A new Sugden.....

Emmerdale announces new Sugden family member for "gripping" storylines

I wonder how they will fit her into the family tree? Apparently the actress is 30 years old, so I guess she could pass as a never-before-heard-of child of Joe who died in 1995. That, or she's another child of Jack's, which would be a disappointment. Those are the only options though, since Jacob Sugden (Annie's husband) only had one brother and he died young in WWII.

I guess she could be a more distant relation, but I doubt the show would want to go all the way back to the early 1900s to find a link between her and the current Sugden family.

I could see them just calling her a cousin and not elaborating. A child for Joe would make more sense, unless they want to say that she is Jackie's long-lost kid (although she wouldn't be called Sugden). I just hope they will do a better job than they did with John, which was a fiasco.
