She divulged details about upcoming storylines, saying: "The Dingles have been at the heart of our show for 30 years now, and will continue to be so. "We lost Steve recently, so we're going to be marking Zak's passing in the coming months with a Dingle funeral.

It will be very difficult for a lot of people who work on the show and obviously a lot of our viewers who have grown and love Zak for many, many years - but it will be a hugely fitting tribute for a great character." However, not all is grim in the Dales, as Mandy and Paddy are set to walk down the aisle. "Elsewhere in the Dingle world, we've got Mandy and Paddy building towards a wedding," reports the Mirror. "It is Mandy and Paddy, so that's going to be filled with fun.
