THORN IN THE SIDE Casualty star joins Emmerdale to cause chaos for Kim Tate – and she’s just weeks away from hitting screens
Bolshy and boisterous, Rose has recently been living in Benidorm and her arrival is sure to cause a stir
A CASUALTY star has joined Emmerdale to cause chaos for Kim Tate – and she’s just weeks away from hitting screens.
The ITV soap welcomed former Coronation Street star Paula Lane earlier this year, as well as The Bill’s Beth Cordingly, and now a well-known face from the hit BBC medical drama is making their way to Yorkshire too.
Actress Christine Tremarco has joined Emmerdale and is due to make her debut on screen later this month.
Christine will be playing the character of Rose, who is known to Kim Tate’s husband, Will, played by Dean Andrews.
Bolshy and boisterous, Rose has recently been living in Benidorm and her arrival is sure to cause a stir when Will fails to mention her to Kim, played by Claire King.
Reflecting on her new role, Christine said: “I am thrilled to be joining Emmerdale!
“To be working with such a wonderful cast and crew along with the brilliant writing and production team is an absolute joy!
“Rose is so much fun to play. She is free spirited, boisterous and totally mischievous with a steely edge and a big heart.”
Producer Laura Shaw added: “We are massively delighted to welcome Christine Tremarco to the Emmerdale Family.
“Christine brings a wealth of experience and talent and playing the character of Rose, a true free spirit with an exuberant outlook on life, she certainly promises to cause a real storm for some of our villagers.”
Christine played Linda Andrews in Casualty from 2010-2013, and has also appeared in Waterloo Road and Little Boy Blue.
Emmerdale fans will be glad to have some good news after the revelation tonight’s episode will not air.
The ITV soap usually airs every weekday night for 30 minutes, but tonight’s has been removed from the schedules.
This is to make way for the Women’s UEFA Euro 2025 Qualifier, taking place between the Republic of Ireland and England.
The coverage will start at 7pm with the match kicking off at 7.30pm, when Emmerdale would usually air.
Instead, a double episode aired on Monday night from 7pm until 8pm, while the 30 minute episodes will resume as normal on Wednesday.
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
