00:01There's lots for Liv and Vinny, as we know their happiness is very short-lived and we've got a visitor
00:05coming to the Dales, which is Sandra, Liv's mum again.
00:08Comes to stir the pot and cause a bit of a rife between us two. I think, I mean, in
00:13-laws always cause an rife, aren't they?
00:16So, I mean Liv and Sandra have never had a good relationship and she just continues to kind of be
00:21the character that she is.
00:22And, you know, it kind of tests Liv and Vinny as a couple and we hope that we stay strong
00:27throughout it.
00:28Fingers crossed. Yeah, we like working together.
00:39Well, if I'm honest, they're being very cagey about it. We know some little bits and pieces and from what
00:46we know already, it sounds ridiculous.
00:49Ridiculously good. And we don't even know everything, so it's going to be good. It's going to be really good.
00:56I don't really know a lot about the 50th anniversary story. You know, there's a lot of hype surrounding it
01:06now and I'm very excited to see if I'm involved or what my involvement looks like.
01:13You know, but it's going to be a massive event. Like, this has been in the works for a long
01:19time. They're very invested in it. There's been a lot of planning.
01:23So, I do know it's going to be off-the-wall sightings, but I don't know what it's going to
01:32be. So, I'm probably just as excited and also in the dark as you are, really.
01:41Absolutely nothing. So, everybody's like, nobody knows. Which is great if that's how it should be.
01:48Well, we know it's going to be good. It's going to be good, yeah. I've heard a few little things
01:52and it sounds exciting.
01:54It's going to be big. Yeah. No, it's going to be really exciting. Can't say too much, of course, but
01:58yeah, keep watching and yeah, it's going to be good.
02:03Asking the golden question. Oh, what could we tell? No, it's really exciting. You know, everyone's involved. It's really, it's
02:09going to be fantastic.
02:10A massive team effort in there. Yeah, it's a huge team involvement. We're really excited about it. There's a lot
02:14coming up for Liv and Vinny.
02:16And as far as like storyline, you ain't getting nothing out of us. But it's going to be great. Definitely
02:22tune in. We're like so excited about it.
02:24Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, it's going to be great. Not a lot, but we know it's really, really exciting.
02:28It's one to watch. Like you cannot miss. And we've heard like everyone's involved. Yeah. So it's like.
02:33And it's going on for like a while or so, but it's such a big thing. Like Emmerdale's been on
02:38for 50 years. Like you cannot miss it.
02:40There's so much going on, so many big things, but that's all we can say, but yeah. It's going to
02:46be really, really good. It's going to be amazing.
02:48Yeah, I know a little bit about what's coming up for my character and generally the village, but also there's
02:54a lot of rumour.
02:55So, yeah, I can't say too much, but it's going to be really, really exciting. There's big celebrations, big disasters,
03:03big drama basically.
03:06Well, it's going to be explosive. A lot of, a lot of, yeah, there's a lot going on. Not sure
03:11how much we can say, but yeah, no, there's a lot, there's a huge amount going on.
03:15And yeah, viewers are probably going to be hooked. So yeah, just watch your space.
03:20Well, not a great deal, really. I've heard a few rumours, obviously they can't divulge, but I would imagine it's
03:29going to be pretty spectacular.
03:29Because I was there for the 40th and alive 10 years ago, and I don't, I didn't think they could
03:33kind of match that.
03:35But I think they may, well, from what I know, got so much else kind of really, you know, but
03:41it'll be good. It'll be great.
03:41A really quick one for us, isn't it? Nothing. We've got a story catch up next week.
03:46Can we swear?
03:47We know nothing.
03:48Absolutely f*** all.
03:49I'd like to work.
03:50They told us nothing.
03:51Nada.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Nada.
03:53Nada's actually our production, head of production, and nada is the word, because we don't know anything.
03:58We don't know anything.
04:00So, but we have a story catch up too.
04:01Even those of us that are nosy, I'm quite nosy.
04:03I know Karen.
04:04I'm very nosy.
04:04She doesn't know what's going on.
04:05I like everyone's business.
04:06They've not told us a thing.
04:09Hopefully we survive it.
04:10I hope so.
04:12That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
04:13I know, yeah, it would.
04:14I mean, yeah.
04:15Sandwich.
04:15We enjoy working on the show.
04:16We do.
04:17We don't want to be dead or anything like that.
04:20Other than that, we don't know.
04:22No, we don't.
04:23I ever don't.
04:34I don't know.
04:35That's a really good question.
04:36I feel like if somebody said to me, do you want to be in a live episode?
04:40I'd go, yes, that's the most exciting thing I've ever heard.
04:42And then on the day, I'd be like, why did I agree to this?
04:45I feel sick.
04:46So, do you know what?
04:48I think maybe not doing a live is a lucky escape?
04:51I would be excited and terrified.
04:57As a perfect example, I've not done theater in a hot minute and, you know, the pressure
05:06of having to do it live and not, like, forget my line or trip over it or swear is probably...
05:15I'm not sure how I deal with that pressure.
05:18But on one hand, I think it'd be really fun, but on the other hand, absolutely terrifying.
05:27It was one of the live was one of the most amazing nights of our lives as a cast and
05:32the crew.
05:34It was very stressful, I'll say that.
05:37So, I don't know, I'm sort of 50-50 on it.
05:40No, I think it was a really good idea and it's a different type of acting for us.
05:44Yeah, it's a nice change and something special for the 50th as well, but, yeah, it would
05:49be nice to bring it back.
05:50No.
05:51Absolutely not.
05:51That sounds like hell to me.
05:53We were actually really grateful that we weren't doing a live, weren't we?
05:56We all thought we were going to do it, like, to mark the 50th, but, yeah, thank God.
