Emmerdale fans gobsmacked as Zak Dingle’s 'identical twin' rocks up to village in huge twist
manchestereveningnews.co.ukEmmerdale fans were stunned as Zak Dingle's 'long-lost twin' made a surprise entrance in the soap. The iconic Zak, portrayed by Steve Halliwell since 1994, was declared to have died off-camera last month.
In reality, the actor Steve passed away in December the previous year at the age of 77. As Zak had resided in Scotland, his sons Cain (played by Jeff Hordley) and Sam (portrayed by James Hooton) went north to retrieve his body and return him to the village.
