ITV Emmerdale boss defends village being hit by another storm and shares why it is set in the day

The boss of Emmerdale has defended the soap's latest stunt as another storm is set to cause havoc on the stunning village and its much-loved residents. To mark the ITV soap's 50th anniversary on Sunday, October 16, those behind the scenes have been working for more than a year to bring 'death, destruction, and tears' to the Dales.

It was revealed back in August that the fictional Yorkshire village of Emmerdale will never be the same again as a wind storm shakes up life in the Dales for every single resident. And Kim Tate and Will Taylor's wedding will kickstart all the drama that's to come for the rest of the month and the rest of the year to come.

But loyal Emmerdale fans will be aware that it isn't the first time a storm has caused chaos for those living in the village. How can anyone forget the heartbreaking scenes back in 2003 when Tricia Dingle, who was estranged from husband Marlon at the time due to an affair he had with Charity Tate, became a victim in the natural disaster.
