Over the course of twelve months the Dales has seen new people arriving, some returning and some saying goodbye with the latest being Ethan Anderson.

Former Waterloo Road and Casualty star Christine Tremarco made her debut as Rose Jackson, who is described as “boisterous and bolshy”.

The Emmerdale newcomer shares a past with Will Taylor, and threatens to cause problems for his marriage to Kim Tate.

Announcing the news that she had joined Emmerdale, actress 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.”

Actress Paula Lane joined the cast of Emmerdale in 2024, playing vet receptionist Ella Forster.

Soap fans will recognise her for portraying the late Kylie Platt in rival soap Coronation Street.

Talking about joining Emmerdale, actress Paula said: “Everyone has been so welcoming and I can’t wait to start a new chapter playing the role of Ella”.

“I’ve already heard there are big plans for her and I can’t wait to see her navigate a new life in the village and hopefully make some friends!”

Since Caleb Milligan rocked up Emmerdale with his past shrouded in mystery.

However, he did mention a “wife”, which turned out to be Ruby Fox-Milligan. Playing her is former The Bill star Beth Cordingly.

Speaking about joining the famous soap, the actress said at the time: “I’m delighted to be joining the cast of Emmerdale, it’s an enormous privilege and Ruby is a dream role.”

“She’s a firecracker and a troublemaker and I think people will love her or hate her, and I can’t wait to get stuck in with this fabulous cast.”

He had been the victim of a hit and run weeks before, which had caused internal injuries which went undetected.

After his final scenes aired, actor Emile John took to Instagram and said: “After three years, Ethan’s journey on Emmerdale has come to an end,” he wrote in an emotional Instagram post.

“I feel extremely privileged to have entered this industry working on such an Iconic show. I honestly had the time of my life! Sharing the space with such talented folk on and off screen for the last few years has been a huge honour and an experience that’ll stay with me always.

“Huge thank you to those of you who have been invested in any of my storylines throughout my time on the show, seeing your reactions and opening important conversations have made it all the more worth it. With Love, Ethan Out.”
