EMMERDALE is bringing back a major legend for Zak Dingle?s funeral - and it?s going to be bad news for Mandy.
The ITV soap will soon say goodbye to Zak after news reaches the village that the beloved patriarch has died in Scotland with granddaughter Debbie.
Zak?s death comes after actor Steve Halliwell passed away last year with the soap paying tribute to the legend in the upcoming episodes.
Due to air later this month, the funeral episode was an emotional one with stars in tears filming.
But now Lisa has revealed that there?s a big return from the past turning up.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the Inside Soap Awards she said: ?We filmed Steve?s memorial episode which goes out soon and it?s incredible.
?So so emotional. Tears all round. Really lovely though and for all us Dingles to be there.
?It was emotional to film but there is going to be someone coming from the past who will have repercussions for Mandy and Paddy and Vinnie especially moving forward.?
While she wouldn?t be drawn on who the big return is, she did rule out one - actress Adele Silva as Kelly Windsor.
But Lisa would love for her old pal to make a shock return.
