Terence "Terry" Woods is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera, Emmerdale, played by Billy Hartman. He was one of the longest-serving characters in the show when he was killed-off alongside Viv Hope (Deena Payne) in early 2011, after 16 years. Terry currently serves as the twenty-second longest running character in the history of the show.
When Terry Woods and his wife Britt arrive in Emmerdale, no one is impressed by their brash attitude. As managers of the Woolpack, the couple have a pivotal position in the community but are unable to stay out of trouble with landlord Alan Turner. Although Terry dotes on Britt, it is clear their marriage is in trouble and when they are offered their own bar in New York City, Britt goes alone. The marriage limps on but Terry discovers that Britt is having an affair and they divorce.
Now single, Terry takes up ballroom dancing with Viv Windsor, wife of his best friend, Vic, as his partner. After a while, they begin an affair and when Vic finds out, Viv and their daughter, Donna, move into the Woolpack with Terry. Terry and Viv's relationship does not last and she and Donna go back to live with Vic and his daughter Kelly.
Terry’s job at the Woolpack comes to a violent end in 1998 when he sleeps with Alan Turner’s granddaughter, Tricia Stokes, only to discover she is also sleeping with Scott Windsor. When he exposes Tricia's lack of morals in front of the entire pub, Alan punches Terry and fires him.
On Christmas Day 1998, Terry goes to visit Vic at the post office and discovers his body after he has been killed by Billy Hopwood during a robbery. In 2000, Terry starts working for Chris Tate. Terry is there for Chris when he needs someone to talk to and Chris knows he can trust Terry with anything, leading to a strong friendship between the two men. Terry is saddened when Chris commits suicide in September 2003.
