Emmerdale casts Christine Tremarco as mysterious newcomer linked to Will Taylor
Rose may be in Kim Tate's firing line!
Emmerdale has announced the casting of acclaimed actress Christine Tremarco as a woman called Rose, who shares a mysterious connection to Will Taylor (played by Dean Andrews).
Rose is described as bolshy and boisterous, and is said to have previously lived in Benidorm.
The character's arrival is set to cause trouble in Will's marriage to Kim Tate (Claire King), when Will fails to mention Rose to his furious wife!
Star Tremarco will make her debut on-screen later this month, and has spoken for the first time about her role on the ITV soap.
"I am thrilled to be joining Emmerdale! To be working with such a wonderful cast and crew along with the brilliant writing and production team is an absolute joy! Rose is so much fun to play," she said.

"She is free-spirited, boisterous and totally mischievous with a steely edge and a big heart."
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw added: "We are massively delighted to welcome Christine Tremarco to the Emmerdale family.
"Christine brings a wealth of experience and talent, and playing the character of Rose, a true free spirit with an exuberant outlook on life, she certainly promises to cause a real storm for some of our villagers."

Tremarco is known for her television roles in The Responder, Safe House and Casualty. She also starred in BBC's Waterloo Road as kindly yet fiery teaching assistant Davina Shackleton from 2007 to 2009.
It looks like Emmerdale's Kim might just have met her match, with the above descriptions suggesting Rose won't necessarily be as wary of Kim as the other villagers!
But just who is Rose, and how does Will know her? Is she someone from his past life of crime? Might there also be a connection to his daughter Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley)?
All will be revealed in the coming weeks when Rose makes her first appearance, and we can't wait to see how she fares against the formidable Kim.
