Emmerdale: Difference between revisions

* [[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

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Its a realistic soap, so this is to be expected.

* [[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.

* [[Oop North]]

* [[Overprotective Dad]]: Cain Dingle is a rather dark example of this. His protectiveness of his daughter has led to him to threaten and beat several men and even on one occasion hit her.

* [[Please Select New City Name]]: The village of Beckindale was renamed to Emmerdale in 1994: in story this was to honour the residents of Emmerdale Farm killed in the plane crash; in the real world it was to avoid viewer confusion as the focus had broadened from the farm to the village.

* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Jack Sugden was hastily written out after actor Clive Hornby became ill, and the character was later killed off following Hornby's death.
