Emmerdale fans spot EastEnders legend in the village – and she’s a very familiar face
EMMERDALE viewers have spotted an EastEnders legend in the village.
Soap star Lin Blakley has joined the ITV soap as Georgia Sharma after bosses replaced former actress Trudie Goodwin in the role.
She arrived in the village tonight after discovering she was not invited to son Jai’s wedding to Laurel Thomas.
Jai told Laurel in the village: “I don’t want stress. I want fun and posh frocks and bad dance moves. And I want you.”
But then a car pulled up and a familiar face – or not as the case may be – stepped out.
“Mum?” shouted Jai, stunned to see his mother in the village after eight years.
“Has someone forgotten my invitation to the big day?” she said.
“I’m going nowhere until this whole debacle is sorted. Why am I not invited? Rishi tells me he is. You’re my son, I shouldn’t have to muscle in to your wedding.”
As Jai shouted at his mum to leave the village until she was ready to tell him the truth, Georgia hit back.
“Get that out of your head,” she said.
“The only thing we’ve ever wanted was for you to have a happy childhood. You’re our son, nothing else really matters.”
Viewers know that Jai was left devastated when he discovered he was adopted by dad Rishi – with the former couple refusing to tell Jai who his dad is.
He cut them both off until they could tell him the truth – but they have refused.
But fans are just staggered to have spotted EastEnders legend Lin – famous for playing Pam Coker – in the ITV soap.
One wrote: Ey up, whats Pam Coker doing in Emmerdale? X
A second said: It’s Pam Coker straight from Walford
Another added: “Eastenders axing Pam Coker was such a stupid decision (like a lot of their axing choices) Oh well, their loss is #Emmerdale gain.”
