Fans of Emmerdale<\/a> will be pleased to know there are some returning characters on their way for the big 50th-anniversary celebration in October.<\/p>\n

Taking place over the whole month (but peaking in a big stunt week), the ITV soap will celebrate the past, present and future of Emmerdale with the help of massive storylines and a few familiar faces.<\/p>\n

Diane Sugden (played by Elizabeth Estensen), Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) will all be making their way back to the village on a \u201ctemporary basis\u201d.<\/p>\n

As for what\u2019s coming up for them, Diane will no doubt be wrapped up in the drama at Home Farm as Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) prepares to marry Kim Tate (Claire King), which won\u2019t be smooth sailing at all.<\/p>

Aaron also has a lot to catch up on \u2013\u00a0his mum\u2019s having an affair and Liv\u2019s mum Sandra is causing all kinds of mayhem, which Aaron will no doubt have a big say on.<\/p>\n

As for Tracy, we\u2019re promised she has a secret of her own to reveal which will surely cause some more drama.<\/p>\n

At the moment, they are the only three characters confirmed to return, but according to Jeff Hordley and Katherine Dow-Blyton, there could be some more surprises in store.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> at the recent launch for the 50th anniversary, the pair were asked if there were any more returnees on the way, to which Dow-Blyton admitted:\u00a0\u201cNot to my knowledge, but we\u2019re not told much until the last minute because we\u2019re not to be trusted with any facts or storylines, so we\u2019re the last to know!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hordley teasingly added: \u201cSometimes it can even surprise us, so you never know what the producers have got up their sleeves\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
