Gavin Blyth

Hi all,

There have been no, I repeat NO official announcements, but people are saying on Twitter - including an Emmerdale writer - that Gavin Blyth passed away last night.

Does anybody know anything? I'm so sorry if I'm spreading false info based only on a few Twitter posts, I know that's not on, but it does seem unlikely that anyone would lie about this.

What awful news if this is true.

@jamquinn Yeah I don't know if you've heard the news about Gav. We're all a bit blindsided

To all, I am sorry if I seem cagey. It's probably best I don't say anything. I am sure ITV will announce soon. Many apologies

Oh my goodness.

My sympathy with all his family if he has really passed away.

He was a fantastic producer, I wonder who will replace him?

R.I.P

I know it's random, but all the cast/crew seem to go quiet around the same time yesterday.

Such a shame my thoughts go out to the Emmerdale cast and crew and his family and friends - Emmerdale won't be the same. RIP Gavin

Such awful news. My thoughts are with his family, friends and the Emmerdale team. The show will be poorer without him.

Thats awful if it is true. He really did turn Emmerdale around into an amazing show after the awful comedy era 2 years ago.

Saddened to hear of the death of my very dear friend, Emmerdale boss Gavin Blyth. He was one of the best journalists I worked with.

Yeah i know So Clever in everything he did one thing what he done was brilliant was that about 80% of the cast was involved in a big storyline on the show now how many other soaps can boast that!

It seems some of the cast are still unaware or only just finding out, Tanya Vital has only just found out via SuseHills twitter it seems.

How awful RIP Gavin.
Does anyone know if he was ill, or was it sudden? I'm so shocked at this

That's really awful. I remember when he was just a press mn and helped with the emmerdale.org some years back now. Then he left and went to do other things before coming back to Emmerdale as producer. I had given up on Emmerdale by the time he took over as producer, but from what I've read he was doing better things with it than Kath Beedles and seemed to care about the show's past.

How old was he? Can't be that old?

His poor family.
