The Naylors were axed to freshen the place up and aren't returning. I'm pretty certain Danielle's gone for now, but there's a chance she could return in the future.

Most of these haven't been seen in over six months, shall we just move them to past and every time they should apear they get moved up the list?

It looks really untidy, and I tried to do something to it before, but someone changed it back straight away when I was only trying to make it look more professional.
I think that the layout of the Emmerdale and coronation street pages are much better than the way the Eastenders one is displayed... as in the titles and way the columns are set out and titled. Bankhallbretherton ( talk) 23:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
I noticed the actors for the child roles hadn't been updated for a while, so I researched it. References [2] only refer to the Dowling twins playing the Hopes, and Billy Harrower's last known appearance as Arthur was in 2008. It seems Angelica is also played by only Rebecca Bakes these days also. Thought this was something that I had to note before changing. Ooh, Fruity ( talk) 21:48, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Regarding recent edits made by User:Nocrowx, I feel I have to address the changes made and why I will continue to revert them. Year ranges and details surrounding characters absences are explained in the individual articles (well, most of the more developed ones), it is just silly to discredit Viv and Sandy's year-long absences and Nicola's 18-month gap between appearances. If you took the time to look, there is substantial evidence to support every duration on the page. Regarding the lead, it is currently written in the sense of the character rather than the actor. It does not suggest anything to the contrary, so I fail to see the reason for editing that at all.
Recurring characters has always been a bit of a sore point on these pages, it's a shame you have to bring it up yet again. It is of my belief, and I'm sure others agree since it hasn't been tampered with for a long time, that the children are recurring. I don't see how you could class one or two appearances every few months as a regular character. Ooh, Fruity Ooh, Chatty 23:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC) Maisy Wilde - It's stated that she is returning but there is no citation, is she returning for good or just as part of the exit of the other characters?

Just wondering who the girl was that Andy picked up when her car broke and he towed her back to the village to the garage? she put a jumper up her top to make it look like she was pregnant... who is she and why was she not listed on here? Bankhallbretherton ( talk) 11:15, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Are there actually any sources that state that Roz is a reccurring character? She seems more like a regular now, especially since she has been working at the factory. Same goes for Jerry Walsh, they are not really appropriate in a section that is almost exclusively for small children and other bit part characters like police, lawyers, etc. Vuvuzela2010 ( talk) 21:08, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Ok lets get something straight here,Alan did not leave the cast so he should be included in the present characters not the returning characters,Richard Thorp only took sick leave which isnt a offical departure from a soap,so please keep him in the present characters,Thank you Brianwazere 17:12, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/news/a208143/richard-thorp-returns-to-dales-filming.html This is prove that he was only on sick leave Brianwazere 21:00, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

didnt he go off touring with a friend? there must be some story line to temp wrie him off the screen cause we havent seen him for months! Bankhallbretherton ( talk) 11:22, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Yes but what im saying is it wasn't an offical departure he only took leave for an operation he didnt actually leave the cast Brianwazere 13:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
I have taken out the 1982-2009,2010-present and rectified it to 1982-present on the character list. Richard Thorp only took sick leave and Alan went travelling in the show so that does NOT count as an official departure for the actor or character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benny1982 ( talk • contribs) 20:22, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
I disagree. Alan was offscreen for at least nine months, covering the end of 2009 to the start of 2010. He was noticeably absent from the show so I believe that his absence should be taken into consideration and have the duration recorded as it initially was the: 1982-2009, 2010- 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 17:16, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
I prefer King of Wikipedia seeing as I am male but that's neither here nor there. As I explained on the Coronation Street page, I do not see the point of this "Broad Duration". Alan Turner was noticeably absent from the show for a period of at least ten months between June 2009 and April 2010 so I could not understand why it was changed. It seemed OK before but this "Broad Duration" seems inaccurate and therefore makes it look like Wikipedia is not doing it's job properly which is to record accurate information. 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 16:21, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
He took a break but it was a long break of at least 10 months. Covering the end of 2009 and the start of 2010 which is why I changed it back. Alan was taken off the characters list and Eric Pollard was the first one on the list. Alan was put into the category of returning characters so as a result of this IMO the date should have stayed at 1982-2009, 2010- because it seems more accurate to what actually happened. 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 17:02, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
