Martin Butler

Martin Butler was a veterinarian that checked over the cows at Emmerdale Farm in October 1982. Whilst there, Martin took an interest in Sandie Merrick and offered to show her the animals at the surgery, which she accepted. Martin plans to go work in Whitby, and Sandie is desperate to go too, but Martin told her he would only allow it if her mother Pat Sugden agreed - however Sandie knew Pat wouldn't allow her to go.
Martin was called out to the farm again in November 1982 when Sandie realised some of the cows were falling ill. Martin discovered the cheap feed the cows had been put on contained bits of metal and one of the cows had to be put down whilst Martin had to surgically remove the metal from another one. Sandie ends up falling for classmate and close friend Andy Longthorn, and breaks up with Martin.
