Emmerdale will air a special one off hour-long episode to mark the soap's 50th anniversary, it has been confirmed.
ITV announced that the 60-minute instalment will air on Sunday 16 October, exactly 50 years to the day since the programme first appeared on TV screens.
To celebrate the news, Emmerdale has unveiled its official cast photograph taken earlier this year outside the Woolpack pub in the village in Yorkshire.
Everyone from the longest-serving to the soap's newer cast members, children - and even the Dingle dog - gathered in the Emmerdale village for the momentous occasion.
The news comes after it was revealed that Emmerdale bosses were forced to make some big changes whilst filming for the soap's 50th anniversary.
Isobel Steele - who plays Liv Flaherty on the ITV soap - has revealed some behind the scenes secrets from filming the dramatic episodes.
Liv is a big part of the month long celebrations, which will see the village hit by a huge storm with lives left hanging in the balance.
Isobel opened up to The Mirror and other press about the exciting "stunts".
She also revealed some big changes the show's cast and crew had to make in order to film the dramatic scenes.
"Filming the storm; it's so much fun. I love anything to do with stunts and anything that's different from the normal day. It's really good fun.
"The wind machines are huge. They're so loud. We've been given this little clip on holder for my earplugs because the wind machines so loud, but we can't hear what anyone's saying," she shared.
"So me and Brad are like, oh, we've got to have to think about when you are gonna say that line because I've got no idea cause I can't see or hear you at all. So we're just kind of winging it. That's really good. Fun to do."
She added: "And we've got these flags that the Assistant Directors are using in order to signal for the wind and then signal for us. Cause we can't hear or see. So we're just like looking for a bit green. It's really good; I've been really enjoying it."
