SLEEPY village Emmerdale is rocked by the arrival of an illegal immigrant.
A young Ukrainian woman sneaks aboard one of the King family's haulage trucks following a business trip to France.
The scared stowaway, played by Swedish actress Carolin Stoltz, is seen escaping out the vehicle by some factory workers but they assume she's gone for good.
Then kids Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and Will Wylde (Oscar Lloyd) stumble across her and hide her away.
A soap insider said "Olena's story about why she's run away will be revealed in the next few months.
"She's very grateful that the children are so kind to her but she's obviously scared and begs them not to tell anyone about her.
"That's what they try to do. Later some of the Dingles find out that she's an illegal immigrant - but other people who end up meeting her don't realise who she is.
"Her identity remains hidden until the new year."
When Olena's story does come out, opinion in the village is divided. Some support her, others don't. She first appears next month.
Carolin, who has had minor roles in Doctors and Clash of the Santas, has signed a 12-month contract with the ITV1 soap.
