Annie Sugden lived to a ripe old age of 100. She was a tough Yorkshire lass

I clearly remember hearing the news of Clive Hornby's sad death. My husband and I said it was awful as he was only 63. Two days later my husband died completely unexpectedly of cardiac arrest, aged 51. You just never know what's around the corner.

If fifty Emmerdale actors have died it says it all, it’s been going on for too long and needs wrapping up.

Not even an emerdale fan. But it was part of growing up. In the 90s we only had 5 channels. Most of us didn’t have sky. So that meant the soaps were always played. It was tradition to go to my grandmas house for tea on a Sunday. That’s a tea with homemade scones, Jam Tarts, Pies etc. And we would always watch the soaps. Emmerdale was always the first on at 7pm. So even though I didn’t watch it really I still remember all of these characters. And it’s sad because my grand parents are all dead and I have started to lose my aunties and uncles. I am 36 now with 2 kids. Even though it is sad to see all these actors die, it brings a smile to my face and I can say I had a happy childhood and they were part of it

Richard thorpe aka Alan turner used to frequently stop at a petrol station near where I live for his petrol and wine.. met him in there a few times and often would chat to him, lovely guy, funnily enough my old man used to valet/clean Richard's car during the mid to late 90s when still has his valet business.. tho we never knew him too personally..but still cool that he was somewhat in/around my life during my early years. Lovely guy and a legendary legacy actor on TV for Emmerdale

I used to work with George Little's Son-in-Law at a hotel in Telford.
They used the function room there to celebrate his 90th birthday, and Fraser Hines attended. As a fan of Doctor Who and a 90s kid, I thought it was pretty cool. 😁
