    Emmerdale Will Soon Be Blessed

    BOOMING Brian Blessed is joining Emmerdale for a couple of episodes. The 70-year-old son of a miner said: “I’m a Yorkshire lad born and bred so it’s great to be coming home to be in such a terrific series.

    In the two episodes, which will be screened in February, Brian will be playing a friend of Sandy’s called Joe Jacobs.

    Brian said: “I’m a Yorkshire lad born and bred so it’s great to be coming home to be in such a terrific series.

    “Also to work with my old chums Shirley Stelfox, Patrick Mower, Chris Chittell and Freddie Jones! What a prospect and what fun!”

    I am so delighted over this. He`s a brilliant actor and can give Emmerdale the boost it desperately needs.

    From the ITV website:

    Fri 11 Jan

    Emmerdale has announced that veteran actor John Woodvine will make a two-episode cameo later this year.

    John will play the role of Joe Jacobs, a friend of Sandy’s, who arrives in the village in February.

    John replaces Brian Blessed, who was scheduled to play the role.

    An Emmerdale spokesperson said: “Unfortunately Brian was unable to film his scenes due to a last minute clash of schedules. However, we’re thrilled to confirm that the part of Joe will now be played by John Woodvine.”
