I do remember a time and I can quite easily imagine a time without - looking to a future without 'Emmerdale.'
I've been spoilt with 'Emmerdale' over the years. I've had a taste of high drama, action, explosive scenes, emotional scenes and the odd bit of comedy with Bernice.
Emmerdale's been great. I'm very biased but I think it's in a really good place.
Emmerdale' is a great place to work and I genuinely wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be.
I felt that as an actor I continued to excel and felt really comfortable and confident in myself that I wanted to at least give it a go and picture myself doing other things. It was testament to 'Emmerdale' that they gave me the confidence and creativity to pursue other challenges.
I've always had aspirations to play other characters, but over the years I've always felt so happy and so challenged at 'Emmerdale.'
I think what 'Emmerdale' are excited about is that my exit storyline is the catalyst for other storylines for characters like Chrissie and Lawrence.
Emmerdale' is and always will be in my DNA.
Twenty years is a long time and it's been an incredible 20 years. I'm so grateful to 'Emmerdale' for what they have given me throughout that period.
When I arrived at 'Emmerdale,' Clive was the one person I got really starstruck about. It was weird, I was there with my dad and he said, 'There's Jack Sugden.' He was lovely, very welcoming and absolutely massive.
I'm very proud of some of the stories I've been given thanks to the team at 'Emmerdale,' they've been great over the years so hopefully that will continue.
There's no denying for me that 'Emmerdale' is an amazing place to work. I've got so much to be grateful for. Over the years it's given me a great sense of purpose and a real sense of belonging.
I've always enjoyed the big stunt scenes that I've had - from the barn fire when I first started in 'Emmerdale,' to years later when Victoria started a fire and Andy had to rescue people.
