The longest-serving cast member of Emmerdale, Chris Chittell, has played Eric Pollard, a pivotal role in many significant stories over the years.
Chris Chittell, star of Emmerdale, has no problem questioning the plots of the ITV soap operas. The actor who plays Eric Pollard has now weighed in with fans who are doubting one of the most recent storylines.
The 76-year-old actor discussed his thoughts on the writings with a fan on X, the former Twitter. He made a statement on a plot point in which Ethan Anderson (Emile John) was beaten as payback.
When the automobile crashed, Ethan and Nicky Milligan (Lewis Cope) were on their way to help Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana).
“Really odd this Ethan story,” questioned a fan on Twitter on the horrific plot. Is he, a law-abiding guy, offering his father the moral high ground?
“How is it possible when he is also completely at fault? Then, how can you use the “no remark” tactic with the attorney seated next to you?”
Chris contributed his own observations and quickly picked up on the criticism. “I think you are being courteous,” he retorted.
The seasoned actor has criticised the serial opera in the past. He’s remarked before that the plots are “sensationalist”.
Chris discussed his tenure on Emmerdale at the show’s 50th anniversary, saying, “It’s unfortunate that the storylines have become so sensationalist. This is the biggest change I’ve noticed.”
To do our tasks, we must be able to look at life and reflect on it. And life as it exists right now—hell bells, you daren’t go down the street or cough because someone has died. However, that is not how life is.
“I watched a fantastic Coronation Street episode with Sarah Lancashire and Julie Goodyear in the bar,” he said. After closing for the evening, the atmosphere was just enchanting. It was flawless. What’s lacking is that.
Chris has been a part of Emmerdale since 1986, making him the cast member with the longest tenure.
