Who is returning for Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary?
Elizabeth Estensen who plays Diane Sugden, and Amy Walsh as Tracy Metcalfe, will also return to screens for the big celebration.
They are only temporarily returning, but the drama is set to be explosive.
Speaking to press at a recent event, producer Kate Brooks said: “We also have the return of some very familiar faces to the Dales.
“Diane, Aaron and Tracy will all be making a re-appearance, albeit on a temporary basis, but they’ll be at the heart of some really big stories that will impact their lives.”
Danny Miller returns to the Dales after fans’ plea
Danny Miller departed Emmerdale last year after Aaron’s sister, Liv, was accused of murdering his boyfriend, Ben.
He felt he could no longer live in the village after all the heartbreak he had suffered.
Recently, fans demanded Danny return to the soap after the actor was allegedly forced to shut down his acting company after it reportedly racked up a debt of over £120k.
On Entertainment Daily‘s Facebook Page, one fan said: “Miss Aaron. Fantastic actor. C’mon Emmerdale bring him back on our screens, also Rob.”
A second commented: “Brilliant actor, please come back to Emmerdale.”
A third added: “Bring him back to Emmerdale, the soap needs him. His soap mum and sister need him, give him a break.”
Another added: “Get back to Emmerdale. You’re needed there.”
