Out with the Producer

Just a little over a year since becoming Series Producer on Emmerdale Anita Turner, along with the soap’s long running Executive Producer Keith Richardson, is stepping down and handing over to someone else. So those constantly stories about low morale on the Emmerdale set now look to be true.

Just a little over a year since becoming Series Producer on Emmerdale Anita Turner, along with the soap’s long running Executive Producer Keith Richardson, is stepping down and handing over to someone else. So those constantly stories about low morale on the Emmerdale set now look to be true. Barely a month has gone by in the past year without one of the tabloids claiming that Emmerdale is suffering from low morale as the other worked cast become frustrated with the storylines introduced by Anita Turner. Several stories claimed that stars of the show were on the verge of walking out and indeed some high-profile Emmerdale actors have indeed quit the soap over the past year. Now with Anita Turner leaving the soap after just a year in the role are we really to believe those stories weren’t true? If everything up at the soap’s Leeds studios really was hunky-dory why would the producer be leaving after just a year? Or maybe ITV bosses are worried that Anita Turner is to Emmerdale what Louise Berridge was to EastEnders….maybe a collapsing cardboard funfair ride was the next planned disaster for Emmerdale.
