Uncle Albert Posted 4 July 2008 Posted 4 July 2008 Emmerdale actor Hornby dies aged 63 Clive Hornby, who played Jack Sugden in Emmerdale, died on Thursday night at the age of 63, a spokeswoman for the soap said. Hornby was the longest-serving cast member in Emmerdale's history. He had not been in the ITV soap for around three months due to ill health. Hornby first appeared in Emmerdale on February 19 1980 and was still in the soap 28 years later. He was initially offered a three-month contract as farmer Jack Sugden. The character was seen returning to the village after previously being played by Andrew Burt. Devoted family man and farmer Sugden married three times and had five children. Emmerdale series producer Anita Turner said: "This is a devastating loss and we are all deeply saddened. "Clive will be greatly missed by everyone who has worked with him on Emmerdale during the past 28 years. "He was a hugely popular and well-respected member of cast and a terrific actor. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time."
MikeyT Posted 4 July 2008 Posted 4 July 2008 Never watched Emmerdale but he was one of the most recogniseable faces on British TV due to his role as that character. R.I.P.
Thracian Posted 4 July 2008 Posted 4 July 2008 Shit. And at 63 as well. Anyone who marries three times is lucky to get past 50 never mind 60! I'm surprised health and safety haven't latched onto it.
isaidno Posted 4 July 2008 Posted 4 July 2008 I wondered why he hadn't been in Emmerdale for ages. R.I.P
Darkzzz_ Posted 4 July 2008 Posted 4 July 2008 Shit.... That is terrible news, i really liked Jack as well, i was hoping he would kill Andy though!! He was great in his role and my thoughts are with his family. RIP Clive Hornby Really shocked by that....
Corky Posted 4 July 2008 Posted 4 July 2008 Such a shame. I used to watch Emmerdale and he played his part very well, very convincing. So sad. R.I.P
Ultra Posted 4 July 2008 Posted 4 July 2008 Quite shocked to hear about this. One of the best actors in that soap. RIP.

Uncle Albert Posted 5 July 2008 Author Posted 5 July 2008 I thought you said you laughed, mate? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Well i laughed at the storyline, a chimney pot twatting her on the head when she was under a lof of bricks. But when she died in the hospital telling Marlon that she loved him. That was emotional.
Webbo Posted 5 July 2008 Posted 5 July 2008 Well i laughed at the storyline, a chimney pot twatting her on the head when she was under a lof of bricks.But when she died in the hospital telling Marlon that she loved him. That was emotional. You put it so emotionally, I can see you were really moved.
Zingari Posted 6 July 2008 Posted 6 July 2008 Was it Bird Flu? Dunno really because for some strange reason he has requested that the cause of his death not be revealed . Anyway its really strange that he has survived aeroplanes crashing into his farm, explosions in the pub, raging fires in his house and barn ' So it must have been something particularly lethal to have downed him .
craigadams22 Posted 6 July 2008 Posted 6 July 2008 It was very sad to hear that Clive Hornby - Jack Sugden from Emmerdale had passed away the other day, It wasn't very nice "but" he'd been ill for about four month's & that's why you didn't see him in Emmerdale. I've done my own Special Tribute to Clive Hornby on Venture Radio this coming Thursday Evening from 5pm till 6pm (The Captain Cubbio Radio Show), Here's there website link for you all to tune in: http://www.ventureradio.co.uk/ RIP Jack Regards Craig Adams
