“When are you back on Emmerdale you’ve not been in it for a while,” one begged to know.

Where is Mandy in Emmerdale?
Mandy hasn’t been on screens for a while.
The last time we saw her on-screen was at the end of March when she reflected on the anniversary of what would have been her wedding day to Paul Ashford.
Paul was killed in an explosion on their big day, but Mandy’s grief quickly became anger when she discovered Paul had been beating his son Vinny.
Mandy’s last big storyline saw her upset over Liv and Vinny getting married in secret.
She eventually forgave them when they made her guest of honour at their wedding celebrations.
No storyline details for Mandy’s comeback have been given, but with cousin Chas starting an affair with Al Chapman, perhaps this paves the way for a Mandy and Paddy reunion?
Emmerdale usually airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV, with an hour episode on Thursdays.
