Sandy Thomas is a fictional character on the ITV soap opera Emmerdale. He is played by Freddie Jones and made his first appearance on the show 6 November 2005. The character left in March 2008, but returned to the show in February 2009.
Sandy arrives in Emmerdale on his son Ashley (John Middleton) wedding day to Laurel Potts (Charlotte Bellamy). Ashley and Laurel find him in their bedroom and Ashley introduces him as his father.
Ashley and Sandy were estranged, due to Sandy helping Ashley's mum die from a terminal illness. However, Ashley's new wife Laurel and granddaughter Jasmine (Jenna-Louise Coleman) are pleased to have him around. Sandy makes friends with Daz Eden (Luke Tittensor) and Shadrach Dingle (Andy Devine) but makes an enemy of Edna Birch (Shirley Stelfox). He is accused of kidnapping Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) at Christmas 2005 after she went missing.
After a major fall-out with his son, Sandy moved in with Alan Turner (Richard Thorp) and Betty Eagleton (Paula Tilbrook). Father and son reconciled but Sandy stayed with Alan and Betty. Sandy left Emmerdale in March 2008. Sandy returned in February 2009, when it was revealed that Jasmine had visited him when she left Emmerdale. He and his lady friend helped Jasmine find a flat but she went on the run again after Marlon, Eli, Ashley and Laurel Thomas came looking for her.