06:00I mean, it would have made sense to do a live, but, I mean, we hear the stories from
06:04the cast who were involved in that and, to be honest, a lot of PTSD from that.
06:08Yeah.
06:09And trauma, so we don't want to be involved.
06:10Yeah.
06:11I wasn't there for the live.
06:12I was there for the live.
06:14I think I was eight, nine, and we were speaking about this every day because it's ten years
06:17since the live, and I would love to do another live.
06:20The adrenaline was just, yeah, but I think we should do another live.
06:23I don't know whether I'd mess up on a live.
06:24I feel like that's what they do, they'd watch it to see if we'd mess up, but we didn't.
06:28But I think we should do it again.
06:29Yeah.
06:29It would put a lot of people on the spot, which would be really fun.
06:32Yeah.
06:33That sounds terrifying to me, the idea of doing a live.
06:36But it's pretty scary being in a soap anyway, so I think doing it live, I'm up for leaving
06:40that, to be honest.
06:41But apparently it was a really good experience, so.
06:44Yes.
06:45I wasn't there when they'd done the first live episode, but I've seen live episodes of,
06:48I saw a live episode of EastEnders.
06:51Don't shoot me, but I did not see the live episode of Emmerdale.
06:53But I loved the live episode of EastEnders, and I just want to be involved in something
06:57like that.
06:57Like, I guess it would be a bit more like theatre, because everything's sort of real,
07:02and sort of there and then, and sort of the ante is high, the stakes are high.
07:07So yeah, I'd want to get involved in that.
07:09Yeah, let's talk to bosses and let's make that happen.
07:10I would love to go live again.
07:12I think I've got something wrong with me.
07:14I don't think most people do, but I would love to go live.
07:17I loved that whole, erm, the flying by the seat of your pants type of thing.
07:22I think it was great.
07:23Yeah, I'd love to do it.
07:25But I don't think that's likely in the near future.
07:30One spit and twice shy.
07:32No, we did it.
07:33We went live for the 40th, it was great, and we were so well rehearsed that it literally
07:38went without a hitch.
07:39We could do it again, but we're so good at doing live.
07:43And I think it's something that's been done quite a lot, hasn't it?
07:46They want people to mess up.
07:47Yeah.
07:48And we wouldn't let that happen, so I don't think they want us to do it again.
08:03Yeah, we get nervous if there's a serial killer around.
08:06I mean, I'm sure already Paige has been through, er, and we get nervous when there's a serial
08:11killer around.
08:12We get nervous if there's a 50th.
08:13We get, to be honest, we just get nervous.
08:15We get nervous a lot.
08:17Erm, no, I don't think so, because you can't really control anything like that, so there's
08:23no point in getting anxious about it, because none of us ever know what's going to happen
08:26from one contract to the next.
08:28So, no, I don't think so.
08:29It's not been too bad.
08:31Definitely.
08:31Yeah.
08:32When you hear a big event coming up, like a soap, we call the 50th anniversary, a bit
08:37nervous to read the scripts when they come through.
08:39Yeah, definitely.
08:40Oh, I'm sure people are shifting their seats.
08:42Yeah.
08:43You know, with drama comes death, which is what we've figured out in the past few years.
08:47Yeah.
08:47So, you know, we shall see, but it is really exciting, and I definitely will tune in.
08:51Anything's possible.
08:52Yeah, it's true, isn't it?
08:53Yeah.
08:53Well, you never know.
08:54You know, we've had a psychopath on the loose, like, you just don't know, do you?
08:58But, erm, there's definitely drama.
09:01Drama and big twists, that's all we can say, guys.
09:03Really big twist.
09:05Yeah.
09:05But, yeah, you've got to watch to find out.
09:09Yeah.
09:10Listen, as an actor, you never know what's going to happen.
09:13That's part of the fun of this job, but also, erm, yeah, it can be scary, obviously,
09:19erm, but, you know, some people might stay, some people might have dramatic endings.
09:25There's definitely some nerves.
09:26Yeah.
09:27There's absolutely some nerves.
09:28We all sort of look at each other.
09:29Yeah.
09:29And we're like, hmm, when's your contract renewal coming out?
09:31Yeah, when's your contract again?
09:32Yeah.
09:33So there's a bit of that.
09:34Erm, but also, I've said this before, like, Emmerdale's such a big family and it feels,
09:38the working environment's amazing.
09:40You've sat there with people that, erm, you can have a good conversation with.
09:43So, I never feel too out of the loop in that sense.
09:47I always want to know more, obviously, but, erm, yeah.
09:49We're quietly confident.
09:50Yeah, no, no, yeah, no, we're good.
09:52I think we're good.
09:52Yeah.
09:53I've been, you know, turning up to step on time with you.
09:56Erm, yes.
09:57Yeah?
09:57Yeah.
09:58Definitely.
09:58We're good.
10:00Yeah.
10:01Yeah, I think so.
10:03Erm, it's been weird because of COVID, you know, we've only started socialising again
10:06recently, so we've not had time to talk about whether we're nervous or not.
10:09But, yeah, I think generally a few people would be.
10:12Can neither confirm nor deny whether there will be deaths.
10:15Erm, but, erm, yeah, it'll be interesting.
10:17I'm sure they do.
10:18We all do.
10:19Because you never know.
10:20There are no guarantees at all for anybody.
10:22But, erm, yeah, we hope that people and the producers and the powers that be do enjoy
10:26watching Sam and Lydia.
10:27We love playing Sam and Lydia.
10:29Absolutely.
10:31It's great.
10:31It's great.
10:32It's great to work with James.
10:33I'm feeling...
10:33I'm feeling, I'm feeling...
