Last year, viewers of the popular ITV soap Emmerdale were saddened by the news of Steve Halliwell's passing. The legendary actor, known for his role as Zak Dingle, passed away peacefully at the age of 77, surrounded by his loved ones. His family released a statement, expressing their gratitude for the care and kindness shown by the staff at St James Hospital and Wheatfield Hospice during his final days. They also shared that Steve had a great sense of humor and cherished his family above all else.
Emmerdale also paid tribute to Steve and his iconic character, Zak Dingle. They shared the sad news with heavy hearts and asked for privacy for Steve's family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. They described Steve as the heart and humor of the Dingle family, and his presence will forever be felt on the show.
Since his passing, Zak has been noticeably absent from the show. The unruly Dingle clan, of which Zak was a proud member, has been a part of Emmerdale since 1994. However, the show must go on, and Zak's character will be missed by all. It has been explained that he is currently living in Scotland, and his character has been mentioned a few times since his last appearance in June.
One of these mentions was when his daughter Belle called him to ask for his blessing for her marriage to Tom King. Unfortunately, the past few months have been far from joyful for the couple, as Tom's manipulative and abusive behavior has taken center stage in their storylines. Zak's absence has also been felt during their wedding, as he was too unwell to attend. However, he made sure to send his best wishes to the newlyweds.
