Emmerdale fans have had plenty to say after seeing a photo of two popular soap characters together.
Viewers will know that Chas Dingle's marriage to Paddy broke down after he discovered she was having an affair with village bad boy Al Chapman.
Chas had planned to leave Paddy for Al, with the two keen to start a new life together. But their scheme was ruined when Al was shot dead in an episode that aired around Emmerdale's 50th birthday celebrations last year.

Al, played by Michael Wildman, was killed after Chas' brother Cain Dingle uncovered the affair. Cain lured Al to a barn outside the village.
But in a huge twist, Al was actually shot by Cain's young son Kyle. In the aftermath of the shooting, Chas was left devastated, while Paddy's mental health quickly deteriorated as he grieved his broken marriage.
Now many fans have joked that Al is "still alive" after Chas actress Lucy Pargeter shared a photo of herself and Michael Wildman on social media.
Along with the snap, Lucy tweeted: "Reunited" with a winking face and a heart emoji. Soap lovers have been quick to reply to the tweet.
Pauly H said: "Big Al is alive after all! Good pic", while Emma said: "Oh he's alive, dun dun dunnnn" [sic]. Cheryl said: "Wait, he's not really dead?" Caroline said: "Boo, we love Paddy", while Tanya said: "Would have been to see how things worked out with Chas and Al".
