==Biography==
Ned Glover is the patriarch of the Glover Family who moved to Emmerdale village in mid-1994. He was a farmer who had been close friends with local resident Jack Sugden ever since the pair grew up in childhood together, having also carved a career in farming alongside the latter for years. 
While he was an honest and reliable individual, Ned was not a man to be crossed. This was proven when his daughter Linda gets cheated on by her treacherous boyfriend Danny Weir before he and his family later insulted her, which prompted Ned to furiously confront Danny and throw him in a swimming pool. Later on, Ned fell out with his eldest son Dave over the latter's affair with businesswoman Kim Tate. At the same time Ned became friends with his old rival Zak Dingle after they had fought in a hand-to-hand contest.
In 1997, Ned was furious to learn that Linda was being sexually harassed by Kim's stepson and archenemy Chris Tate up to the point where he tried to rape her. Thereafter he confronted Chris and attempted to murder him with a gun, but was talked out of it by Linda and her husband Biff Fowler.
