The warring Emmerdale enemies who are actually friends in real life

Emmerdale has seen some pretty epic battles between characters over the years but you’ll be relieved to know the animosity hasn’t carried on off-screen.

Soapland is filled with epic rivalries and Emmerdale has enjoyed their fair share of flare ups in the village down the years.

Using some assistance from our colleagues at the Liverpool Echo we’ve taken a look to see whether warring characters are actually friendly in real life.

You can tell us any other close Emmerdale friendships we might have forgotten by commenting at the bottom of this article or by telling us on Facebook.

Michael Parr and Ryan Hawley

Ross Barton and Robert Sugden were never going to be best of friends in Emmerdale.

Their feuding lasted for around three years and included blackmail and Ross shooting Robert.

But in the real world, after filming finished they would hang out together and admire what each other bring to the table.

Michael previously revealed that he would have liked them to have made amends on the show.
