ITV Emmerdale fans share plea for change to Faith story be made as they fear end for popular couple

Emmerdale's 50th anniversary celebrations got off to a wind-fuelled start as the storm looming over the Yorkshire Dales started to cause havoc for some of the village's much-loved residents. The ITV soap celebrated its five decades on air on Sunday (October 16) with a special hour-long episode kicking off a week's worth of drama.

Emmerdale fans were delighted earlier this week when Diane Sugden made a return to the Yorkshire village. It may only be a temporary comeback but it came at the perfect time, ahead of the ITV soap's 50th anniversary and Sally Dexter's last scenes as Faith Dingle.

Emmerdale fans were left sobbing on Thursday's hour-long episode as Faith Dingle died after deciding to take her own life amid her devastating cancer battle. Earlier this year, Faith discovered that her breast cancer had returned and it was terminal with her family trying to make her final few months as special as possible. Only recently, Faith told daughter-in-law Moira Dingle about her plan to end her life as her health started to deteriorate amid her cancer battle.

It probably comes as no surprise that there were more tears for viewers of Emmerdale as the latest episode aired. The ITV soap was back on screens on Wednesday evening (October 12) and showed Faith Dingle being surprised with a day at the seaside. While she couldn't make the long trip to Whitby to relive earlier years with her children, Cain, Chas and the rest of the Dingle clan pulled out all the stops and brought the fun to her in the village.

Emmerdale fans wasted no time in complaining as they witnessed Tracy Metcalfe and Nate Robinson rekindle their romance - albeit very briefly. The couple split earlier this year when Tracy, played by Amy Walsh, left the village for a new job with their daughter Frankie in tow.

Emmerdale actress Sally Dexter has told how she and the soap's producers were moved to tears after the husband of late Britain's Got Talent contestant Tina Humphrey detailed her tragic death to help with a storyline. Dog trainer Tina - who wowed television audiences with her dancing blue merle collie Chandi and finished fifth in the final of the 2010 series - fought the aggressive form of cancer, metastasised melanoma, for more than a year before she died at the age of 45 in 2017. And her photographer partner Steve, 66, who met Tina in November 2015, recalled for ITV bosses how she made the heartbreaking decision to end her life by swallowing a toxic cocktail of drugs to honour her in an upcoming plot involving Sally's character Faith Dingle.

Emmerdale fans have said they are 'glad' Aaron Dingle ended up seeing his mum Chas as she cosied up to Al Chapman. As fans of the ITV soap know, Chas and former enemy Al have been secretly having an affair for months as she looks for comfort elsewhere during her mum's terminal cancer battle.

Emmerdale fans have been left fearing for Faith Dingle after she discovered Mackenzie Boyd's secret one-night stand with fellow villager Chloe Harris. Fans of the ITV soap had predicted the Dales' relative newcomer was Mack's mystery woman.

Fans are chomping at the bit to see all the action Emmerdale has planned for its 50th anniversary after plenty of teasing from the ITV soap's producers and with the realse of brand new trailers. The build-up to the huge cataclysmic event has already begun but it isn't until the official birthday episode on October 16th that the action will really begin.

While Emmerdale fans know that Aaron Dingle's return to the village is temporary, they think they have 'worked out' how he'll exit following a telling comment. Danny Miller has reprised the role of Aaron in the ITV soap to coincide with the programme's 50th anniversary celebrations this month.

Some of the stars of Emmerdale have undergone a glam makeover to mark the ITV soap's 50th anniversary. The whole month of October will be littered with drama to mark the special occasion but one week, starting on October 16, will focus on a devastating storm in the village that will affect the lives of every single villager.

Emmerdale fans saw the return of a familiar face as they tuned into the latest installment of the ITV soap. Fans already knew that Danny Miller was reprising his role as Aaron Dingle and the character was seen for the first time during Monday night's episode (October 3) since his emotional exit last year.

Emmerdale fans have been left reeling for all the right reasons after getting a hint at what's to come during the show's 50th anniversary celebrations next month. The ITV soap will be celebrating five decades on air with four weeks worth of action centred around one dramatic week.

Em merdale fans were left distracted on Tuesday's episode as they noticed that Chas Dingle, played by Lucy Pargeter, had a new hairdo and fringe. During the latest instalment, Faith Dingle, who is tragically dying from cancer, wanted her family to have a day of fun as Chas attempted to keep positive while Cain Dingle, as his mother's power of attorney, wanted to talk about her end of life care.
