Yeah the Emmerdale families are all interwoven, like EastEnders families are, on that show I’m pretty certain Liam Butcher is the one character, nearly every EE character is related to, so I wonder which character in Emmerdale is related to the most characters?
Probably Sarah and Jack, since they’re Dingle and Sugden hybrids not to mention that their step-relatives include the Tate’s, and the Blackstock/Lambert clan and those two families alone are related to several other families,
Years ago in the mid 2000s someone did do an Emmerdale family tree showing how the Hughes family are related to the Glover’s and how they themselves relate to the Hope family via Windsor’s who in turn are related to the Tates also and they are connected to the Sugden family via the Hughes family and so it goes
It’s a shame Sandie never stayed on in the 1990s I think she had a lot of potential to being a main stay character of the era, I can see her getting involved with Chris Tate at some point during that decade, and Mark Hughes, by the time of his early death his character was just really starting fully develop he was moving from his wild teenage image into a mature hard working adult, perhaps even a marriage between him and Sandie say circa 1995.