P.s. I am not saying you are all wrong, RaintheOne. The rest of the characters list is fine by my opinion and I think that whoever compiled it did a good job. It is just with Alan that it seems a bit shaky. 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 17:27, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. In Corrie, Rosie Webster was absent for a period of four months whilst Helen Flanagan took a break from the show but the point is, she left and returned the same year. She was not taken off the cast list but she was included in the returning characters category until she came back. Alan left one year: 2009, was absent for at least ten months and came back the following year: 2010. He was not on the cast list during that time, Eric Pollard was the first one on the list and Alan was in the returning characters category until he returned and was put back on the list. I also noticed how both the durations for Katie Sugden and Laurel Thomas had been altered as well despite the fact that both actresses Sammy Winward and Charlotte Bellamy took considerable time off for maternity leave, both leaving one year: 2005 for Winward and 2009 for Bellamy, and returning the next: 2006 for Winward and 2010 for Bellamy. On both character profiles it lists the producers at the time as introducing them both back into the show. 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 15:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
Turners 8 months away was NOT AN OFFICIAL DEPARTURE. At the time his name never was taken off the character list. 82 you do seem to dislike any opinions that counter yours. I shall change it back to 1982-present. He was offscreen in early 2008 for 5 months and that does not count. Alan has been a continuous character since 1982 and that should be stated. I shall change it back to 1982- if you want to make something of it 82.02020 whatever your name is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benny1982 ( talk • contribs) 10:53, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
I need to add a summary thought of the edit. I shall keep changing it back to 1982- if it is changed back to 1982-2009,2010-. 1982-presnet is correct. Sick leave is not a departure from the soap and I think 82 added Turner to the returning charcters himself and is using his own actions to "attempt" to reiterate his comments and "think" he is right in what he says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benny1982 ( talk • contribs) 17:40, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Does anybody know when exactly Alan's last onscreen appearance before his 2008 absence occurred? Was it in 2007 or 2008 and was his exit on or offscreen? I didn't watch the show at the time so can anyone please enlighten me? 82.38.49.218 ( talk) 17:29, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
If his last onscreen appearance before his 2008 absence was in 2007 then perhaps you could write the duration as 1982-2007, 2008-2009, 2010- so it is included. If his last appearance before his absence was in 2008 then fair enough I agree with you, keep it as it is. 82.38.49.218 ( talk) 19:56, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Hopefully the admin will not take heed of your "suggestions". It should remain 1982-. Benny1982 ( talk) 16:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I know that but on the character list she can be changed to sharma but the main page it links to stays as her maiden name (or at least should do) so techically it should stay as Dingle and shouldnt have reached Tate, have a look at Tracy MacDonald on List of Coronation Street characters as an example.

I have thought for a long time, that all the young kids that are in the show shouldnt be classed as recurring characters as that is not what they strictly are. They are all supposed to be in the village practically all the time with their parents and the reason they dont get that much screen-time is because there are strict rules for the child actors about the amount of hours they can work and also, there's just not that much you can do with pre-pubertal children, eg they cant have independent adult-like conversations with each other away from their parents in the same way that older children such as Belle and Sean can (plus ..er.. something more developing there which should be exciting!), so they cant have their own storylines-they are only used to be seen with their parents and to add to the family dimension of storylines eg Gabby recently and Laurel citing her as a reason to stay with Ashley as she wouldnt get custody of her if they split, not being her natural mother (allthough Gabby will be 11 next year so shouldnt be too long before we start to see her maturing into a character in her own right. And that is what real-life kids do at that age by starting to have their own strong opinions etc and its the same for the soap kids. So a clear distinction can be made-since Gabby is still written for like Sarah rather than Belle then she needs to stay in this category of young kids that I am talking about. btw I wonder if we will see an actress change when the writers do decide to bring on adolescence in Gabby, like they often do, most recently for Victoria Sugden's coming of age in 2006, which was a successfull change as Isobel Hodgins continues to be a great Victoria; sometimes they leave the re-cast too late however, like with Robert Sugden who was allready a teenager and involved in some heavy stories and I think being played well at the time by Christopher Smith. That's not to say I dont think Karl Davies also did a good job. He continued to play a likeable Robert for the next few years. Anyway, appoligies if Im getting off-topic).
