Like all soaps, Emmerdale just couldn't get by without a bit of old fashioned romance - and the fall-out that usually comes with it.
We've seen blissful happy endings as well as lives ruined by love on the Dales.
But those on-screen relationships are just the start.
Off camera, there's been plenty of love stories as well as tons of behind-the-scenes gossip to be found to keep fans entertained.
Some of the stars found romance with each other on set, and a few of the couples might even surprise you.
The Hull Daily Mail have been looking for the love stories the show's writers don't even come up with...
Natalie J Robb and Johnny McPherson
According to reports, Natalie J Robb and Johnny McPherson have been dating since the beginning of last year and it looks like things have gotten rather serious.
The acting duo currently live together and news of their romance first broke when they appeared together on a Zoom call to celebrate their co-star Liam Fox's 50th birthday last June.
They’ve yet to confirm their relationship but all signs suggest they are very much an item.
Jeff Hordley and Zoe Henry
Jeff, who plays fan favourite Cain Dingle, married Zoe back in 2003. Jeff joined the show in 2000 and Zoe plays Rhona Goskirk in the village soap.
Despite being reunited, the pair didn't meet on the Emmerdale farm set. They met in drama school. They now reside in the Yorkshire Dales home with their family.
Jeff previously told Soaplife: "We met at drama school in 1994, I saw Zoe and realised she was the girl for me."
Jeff and Zoe have two children together called Violet and Stan.
Michelle Hardwick and Kate Brooks
Michelle Hardwick, who plays Vanessa Woodfield, proposed to the show’s producer Kate Brooks with a romantic flash mob, and the couple married in Memphis, Tennessee.
In 2018, Michelle confirmed the romance on Twitter and they tied the knot a year later.
Hardwick gave birth to their first son Edward Peter Brooks, who they nicknamed Teddy, last October.
Dominic Brunt and Joanne Mitchell
Dominic, who of course plays the popular Paddy Kirk, has been married to Joanne Mitchell since 2003.
The pair met at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.
Emmerdale fans have seen Joanne crop up in guest parts and will remember her as Sandra Flaherty, the stepmother of Aaron Livesy.
Dominic and Joanne have worked together on projects outside of the soap including a horror film - who said romance is dead?
The couple have a son named Danny together.
Fiona Wade and Simon Cotton
Fans will know Fiona as Priya Sharma in the soap while Simon played Home Farm Estate client Hugh Bryant.
After getting engaged, Fiona told Lorraine: "It was a sequence of clues, involving my best friends and my mother.
"He took me to this beautiful hotel in London, then he took me to my home where my dad passed away.
"It was candles and flowers and then the next day we went to Paris."
The pair got engaged in 2018, and although they no longer work together on Emmerdale is was the launch of their careers and their romance together.
Chris Chitell and Lesley Dunlop
The stars, who play Eric Pollard and Brenda Walker, are married in real life.
They have shared many scenes together, including kissing scenes in lockdown which had confused fans at first.
They first became a couple back in 2008 and then got hitched eight years later in June 2016.
Their characters did have a brief fling on the show in 2012, but Chris and Lesley asked writers to avoid making them a long-term pairing on Emmerdale.
Lesley has two sons from a previous relationship.
Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden
Possibly these two are the most well-known of all Emmerdale’s real life couples.
Co-stars Charley and Matthew married in 2018 after a nine-year relationship. Charley plays Debbie Dingle and Matthew is known as David Metcalfe.
The co-stars have three children together called Buster, Bowie and Ace.
Chelsea Halfpenny and James Baxter
Last year, it was reported former Emmerdale stars Chelsea Halfpenny and James Baxter were dating.
Chelsea, who played Amy Wyatt until 2013, has shared several photos with James, who played Jake Doland, on social media.
It is thought their romance blossomed during their time together working on Emmerdale.
