We don't like Terry. We never have. And this week all our suspicions
about his fundamentally creepy nature are justified when he comes back
from Spain with a very young woman in tow. The unfortunate doxy turns
out to be daft Bob's daughter, and Bob is, quite rightly, furious at
seeing his offspring in the clutches of such a weirdo.
Worse, Terry and this young woman plan to marry in three weeks' time.
Bob is determined to put a stop to such madness. (Bob, you should have

CAN'T BELIEVE HE LEFT ME FOR FAT BIRD FROM EMMERDALE..
THE dumped wife of Emmerdale star Lisa Riley's new lover broke down
last night and said: "I can't believe he's left me for that fat
bird off the telly."
Pretty florist Jayne Holly, 41, was devastated when her husband Nick
ran off with the roly-poly soap actress. Opening her heart for the first
time, she told The People: "Lisa destroyed me. I'm utterly humiliated.
"How can you forgive a woman for stealing your husband and taking
your children's father away?"
Trim blonde Jayne continued: "I didn't think in a million years
he would fancy her. Nick likes slim blondes. I don't understand it and
I've hardly slept.
"This is so hard for the children. They're very angry with their
father."
She added: "I'm not after revenge. I just want to put my side of
the story."
Jayne's world fell apart last week when artist Nick, 35, told her he
had fallen for Lisa, 26.
They met while she was in panto in Swansea.
He left Jayne and their children aged 12 and eight, to live with the
You've Been Framed presenter in Manchester.
Jayne said: "He'd been acting strange, then stayed out all night.
I asked him if he was seeing someone else and he admitted it.
"He wouldn't give me her name at first.
"I went through all the cast members - but I never thought it would
be flipping Lisa Riley."

Soaps by Alison Graham Emmerdale
Tricia attempts to do what is surely impossible this week by springing
a surprise wedding on the hapless Marlon. Their previous attempt failed,
but will this dream be realised at last?
Marlon, the poor sap, is clueless and thrown into panic when his tarty,
prospective mother-in-law Steph tries to measure him up for his wedding
suit. Steph is so orange she could light up a zebra crossing, so perhaps
Marlon should just run away whenever he sees a faint glow in the sky
- it's bound to be Steph.
Anyway, the guests are gathered and the bride is waiting - but will
the unwitting groom turn up? |
|
EMMERDALE
Weekdays ITV
TRICIA is ecstatic when the surprise Valentine’s Day wedding she’s organised
for her and Marlon goes like a dream.
Marlon is over the moon to accept the sudden proposal and stunned to
discover that almost everyone in the village is there for the ceremony.
But, as always in soap, the wedding has a few last-minute hitches.
“Marlon is really moved,” says Mark Charnock, who plays the gobsmacked
groom. “He loves Tricia very much and he still regrets that their first
‘wedding’ went wrong. But he never had an inkling Tricia was going to
get it so right second time. He’s in heaven.”
At the start of the week, Marlon hasn’t the slightest idea that Tricia
is planning anything.
But it’s almost all for nothing when Rodney opens his wedding invitation
in front of Marlon.
Luckily he manages to pass it off as a Valentine’s card. “Then, Marlon
almost catches Paddy practising his best man’s speech,” says Mark.
“But Paddy pretends to Marlon that he’s writing a romantic message for
Emily.”
Meanwhile, Bob offers to throw a stag night for Marlon, without letting
him know what they’re really celebrating. Marlon is surprised when all
the men in the village seem to want to buy him drinks.
“Even when a stripper arrives, Marlon doesn’t know it’s been organised
for him,” says Mark.
“They pretend it’s all for Sam’s birthday. By the end of the evening
he’s so drunk he doesn’t even notice when Ashley mentions the ‘big day
on Friday’.
“And he still doesn’t twig when Steph asks him to try on a suit she’s
‘altering for a friend’. She’s really making sure his wedding suit fits,
but he panics that she’s coming on to him again. When she goes to take
his inside leg measurement, he calls a halt and gets rid of her.”
In the meantime, Tricia realises that she hasn’t got enough money to
pay for all the wedding bills and is deeply upset when she is forced
to sell her expensive dress.
On the day itself, the villagers try to keep Marlon and Tricia apart.
Marlon is determined to tell Tricia her mother is trying to wreck their
relationship again, but he never gets the chance.
Diane has him busy preparing food for a special Valentine’s party, which
of course is really for his wedding.
Tricia is overjoyed when Steph buys her expensive dress back for her
and, with everything finally in place, Paddy tells Marlon it’s time for
Tricia’s Valentine’s surprise, puts a blindfold on him and escorts him
to the church.
“Marlon is very puzzled,” says Mark. “At the church, Paddy ushers him
inside and takes off his blindfold to reveal Tricia waiting, looking
beautiful in her lovely wedding dress. He gives Marlon his suit to change
into.
“He is astonished. Tricia asks him if he’ll give her another chance
and marry her. He is overcome with emotion but happily accepts.
“Marlon is just delighted as he and Tricia tie the knot. At the reception
he thanks everyone for helping make him and Tricia so happy. And Steph
explains to him that she was only trying to get his suit to fit.
“He just has one surprise of his own to reveal - a hot air balloon that
he had planned as his Valentine’s Day surprise for Tricia. The happy
couple sail up, up and away.”
Also this week:
Charity finds out that Pat is ill.
Andy is jealous when Stephen takes Katie to the photography museum in
Bradford.
Ollie tries to make a fresh start.
Wilf decides to quit the farm.
Scott and Chloe get back together.