So, of all the characters in Emmerdale at the present time, we can divide them into all the main ones, and, the ones who were in the recurring section which I have now named to Young Child Characters as that is what they all are. And as I have just explained that is a distinctive class of characters that will always be in the show-there will always be little kids living with their parents more often mentioned than seen and only really brought out when it suits the script-writers. And thats good-it keeps a sense of reality and family-life. And the new title much more clearly explains what they are. Now, from time to time, a third class of characters who do actualy 'recur' crop up; these would be ones that dont live in the village (at least permanently) or there's something about their situation which suggests they are not going to become part of the scenery, just a couple of examples from this year would be Jerry Walsh and Dan Spencer-while they were in it they were recurring and I am sure they were listed as such on this article. But it's better to keep them separate from the ones who arent really recurring-the young kids cos they are not going anywhere even if theyre not seen much. They are a constant type of character so they deserve to have their own section. And when we next have an adult recurring character we can just create the recurring table again. But please can we keep this table with this name. Hopefully, no-one will disagree with what I am saying here or feel the need to change it back -because what would be the need? It does no harm to keep these characters in this table and create a separate recurring table as and when needed and it makes things a lot more clearer, clean and constant and the article generally better imo. Nocrowx ( talk) 07:19, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
JuneGloom, if you had read properly what I put above, I allready explained about adults-if a new adult character comes in who is recurring then the recurring table can be created again, simple. There would be nothing wrong with having a Young Child Characters table and a recurring table. I mean, whats the point of bunching everyone together? If we can make things clearer by separating the characters into well-defined groups; Main, Young Children and Recurring then why not, whats the harm? You see, I have merely added something-dont think of it as a name change. The recurring table can still exist but only when needed and it will be easier to see a recurring adult without having to find them in the middle of all the kids names that are always there. The fact is, the kids arent recurring because they are as regular characters as the adults in the main list because they 'always exist' in the fictional universe of Emmerdale. But that doesnt mean they should go in the main list either because they dont have their own storylines etc. They arent main or recurring, but they are a feature of the soap and they need to go somewhere which is why I created their own table for them, which they deserve. So, for me its a no-brainer: if your an adult or kid always in the village and/or with sufficient screen-time and with your own storylines or heavy speaking inolvement in storylines, your a main character, if your the child of one of those characters, your a Young Child Character, and if your an adult or child who only visits the village from time to time and is not a mainstay of the soap (eg Jerry and Josh Walsh) then you are a recurring character. I hope I have explained more clearly now, and that people understand where Im coming from. And as for Sean, he fits my first of the three decriptions, just like Belle so is definately a main character too. Nocrowx ( talk) 01:47, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Surely she is a regular as she is in it quite a lot and considering her dad's main storyline at present and we have seen more of her recently than her brother I think that she should be moved to regular as she has been involved with the current main storyline JMRH6 ( talk) 15:00, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
This is just a short post to accompany some minor changes I attempted to make previously to neaten up the article, but were changed back without any meaningfull reason other than 'same-ness'-It's all pretty trivial, but main changes I made: It's just resolving a long-standing thing on this article where there are mix-mash durations that goodness knows who put them there in the very first place as they are not backed up by refs., and the thing is that it just doesnt make sense to say a character appeared, eg '-2013, 2013-', even if they DID make an official departure that wasnt originally intended to be only temporary (which would hardly happen anyway; Nicola circa 2006 was mentioned in edits). And the issue has certainly been alluded to in the past and in fact in the Alan Turner section at top of this talk page there was consensus for the principle of what I have now done-In summary, if a character appears in a callendar year then there is no need to break the continuity eg. 2004-2010 unless they didnt appear at all in one of those years. Nocrowx ( talk) 23:58, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I should add there is a clear exception for Priya, as when she returned in 2011, she was played by a different actress than in 2010 (And I know the kid actors have changed, but they always reguarly do). So Priya is a special case in which showing '2009-2010, 2011-' is acceptable. Nocrowx ( talk) 00:03, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I noticed the actors for the child roles hadn't been updated for a while, so I researched it. References [2] only refer to the Dowling twins playing the Hopes, and Billy Harrower's last known appearance as Arthur was in 2008. It seems Angelica is also played by only Rebecca Bakes these days also. Thought this was something that I had to note before changing. Ooh, Fruity ( talk) 21:48, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Regarding recent edits made by User:Nocrowx, I feel I have to address the changes made and why I will continue to revert them. Year ranges and details surrounding characters absences are explained in the individual articles (well, most of the more developed ones), it is just silly to discredit Viv and Sandy's year-long absences and Nicola's 18-month gap between appearances. If you took the time to look, there is substantial evidence to support every duration on the page. Regarding the lead, it is currently written in the sense of the character rather than the actor. It does not suggest anything to the contrary, so I fail to see the reason for editing that at all.
Recurring characters has always been a bit of a sore point on these pages, it's a shame you have to bring it up yet again. It is of my belief, and I'm sure others agree since it hasn't been tampered with for a long time, that the children are recurring. I don't see how you could class one or two appearances every few months as a regular character.

Are there actually any sources that state that Roz is a reccurring character? She seems more like a regular now, especially since she has been working at the factory.

