    Phwoooarr! Talk about improving with age! I didn't watch ED back then but I wouldn't have looked twice at him then, but now...........wow, he's gorgeous! :cool:

    Who killed him in ED?:(

    Oh right - sounds like he's found the perfect career then. :) Nice to see ex-soapies doing well for themselves. :cool:

    He does nothing for me, I'm afraid.
    ( he didn't when he was in ED and he doesn't now)

    He looks just like an angry tramp to me.

    He should go for a part in a Game of Thrones.

    I didnt watch ED then. But Jacqueline Pirie used to be in Corrie. He looks older than 39 in some of the photos. In the last one he looks good though.

    You could say that he played one of the most important characters in Emmerdale's history as his character was responsible for bringing the Dingles into the show.

    The only scene I've ever seen him in (that I can remember anyway) was when he killed Ben Dingle. He was extremely wooden in that, so if that was typical of his acting, I think he's made the right career choice:D Jacqueline Pirie was good in Corrie though.

    Spinning off from that, I wonder whether Ben Dingle is the most well remembered character in British soap to have only appeared in one episode? Probably the most onscreen mentions of a one-off character, too.

    I can't even think of anyone else who might be a contender. Normally single appearance characters are soon forgotten!

    Hold on, before anyone says it, Reg Cox! Just come to me! :) More memorable by virtue of being in episode 1 of EastEnders, but I bet he hasn't clocked up as many on-screen mentions as Ben Dingle has.

    Reg had less to do as well!:D

    You can imagine the meetings with their agents. 'We're putting you forward to play the twenty year old son of a large, sprawling criminal family/ an elderly hermit like character who nevertheless will come to be iconic in a new soap. We think they/it will really take off! Em, just one thing..':D
