ITV Emmerdale boss defends village being hit by another storm and shares why it is set in the day
The boss of Emmerdale has defended the soap's latest stunt as another storm is set to cause havoc on the stunning village and its much-loved residents. To mark the ITV soap's 50th anniversary on Sunday, October 16, those behind the scenes have been working for more than a year to bring 'death, destruction, and tears' to the Dales.
But loyal Emmerdale fans will be aware that it isn't the first time a storm has caused chaos for those living in the village. How can anyone forget the heartbreaking scenes back in 2003 when Tricia Dingle, who was estranged from husband Marlon at the time due to an affair he had with Charity Tate, became a victim in the natural disaster.
The character, played by Sheree Murphy, planned to leave the village despite the raging storm. However, when she read a list written by Marlon of the 101 things he loved about her she decided to forgive him but as she approached the Woolpack, a bolt of lightning struck an oak tree and it came crashing down toward her, causing Tricia to trip and fall screaming to the ground.
And Emmerdale's executive producer Jane Hudson has defended why they have chosen another storm, just shy of 20 years on, to be the latest disaster to hit the village. "I was quite conscious of eye rolls because we have done a storm before," she told the Manchester Evening News and other press. "[But] we have done every story before, so it is always about how we make this storyline feel different, and bigger and better.
