Emmerdale General News Thread

Walkers in the Yorkshire Dales may come across a terrifying sight this week if they stumble on to the set of a new zombie movie.

Before Dawn, a film about a couple who go away for a weekend and come under attack from zombies, is being shot in the picturesque area this week.

The film, which promises "buckets of fake gore", is being directed by Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt.

Brunt, who plays mild-mannered vet Paddy in the soap, is also starring in the movie.

Before Dawn will be released in cinemas next year.

Emmerdale's series producer Stuart Blackburn has insisted that there are currently no firm plans for the soap to broadcast a live episode next year.

Last month, reports suggested that the ITV1 drama will go live in October 2012 as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations.

However, speaking on This Morning today, Blackburn commented: "The rumours of the live ep are just that - rumours. Just rumours.

"We could do it and never say never. There is a little bit of me that's always excited by that. They're just rumours - but the 40th will be massive."

Show sources have also indicated that Emmerdale's 40th anniversary episode could centre around a big disaster storyline similar to Coronation Street's 50th birthday tram crash stunt.

However, responding to the suggestion, Blackburn said: "Again, it's just rumours. I think there is a danger with these big stunts that eventually from the audience's point of view, it's just another stunt."

Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV1.

LOVED-UP Emmerdale pair Danny Miller and Kirsty-Leigh Porter lark around in the sunshine after giving their rocky romance another chance.
We revealed in March how the lovebirds split amid rumours Danny, 20, had cheated.

He confessed at the time to being a "complete idiot".

Meanwhile Kirsty, 22, who plays Roz Fielding, tweeted that she dumped him because of his "unreasonable behaviour and for being disloyal".

But now she's agreed to take back the British Soap Award-winning Best Actor - Aaron Livesy in the ITV1 soap.

And it looks as if they are more smitten than ever.

The pair were all over each other as they frolicked on a break in the Lake District.

A pal revealed: "When they split Kirsty refused to speak to Danny. But he was determined to win her back and now their relationship is back on track.

"They've been seeing each other again for a couple of weeks and they can't keep their hands off each other, "It's as if they've fallen in love all over again."

Gillian Taylforth has hinted that she would like to land a role in Emmerdale.

The former EastEnders star admitted that she is a fan of the Yorkshire serial, telling OK that she hopes Michelle Collins has paved the way for soap actors and actresses to appear in other serials.

"I love Emmerdale, so maybe you'll see me in the Dales yet," Taylforth told the magazine. "It's great that Michelle Collins is in Corrie. Let's hope she's broken the taboo that you can't go from one soap to another."

The 53-year-old played Albert Square's Kathy Beale for 15 years, before leaving the BBC soap in 2000. The character was killed off screen in a car accident in early 2006.

Taylforth admitted that she was disappointed not to be able to act alongside David Essex, who joined EastEnders as Eddie Moon earlier this month.

"Why am I not in EastEnders now David Essex is coming in?" she complained. "He is really gorgeous. I'd love to run my fingers through his hair. But I am [dead]. Kathy is long gone."

Kathy can always be recarnated it's happened before.

'Emmerdale' star Suzanne Shaw launches PR business

Emmerdale star Suzanne Shaw has launched her own business following her exit from the ITV1 soap.

In April, the former Hear'Say member announced that she had quit her role as flirty Eve Jenson after just over a year to focus more on her family life.

Shaw is now working on building up a theatre PR company called King and Queen PR.

"I'm excited about the future," she told the Daily Star Sunday. "I've always wanted to run my own business and the time finally felt right when I finished at Emmerdale.

"I've been in the industry since I was a child, so a PR company specialising in theatre and the arts seemed like the perfect business for me to start. Acting is still where my heart is but as all actors know you need something else to keep you busy when you're quiet."

Shaw added: "It's been keeping me busy these last few weeks and I'm really enjoying everything that comes with it, even down to working out figures and compiling spreadsheets. I'm now hoping that one day I'll have a business I can pass on to my son."

Shaw has already filmed her final scenes on Emmerdale and her character's exit will air later this summer.

The actress will appear opposite Louie Spence in a Manchester-based production of Cinderella this Christmas.
