Emmerdale boss Jane Hudson has given another teaser of what to expect from the ITV soap’s 50th anniversary celebrations later this year.
A ‘golden month of celebrations’ is being promised for the milestone in October. We are expecting some major storylines and a few blasts from the past to return.
Although, one thing we do know is that there will be no live episode, which will likely come as a relief to the cast. Speaking to The Sun, Jane Hudson said: “We’ve been thinking about the 50th all the time.

"I think we probably held back some of our big ideas while covid was so prominent in our lives because we didn’t know what we could achieve. But Super Soap Week has really shown us what we can do. And as brilliant as stunts are - we’ve got to have the stories to back up those stunts. We can blow up anything but if there’s no story behind it - what’s the point?”
Jane said there will be a birth in the soap and some of the dramatic anniversary storyline will leave repercussions which will run all the way through to 2023. The Emmerdale boss concluded: “Our focus at the moment is to really build those stories so when we get to our golden month of celebration, we’ve got secrets that the viewers are desperate to be revealed.”
