Bob Hope has been a key part of Emmerdale life for 22 years this year having made his first appearance on the soap back in 2000.
Tony Audenshaw made his debut as Bob when his character tried to sell Viv Windsor stockings for her shop. Less than six months later, Bob was proposing to Viv and he's been a fan favourite ever since.
Bob has been involved in some of the Leeds-based soap's biggest storylines over the years - from his shock when friend Terry Woods returns from holiday with his daughter Dawn in tow for her to later died in shock scenes to having an affair with Laurel behind wife Brenda's back, and more marriages and divorces than one person needs.
