Tom Merrick returns for one last visit to the village aged 74. He soon finds out that he is related to a family who lives in the village. Characters featured are the Sugdens mainly and the Whites and the Kings. Also Moira Dingle is upset at being threatened by Emma Barton the previous Wednesday. And Cain Dingle opens up to Moira about his abusive childhood, he is still recovering from his operation to have his aneurysm stent put it. I base this fic on info given in the real show then use my imagination, you never know if an Emmerdale scriptwriter looks at this and gets inspiration for future episodes.
Emmerdale Village Cemetery. Saturday morning, January 17 2015.
73-year old Tom Merrick, who is almost 74, is stood in the cemetery. He is stood at the grave of Pat Sugden who died over 28 years before. He then notices Jack Sugden's grave. He walks over to it.
TOM Ah Sugden, dead hey? We were enemies but even you did not deserve to die. Jackie may have been yours by blood but he was always mine. Merrick by nurture and name.
Tom then looks at the grave of Jackie Merrick 1964-1989. He then looks at his parents grave "Stanley James Merrick 1915-1945, and his wife Mary Freda Merrick (Nee King) 1917-1964. Parents of Thomas Harold Merrick and James Merrick". Underneath Stan and Freda's names is the name of James Merrick who died just one week old in February 1944.
TOM Ah little bro, I wish you had lived. I really do.
By chance, Edna Birch is nearby, looking at her husband's grave. She sees Tom and makes conversation.
EDNA Hello sir, what makes you come to the cemetery?
TOM Dont you remember me?
EDNA Is it Tom Merrick? Used to be married to Pat before she wed Jack Sugden?
TOM Aye lass.
EDNA Well you treated her badly, very badly.
TOM Well I come here to visit my parents grave not to be lectured. This village has changed a lot, even been renamed to Emmerdale.
EDNA After the plane crash.
TOM Oh well, I am entitled to come and visit my childhood village. See you.
EDNA Hang on, I am going to the church to pray for my late husband Harold. You can join me if you like. And my friend Pearl Ladderbanks.
TOM Certainly.
