Bibliogryphon 9,570 Posted February 22, 2018 Freddie Jones bows out of his role in Emmerdale this week with guest star Wendy Craig. Does this mean we should be paying him more attention? Before anyone suggests this should be in the Soapstar thread it was a deliberate decision to put this here. I once saw him play Malvolio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
