Christine Tremarco is tonight joining our screens as Rose in Emmerdale.

Rose is someone who’s known to Will Taylor – Kim Tate’s husband – and who’s recently returned to Yorkshire after living in Benidorm. She’s described as “bolshy and boisterous”!

Sounds like fun! Though it seems Kim doesn’t see her that way – especially when Will doesn’t admit he knows Rose from the past.

Actress Christine will be a familiar face to anyone who’s watched television over the last 20 years, because she’s been a regular on our screens.

Christine is  best known as Davina Shackleton in Waterloo Road, the school secretary, turned teaching assistant, turned teacher.

Christine also starred as nurse Linda Andrews in Casualty for two years.

More recently she’s appeared in The Responder and prison drama Clink.

Christine makes her Emmerdale debut on Thursday April 25. Will Taylor is called away from family duties to find her in a hospital room, but how does he know her?

The actress has admitted she’s excited about getting her teeth into Rose.

“I am thrilled to be joining Emmerdale!” she says. “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.”

We can’t wait to see what Kim Tate makes of Rose!
