Line 11:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Book Ends]]: Jack Sugden returned to the village for his father's funeral, and his biolgical son Robert returned for Jack's.
* [[British Accents]]: Though only a few still speak with a [[Oop North|recognisable Yorkshire accent.]]
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Chris Tate who upon discovering his wife had been cheating on him with his enemy - and her cousin - Cain Dingle went after Cain with a gun then decided Charity was the one he truly hated so he committed suicide and framed her for murder (having recently discovered he had months to live). Cain Dingle himself definitely fits this trope: after being rejected by Angie he stalked her and frightened off any man she got involved with until she was so desperate that she tried to framed him for a crime. He also attacks and/or threatens any man who shows interest in Charity
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Jackson}} via assisted suicide
* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|Dropped A Plane On Them]]: One of the most famous
* [[Kissing Cousins]]: played VERY, VERY straight with the Dingles, to the point that there's at least one definite (though slightly averted in that they were Second cousins) case of progeny, Debbie, who is surprisingly a lot more stable than either of her parents, except for her own propensity for incest for nearly 2 years. this has been lampshaded by other characters repeatedly. the main offenders being: Charity/Cain, Charity/Marlon, Eli/Debbie, Eli/Chas, a brief one-sided Eli/Gennie, the list goes on.▼
* [[Geographic Flexibility]]: Applies a little bit to the village itself, but more pertinently to the nearby town of Hotton, which is as big or small and contains as many or as few bars/shops/attractions as are currently necessary for the plot.
** Not quite, given that Hotton is a supposed [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|copy of Haughton, South Yorkshire]].
** Location scenes based in Hotton are usually filmed in the town of Otley, close to the TV studios in Leeds where the show is filmed. Until the late 1990s, an actual village, Esholt, was used for exterior scenes of the village, until a purpose-built set was built on the grounds of a stately home close to Leeds.* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Its a realistic soap, so this is to be expected.
* [[Invisible to Gaydar]]: Aaron and Jackson; to a lesser extent, former characters Jason and Joe.▼
▲* [[Kissing Cousins]]: played VERY, VERY straight with the Dingles, to the point that there's at least one definite (though slightly averted in that they were Second cousins) case of progeny, Debbie, who is surprisingly a lot more stable than either of her parents, except for her own propensity for incest for nearly 2 years. this has been lampshaded by other characters repeatedly. the main offenders being: Charity/Cain, Charity/Marlon, Eli/Debbie, Eli/Chas, a brief one-sided Eli/Gennie, the list goes on.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The villagers have noted to themselves that the village isn't as peaceful as it should be.
* [[My Local]]: The Woolpack.▼
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: A few times with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwL6rcR_7yQ Roxanne Pallett].
** Maisie Wylde, no less.
▲* [[My Local]]: The Woolpack.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Are you seriously going to threaten ''Cain'' Dingle? Yes, it's a recurring theme to use Biblical names in Emmerdale.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Marlon is this to the rest of the Dingles.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Retool]]: From 2003 onwards.
* [[Soapland Christmas]]: The murder of Tom King on his wedding day (on Christmas Day) in 2006 is probably the most famous one.
▲* [[Invisible to Gaydar]]: Aaron and Jackson; to a lesser extent, former characters Jason and Joe.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Moira Barton (well, her accent is).
