Ashley in Emmerdale has a brother called Luke who has never yet appeared.

He has missed his brother's 3 weddings.
Never met his nephew or two nieces.
Missed his "nephew' funeral.
Missed his daughter Jasmine being sentenced for murder.
Expressed no interest inhis brother's dementia.

I seem to recall that he lived abroad due to work. That's why Jasmine came to live with Ashley in the first place.

He's never appeared on screen I think this was the last time he was mentioned on-screen when Jasmine returned in December 2005::

Luke and Karen Thomas are Jasmine's parents.

It would be nice for Sandy if Luke and Karen joined the show in 2017.

We can also find out what has happened to Jasmine.

Read somewhere that the Thomas family receives a pleasant surprise over Christmas. Just wondering if Ashley's brother Luke is going to turn up as he has been mentioned a few times this week

If Luke ever did arrive in the village I can already see a feud between him and Cain regarding what Cain did to Jasmine in the past.

Ive always assumed we won't see him, many families never see each other lose touch over the years. It doesn't seem odd to me at all.

It would be great seeing him.

We know Ashley is going to die soon. I wish they could persuade Jenna to come back as a one off for the funeral episode.

You never know, they might do. I think she's probably done enough high profile roles since not to worry too much about being typeecast by a brief return.

However, I do think there are credible reasons for her not to be there giving her leaving storyline. Jasmine could well find coming back to the village whete she killed somebody, plus seeing everybody connected to it, including Debbie, too painful. And if they really love her, her family would j nderstand that and know it doesn't lessen her feelings for Ashley and that she'll be mourning him in her own way.

Likewise Luke. In my experience, whilst people do make an effort to attend funerals, the bereaved family are realistic and accept that some people just won't be able to make it due to other commitments like work, kids schooling and childcare if they leave them at home, expense, especially of they live a long way away.

We have relatives in America and Australia who we do keep in close contact with via post and telephone but it's accepted that we won't be attending family events like weddings and funerals. Always has been. Doesn't mean we don't care.

Also re Luke, didn't he and Ashley fall out over how their Mother died? Luke continuing to speak to Sandy whilst Ashley had cut him off? Or am I remembering incorrectly, it was a while ago

They talked in this clip as he was speaking to him on the phone and told Jasmine (in 2005) to meet Luke and Karen at the airport which Jasmine never went to.
