  • 6 Emmerdale cast members with famous families including Danny Miller and Will Ash

    6 Emmerdale cast members with famous families including Danny Miller and Will Ash

    The Emmerdale cast are full of talented actors. But for some of them, showbiz runs in their family.

    Everyone focuses on cast members who are together in real life, but there are actually quite a lot who grew up in a talented household. And aren’t the only famous face in their family.

    Have you ever thought some of them looked like someone famous? Or thought you knew the surname from somewhere? If so here’s a rundown of those in the Emmerdale cast who have famous family members.

    1. Amy Walsh

    One of the most obvious ones is Amy Walsh (Tracy Robinson). Amy grew up with not just one famous sibling, but two.

    One of her sisters, Sally Walsh, was actually in Emmerdale years before Amy. And despite leaving before her sister arrived, the love for the soap clearly runs in the family.

    Then Amy’s other sister, Kimberly, is a member of the huge girl group, Girls Aloud. Kimberly and Amy have always had a strong bond.

    When Girls Aloud recently embarked on their reunion tour, Amy posted on social media several times at the show, singing along.

    2. Adam Thomas

    While Adam is no longer in the show, he is best-known for playing fan-favourite Adam Barton.

    Away from the show he comes from quite a talented background, as both of his brothers have appeared on our screens before.

    His older brother, Ryan Thomas, is best known for playing much loved Jason Grimshaw on Coronation Street from 2000 to 2016.

    And while Adam’s twin Scott hasn’t been on any soaps, the star has appeared on two seasons of Love Island. He first went on the show back in 2016. But returned on this season’s Love Island: All Stars. However, a few days ago he made the decision to quit.

    3. Danny Miller

    Danny Miller, best known for playing Aaron Dingle, also has a famous relative that might shock you.

    His 90-year-old father, Vince Miller, is quite a legendary figure in the entertainment industry. He had a remarkable 65-year showbiz career, alongside stars like Johnny Mathis and Shirley Bassey.

    Danny, who regularly hosts charity events, and Vince seem to have always had a close bond, as the star will regularly show his dad off on social media.

    4. Charley Webb

    Everyone may be aware that Charley Webb (Debbie Dingle) was in a long-term marriage with Emmerdale co-star Matthew Wolfenden (David Metcalfe). The couple share three sons together and despite their relationship ending, seem to manage co-parenting successfully.

    But what might surprise fans is that Charley’s brother is also a well-known face. Jamie Lomas is best known for his role as Warren Fox on the Channel 4 soap, Hollyoaks.

    The siblings however, tend to keep a low profile in the public eye, rarely showing any snaps together.

    5. Amelia Flanagan

    Tuesday February 4’s Emmerdale episode proved what a star Amelia is, playing April Windsor in the soap. She is currently at the centre of a heartbreaking storyline that has viewers gripped.

    But away from Emmerdale, it seems her younger siblings actually followed in her footsteps. She is the older sister to twins William and Isabella Flanagan, who both appear in Coronation Street.

    Isabella plays the troublesome Hope Stape, whereas William takes on the role of Joseph Brown.

    6. William Ash

    When Caleb Miligan arrived on our screens, we had no idea that he had another hugely talented soap relative in his family.

    Over on the cobbles, his talented cousin, Peter Ash, played the role of loved Paul, up until recently.

    When Will joined Emmerdale, Peter took to X to express his pride. He wrote: “Yes! This is my cousin, Will! He is an absolutely fantastic actor and was one of my biggest inspirations for getting into acting. Can’t wait to see him do his stuff in Emmerdale!”

    Fans of Emmerdale have heaped praise upon stars Amelia Flanagan and Mark Charnock as missing teenager April finally reunited with dad Marlon this week.

    In emotional scenes, Marlon finally came face-to-face with his daughter again after over a month apart. With April recovering in hospital after complications from the stillborn birth of her child, Marlon was desperate to be there for his daughter.

    Fans demand Amelia Flanagan gets ‘all the awards’ as April’s trauma is revealed

    Fans of Emmerdale have heaped praise upon star Amelia Flanagan following her performance as April in last night’s harrowing episode. This came as the soap revealed what had become of the teenager during the four weeks of her disappearance.

    As she took to the streets of Leeds, April found herself lost and with nowhere to turn – falling in with a group of homeless youths. It was then that viewers learned April was pregnant.

    And, as her situation went from bad to worse, April suffered a stillbirth in a nearby gym. She then passed out on a park bench, which is where she was found and subsequently rushed to the hospital.

    Amid this very special episode, viewers had nothing but praise for its young star.

    Writing on X as the episode aired, viewers highlighted Amelia’s powerful performance as young April.

    “Give Amelia Flanagan all the awards. Incredible performance as April,” wrote one fan.

    “I’ve just finished tonight’s #Emmerdale and for 16 years old Amelia Flanagan is outstanding. What a terribly sad story for poor Amelia. Lots of questions left unanswered too…” said another.

    “Amelia Flanagan made a great job of that difficult story. Hard as it is to believe April thinking life on the streets better than her loving home, there’s no doubting the quality of this episode,” a third said.

    “Wow that episode was harrowing and triggering. Poor April 🙁 what a shining star Amelia is, amazing,” said a fourth.

  • Inside the life of Emmerdale star Amelia Flanagan – age, famous siblings and whether she’s leaving Emmerdale

    Inside the life of Emmerdale star Amelia Flanagan – age, famous siblings and whether she’s leaving Emmerdale

    Emmerdale star Amelia Flanagan hits centre stage this month as her alter ego April Windsor is finally found after going missing.

    As April processes the trauma she’s been through, in real life things are pretty good for actress Amelia. She has recently celebrated turning 16, finished her GCSEs and has a very close family – who are also soap stars.

