EMMERDALE CASTING AS A NEW SUGDEN IS REVEALED

-
ITV today (Wednesday 10th June) have announced West End star Casey Al-Shaqsy will be joining the cast of Emmerdale as Serena Sugden, the newest member of the legendary Sugden clan.

The arrival of Serena marks an exciting new chapter for the iconic Emmerdale family as the show looks to strengthen the dynasty's presence in the village. Casey began filming in April with her character set to arrive on screens later this month. This is one casting and character, I can totally get on board with knowing how talented Casey is.

Serena will find herself at the heart of the drama when she is drawn into the aftermath of a character's traumatic situation, finding herself conflicted about what she has become involved in. Soon, her presence raises questions about her true motivations for settling in the Dales and where her loyalties ultimately lie.
