There are more ridiculous castings in the show. Carly Hope is supposed to be 24/25, and Emma Barton looks too young to be the mother of at least some of her children. How young must she have been when she met James?

Per Emmerdale wikia
james born 1969 Emma not stated .
They are shown as marrying in1989 Emma
must have been at least 16 so latest DOB1973
Which makes her 42 -actress is 43 dob May 1972

Sons DoB Pete not stated Ross 1990 Finn 1992
Im.sure ive read somewhere!? that Pete was
conceived (.and possibly born).when Emma
under age perhaps when she was 13/14??
but cant find it now.

So technically old enough to be their mother
but agree doesnt.really look it!!
