Emmerdale has gifted us with some iconic characters while remaining one of the most popular soap operas since the 70s.
The actors always leave us on edge with the latest drama on the farm.
Some of those featured have gone on to enjoy roles in films, big budget shows and reality shows, as well as other ventures outside of acting.
We thought we’d take a look at where the stars went next after their time in Emmerdale came to an end.
From members of the Dingle clan, to icons including Terry Woods and Tricia Dingle, here's a you need to know...
Adele Silva - Kelly Windsor
Adele played Kelly Windsor between 1993 and 2011 with her appearances in the latter years being cameos.
Since her last return to the village, Adele has had roles in Strippers v Werewolves, Casualty and Hollyoaks while recently you might have spotted her in short films Ménage and Bai Bai Barnet.
The 40-year-old has gone on to have a baby with partner Oliver Farber, and often shares her daily activities as a mum on Instagram.
Andy Devine - Shadrach Dingle
Andy, 78, enjoyed the role of lovable rogue Shadrach Dingle on Emmerdale for 12 years.
He was nominated for The British Soap Award for Best Exit after his alcoholic tendencies led him to die in a river after drinking too much.
The actor had parts in Monroe and Doctors after leaving the ITV soap opera, but on record hasn’t appeared in TV and films since 2011.
Roxanne Pallett - Jo Sugden
Roxanne played Jo for three years on the show and was nominated for several awards.
She went on to appear in several horror films including Lake Placid 3, Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort, and Devil's Tower.
The star then went on to appear in numerous reality shows from Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes, Soapstar Superstar, and Dancing On Ice.
But, of course the 38-year-old is now best known for her stint on Celebrity Big Brother House. Roxanne accused former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas of abusing her with a punch, when in fact Big Brother saw that it didn't happen.
She became what she described to Emma Willis as 'the most hated person in Britain' and has kept a low profile.
Roxanne has since told Mail Online that she now doesn't regret 'punch gate' and has shared it with new husband Jason. She said: "'He knows everything, I don't hide anything from him, I'm so transparent."
