Nicola Stapleton joins Emmerdale

3 months ago 08th Aug 13:00

Actress Nicola Stapleton is set to join 'Emmerdale' later this year.

The 33-year-old will play streetwise Londoner Danielle, a figure from Eli Dingle's past, and joins the cast in September.

Nicola said: "Danielle is such an intriguing character because there's more to her than meets the eye. I'm really looking forward to starting filming and I think viewers can expect some interesting encounters as we explore the relationship between Danielle and Eli.

"I can't wait to spend some time in Leeds and meet the rest of the cast."

Nicola previously starred in BBC1's 'EastEnders' where her character, Mandy Salter, dealt with drugs, child abuse and prostitution.

She has also had roles on ITV's 'Bad Girls' and 'The Commander'.

Series producer Anita Turner said: "I'm so pleased to welcome an actress with Nicola's calibre to the show. Eli likes to manipulate people, but Danielle is a different proposition and she'll definitely get under his skin."
