Young TJ Woods is currently taking a central role in Classic Emmerdale episodes currently airing on ITV3. Fans are watching as he has been rushed to hospital after contracting E-coli.
It is a frightening watch as he fights for his life, but viewers can breathe easy knowing he survives the ordeal.
With those emotional scenes back on screen, it has got many asking the same question. What happened to TJ after that terrifying health scare? Where is he now? And could Emmerdale ever bring him home?
TJ’s birth in Emmerdale
Terry Junior is the son of Dawn and Terry Woods. He arrived in October 2003, but his start in life was far from straightforward. Dawn had contracted German measles while pregnant, raising fears TJ might be deaf. Thankfully, tests later confirmed that was not the case.
Drama followed almost immediately. While celebrating TJ’s birth, Terry suffered a stroke and collapsed. Once home from hospital, Dawn found herself caring for both a recovering husband and a newborn.
Things soon unravelled further when Dawn began an affair with her stepbrother Scott Windsor. When Terry discovered the betrayal, he threw her out and a bitter custody battle over TJ began.
Dawn planned to take TJ to Spain to see her mum Jean and warned Terry he would never see his son again. Terry alerted the police in a bid to stop her leaving the country. Despite the drama, Dawn was eventually granted sole custody.
