An Emmerdale actress is heading back to the ITV soap after nine years away, but viewers should not expect to see a familiar face.
Pippa Fulton is returning to the Dales in a brand-new role, marking a third appearance on the show and giving fans another reason to watch closely when the latest character arrives next week. Dive in for more information.
Pippa Fulton Returns To Emmerdale Nine Years Later
Fulton is making a surprise return to Emmerdale, nine years after viewers last saw her. However, she will not be reprising one of the previous characters.
Instead, Fulton is joining the show as Kylie, a mysterious new arrival who is set to cause trouble in the village. The comeback marks the third time Fulton has appeared in Emmerdale, making the actress one of the few performers to return in multiple different roles.
The actress first appeared in the soap in 2014, when the character shared a one-night stand with Ross Barton. A second appearance followed in 2017 as a customer at the wedding business Take A Vow.
Now, nearly a decade later, Fulton is stepping back into the Emmerdale world with an entirely new identity and a major storyline.
Kylie Arrives At The Center Of A Major Storyline
Fulton’s latest character, Kylie, will make an immediate impact when she becomes involved in a dramatic kidnapping plot.
Lewis Barton, played by Bradley Riches, finds himself in danger while travelling to the airport. Masked attackers bundle him into the back of a van before Kylie is revealed as the person behind the shocking incident.
Ross Barton later receives a text message warning that Lewis is in danger. The message claims that Lewis will only be safe if his father returns a person known as “Penny”.
An insider told The Sun that Fulton is expected to appear in “a handful of episodes later this month”. It suggested that Kylie will play an important role in the unfolding drama. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Emmerdale spoilers and behind-the-scenes updates.
