Emmerdale fans get ready for a huge return on the soap. A legend is making his comeback on the screen almost four years after battling a court case of soap axing and assault. It’s none other than soap veteran Mark Jordon (Daz Spencer). Jordan has landed his first role in almost three years. Now, he is all set to grace our screen again. Between 1992 and 2007, Mark appeared in more than 320 episodes and was quite appreciated for his performance. Let us see what he has got for us this time!
Emmerdale: Mark Jordon’s Huge Comeback On The Small Screen
Mark was well-known for playing the character of Daz Spencer on Emmerdale between 2014 and 2019. He has not been seen on the small screen since he left the ITV soap in 2019. However, Jordan made a short cameo in BBC’s medical drama Holby City before it was cancelled in early 2021. Since then, he has mostly been working as a theatre artist till date. But the wait is over, and Mark is finally all set to return to our screens in the new ITV thriller The Long Shadow.
The Long Shadow is an eight-part series primarily focussed on the five-year manhunt for serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, commonly called Yorkshire Ripper. Mark will be seen as a character named Ray Wood. He will appear in an episode due to air early next month. Mark, who is also known for his role as PC Phil Bellamy on the ITV series Heartbeat, is married to his former Emmerdale co-star Laura Norton. The couple announced their first pregnancy, due in January 2021. In November 2022, Laura gave birth to their second child, a daughter. With 2 kids, they have been together for 5 years now.
The actor is back after clearing his name from a charge of assault. In July 2018, he was accused of assaulting and biting a pensioner in a pub during his engagement celebrations. This led to soap bosses writing him out of Emmerdale. He made his last appearance in January 2019. Finally, he is back again, and fans are thrilled to watch him on the screen. Are you excited, too?
