Emily Head Joins Emmerdale

LONDON: Emily Head has joined the ITV serial drama Emmerdale to play the character of Rebecca White, the sister of Chrissie and aunt of troubled teen Lachlan.

Head will be first seen in the role in October. The actress is best known for her role as Carli D’Amato in The Inbetweeners.

“I am really looking forward to joining the Emmerdale cast, and so excited to be the one to put a face to the name Rebecca White,” Head commented. “I can’t wait to see how the village reacts to her arrival.”

The entrance of Rebecca as a character is set to be dramatic and she will continue to raise tensions within her family and in the village for months to come.

Iain MacLeod, series producer, said: “The character of Rebecca is a brilliant addition to the village. She’s funny, feisty and flirtatious—she might turn your fella’s head but, importantly, she has a good heart. Emily couldn’t be more perfect for this role and we’re delighted to have her aboard—the chemistry between her and our regulars is already electric.”
