I was at my Salford college friends wedding years ago and one of the guys from my year Matt Heally (Jock) was in Emmerdale playing a baddie - Matthew King. He was dating an Aussie actress Emily Symons who was also in the show.
When he introduced me I promptly did a ‘Starlite’ and announced to her that I was the only girl in my year who didn’t fancy Jock! 😂
That night a load of the cast turned up which was surreal to say the least… no fights that night though!
Another great read for us Northerners. It’s easy to forget where we all came from and this brings it all back. Soaps have always mystified me and have never been a fan now I see why and my arse cheeks also clamped together during that video. A nasty business. I look forward to these Saturday articles - it makes my day.
So lovely to read about Phil. I lost contact with him in the 80s. I moved away from Burnley. R.I.P Phil. Thank you Christian for this story. Brought a smile. Fond memories
Love your stories Christian.
