Emmerdale celebrate 50th anniversary with giant Woolpack cake as they tease 'epic stunts' and tear-jerking storylines

Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley has shared the poignant reason she and her fiancé Al, won’t ever make it down the aisle. Unlike her soap alter ego Mandy Dingle, Lisa, 46, has sworn off any big white dress and fancy ceremony following the loss of both her own mother and her future mother-in-law to cancer.

Emmerdale fans were flocking to social media to praise the soap after it aired the tear-jerking wedding between Marlon Dingle and Rhona Goskirk. The big day had been a long time coming for the couple and was almost off altogether when Marlon was admitted to the hospital with high blood pressure.

Emmerdale fans were left in tears on Thursday (11 August) after Marlon Dingle managed to walk down the aisle to marry Rhona Goskirk. Marlon, played by Mark Charnock, suffered a life-threatening stroke earlier this year and has not been able to walk ever since, but he was determined to walk down the aisle on his wedding day.
