Wrath actress joins Emmerdale

As part of Anita Turner’s plans to turn around the flagging fortunes of the once mighty Emmerdale, a much hyped super-bitch character has been created.

The serial has been lacking a real bitch since the departure of Sadie King and, more recently, Rosemary King, but bosses have created a new character in their plans to stop declining ratings.

The new character, Anna De Souza, will arrive in Emmerdale for her father, Donald’s (Michael Jayston), birthday. Actress Emma Davies has been cast in the role and may be familiar to some for her role in Channel 4’s strange drama, Cape Wrath.

In that show, which was co-produced with American network Showtime, Davies played Abigail York. Although the drama was popular Stateside it failed to attract audiences this side of the pond and Channel 4 decided not to renew it for a second run. Emma Davies has already started filming at the Emmerdale studios in Leeds and will appear on screens sometime next month
