Emmerdale's Jeff Hordley teams up with co-star for new film

Emmerdale star Jeff Hordley has teamed up with one of his soap co-stars to produce a new film.

The 52-year-old actor is renowned for his role as Cain Dingle in the long-running soap. The character is going through a difficult time in the show after his mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Thankfully things seem happier for Jeff than his on-screen alter ego. He and Billy Fletcher star Jay Kontzle have produced a new short film, starring some of Britain's best loved actors.

Jay shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday, also revealing Timothy West, Angela Lonsdale and Judith Barker each play a role in the short.

The film, titled Bring Back My Bonnie, sees an elderly man with dementia continue to speak with his late wife in a bid to keep her alive. When his daughter sees his decline she tries her best to make him comfortable and the memories they share embolden their relationship.

The two aren't the only Emmerdale cast members to dabble in film. Paddy Kirk star Dominic Brunt is also a director and producer. A fan of the zombie horror genre, Dominic directed and starred in Before Dawn in 2012, Bait in 2014 and Attack of the Adult Babies in 2017.

In an exciting update earlier this year, Dominic shared on Twitter he had directed a new feature film "Wolf Manor".
