Moira was unaware of her brain tumour, and was living a very reckless life. She even got Ruby in the barn and set fire to it to try and kill her because she was hallucinating Emma Barton.

    And everyone had just accused her and Nate of re-starting their affair. Admittedly that means a lot of people were angry at Nate, but in Moira’s mind-set back then, she may have wanted to prove that there was nothing going on.

    If she did kill her husband’s son, perhaps she completely forgot about it and someone else covered it up? Or when she remembered did she panic and cover her own tracks.. she wasn’t in a good place back then.

    Either way, it remains to be seen if Moira did kill Nate. But we would hope that Emmerdale lets her and Cain have a little bit of happiness sometime soon – they deserve it.

    At the minute, Ruby has been embroiled in a huge abuse storyline after her father returned to her life. The actress has been thrown into the emotional storyline, and fans have applauded her.

    And it seems, away from the screens, her soap partner is also extremely proud of her. So what is Beth’s life away from the Dales like? Well, lets have a look.

    Beth Cordingly’s life before Emmerdale

    Before she graced our screens as Ruby, Beth was best known for her role as PC Kerry Young in The Bill. She played the part for two years, from 2002 to 2004.

    After completing a degree in English and Drama at the University of Birmingham, alongside taking part in the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, she went on to make numerous TV appearances.

    She has popped up in shows like Doctors, Casualty and Secret Diary of a Call Girl – where she starred alongside Billie Piper.

    Is Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly in a relationship?

    It’s reported that in 2011 Beth married theatre producer Adam Speers, but five years later the couple went their separate ways.

    Despite this, they co-parent a daughter, who is now 11 years old.

    Beth has found love again. And it’s with someone well known to the Emmerdale community.

    Ian Kelsey, who previously played Dave Glover on the soap until his character’s death in 1997.

    It’s believed that Beth and Ian actually met years ago, but it wasn’t until 2021 that they reconnected and fell in love.

    The couple currently do long-distance, as he travels for his acting gigs. But Beth takes to social media to quite frequently share Facetime photos gushing about her beau.

    What has Ian said about Beth’s current Emmerdale storyline?

    Beth has been at the centre of a huge emotional storyline in Emmerdale for the last few months.

    Ruby’s father arrived to the village, and it was revealed that he had sexually abused her and was the biological dad to her daughter. Then in a huge twist, Ruby murdered him.

    Fans have praised Beth for her skills lately. But it seems her biggest fan may be Ian.

    Speaking to Inside Soap last month, Ian admitted he couldn’t be prouder of Beth.

    He said: “She is doing such great work. And it’s a deep, dark storyline. She has had to step up to the plate. And her workload has been huge but she is doing a brilliant job. I am so proud of her.”

    Is Beth leaving Emmerdale?

    As Ruby’s powerful storyline continues, fans are left with the fear that she may be leaving the show. Especially as she has committed murder.

    But as of right now, there have been no reports that suggest Beth’s time on Emmerdale may be coming to an end.

    And in our opinion, her recent storyline has proved that she is a true asset to the show. So, we hope she stays for a long time.

  • Inside Emmerdale star Mark Charnock’s secret hobby and dream away from acting: ‘I’d like to be acknowledged’

    Inside Emmerdale star Mark Charnock’s secret hobby and dream away from acting: ‘I’d like to be acknowledged’

    Emmerdale star Mark Charnock, who has been playing Marlon Dingle since 1996 actually has a surprising hobby that he would love to take further.

    This year marks 29 years since Marlon Dingle showed up on our screens. Over the years he has been involved in huge storylines. In recent times, Marlon suffered a stroke and has been dealing with the recovery. And he is currently very involved as his daughter, April, went missing for six weeks.

    But acting isn’t the only thing that Emmerdale star Mark Charnock could see himself doing. As away from the soap, he likes to think of himself as an aspiring writer.

    Emmerdale Mark Charnock’s passion for writing

    Mark has expressed that he would love to be ‘acknowledged’ as an author one day, alongside acting. But in order to do that, he would have to release some novels. Which he has written.

    A few years ago, Mark opened up to The Guardian in a sit down interview about his time on Emmerdale. The 56-year-old took the opportunity to reveal his desire for penmanship, but admitted he never truly believed anyone would want to read his words.

    He said: “I want to be a writer. All my closest friends are writers. I would like to be acknowledged. I have got hundreds and thousands of words – novels and short stories.”

    Despite having the words written, he is yet to release anything. And he admitted he thinks someone will have to find them when he dies. But in his mind they will just ‘burn them.’

    Mark continued: “By the time I pop my clogs, there is going to be this vast JD Salinger-esque locker of unpublished stories. Somebody will read them and go ‘Oh, let’s just burn them’.”

    What else does Emmerdale star Mark Charnock do in his spare time?

    Mark enjoys sharing the sunrises in Yorkshire with his fans. And along with this he also showcases his growing crops and flowers on his Instagram.

    However, away from that, Mark has admitted he would love to continue working on Emmerdale. But he never lets himself get carried away, despite being there for almost 30 years.

    He explained: “I’m really strict with myself. I never think beyond the contract. The amount of people who come on this show and think they are secure, only to get written out in a threshing accident. If you start taking it all for granted, then you are finished.”
