But as they splashed about on the beach in Dubai, Emmerdale seemed a million miles away for actresses Adele Silva and Verity Rushworth.
Wearing tiny bikinis - and showing off tanned, toned figures - the girls better known as Kelly Windsor and Donna Dingle appeared to be having a great time away from the drama of the fictional soap town.
Tanned and toned: Adele and Verity enjoy the sunshine in Dubai
The mischievous pair dragged their sunchairs into the splash
Being used to the cold climes of the North, the actresses took the rare opportunity to don teeny bikinis
Splashing around in the waves, the mischievous pair dragged their white sunbathing chairs into the sea to sit in the surf.
While they may be unlucky in love in the popular show, they are unlikely to avoid male attention on their holiday looking like this.
Let's hope they don't enjoy Dubai too much and are back on our screens soon.
