Melanie Hill makes her debut in Emmerdale later this month.
If the name doesn't sound familiar, her face certainly should be. The Sunderland-born actress is arguably best known for being the second person to play Aveline Boswell, the modelling-obsessed sister in hit Eighties sitcom Bread.
Since then she's featured in such TV productions as Cardiac Arrest, Crocodile Shoes, Playing the Field, Close & True, and NCS: Manhunt.
Hill has also starred in various acclaimed stage productions, as well as the movies From Hell and Brassed Off.
She even became the envy of thousands of women when she wed Sheffield-born heart-throb Sean Bean in 1990. The couple had two daughters, Molly and Lorna, before divorcing seven years later.
Her Emmerdale character, Avril, is a love-lorn soul in search of a new man.
She arrives in the village after seeing Bob in a dating agency video, and decides he's the one for her.
Unfortunately, neither of them reckoned on the attentions of his estranged wife Viv who, in a fit of jealousy, decides to keep a close eye on the couple.
Before long, war is declared between the two women, with poor Bob caught in the middle. But which of them will finally win his heart?