I have taken out the 1982-2009,2010-present and rectified it to 1982-present on the character list. Richard Thorp only took sick leave and Alan went travelling in the show so that does NOT count as an official departure for the actor or character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benny1982 ( talk • contribs) 20:22, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
I disagree. Alan was offscreen for at least nine months, covering the end of 2009 to the start of 2010. He was noticeably absent from the show so I believe that his absence should be taken into consideration and have the duration recorded as it initially was the: 1982-2009, 2010- 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 17:16, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
I prefer King of Wikipedia seeing as I am male but that's neither here nor there. As I explained on the Coronation Street page, I do not see the point of this "Broad Duration". Alan Turner was noticeably absent from the show for a period of at least ten months between June 2009 and April 2010 so I could not understand why it was changed. It seemed OK before but this "Broad Duration" seems inaccurate and therefore makes it look like Wikipedia is not doing it's job properly which is to record accurate information. 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 16:21, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
He took a break but it was a long break of at least 10 months. Covering the end of 2009 and the start of 2010 which is why I changed it back. Alan was taken off the characters list and Eric Pollard was the first one on the list. Alan was put into the category of returning characters so as a result of this IMO the date should have stayed at 1982-2009, 2010- because it seems more accurate to what actually happened. 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 17:02, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
P.s. I am not saying you are all wrong, RaintheOne. The rest of the characters list is fine by my opinion and I think that whoever compiled it did a good job. It is just with Alan that it seems a bit shaky. 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 17:27, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. In Corrie, Rosie Webster was absent for a period of four months whilst Helen Flanagan took a break from the show but the point is, she left and returned the same year. She was not taken off the cast list but she was included in the returning characters category until she came back. Alan left one year: 2009, was absent for at least ten months and came back the following year: 2010. He was not on the cast list during that time, Eric Pollard was the first one on the list and Alan was in the returning characters category until he returned and was put back on the list. I also noticed how both the durations for Katie Sugden and Laurel Thomas had been altered as well despite the fact that both actresses Sammy Winward and Charlotte Bellamy took considerable time off for maternity leave, both leaving one year: 2005 for Winward and 2009 for Bellamy, and returning the next: 2006 for Winward and 2010 for Bellamy. On both character profiles it lists the producers at the time as introducing them both back into the show. 82.38.41.198 ( talk) 15:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
Turners 8 months away was NOT AN OFFICIAL DEPARTURE. At the time his name never was taken off the character list. 82 you do seem to dislike any opinions that counter yours. I shall change it back to 1982-present. He was offscreen in early 2008 for 5 months and that does not count. Alan has been a continuous character since 1982 and that should be stated. I shall change it back to 1982- if you want to make something of it 82.02020 whatever your name is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benny1982 ( talk • contribs) 10:53, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
I need to add a summary thought of the edit. I shall keep changing it back to 1982- if it is changed back to 1982-2009,2010-. 1982-presnet is correct. Sick leave is not a departure from the soap and I think 82 added Turner to the returning charcters himself and is using his own actions to "attempt" to reiterate his comments and "think" he is right in what he says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benny1982 ( talk • contribs) 17:40, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Does anybody know when exactly Alan's last onscreen appearance before his 2008 absence occurred? Was it in 2007 or 2008 and was his exit on or offscreen? I didn't watch the show at the time so can anyone please enlighten me? 82.38.49.218 ( talk) 17:29, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
If his last onscreen appearance before his 2008 absence was in 2007 then perhaps you could write the duration as 1982-2007, 2008-2009, 2010- so it is included. If his last appearance before his absence was in 2008 then fair enough I agree with you, keep it as it is. 82.38.49.218 ( talk) 19:56, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I have thought for a long time, that all the young kids that are in the show shouldnt be classed as recurring characters as that is not what they strictly are. They are all supposed to be in the village practically all the time with their parents and the reason they dont get that much screen-time is because there are strict rules for the child actors about the amount of hours they can work and also, there's just not that much you can do with pre-pubertal children, eg they cant have independent adult-like conversations with each other away from their parents in the same way that older children such as Belle and Sean can (plus ..er.. something more developing there which should be exciting!), so they cant have their own storylines-they are only used to be seen with their parents and to add to the family dimension of storylines eg Gabby recently and Laurel citing her as a reason to stay with Ashley as she wouldnt get custody of her if they split, not being her natural mother (allthough Gabby will be 11 next year so shouldnt be too long before we start to see her maturing into a character in her own right. And that is what real-life kids do at that age by starting to have their own strong opinions etc and its the same for the soap kids. So a clear distinction can be made-since Gabby is still written for like Sarah rather than Belle then she needs to stay in this category of young kids that I am talking about. btw I wonder if we will see an actress change when the writers do decide to bring on adolescence in Gabby, like they often do, most recently for Victoria Sugden's coming of age in 2006, which was a successfull change as Isobel Hodgins continues to be a great Victoria; sometimes they leave the re-cast too late however, like with Robert Sugden who was allready a teenager and involved in some heavy stories and I think being played well at the time by Christopher Smith. That's not to say I dont think Karl Davies also did a good job. He continued to play a likeable Robert for the next few years. Anyway, appoligies if Im getting off-topic).
