Kathleen Beedles

Kathleen Beedles is a former Series Producer of British television soap opera "Emmerdale". She took over from Steve Frost during 2005. Kathleen was producer and series editor for the ITV soap before becoming series producer. Kathleen also worked on "Coronation Street" as a story associate from 1999-2002 before joining "Emmerdale".

Since becoming series producer in 2005, Kathleen has been responsible for many exciting storylines, namely Kings River Showhome Explosion that killed three people and the Tom King kidnap plot. She was also the brainchild for the biggest storyline in "Emmerdale" history, Who Killed Tom King? which was nominated for Best Storyline at the 2007 British Soap Awards.

In 2007, Kathleen came under fire from fans of the show. Many believing she had run out of ideas and becoming too reliant on special effects and sex related storylines. However, many now believe Emmerdale should have stuck with Kathleen as her successor Anita Turner has as yet been a total disaster.
