Emmerdale Spoilers: Seth Armstrong, Betty Eagleton & Edna Birch Returns
It’s CONFIRMED! Emmerdale spoilers convey that three beloved legends are returning- even though they’ve left the soap. In the May 22, 2024 episode, the soap hits a whopping 10,000 episodes, marking the occasion with a village fete.
On the special day, there’s a scarecrow competition. And guess what? The villagers aren’t just making scarecrows of themselves; and they’re also crafting ones that look like past favorites. Emmerdale spoilers feature Bob Hope chatting with Nicola King, who is behind all the event planning.

Bob is making a scarecrow that looks just like Seth Armstrong. Remember him? He was the guy who guarded Home Farm, but he was famous for sneaking away from work whenever he could. He had this weird but cool friendship with Kim Tate and a super memorable love story with Betty Eagleton.

A Special Tribute To Soap Icons
Emmerdale spoilers recall that Seth was written off in 2005 after the actor’s death. This left Betty heartbroken. Talking about her, there’s a scarecrow that looks just like her in the episode. It’s sitting outside the café with another legend, Edna Birch.
These scarecrows are dressed just like Betty and Edna, with Edna even wearing one of her famous hats. Let us tell you that back in 1994, Betty entered Dales and instantly won hearts with her nosy and chatty personality. Emmerdale spoilers remember the famous friendship duo of Betty and Edna.

Edna was on the show for a whopping 16 years before the actress passed away in 2015. But, truly, this is such a touching tribute to these beloved characters and stars. Stay tuned for the episodes and keep checking TV Season & Spoilers for more Emmerdale spoilers and updates!
