EMMERDALE has already returned to filming after shutting down production over the pandemic. The soaps production team have commenced a phased return to filming by recording six new episodes featuring characters during the lockdown.
However it will not be a return to normal with the first six episodes shot featuring only two or three characters. The Sun Online can reveal that bosses hope the six special episodes will bridge the gap between pre-shot episodes and a fuller return to filming and avoid the soap going off air.
