Emmerdale's 50th Birthday Cake!
Emmerdale kicks off its 50th birthday celebrations with cast and producers marking the occasion with a huge cake of The Woolpack.
With the countdown to the huge milestone in October now on, executive producer Jane Hudson reflects on what has made Emmerdale such a success:
“Emmerdale celebrating 50 years is a huge achievement and to be the executive producer at such an exciting time is an honour. For five decades, Emmerdale has kept its audience entertained with incredible storylines and memorable characters. We want to make sure our 50th birthday month is a treat for all our loyal viewers and has them gripped to the edge of their seats as the stories unfold.
"We are very proud to be a jewel in Yorkshire's crown and want to make sure we celebrate our wonderful village and everyone who lives there. Across the month you will see stories which have you in tears, make you laugh out loud and of course, amaze you with some of the most epic stunts you will have ever seen. The Emmerdale team is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to creating drama as its very best, and never before has this been more true.”
