Look away now, Gennie fans - Emmerdale viewers will get their first glimpse of Nikhil Sharma's new partner Tanya next week.
Tanya, played by show newcomer Hilary Connell, joins Nikhil in the village following his decision to stick around for a little longer than originally planned.
The new arrival's first scenes see her thrown straight into an awkward situation as soon as Nikhil (Rik Makarem) has picked her up from the airport.
Brenda Walker sparks the tension when she suggests a get-together to celebrate what would have been her daughter Gennie's birthday.
Tanya isn't sure whether it would be appropriate for her to attend, but Nikhil's brother Jai (Chris Bisson) is quick to encourage her.

As ever, Jai has an ulterior motive as he secretly hopes that everyone will hate Tanya for ruining Gennie's memory.
With Tanya unaware of just how malicious Jai can be, she soon finds herself under his influence as he tries to cause as much trouble as he can. Will jealous Jai manage to sabotage things for his brother?
Emmerdale airs Tanya's first scenes on Tuesday, November 10 at 7pm on ITV.
