Emmerdale in 2014

2014 was Emmerdale's 43rd year. Production was overseen by Series Producer Kate Oates.
313 episodes were broadcast during the year. Major storylines included Declan Macey’s various attempts to murder his wife Charity, the reveal that James Barton was the biological father of his believed-to-be nephew Adam, Donna Windsor committing suicide in a bid to protect her daughter April and boyfriend Ross Barton from criminal Gary North, Val Pollard being diagnosed with HIV and Belle Dingle being imprisoned for the manslaughter of her friend Gemma Andrews.
==Viewership==
The average viewing figure for the year was 5.74 million viewers, which was down 830,000 on 2013. 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 and ITV+1 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 6776 (27th January 2014), with 7.18 million viewers, while the least-watched episode was Episode 6940 (7th August 2014), with 3.82 million viewers. 4 episodes ranked within the weekly top 10 for all UK TV, which was 4 less than the year before.