Sheree plans for new arrival 
Sheree Murphy, who plays Emmerdale barmaid Tricia Stokes, is looking
forward to the arrival of her baby this summer.
But she says soap bosses haven't written her pregnancy into the Emmerdale
script.
Sheree and her husband, Leeds United striker Harry Kewell, already have
a son, Taylor, who was born in 2001.
She told The Daily Mirror's The Look magazine: "Harry was desperate
for another baby. It was a shock to discover I was pregnant again so
soon, but we're thrilled."
She added: "I don't enjoy being pregnant. With Taylor I was physically
sick all the time. This time I felt I was dying. I am finally starting
to enjoy it, but I can't say I'm blooming. It's hard to feel sexy in
support bras and maternity knickers, but Harry boosts my confidence."
Sheree doesn't feel she has much in common with the stars of the ITV1
drama Footballers' Wives.
She added: "I watch that and laugh. I admit we have the money to
be able to buy lovely things, but life just isn't that glamorous. I have
very little to do with the football side of things and don't really socialise
with the other wives because I'm always at work. As for the affairs with
the chairman...I've only said hello to him once!"

Actor enjoys his 'Second Coming'
ONCE every five years a script drops through the letterbox of Cononley
actor Peter Armitage that he finds impossible to refuse.
ITV's drama "The Second Coming" was one of them.
In the drama, Peter plays Frank Baxter, whose son, Steve, finds out
he is the next Messiah.
"It's about a man who works in a video store, who's not very successful
with women, and so on, who gets chosen to be the next Christ," he
said.
"I play his father, whose wife left him 10 years before and is
a very bitter single parent. He is a bit of a `ducker and diver' and
is in the pub a lot!"
Peter said that the drama, shot in a documentary style, was more irreligious
than religious.
"It isn't going to offend anyone," he said. "The message
is that if you're going to play God, then you start having to think about
your actions.
"This Messiah doesn't do miracles, except to get attention. It
is more of a wake-up call."
Steve is sent to tell mankind that they must write their own Third Testament
or face Judgement Day, but struggles to convince everyone he is what
he says he is.
Eventually he performs a miracle, turning night into day at Manchester
City football ground.
The drama was shot over the summer and stars Christopher Eccleston in
the principal role, and Lesley Sharp as his girlfriend.
Written by Russell T Davies, writer of the Queer as Folk series and
Bob and Rose, it was directed by Adrian Shergold. It has already received
good reviews from two out of three of the critics on BBC Two's Late Review.
"Every so often a script drops through your letterbox and you think,
this is a bit different and the story line is so good, you want to be
involved with it," said Peter.
"I am proud to be part of the whole thing. It is a combined effort
and everybody worked hard on this. We worked late some nights, knowing
it was an important piece. As a piece of drama we all thought it was
worth doing."
Peter has been a familiar face on the screen this winter starring in
Emmerdale and is due to finish on the soap on March. He also starred
recently in Fat Friends and Holby City.
The Second Coming starts on Sunday at 9pm with the concluding part the
following night at the same time.

