Saturday Morning host James Martin once responded after a former soap star tipped him for a role on Emmerdale. So could he appear on the popular soap opera?
The comment came as actor Debra Stephenson appeared on his ITV show James Martin’s Saturday Morning in April. The former Corrie star, who played Frankie Baldwin on the soap, suggested that James might be a shoo-in for a role.
Could James Martin appear on Emmerdale? “They’d love to have you!” Debra suggested.

Appearing on Saturday Morning in April, Debra discussed her previous work on Coronation Street. She played the wife of Danny Baldwin from 2004 till 2007.
“That was a long time ago,” Debra said, when queried about her role on the soap. “Even if my name gets mentioned on Corrie or Emmerdale, it’s bigger than anything else I’ve done in my life,” James enthused.
“Well, I mean, I’m sure they’d love to have you on Emmerdale – you’re a local lad aren’t you?” Debra suggested. “I don’t know about that, but anyway,” he laughed, bashfully.
“You’d get a cameo, definitely,” Debra told him. Move over Marlon – could the celebrity chef join the cast of Emmerdale?
James previously spoke about his career in showbiz and TV. In December 2022, James opened up about retirement.
Asked about life ‘after stardom’, James reflected to absolutelyyorkshire.co.uk: “York is really something special, I’ll end up retiring up there most certainly. It’s a lovely part of the world.”
