Emmerdale is all about family, and every clan has members who are missing from our screens. But where are these characters currently? And what are the chances of them making a comeback to the soap?<\/p>

<\/div><\/div>\n

From the Dingles to Tates, Sugdens to Sharmas, here are all the faces we haven\u2019t seen in a while. And there\u2019s even one in there we\u2019re yet to meet\u2026<\/p>\n

Tina Dingle<\/h3>\n

Tina\u2019s return to Emmerdale caused a real stir. The long lost Dingle hadn\u2019t been seen for 28 years before she rocked up at her father Zak\u2019s funeral, with a brand new face.<\/p>\n

In the weeks that followed, Tina caused a lot of carnage. She tried to lay claim to Zak\u2019s will, then dropped the bombshell that she was Vinny\u2019s real mum and tried to blackmail Mandy over the secret. In the end, Vinny issued Tina an ultimatum \u2013 either stay in his life, or take \u00a350k, return Zak\u2019s will and leave Emmerdale.<\/p>\n

Tina showed her true colours by choosing money over family and with that she was gone. But is that it? Surely we\u2019re going to see more from Tina in 2025, otherwise what was the point?<\/p>
