The veteran star made his debut as Turner in March 1982 and has been on the show ever since – making him the longest-serving actor in Emmerdale history.Initially he was introduced as a hellraising womaniser and heavy drinker, but viewers have seen a mellower side to his personality in more recent years.
I've never watched emmerdale myself but he was a key face in the soap industry and its an absolute shame he is no longer with us.
"A statement released by ITV described him as a ‘pillar of the show’.
‘He will be greatly missed around the Emmerdale studios but will forever live on in all the wonderful memories we have of him,’ the statement added.
‘Richard was a true professional and a complete gentleman. His charm, wit and effortless grace will be sorely missed.’"
Rest in peace!

Never watched a full episode but from the clips I've seen he is always in them. Such a shame. 81 with his experience is pretty good.
