Who is in the cast of Emmerdale?
Many faces have come and gone over the years and the line-up has drastically changed since the Yorkshire-based soap’s first instalment.
The Dingles have been long-standing residents of the eponymous village with Jeff Hordley as their most famous family member, tough man Cain Dingle.
Actors Lucy Pargeter, James Hooton, Mark Charnock, Dominic Brunt, Eden Taylor-Draper and Lisa Riley are all part of his immense on-screen family.
The clan has often faced the wrath of the Tates with Claire King being Home Farm’s main resident throughout the decades.
She’s accompanied by on-screen husband Dean Andrews but is also never too far away from Dawn Fletcher actress Olivia Bromley and her Emmerdale husband Billy Fletcher, portrayed by Jay Kontzle.
As mentioned above, the cast has drastically changed since day one, here’s where you can keep track of all the comings and goings in the village.
How long has Emmerdale been on TV?
The iconic program celebrated fifty years on our screens in October, 2022.
Emmerdale was first broadcasted on ITV on October 16, 1972.
It was initially known as Emmerdale Farm until 1989 and the legendary village where all the drama unfolds was called Beckindale until 1994.
Where is Emmerdale filmed?
The show was first filmed in the village of Arncliffe in North Yorkshire.
Three years later, in 1975, the fictional village moved to West Yorkshire in order to cut production costs.
The Emmerdale set was then located in another real-life village, Esholt in Shipley.
The exterior scenes of the soap were filmed at Esholt for 22 years but by 1998 local residents had grown tired of the production crew’s presence and the tourists the soap was attracting.
A replica of Esholt was set on the outskirts of Leeds for external filming and interior scenes are shot at ITV’s studio in the city.
