Home and Away icon Emily Symons revealed she isn’t making a grand comeback for Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary.
Recently, it was announced that actors Danny Miller, Amy Walsh, and Elizabeth Estensen will briefly reprise their roles, with substantial storylines promised by the producers.
Presenters Rochelle Humes and Craig Doyle on Thursday’s This Morning couldn’t help but speculate about Emily’s potential return to the ITV soap opera as Louise Appleton.
Although it has been 14 years since Emily’s character Louise Appleton left the show—she made her debut in 2001 and left in 2008—the Australian native has no immediate plans to come back.
‘Not at this time,’ she said.
‘My boss is sitting right there so I can’t say anything.’
No harm in asking!
ITV will also film a one-off special documentary to commemorate the amazing milestone, looking on the past 50 years and showing how a sleepy daily afternoon serial about country residents evolved into the acclaimed, sobering drama it is today.
For the viewers’ entertainment, a blend of vintage Emmerdale snippets and infrequently seen gems will be uncovered from the ITV archives.
The event will feature contributions from beloved cast members from the past and present as they travel back in time and consider how far the soap opera and their characters have progressed.