So, of all the characters in Emmerdale at the present time, we can divide them into all the main ones, and, the ones who were in the recurring section which I have now named to Young Child Characters as that is what they all are. And as I have just explained that is a distinctive class of characters that will always be in the show-there will always be little kids living with their parents more often mentioned than seen and only really brought out when it suits the script-writers. And thats good-it keeps a sense of reality and family-life. And the new title much more clearly explains what they are. Now, from time to time, a third class of characters who do actualy 'recur' crop up; these would be ones that dont live in the village (at least permanently) or there's something about their situation which suggests they are not going to become part of the scenery, just a couple of examples from this year would be Jerry Walsh and Dan Spencer-while they were in it they were recurring and I am sure they were listed as such on this article. But it's better to keep them separate from the ones who arent really recurring-the young kids cos they are not going anywhere even if theyre not seen much. They are a constant type of character so they deserve to have their own section. And when we next have an adult recurring character we can just create the recurring table again. But please can we keep this table with this name. Hopefully, no-one will disagree with what I am saying here or feel the need to change it back -because what would be the need? It does no harm to keep these characters in this table and create a separate recurring table as and when needed and it makes things a lot more clearer, clean and constant and the article generally better imo. Nocrowx ( talk) 07:19, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
JuneGloom, if you had read properly what I put above, I allready explained about adults-if a new adult character comes in who is recurring then the recurring table can be created again, simple. There would be nothing wrong with having a Young Child Characters table and a recurring table. I mean, whats the point of bunching everyone together? If we can make things clearer by separating the characters into well-defined groups; Main, Young Children and Recurring then why not, whats the harm? You see, I have merely added something-dont think of it as a name change. The recurring table can still exist but only when needed and it will be easier to see a recurring adult without having to find them in the middle of all the kids names that are always there. The fact is, the kids arent recurring because they are as regular characters as the adults in the main list because they 'always exist' in the fictional universe of Emmerdale. But that doesnt mean they should go in the main list either because they dont have their own storylines etc. They arent main or recurring, but they are a feature of the soap and they need to go somewhere which is why I created their own table for them, which they deserve. So, for me its a no-brainer: if your an adult or kid always in the village and/or with sufficient screen-time and with your own storylines or heavy speaking inolvement in storylines, your a main character, if your the child of one of those characters, your a Young Child Character, and if your an adult or child who only visits the village from time to time and is not a mainstay of the soap (eg Jerry and Josh Walsh) then you are a recurring character. I hope I have explained more clearly now, and that people understand where Im coming from. And as for Sean, he fits my first of the three decriptions, just like Belle so is definately a main character too. Nocrowx ( talk) 01:47, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Surely she is a regular as she is in it quite a lot and considering her dad's main storyline at present and we have seen more of her recently than her brother I think that she should be moved to regular as she has been involved with the current main storyline JMRH6 ( talk) 15:00, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
This is just a short post to accompany some minor changes I attempted to make previously to neaten up the article, but were changed back without any meaningfull reason other than 'same-ness'-It's all pretty trivial, but main changes I made: It's just resolving a long-standing thing on this article where there are mix-mash durations that goodness knows who put them there in the very first place as they are not backed up by refs., and the thing is that it just doesnt make sense to say a character appeared, eg '-2013, 2013-', even if they DID make an official departure that wasnt originally intended to be only temporary (which would hardly happen anyway; Nicola circa 2006 was mentioned in edits). And the issue has certainly been alluded to in the past and in fact in the Alan Turner section at top of this talk page there was consensus for the principle of what I have now done-In summary, if a character appears in a callendar year then there is no need to break the continuity eg. 2004-2010 unless they didnt appear at all in one of those years. Nocrowx ( talk) 23:58, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I should add there is a clear exception for Priya, as when she returned in 2011, she was played by a different actress than in 2010 (And I know the kid actors have changed, but they always reguarly do). So Priya is a special case in which showing '2009-2010, 2011-' is acceptable. Nocrowx ( talk) 00:03, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
