40 years of Emmerdale with... Debbie Dingle
AS part of TV Magazine’s Emmerdale Week, we speak
to Charley Webb (Debbie)
about her time in the soap...
What do you remember from your first day on Emmerdale?
I remember being in the green room and thinking it was a little bit weird because I’d never seen the show. I was only 15. I remember Jeff Hordley [Cain] and Emma Atkins [Charity] sitting me down and talking to me about the show, and the reaction you could get from the public when you’re recognised. I was thinking: ‘What are they talking about?!’ Things like that had never crossed my mind. I was thinking: ‘God, I’m not really ready for that.’ It happened pretty quick.
