is donna returning?

Emmerdale exec Kate Oates has revealed that the soap will welcome back some former cast members in 2014.

The producer refused to reveal exactly which characters would be returning to the ITV programme, adding that she hopes viewers will "enjoy the surprise".

Marlon and Laurel's lives will be shaken by a "blast from the past"

She told the soap's site: "As well as the new faces in the village, there are some old faces returning. I don't want to tell you too much about that - I wan't you to watch it, I want you to enjoy it."

Oates also suggested that recently-engaged Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) and Laurel Thomas's (Charlotte Bellamy) happiness will be disturbed by a "blast from the past".

She revealed: "I really enjoyed 2013 for Marlon and Laurel because we saw them get engaged.

"2014 does see a real challenge for them. There's going to be a bit of a blast from the past coming their way.

"It's really going to shake things up for that character group, and Paddy (Dominic Brunt) and Rhona (Zoe Henry) with them."

Oates has teased several Emmerdale storylines for the upcoming year including a "life-changing" time for Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), a "new direction" for the Pollards and a secret for the Barton family.

I think she is

Show chiefs have warned that Donna's comeback could spark trouble in the village as she threatens Marlon's happiness with his new fiancée Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy).

However, there are further twists in store as there is more to Donna's return than first meets the eye.

Rushworth said today (January 8): "I'm thrilled to be re-joining the wonderful Emmerdale team. The emotional journey my character is set to experience will be wonderfully challenging to play, and of course working with some of my oldest friends is going to be a real treat!''

Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates added: "I'm delighted to welcome Verity back to the show. Donna left under a real cloud with Marlon - so her return should ruffle some serious feathers in the village. I'm really excited to see the impact she has on the friends and family she left behind!"

Rushworth last appeared on Emmerdale in 2009 and has since been concentrating on stage work.

Hmm, wonder why she's back??

I think she was a Police Officer when she left, maybe she comes back as the same or now works for an insurance company to investigate Declan and the fire ?
