It would also bring the past into the present day, Emmerdale needs links to the past beyond the mid 1980s, the majority of the long serving characters are from 1994/95 onwards with only Robert and Eric originating from 1986, there is still fourteen years missing.Unlike Corrie and EE where plenty of characters from the 1960s and 1980s are still around today, there is no one from the 1972-85 era of Emmerdale.Perhaps Chrissie's mother could be........Christine Sugden - Joe's first wife from the 1970s briefly, let's say that Joe and Christine met up one night in 1979 to finalise their divorce but after reminiscing about their earlier days and too much to drink, they sleep together and they never speak of it again but Christine gives birth to Chrissie in 1980.We know that Christine must've kept in some sort of occasional friendly contact with Joe in the years following their divorce as She sent flowers to Joe's funeral in 1995.Plus Joe for most of the 1980s until he met his second wife, Kate Hughes, said that he wished he was still married to Christine.If this happened that would mean Chrissie would not only be connected to the Sugdens, but also the Hughes family.Sorry if I got carried away there lol.</blockquote>