Jarvis has had some of the best moments of his life on the dance

eventful than ever!

After Steve
Halliwell needed a break
from the village, so Zak Dingle has
left for South Ammerica. However, the
show wants Zak back later this year.
"There's nothing we'd like better
than to see Zak come back from his
trip," says an Emmerdale insider.
But Steve is determined to enjoy his
hiatus from the soap. "I know the door
is open," he says. Meantime,
much-loved Betty Eagleton (Paula
Tilbrook) will be back this month.
Paula has also needed a break.
---------------------------------------------
You can expect a few Valentine's Day
surprises in Emmerdale. The biggest
will be Tricia and Marlon tying the
knot - which he doesn't know yet.
Poor old Tricia (Sheree Murphy) has a
a lot of organising to do before she
shocks Marlon into saying "I Do."
Her mum Steph (Lorraine Chase) is
roped in to help with the plan.
"She's going to lure Marlon to the
church on false pretences," says
Sheree. "It's a lovely will-they-
won't-they storyline."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There must be some mistake, surely?
Andy Sugden has had a great run of
good luck - but the writers have
come up with new woes for the lad.
There's jealously when his girlfriend
talks to another guy and he gets a
letter from his murderer dad.
One possible developement is that
Andy visits his Dad in prison. "It
would be far more affective than for
him to push it to the back of his
mind," says Kelvin Fletcher, who
plays Andy.
-------------------------------------
Emmerdale fans might feel confused
if they are also followers of
Heartbeat. It returns in a few weeks
with a familliar face.
New bobby on the beat PC Steve Crane
is being played by James Carlton.
Fans will recognise him as the actor
who played the village gay odd-job
man Jason Kirk, who left last year.
James was in Emmerdale for two years
before moving on. "It's the way telly
works," says an Emmerdale insider.
"
James is shrewd and a fine actor." |

