EMMERDALE has signed up ANOTHER rival soap star to appear in the show in a new role.
Casualty star Amanda Ryan is going to play a police detective investigating Nate Robinson’s murder and put the cat amongst the pigeons in the village.
She played Mel Sinclair in Casualty and has also appeared in Coronation Street, EastEnders and Doctors.
The actress will make her debut in the coming weeks.
The ITV soap has also snapped up esteemed actress Jaye Griffiths who has had major roles in Casualty, The Bill, Silent Witness and Doctors.
And she’s going to be playing a new villainous character who could prove problematic for farmer Moira Dingle.
Viewers know Moira is in serious trouble and facing massive fines for her farm contaminating the water supply.
And while it was John Sugden who framed Mackenzie Boyd for the crime, Moira’s facing losing her beloved farm.
So when a neighbouring farmer makes herself known, Moira’s facing a huge crisis.
Newcomer Ceilia calls to enquire if she can rent two of her fields, Moira is quick to shrug her off, but she clearly means business.
Celia’s reputation precedes her as Moira isn’t keen to deal with this woman, despite bad finances on her own farm.
And soon when poor vet Paddy is brutally attacked and hospitalised by one of Celia’s guard dogs we start to get the measure of her true colours from her reaction to the attack.
Producer Laura Shaw explains: “We are absolutely delighted to have Jaye Griffiths joining us to play the role of Celia.
“Having recently taken over a nearby farm, not much is known about mysterious Celia’s past before arriving on the outskirts of the village.
“While Celia has a tough edge with an air of respectability, the audience, and our villagers, will soon start to see what this woman is truly capable of.”
Jaye explains: “I was delighted to get this role – without giving the game away she is very different to anyone I have played before and I can’t wait to really get into the heart of her storyline.”
Celia is renting a neighbouring farm in Emmerdale from Kim Tate, but with the Bartons and Sugdens as farming families already well established within the community there is definitely conflict on its way.
