Adam Thomas was asked to return to Emmerdale for the ITV soap's 50th anniversary.
The soap celebrated the big milestone this year with some huge returns as Danny Miller came back as Aaron Dingle, Amy Walsh returned as Tracy Metcalfe and Elizabeth Estensen back as Diane Sugden. However, there was also meant to be a return for Adam, but due to filming commitments, the soap star was unable to come back.
As part of the huge 50th anniversary celebrations, there was a string of deaths in the Dales as Faith Dingle, Liv Dingle, Harriet Finch and Al Chapman all saw the end in shock scenes over the month of huge episodes.