LISA: I
HUNTED FOR LOVE ON THE NET
Feb 5 2003
EXCLUSIVE PART TWO: How fat jibes drove Lisa to edge of despair
By Jenny Johnston and Nick Webster
IT'S hard to know whether to laugh or cry. Lisa Riley is telling the
story of how she used to turn to the internet to find love - posing as
a Lisa Riley lookalike.
"I'd always go under a false name and say I got £500 a night
in Blackpool as the Lisa Riley lookalike. Well, I couldn't go on as myself
could I?" she giggles. Then comes the sad sigh.
"It was never going to work, really. Even if I'd found somebody
I liked, I couldn't really have done anything about it.
"Can you imagine the headlines - 'I bonked Lisa Riley after a chatroom
chat'? Besides, meeting someone on the internet probably isn't a good
idea. They could be a complete nutball. You have no idea how things would
turn out."
She might not have got herself into a chatroom-type tangle, but Lisa
Riley's love life is certainly raising eyebrows at the moment.
The actress and presenter has just started to live with her new lover
- a married man who left his wife Jayne and two children for her after
knowing her for just two months.
In Monday's Daily Mirror she talked openly about how she fell in love
with 35-year-old Nick Holly. Today she explains why, before meeting Nick,
she thought she was destined to spend the rest of her life alone.
"That might sound a bit daft since I'm only 26," says the
star of You've Been Framed and Fat Friends. "But I really was starting
to believe that I'd never ever find anyone to love me.
"In the past two years, I've lost my gran, my mum has had breast
cancer and my dad's been diagnosed with diabetes. I went through all
that on my own. Yes, I have great friends and family, but it's not the
same as having someone special.
"I've been lonely. I know it's not the done thing to show that
you want someone, but I do. I might go out with my mates and go home
alone at the end of the night and treat it all as one big laugh, but
it does hurt.
"You watch all your friends pair up and settle down and start getting
married. And you've still got no one.
"You do start to wonder if you will ever find anyone. For a while
there, I really thought I'd be on my own for the rest of my life. Always
the entertainment - making other people happy. But never being happy
myself.
"It's not about sex. I've gone for a year without having sex. It's
the closeness you miss. I think my mum understands how unhappy I have
been. Your mum sees a side of you that you won't show to anyone else.
"You feel a bit stupid going on to your friends about how you just
want someone. You sound pathetic and desperate."
This is quite some admission from someone who has built her whole career
on a bubbly, confident image.
Lisa Riley has become as famous for her determination to be herself
as for her TV roles. And that determination includes sticking two fingers
up at those who expect her to look a particular way.
But the famous "rhino skin" she talks about isn't quite as
thick as it seems. On one level, Lisa knows her size is an asset: "At
least people know who I am," she admits. "If I was just another
skinny blonde lass they wouldn't remember me."
ON ANOTHER level, however, her size has brought her nothing but grief.
This week's headlines have again focused on her size. "Lardy Lisa," read
one.
"I've tried so hard to shrug it off. When you get pictures of yourself
in the paper with the headline 'Emmerwhale', you do have to become immune.
I really really don't care. But when it comes from blokes you might fancy,
it is different.
"I remember this terrible situation. We were dancing around one
night in Manchester and this guy who was completely gorgeous was nearby
with seven or eight mates.
"He came over, and we were flirting. Then I snogged him and I looked
over and all his mates were laughing. That was horrible. Am I just one
big laugh, that comedy fat bird from the TV? "It made me feel desperate.
It made me feel horrible. The only time I've ever wanted to be slim was
to discover how men would treat me. I'd like to do it just for a day.
"I have looked at fat women in shopping centres and been consoled
by the fact that they have husbands with them. It made me realise fat
birds do find someone too."
Although she tells all her stories in the same self-deprecating, yet
hilarious, manner, there is a definite sadness about Lisa's relationship
history - or lack of it. She remembers hoping for night of passion on
her birthday after a party with mates at a posh Manchester hotel.
"One of the guys was great. He would have been perfect for me.
Dead sharp, very quick witted. I'd gone to bed. There was a knock on
my door and there he was! But someone had left a cardigan on a chair
and he thought it was mine - end of story.
"I did think I was going to get a birthday bonk at a nice hotel
but it didn't happen. Story of my life."
She says she did once have a nine-month relationship with a medical
student, but the affair fell apart because he was unable to cope with
the constant attention that came with her job. But the only time she
had been in love before meeting Nick Holly was when she fell "hook
line and bloody sinker" for a handsome 23-year-old called Lee Cooper.
Early in the relationship she discovered that Cooper was not all he
seemed. He had been charged with swindling old people at a residential
home he managed and was eventually convicted of fraud.
Cooper's crimes were committed at Tree Tops Residential home in Barrowden,
Rutland. He stole £30,000 from a couple aged 93 and 90, and £30,000
from another elderly woman. He frittered away his loot on trips to Amsterdam
and Paris, and on London shopping sprees. While he was in prison, however,
Lisa remained devoted to him, unaware he was boasting to fellow inmates
about his relationship with her, and passing notes from her around the
cells.
He even passed round photos of her ample DD curves. She, in turn, lied
to everyone about their relationship, claiming that her boyfriend was
living in Australia.
The experience - and humiliation she suffered - seem to have left a
deep scar.
S HE says: "I thought I would never get over being hurt like that.
It is devastating to discover that someone you really love is so different
to the person you thought he was.
"And I was so desperate to be happy that I handled that situation
all wrong. I really thought that he would be found not guilty.
"I tried to hide the truth about him from everyone. Even my mum
and dad. I lied and lied to them.
"This time, when I told them about Nick being married, I could
see they were concerned. When you've got my track record, that is understandable.
"My mum said that whatever happened, I should be honest with her."
Lisa's big concern now is how her very public relationship with Nick
will go down with her fans.
Although she has now finished presenting You've Been Framed, she is
committed to a Cold Feet-style ITV drama later this year.
She has always been supremely confident about her professional life,
and has always insisted her personal problems shouldn't affect her career.
Whether she can maintain that confidence as the storm over her new love
rages fiercely around her remains to be seen.

