Emmerdale is just two months from its 50th anniversary and viewers aren't going to know what has hit them if what the ITV soap has teased is anything to go by. The show was created by Kevin Laffan and was titled Emmerdale Farm when it was first broadcast in October 1972.
And in October, the Yorkshire soap will be celebrating five decades on-screen with a month of drama which will reach its climax during a special week of episodes bringing on October 16. Emmerdale has now revealed that a storm will be the cause of the life and death drama in the village later in the year.
"We have got, in true Emmerdale style, every story imaginable. We have got things that are going to make you laugh, make you cry, make you surprised and stunts that are going to rock your world," Jane Hudson, executive producer of Emmerdale, told the Manchester Evening News and other press.
