September 22nd 2024.
As the month began, Emmerdale fans were ecstatic when their beloved show was announced as the winner of the highly coveted Best Soap award at the National Television Awards. The win came as a complete surprise to the cast, who were in attendance at the Cure Usher Ball hosted by their co-stars Laura Norton and Mark Jordon. When we caught up with actors Zoe Henry, Emma Atkins, and Charlotte Bellamy, they couldn't contain their shock and excitement about the big win.
Zoe, who plays local vet Rhona Goskirk, shared, "Charlotte and I were there and we were quite shocked. All the other soaps have been exceptional this year. It's not that we don't think we're worthy of it, we just didn't think it was going to be our year, and it was! So, there were shocked faces and they were for real." It's clear that the cast is humbled and grateful for the recognition, especially with the tough competition they faced.
This past year, Emmerdale has tackled some major storylines, from Heath Hope's tragic death to Marty Barton's harrowing prison experience, Moira Barton's battle with a brain tumour, and Tom King's abuse of Belle Dingle. Emma, who portrays Charity Dingle, teased that Belle's storyline with Tom will have a dramatic ending. "I think Belle deserves a bit of a break now, and she's wholeheartedly going to get one for a while," she shared. "But, obviously, they've got to wrap that up in some way, so there's a lot more excitement in that." It's safe to say that fans can expect a lot of twists and turns as this storyline reaches its conclusion.
In addition to the drama surrounding Tom and Belle, there's also a new romance on the horizon for Laurel Thomas and vicar Charles Anderson. Charlotte, who plays Laurel, couldn't help but joke about her character's love life, exclaiming, "I jump on the vicar!" This revelation came as a shock to her co-star Emma and former Emmerdale actress Katherine Dow Blyton, who had joined them on the red carpet. Zoe chimed in, referencing Laurel's past marriage to beloved vicar Ashley Thomas, saying, "Not for the first time!" Katherine then playfully teased, "She loves somebody in a dog collar. Although, she never jumped on Harriet!" It's clear that there's always a little bit of humor and camaraderie among the cast, even on the red carpet.
With so many exciting storylines still to come, Emmerdale will continue to captivate viewers and bring the drama to our screens. And with their latest award, they now have even more reason to celebrate and showcase their talents. Congratulations, Emmerdale! Here's to many more years of success and surprises.
