Emmerdale (Image: (Image: ITV)) Emmerdale enthusiasts believe they've pieced together the puzzle of how the show will break the news of Zak Dingle's demise. The beloved character, brought to life by the late Steve Halliwell, first graced our screens in 1994 and quickly became a fan favourite as the patriarch of the Dingle household. Tragically, Steve Halliwell died at the age of 77 last year after a series of health struggles.
His family announced at the time: "He went to sleep, peacefully with his loved ones around him." They further remarked: "He was making us laugh to the end, the most amazing father and grandfather you could ever wish for, family was everything to him." Steve was an integral fixture on the ITV soap until approximately last year.
During that period, Zak's presence dwindled, with the character spending time in Scotland with other members of the Dingle family, reports the Daily Star . function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
