Bit of a random one, but does anyone remember this Emmerdale character from 2000 played by Tim Vincent?

I remember there being a of hype about the casting at the time, but I can't remember a single story he had, or indeed what his exit was! There's virtually no trace of him on Wikipedia or elsewhere on-line.

Anyone remember anything?

I remember him (vaguely)

He was a vet - but can't really remember any storylines of his (clearly didn't make much of an impact)
Was a bit wooden actingwise (I remember that )

I briefly remember him helping Paddy when he was kicked in the head or whatever by a horse, but that's about it.

Ah yes, he was a vet wasn't he?

Anyone know how he left, and why?

He was only there for about a year.

I'm guessing his employment was a bit of a "gimmick" i.e Blue Peter presenter gets role on soap - but he was a crap actor (hasn't had an acting job of note since) and his contract probably wasn't renewed after his initial year.

So it would seem!

I just wondered how his character left... seems odd no one has ever written anything about him on Wiki etc.

If my memory serves me correctly he just got written out very quietly - got the chance of a job or partnership with another veterinary practice.

I found this old Emmerdale episode guide and for the Friday January 12 2001 episode it says "Adam puts pleasure before business leading to a tragic blunder at the Stud" and then he isn't mentioned again. Looks like he was maybe fired from the vets? If you can find that episode you might know for sure!

This was Tim Vincent's debut episode following the devastating bus crash which resulted in Butch Dingle's tragic death.

I remember when these episodes aired, a very dramatic and emotional week, superb acting, Emmerdale at it's best! The climax of the week is heartbreaking!

The OP has alerted me to this episode and reminded me how utterly heartbreaking it was!

It's one of the most poignant, beautifully-written and superbly-acted episodes of Emmerdale I have ever seen, when it was still very much an innocent, lighter-hearted drama, unlike now.

Paul Loughran as Butch and Kate McGregor as Emily were totally captivating, with a stunning script from Karin Young, sadly brought their much-loved on-screen partnership to a tragic end following the devastating bus crash. The whole week of episodes were Emmerdale at it's finest. Thank you BigDuck!

Thanks for all the replies!

I'd completely forgotten all about Emily, she was a classic character too!

OT but who was the other vet that was in it about 5 or 6 years ago and had a brief fling with Rhona, I think? It led to her getting together with Paddy.

Think you might be getting mixed up here - Rhona had a fling with Marlon when she first appeared 2001 / 2002
This started up again when she returned in 2010 - then she fell for Paddy.



There was a locum vet who appeared for a few months in 2011 - Nicky Pritchard.
His primary role seemed to be to act as a new love interest / catalyst for Gennie during her romancing of Nikhill.

Yes, that was the guy. I knew that he was basically there to facilitate a romance

I do remember Tim Vincent's character very vaguely. Have the strangest feeling he had a rushed storyline out of nowhere as his exit. Have a feeling it involved a girl but not 100% sure.
