It’s been a busy twelve months for ‘Emmerdale’ and there’s been plenty of dramas entertaining viewers which also impressed the judging panel.

"It looks like the most professional of the soaps at the moment. It's doing everything it can to get it right,” one panelist said, according to Digital Spy.
There have been some changes behind the scenes in the Dales, and producer Iain MacLeod recently took over, following the departure of Kate Oates, who now works on ‘Corrie’.
Iain recently teased his plans for the coming year, and viewers are certainly in for a treat.