The Star
- Cain We Get Married?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunky Emmerdale actor Jeff Hordley is set to break the hearts of female
soap fans by marrying his college sweetheart.
Jeff, who plays bad boy Cain Dingle in the sex-and-sheep soap, plucked
up the courage to pop the question after his long-term love and former
co-star Zoe Henry, 29, won a prestigious drama award.
The couple met eight years ago as students at Manchester Metropolitan
University - and smitten Jeff, 31, reveals: "It was there that I
saw her and realised she was the girl for me. She was the only girl in
the college that I wanted to be with."
Zoe, who played country vet Rhona in the Yorkshire soap, beat off Amanda
Donohoe to win a best actress award in Manchester for her role in the
play Pygmalion - and loved-up Jeff promised himself he would propose
if she bagged the gong.
Jeff revealed that he was nervous, but added: "Fortunately for
me, she said yes."
The inseparable pair - who share homes in Saffron Waldon, Essex and
a flat in Leeds - also act together in the Home Grown Theatre Group,
which will stage a new production at the Library Theatre, Manchester,
in April. |

could be the daughter she gave up nearly 13 years ago!

mother. Just when Charity thinks the ordeal is over – she comes
face to face with the girl who could be her daughter.

When Syd suggests he’s feeling better and fancies an evening out with
the lads, Nicola has other plans.
Unsteady on his feet, Syd tries to make a sharp exit. But when
Nicola offers a helping hand he finds himself in a heap on the
floor. He quickly realises resistance is futile!

just fallen apart and Zoe is left trying to pick up the pieces.
Charity finally comes to her senses and realises she can’t just
throw Debbie out – she deserves an explanation.
But when Debbie asks questions about her father, it is all too
much for Charity and she quickly tells her he is dead.
Charity is keen to keep the truth about Debbie from the village,
and takes her aside insisting this is their little secret – not
even Paddy and Emily must find out.
Chris feels betrayed when he realises Zoe knew Charity had given

Troubled, he sees his wife in a new light. He realises she’s
a good liar and wonders what other skeletons she has in her closet.
With Valentine’s Day looming, Nicola is convinced she can persuade
Syd to be her date.
Syd’s worried as his injuries mean he’s a sitting duck who is
helpless to Nicola’s advances.
Edna decides she’ll no longer bear grudges and finally agrees
to dance in the National finals, although she doubts they’ll
get through the first round because she thinks Jarvis lacks grace!
EPISODE 3370: FRIDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2003
EMMERDALE @ 7pm Fully Networked

keep Charity’s secret.
Determined not to let the revelations of the past days rock
his world, he demands to know what Charity is going to do about
the situation.
But Charity is determined to get Debbie out of her life as quickly
as possible as she has no maternal feelings what so ever. She
knows she will have to tread carefully or the whole village could
find out!
Having agreed to meet Debbie and take her out for a drive, Charity
puts on a brave face, as she prepares to let Debbie down gently.
Meanwhile Debbie’s adoptive mother, Pat has taken a turn for
the worse in hospital and is asking to see her daughter.

receives further bad news.
Social services have called to request she move closer to her
adoptive mother – meaning she must leave Emmerdale.

found Charity and is now being forced to move away. Emily mistakes

sees Diane giving Bob a Valentine’s card, and urges him to keep
the contents a secret!
Having reluctantly agreed to take part in the regional dance

