Sort of. He was in the first episode but was in and out of it for the first few years. He then vanished for a few years and was only brought back in 1980 when Clive Hornby took over the role which was now full time. Technically then he isn't an original but is a name associated from the beginning of the show. When Annie Sugden left in the mid 90s that was the last original character gone (without breaks). Before Seth died (in real life and on screen) he was the longest serving actor and the last remaining actor from the 70s. Only Jack, Alan and Eric remain from the Farm days.

It would be good if they could still get Annie back (his mum) and Annie's hubby Amos who ran the Woolpack for many years with Henry Wilks. However they're both nearly 90 so that would be tough.
the man who played amos died a couple of weeks ago i was really upset about that so he cant come back,
