Emmerdale fans worried for ITV soap legend as he makes return for 'Dingle Court'

Emmerdale viewers have been left worrying over Zak Dingle - after he made his comeback to the ITV soap on Monday.

Zak, who is played by Steve Halliwell, first made his debut in the Dales in 1994 but has appeared more sporadically in recent times.

In last night's episode, the Dingles discussed whether they should allow Caleb back into the family after his behaviour towards Kim, as well as what he did to Moira and Cain after sabotaging their farm and livelihood reports the Mirror.

Caleb attempted to steal all of Kim's money - which he believes was rightfully his - due to Frank Tate being his father.

Since, he apologised to the Dingles for lying about his intentions. However, in order to make a decision the family decided to hold a Dingle Court.

The family use this as a way of making big decisions, and fans were delighted to see Zak return for the scenes.

However, some expressed their worry, saying he looked frail and ill.

One shared: "Zak looks so poorly! #Emmerdale," as another added: "Zak is looking ill #Emmerdale."

"Omg our Zak! He looks 108 omg #emmerdale," a third wrote, with a fourth adding: "Poor old zak is looking peaky there."

Some fans, though, were delighted to see him back and called for more scenes with the soap icon.

"Yay Zak!! #Emmerdale all we needed was Dingle court and he came back," one wrote, as a second added: "Wheyyy they’ve wheeled out Zak #emmerdale." A third shared: "I love uncle Zak, great to see him #emmerdale."

In huge scenes last week, Kim finally revealed exactly how she found out Caleb was lying to her and what happened.

"You were just trying too hard Caleb. Call it a sixth sense, I had this little voice in my head telling me to be careful. I’ve got where I am today listening to that little voice," Kim told him.

"Every time you solved a problem at the drop of a hat, the voice got louder. Screwing over your new family to get the farm, I was impressed. That naughty little move set a few alarm bells off for Will."

She added: "I just thought you were another flashy boy trying to get a piece of the pie. The funny thing is what finally gave you away. The song. A song I’d been listening to by myself and not long after you were happily singing away. Forever in blue jeans."
