Emmerdale fans have begged ITV bosses to bring back the "best Dingle."
It’s been more than a decade since fan favourite Eli Dingle was on our TV screens but with his older brother Marlon in hospital following his devastating stroke, viewers are hopeful he could make a return.
Eli Dingle, played by actor Joseph Gilgun, made his first appearance on the long-running soap in 2006 and left in 2010 but his character was never killed off so the door is open for Joe’s return.
