Baker will play Diane Sudgen’s puzzling new date. <\/p>
The cast of Emmerdale<\/a>\u00a0is adding Colin Baker to its ranks as the Doctor Who<\/a> actor joins the long-running ITV soap for a cameo appearance later this month.<\/p>\n ITV has even given some details teasing what we can expect from the Sixth Doctor\u2019s time on the farm, saying in a statement: \u201cWhen Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen) arranges to meet a man for a date in the pub she\u2019s unprepared for his strange passion. Will her date Michael (Colin Baker) impress or disappoint her?\u201d<\/p>\n What could that passion be? Well, Baker himself gave viewers a clue, stating that his involvement was \u201ca bit of a puzzle,\u201d hint, hint.<\/p> Baker said: \u201cI am so old that I remember watching Emmerdale Farm long before it became just Emmerdale when my friend (and colleague from Doctor Who days) Frazer Hines was a youthful Joe Sugden and the wonderful Arthur Pentelow was in the cast.<\/p>\n \u201cSo to get a call to join the cast, albeit briefly, as a possible love interest for Elizabeth Estenson, an actress I had long admired,\u00a0certainly appealed to me. A bonus was the fact that also in my scenes was Rodney Blackstock, played by my old friend Patrick Mower. I enjoyed my COVID compliant time with both of them in Leeds inordinately.\u00a0As to what happened, well you\u2019ll just have to watch and find out. It\u2019s a bit of a puzzle actually!\u201d<\/p>\n Considering he had such a great time on the show, is it possible that he could return as Diane\u2019s puzzling love interest in the future? We\u2019ll have to tune in and see.<\/p>\n Baker will play Diane Sudgen’s puzzling new date. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":4148,"template":"","categories":[2],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/doctor-who-star-colin-baker-to-make-emmerdale-cameo.jpg",1920,1080,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/doctor-who-star-colin-baker-to-make-emmerdale-cameo-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/doctor-who-star-colin-baker-to-make-emmerdale-cameo-300x169.jpg",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/doctor-who-star-colin-baker-to-make-emmerdale-cameo-768x432.jpg",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/doctor-who-star-colin-baker-to-make-emmerdale-cameo-1024x576.jpg",800,450,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/doctor-who-star-colin-baker-to-make-emmerdale-cameo-1536x864.jpg",1536,864,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/09\/doctor-who-star-colin-baker-to-make-emmerdale-cameo.jpg",1920,1080,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Baker will play Diane Sudgen's puzzling new date.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/4147"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
