Emmerdale in 2010

2010 was Emmerdale's 39th year. Production was overseen by Series Producer Gavin Blyth.
312 episodes were broadcast during the year. Major storylines included Mark Wylde being shot dead by his wife Natasha, Aaron Livesy coming to terms with his homosexuality, Chas Dingle taking revenge against Carl King for cheating on her with Eve Jenson, Diane Sugden being conned out of thousands of pounds and Jackson Walsh becoming permanently paralysed.
==Viewership==
The average viewing figure for the year was 7.34 million viewers, which was up 620,000 on 2009. It should be noted that this figure only includes those who watched on the main ITV channel, as BARB did not begin combining the viewing figures from ITV HD, which launched as a standard channel on 2nd April, with those from the main channel until May 2016. It also does not include the small percentage of viewers who watched on tablets, PCs and smartphones, which BARB did not include in the viewing figures until August 2018. The most-watched episode of the year was Episode 5506 (14th January 2010), with 9.96 million viewers, while the least-watched episode was Episode 5650 (8th July 2010), with 4.60 million viewers. 11 episodes ranked within the weekly top 10 for all UK TV, which was 2 more than the year before.
