Emmerdale<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\nSet in rural Yorkshire, the main issues surrounding our beloved characters at the time were agricultural, or a small bit of drama at the local, The Woolpack \u2013 hardly everyday water cooler moments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBut the enduring power of Emmerdale is in its strength as a true and honest soap, having reinvented itself to turn away from the mundanity of the farm, and into a relevant, powerful and completely gripping soap. It has tackled everything from harrowing cancer storylines to stalking and teen pregnancy among recent times.<\/span><\/p> And as any good soap would and should, Emmerdale also has its fair share of love stories, lies, deceit, and some good old fashioned psychotic serial killers \u2013 I\u2019m looking at you, Meena.<\/span><\/p>\nTo celebrate turning 50, Emmerdale aired a touching and forward-facing hour long special, which opened with a poignant reminder to the past in the form of an exploration of the glorious Yorkshire landscape. <\/span>Long-serving Kim Tate (Claire King) majestically rode her horse through the long grasses before we dived headfirst into the action \u2013 and what a dramatic episode it was. <\/span><\/p>\nThe episode centred itself around Kim\u2019s wedding to Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) which of course wasn\u2019t without its hiccups after she discovered him kissing his old flame Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton) last week. It was harmless \u2013 Will is clearly #TeamKim.<\/span><\/p>
