    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The series' highest ever audience figure is 18 million, for Episode #1.1829 (1993) in which a plane crashed onto the village. The storyline also made an early soap crossover, when Channel 4's Brookside (1982) had newspaper headlines reporting on the disaster. (UK television supremo Phil Redmond worked on both shows.)
    • Goofs
      When engaged to Luke McAllister, Tina Dingle tells him and his sister Jessica about her oldest brother Nathan's wedding. Nathan is never mentioned again, and Tina's father specifically references having three sons (and then four when he discovers his supposed nephew, Cain, is actually his son) - Ben, Francis (Butch) and Sam.

      Marlon: They'll put you in the cop car.

      Sam: Are you dead, Dad?

      Zak: No, I just feel like it.

    The best and most watchable soap in television history
    Made in the largest studios of Britain, Emmerdale is a soap combining the daily lives of colourful characters of all varieties. Now called Emmerdale, the soap has shed its image of a boring drama set on a farm in the Yorkshire Dales. From the vindictive and orally vicious Viv in the shop to the friendly and funny Bernice in the Woolpack, Emmerdale's bar, you'll become addicted and transfixed on the superb acting and memorable storylines.
