2018 was Emmerdale's 47th year. Production was overseen by Iain MacLeod until producer Kate Brooks took over the reigns and was later joined by producer Laura Shaw and executive producer Jane Hudson later in the year.
323 episodes were broadcast during the year. Major storylines included Charity Dingle’s fight for justice against her childhood rapist Mark Bails and the subsequent discovering of her long-lost son Ryan Stocks, Paddy Kirk and Chas Dingle losing their baby daughter Grace, the affair between Laurel Thomas and Bob Hope, Sarah Sugden’s illness battle and heart transplant, the acid attack on Ross Barton which was inadvertently caused by Debbie Dingle, Lachlan White’s murder spree, the kidnapping of Amelia Spencer, the temporary return of Kim Tate and Joe Tate’s disappearance, which led to Graham Foster manipulating Cain Dingle to believe that he had killed him.
Production[]
2018 was the last year of Iain MacLeod as a producer, his last episode being Episode 8230 (13th August 2018) before Kate Brooks took over as the sole producer of the show until she was joined by Laura Shaw and Jane Hudson as producer and executive producer respectively as of Episode 8347/8348 (25th December 2018).
The year featured a number of exits from fan favourite characters. The entire White family was gone by the end of the year with Louise Marwood and John Bowe leaving their roles as Chrissie and Lawrence, respectively, in a car crash stunt which killed both characters in January. The crash was caused by Chrissie’s son Lachlan, played by Thomas Atkinson, who went on to kill a further two people and hold his aunt Rebecca, played by Emily Head, against her will for two months. Lachlan departed the village in September when he was arrested for his crimes. He made a brief return the following January. Rebecca joined Ross Barton on his travels to Liverpool for a fresh start in November, as actor Michael Parr left the series after five years to pursue other projects. Shaun Thomas’s character Gerry Roberts was killed off in May as part of the Lachlan story.
Adam Thomas departed as Adam Barton in January, when he went on the run after being falsely accused of murdering Emma Barton. Freddie Jones made his final appearance as Sandy Thomas in February, whilst John Middleton returned as Sandy’s son Ashley for two episodes the same month in a video message, after Ashley died the previous year. Jane Cox temporarily left her role as Lisa Dingle in May. Her on-screen husband Zak also temporarily left the village in October due to actor Steve Halliwell’s health problems. The former returned to the programme in March 2019, and the latter did so in May. Another temporary exit came in the form of Leyla Harding as Roxy Shahidi left to have her first child in January. Leyla returned in October.
Ned Porteous left his role as Joe Tate after just a year when his character fled the village in October. He was believed to have been killed off, but five months later it was revealed that this was not true. This was part of the highly publicised return of Kim Tate, played by Claire King, who had not been seen in the village for nineteen years. The special return week in October was given the slogan ‘They All Fall Down’. Kim departed at the end of the week, but returned on a full-time basis in March 2019.
Cast additions included Sandra Marvin’s character Jessie Grant becoming a series regular and striking up a romance with Marlon Dingle, and the arrival of her feuding sons Ellis Chapman and Billy Fletcher, played by Asan N'Jie and Jay Kontzle, respectively. Olivia Bromley joined the cast as Dawn Taylor, a friend of Ross Barton, in April, and joined the regular cast in December. Rebecca Sarker also joined the cast as Manpreet Jutla. Another new arrival for the year was James Moore as Ryan Stocks, the long-lost son of Charity Dingle, who was tracked down as part of her abuse storyline. James went on to win the National Television award for Best Newcomer for the role. Liam Cavanagh, played by Jonny McPherson, was also promoted to the regular cast after years of fleeting appearances. Louisa Clein joined the programme as Liam’s ex-wife Maya Stepney. The character began a relationship with David Metcalfe, and began to seduce David’s stepson Jacob Gallagher in a controversial grooming plot. Ash Palmisciano joined the cast as Matty Barton in a story which saw mother Moira discover that Matty, formerly known as Hannah, had transitioned without her knowledge.
Viewership[]
The average viewing figure for the year was 6.45 million viewers, which was up 10,000 on 2017. From 27th August onwards, BARB began incorporating viewing data from tablets, PCs and smartphones, which gave a small boost to the programme's figures. The most-watched episode of the year was Episode 8045 (17th January 2018), with 7.72 million viewers, while the least-watched episode was Episode 8196 (6th July 2018), with 4.98 million viewers. 66 episodes ranked within the weekly top 10 for all UK TV, which was 26 more than the year before.
