In early Feb 1988, Jackie and Kathy married, and Robert was almost 2 years old. The farmhouse had a future ahead of it. If you watched the show in Feb 1988, I doubt anyone would think that 30 years down the line, the show would turn out the way it has. In 1988, the viewers would have found it very implausible that 30 years down the line, Robert would turn out to be some evil scumbag who has played a part in the deaths of a few people, or that the original farmhouse would be written out in 1993 (due to new owners of the real farm, Lindley Farm, not allowing filming to continue). In 1988 they would have agreed to a future storyline where Jack Sugden becomes a father again.
In 1989 Jackie was killed in a accidental shooting. This was just before they dropped the word farm from the title. I wonder if Jackie being killed off was part of their plan to make the Tates and Feldman's the centre of the show in late 1989/1990.
1988 was the last old school year of Emmerdale I think as 1989 saw huge changes. Then again 1988 was the last full old school year of EastEnders.