February 2003 - Manchester News: Emmerdale star's affair with married
man
TV
star Lisa Riley is having an affair with a married father-of-two she
met while she starred in pantomime.
Lisa, 26, has been branded a home- wrecker by artist Nick Holly's wife
Jayne who said she was shocked to discover he was having an affair with
the Emmerdale actress.
Mrs Holly is reported to have said: "I might have understood if
it had been some leggy 21-year-old blonde but Lisa Riley? I thought,
`Good God', you could have knocked me down with a feather.
"Nick's not a big chap - he only weighs about 10 stone and is 5ft
5ins."
Nick, 35, left his wife of 13 years and two children, Sam, 12, and daughter
Alys, eight, when he fell for the TV star.
When the couple started the affair they kept it a secret for the sake
of Nick's family but he has now left the council house in Swansea he
shared with his family and is staying at Lisa's home in Tottington, near
Bury.
The secret affair had been going on for nearly a month and Nick finally
left his wife on Monday.
Lisa said the couple's main concern was Nick's children. She is reported
to have said: "People have got have hurt and that's not good but
we want to be together more than anything."
The affair started when actress Lisa played the ring mistress in Goldilocks
during its five-and-a-half-week run in Swansea. Mrs Holly started to
believe her husband was up to something when he would come home in the
early hours of the morning after performances.
Nick was working as a stage hand at the Grand Theatre.
Speaking from her home in Wales, she added: "I asked him straight
if he'd found someone else and he admitted he had.
"He wouldn't give me her name at first.
"But when he did finally come out with it I couldn't believe it."
Lisa was unavailable for comment.
Someone at her home said through the letterbox that the You've Been
Framed host didn't want to say anything.
[Just as a sidenote Lisa hasn't been in Emmerdale since 2001 - 20 July

Lisa falls for married man
Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley, who played Mandy Dingle, has confessed
to falling in love with a married man.
The real life love affair sounds like a soap plot, but Lisa insists that
she is not a "homewrecker", despite married Nick Holly leaving
his wife and two kids to be with her.
Lisa says she and Nick, who was married to Jayne for 13 years, are worried
about the effect on the children, but want to be together more than anything
else.
Speaking in today's Daily Mirror, Lisa says: "People have got hurt
and that's not good, but we want to be together more than anything."
Lisa met her forbidden love while she was playing in the Goldilocks and
the Three Bears panto in Swansea over Christmas.
Artist Nick was earning extra money by working as a stage hand and their
love blossomed as the two got to know each other.
Lisa also revealed she will be leaving her You've Been Framed home video
clip show to concentrate on her acting career.

Weekdays ITV1
CHARITY is shocked when Cain confronts her with proof that Debbie is
her long-lost daughter.
He forces Charity to return the deeds to the Dingles’ home after showing
her Debbie’s precious photo of her. Charity hopes this means Chris will
never discover her dark secret, but Debbie wants to meet her mother and
the truth comes out anyway.
“Charity is stunned when she sees herself aged 13,” says Emma Atkins,
who plays the reluctant mother. “It brings it all back and she knows
that Cain has won this battle.
“She insists to Chris that everything is all right after Cain leaves
but she’s shattered.
“Charity admits to Zoe that Debbie really is her daughter and she recalls
the agony of giving birth at 13. Her friend Pat came to her rescue and
registered the baby in her name.”
Charity realises that she has to give the deeds back to an overwhelmed
Lisa who is delighted that Charity has seen sense.
“But then she has to tell Chris what she has done,” says Emma. “He’s
furious but she explains that Cain was spreading rumours about her.
“She has to admit to Chris that Cain is saying Debbie is her daughter
but she insists it’s not true, which surprises Zoe.”
Chris visits the Dingles’ and orders Cain to keep his lies to himself.
But Charity’s torment it not over. Debbie turns up at Home Farm.
“Charity is totally speechless at first,” says Emma. “Then she tries
to tell Debbie that Cain is lying and she is not her mother.
“Chris backs her up, but Zoe can’t stand what she is hearing and explains
to Debbie that Charity really is her mother.
“Chris sees from the look on Charity’s face that it’s true. He’s devastated
and so is Charity. She thinks this could be the end.”
Chris angrily turns on Charity and demands to know if Debbie’s father
was one of her ‘clients’. She pleads with him that she was only 13 when
it happened.
But Chris feels betrayed. He can’t believe that Charity was such a convincing
liar and wonders what else she’s lied about.
“Charity tells Debbie that she was forced to give her up because she
was so young,” says Emma. “She insists Debbie’s father is dead.
“Debbie is desperate to tell foster parents Paddy and Emily that she
has found her mother, but Charity tries to explain to her daughter that
they have to keep it a secret.
“Charity warns Debbie that Pat might get into trouble with the authorities
if the truth comes out.
“Charity simply refuses to let herself become emotional. She doesn’t
want Debbie in her life and she takes her home and coldly tells Chris
that Debbie won’t trouble the Tates.”
But Debbie is determined to bond with her mother and skips school to
spend time with her even though Charity refuses to respond.
News comes through that Pat has taken a turn for the worse in hospital
and Emily takes Debbie off to see her.
“Charity is very shaken by Debbie’s arrival,” says Emma. “But she refuses
to show any of her feelings.
“She can’t turn the clock back and she loves the life she has now as
the lady of Home Farm. Charity doesn’t want anything to take that away
from her, not even a daughter.”
Also this week:
Nicola relishes nursing Syd.
Andy feels left out when Stephen helps Katie with her schoolwork.
Sam’s hens rebel against him.
Tricia struggles to keep her wedding plans a secret.

