Holly Barton (Sophie Powles)
Things are about to get a little more crowded at the Barton/Dingle house as Holly Barton is returning to the village.
Incoming Emmerdale boss Iain MacLeod has revealed today that Sophie Powles is reprising her role as the troubled daughter of Moira Dingle.
Fans haven’t seen Holly in the village since 2012 when she decided to move away following the tragic death of her dad John.
But what will she make of Moira’s new husband Cain when she returns on screen in six weeks and will the singleton set her sights on any of the local lads?
Iain has teased that the former drug addict's return is going to spell trouble for the couple, who are already having to contend with the return of Cain’s ex Charity Dingle.
He confirmed: “Holly is coming back to the village and she’s going to be mixing it up for Cain and Moira!”
Meanwhile, the former Hollyoaks series producer admitted he knows he has big shoes to fill in taking over the top job from Kate Oates.
He said: “I’m thrilled to be part of the show, I’m under pressure but it’s a huge privilege and I want to continue Kate’s work.
It feels like I have been given a new box of toys to play with, it’s an amazing show and I feel very lucky to be a part of it.
