There’s no doubt 2022 will live long in the memory with Emmerdale celebrating its 50th anniversary through some major storylines and shock exits while soap villain Meena Jutla, played by Paige Sandhu, finally got her comeuppance.
And it looks like 2023 could be even bigger, soap boss Jane Hudson teased an explosive year in the Dales and even teased the return of some of the soap's former characters.
Jane explained: “We have got the Charity and Mackenzie wedding on the cards which will be happening next year. I think we all know weddings don’t go very smoothly. Chloe’s baby will be due around the time of the wedding - I think you can put the pieces together. It will be explosive for Charity and Mackenzie.”