Chris hatches plan for Dingle land
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Tate hatches a devious plan to relieve the Dingle clan of some
valuable land in Emmerdale.
He persuades wife Charity, played by Emma Atkins, to demand repayment
of a loan she made to her family.
When all they can come up with is half a dozen new-laid eggs as a first
instalment, Chris, played by Peter Armory, reveals his real intention.
Not the repayment of the money but a plan to take their land and use
it for a lucrative housing development.
Charity is horrified but Chris forces her to choose where her loyalties
lie.
But things become more complicated when Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley)
discovers Charity's dark secret. Some years ago she had a baby but
gave her up for
adoption. When Paddy and Emily's foster child, Debbie, shows him a
picture of her real mum, Cain realises it is none other than Charity.
Can he use the information for his own ends? |
|
THIRTEEN is a good age to have a child - at least it seems that way
when it comes to soap producers.
First it was Coronation Street's Sarah Louise Platt who had a baby in her first
teen years.
But now Emmerdale character Charity is going to reveal that she was a mum at
13 too, and the father was her cousin Cain Dingle.
Cain, played by actor Jeff Hordley, will get the shock news as he tries to
blackmail Charity.
And the plot becomes even more twisted when the baby turns out to be Paddy
and Emily Kirk's foster child Debbie, who was given up at birth.
An Emmerdale source said : "Debbie will bring Charity and Cain much closer
together.
" He may be a bad boy, but he would have stuck by her at the time if he'd
known the full story," the insider told the Daily Star.

2003 Sheahan joins the British soap stable (Irish Examiner)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Niall Murray
JOHN SHEAHAN has joined the ranks of Irish actors who’ve made their name
on British soaps after arriving in Emmerdale this week.
The big break on the small screen came throughhis role as David Mullen,
brother of Ray, who was killed in the Yorkshire-based drama over Christmas.
He turned up for his brother’s funeral on Monday night, giving Ray’s
fiancee Louise (actress Louise Symons) the shock of her life.
“I was home in Cork on a short holiday in November, when my agent in
London rang and told me to go to Leeds,” said John.
After a successful screen test, he was called back a few weeks later
to begin shooting in early December.
“It was a fantastic experience; the actors and the crews work really
long hours. It was my first time working on a soap and I have a lot more
respect for them coming away from it,” he said.
The 29-year-old was best known to Irish TV viewers up to now as the
monk who breaks his vow of silence in a Lotto ad.
John has spent the last few years living in London, where he went to
the Central School of Speech and Drama. “I did six months on the West
End with Stones in Their Pockets and I’ve also done television work on
Silent Witness, Trial and Retribution and ITV’s Hornblower,” he said.
He recorded scenes for three episodes of Emmerdale before Christmas,
which are being screened this week. But it is possible he could be called
back to do more work if the scriptwriters bring his character back in.
“The money in soaps isn’t as much as people imagine, but it very much
has to do with how long you’re in a show,” says John.
He joins a long list of Irish actors who’ve had roles in British soaps,
including former Boyzone star Keith Duffy, who is in Coronation Street.
Colm Ó Maonlai had a six-month stint as fireman Tom Banks on
EastEnders last year, while Catherine Cusack played evil nanny Carmel
