Emmerdale news: Jane Hudson quits

Jane Hudson has been the Executive Producer on Emmerdale for five years. During this time she’s been responsible for some major storylines such as Meena’s murders and the soap’s 50th anniversary storm.

However, for quite some time, fans have grown disappointed with storylines, demanding that Jane steps down. This coincides with a number of cast members deciding to leave the soap recently, with it being alleged that Matthew Wolfenden will soon be departing the Dales after 17 years.

Now, ITV has announced that Jane will be stepping down from her role as Emmerdale boss after this year’s Super Soap Week. Emmerdale boss Jane will leave the soap on September 22, just before the soap’s big October storylines air.
