From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seth Armstrong was a fictional character in the ITV soap Emmerdale, played by Stan Richards from 1978 until 2003, when the actor's ill health forced him to leave the show for more than a year. Seth made two final cameo appearances in 2004: the first in the form of a telephone message left on Betty Eagleton's answering machine and finally on the internet, as seen on a laptop in The Woolpack that Christmas Eve. Richards was keen to reprise his role, but on 11 February 2005 he died of emphysema and several months later, out of respect for the actor, an off-screen death for the character was included in the storyline.
