Emmerdale fans can gear up for fresh excitement as it's been revealed that two fresh faces are poised to shake things up in the village as Ruby Milligan's long-lost father Anthony and her daughter Stephanie are set to arrive.
Actor Nicholas Day will be stepping into the shoes of Anthony, who has been estranged from his daughter Ruby for many years, while actress Georgia Jay takes on the role of Steph, who similarly has a distant relationship with her parents Ruby and Caleb. The impending arrival of these characters teases potential upheavals in Ruby's life, hinting at high drama ahead.
77-year-old Nicholas Day is no stranger to our screens, with an array of appearances in hits like Minder and The Crown, giving viewers plenty reason to recognise him. Meanwhile, Georgia Jay also known by her real name Georgina Philipps is known for her portrayal of Dianne Vickers in Giri/Haji on BBC.
Her acting repertoire includes parts in Glow and Darkness (2021) and The Devil Sits on Both Shoulders (2018). Beyond her known work, details about Georgia remain scarce.
Georgia maintains a presence on Instagram with a following of 268 and doesn't seem to post frequently, except for the odd travel snapshot here and there, reports Leeds Live.
During her stint in Giri/Haji, she took to Instagram to share some exclusive behind-the-scenes pictures from 2020. She posted a still from the series where dressed in a striking red outfit, she captioned: "Don't mess with the one in Red."
The addition of actress Georgia to the Emmerdale cast is an electrifying step forward for her career; she's gearing up to become a part of the Milligan family. The arrival of Stephanie and Anthony will unveil Ruby's history to viewers for the first time and shine a light on the beginnings of her and Caleb's relationship.
Georgia shared her excitement about the role, stating: "I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. The cast and crew have all been so welcoming and I'm very excited to see what lies ahead for Steph, given her intriguing backstory."
