Remember These British Soap Opera Stars? See What They Are Up To Now
Andy Devine – Shadrach Dingle, Emmerdale
The saddest thing for Emmerdale is that they had to kill off Shadrach Dingle. Not that it wasn’t time to—the character was aging—but they probably could’ve done with a few more years of the character. Instead, they had to remove him because the actor who plays him, Andy Divine, was set to retire.
He wasn’t going to have his mind changed either, having turned 69 when he decided to call it a day. At least he played a few memorable characters before retiring because besides playing Shadrach, he was also popular for playing a gay man in the series Queer As Folk.
