Episode 2540 (23rd June 1999)

Plot

The glitz and glamour of the 'Tinsletown' envelopes Emmerdale when Tricia holds a 'Hollywood' theme night in The Woolpack. The pub quickly fills with the stars of the sliver screen, and Tricia basks in the glory dressed as sex bomb Emma Peel. But, just as Tricia begins to celebrate the success of the evening, trouble strikes, when she realises that she has booked a Marilyn Monroe drag act rather than a look alike. Will Alan see the funny side? As chaos descends in The Woolpack, Biff decides it's the moment to strike and proposes to Kathy. But he is unprepared for her reaction. Angie uses underhanded means to persuade Sean to sign the contract on a new house. And Chris learns hell has no fury, when he takes Laura out to dinner.
