Fans of the long-running drama Emmerdale are already eagerly-awaiting the soap's 50th anniversary celebrations this autumn. The show's bosses have been slowly teasing what viewers can expect from the storylines that will unfold during the milestone month - and more details have now been unveiled.
Whilst there is sure to be many surprises still being kept under wraps, it has now been revealed that the Yorkshire village will be subject to a huge storm in October. Three popular characters have also been confirmed to be making a comeback to the Dales, The Mirror reports.
Aaron Dingle, played by Danny Miller, will be making a return to the village after leaving in 2021 before heading into I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. He will be joined by Tracy Metcalfe, played by Amy Walsh, who exited the soap earlier this year ahead of welcoming her new baby and Diane Sugden played by Elizabeth Estensen, who left in late 2021 after announcing her retirement - but their return will only be "temporary".
