Dales boss pledges "unmissable" Wylde climax
Published Tuesday, Jan 12 2010, 18:25 GMT | By Kris Green
Emmerdale series producer Gavin Blyth has described this week's climactic episodes to the Wylde-Lamb story as 'some of the best he's ever seen'.
Starting from this evening's instalment, the remaining episodes of the week play out a day's action in the village. As the lives of his two wives Faye and Natasha, sons Nathan and Ryan and daughter Maisie are thrown into turmoil, each struggles to come to terms with the implications of Mark's lies.
The action comes to a head during Thursday's double bill when one relative is pushed to the edge and dramatically decides to end Mark's lying ways once and for all - exacting the ultimate revenge by murdering him in cold blood.
Speaking exclusively to DS, Blyth said: "I am so very proud of these episodes and they are some of the best that I have seen, let alone be involved with.
"As of tonight's first showdown, the week plays out as a single and absolutely unmissable day of emotional drama. The pace of writing, directing and acting is exceptional at every turn."
He added: "They prove that Emmerdale really is at the top of its game and very much back where it belongs."
Over the last week, Emmerdale has logged an impressive series of ratings, averaging over 8m viewers for seven consecutive episodes. Thursday's 8pm instalment topped the 9m ceiling for the first time in nearly three years.