    Here’s a look at Amelia’s life off-screen.

    Amelia Flanagan joins Emmerdale as April

    April Windsor burst on to screens in 2014 and was an immediate hit with viewers. So much so she won several best young performer awards, including three years in a row at the Inside Soap Awards.

    April is the daughter of Donna Windsor and Marlon Dingle. Marlon didn’t even know his former wife had been pregnant when she left the village in 2009. But in 2014 she returned with their daughter on Marlon’s 40th birthday. He was stunned to discover he had a daughter and initially said he wanted nothing to do with her.

    But Donna was back for a tragic reason: she had terminal cancer and needed to leave April with her dad when she died. Donna took her own life by jumping off a building in 2014 when handcuffed to a pervert who had threatened to abuse April.

    April went to live with Marlon full-time and also grew very close to Donna’s boyfriend Ross Barton.

    In 2021, April was the victim of bullying online. Amelia received praise for her role in the storyline. It turned out her aunt, Cathy Hope, was behind the trolling. The two have since made up, however.

    In March 2022, April was the one who found Marlon when he suffered a stroke. She has stepped up to help care for him during his recovery.

    She currently lives with Marlon, stepmum Rhona Goskirk, brother Leo Goskirk and step-gran Mary Goskirk. Although April has run away from home and is surviving on the streets, Marlon is soon to get his daughter back – but at what cost to their relationship?

    How old is Emmerdale star Amelia Flanagan?

    With April – and Amelia – having grown-up on screen, it’s hard to believe the actress is now 16 years old. We still remember when she was a tiny tot!

    She was born on June 6, 2008. Amelia joined Emmerdale when she was just five years old.

    April, however, is slightly younger than Amelia. She was four when she arrived in the Dales and is currently 15 on screen.

    Amelia celebrated her sweet 16 last summer with a big party. Looking stunning in a floor-length sequinned gown, fans were quick to comment on how grown-up Amelia looked.

    Among the many wishes of “Happy Birthday” one fan wrote: “OMG! Stop it! I’m feeling old by seeing you growing! My Goodness, for how long did I sleep?”

    Amelia completed her GCSEs last summer and although she hasn’t revealed how she did in the exams, she certainly has a bright future ahead of her whatever the outcome.

    Amelia’s mum, dad and famous siblings

    Amelia Flanagan’s parents are Rachel and Chris Flanagan. Rachel has long kept fans updated on Amelia’s life on social media. Chris has also celebrated his daughter on social media.

    Back in 2020, he wrote on X: “Six years ago today we found out this one was going to join Emmerdale with no idea of what was to come!

    “Couldn’t be more proud of everything she has done and the young lady she has become!”

    Of course, soap fans know Amelia is not the only actor in her family. Her brother and sister – twins William and Isabella Flanagan – both star in Coronation Street.

    Isabella has played troublemaker Hope Dobbs since August 2017. William, meanwhile, has played Joseph Brown since October 2017.

    They are both 14 years old in real life. On-screen, Hope is also 14 and Joseph is actually a year younger, at 13.

    As well as playing Joseph in Corrie, whose biggest storyline saw him struck down with Lyme disease, William recently also starred in a short film called Lia IRL. He won an award last year for Best Actor Under 17 at an Italian Film Festival.

    Is Amelia Flanagan leaving Emmerdale?

    Amelia is currently part of a huge storyline where April has gone missing. She disappeared on Christmas Day after a huge row with Marlon and was last seen getting into a mysterious car.

    It then turned out April had been living a secret life. She was drinking and posting herself on social media on a secret account.

    A special standalone episode to air on Tuesday February 4 will show viewers what April has been through – and it’s set to be pretty traumatic.

    Although April is confirmed alive by the police who have told Marlon they have found her, she is seen in a pretty bad way. So does April die in Emmerdale?

    There have been no announcements that April will die, nor that Amelia is leaving Emmerdale. In fact, given she’s just been found, there seems to be more of a story to tell going forward if she is alive.

    The whereabouts of missing teenager April Windsor are set to be revealed in Emmerdale spoilers for next week. Young April has been missing for weeks now, with stressed dad Marlon agonising over her whereabouts – but no closer to finding his daughter.

    After CCTV footage located her living rough on the streets of Leeds, he and Ross took off in hot pursuit. Unfortunately, the pair were unable to find April in spite of their relentless pavement-pounding. And with Marlon worried that she might have either died or been kidnapped by monstrous Anthony, things haven’t been looking good.

    Someone finally finds April next week – but where is she found, and in what state is she in? A special episode of the soap will tell April’s story, exploring her situation as she navigated life on the streets. Where has April been?

    Emmerdale producer reveals April’s ‘heartbreaking’ journey

    Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: “April’s flashback episode is a heartbreaking depiction of life on the street as a teenage girl. Continuing to take guidance from the fabulous team at Missing People, it was incredibly important that we didn’t shy away from the agonising journey that April would go through. Their help was invaluable in making sure the episode has the authenticity required.

    She continued: “Amelia Flanagan‘s outstanding performance makes this arguably, one of Emmerdale’s stand out episodes of this year and promises to start a new journey for the character of April, forever changed by her time living on the city streets.”

  • Amelia Flanagan’s ‘fabulous’ performance as April amid hostage showdown praised by fans

    Amelia Flanagan’s ‘fabulous’ performance as April amid hostage showdown praised by fans

    Fans of Emmerdale have praised actor Amelia Flanagan for her performance as April in last night’s episode. This came as Jade kidnapped the teenager, determined to get her money back from Ross (who, it turned out, never even had it).

    Having her thugs dangle April from the roof of a high-rise cark park, Jade soon proved that she wasn’t to be messed with. Rushing to the rescue, Ross managed to avert disaster – although this was more thanks to the arrival of Aaron and Mack, with Jade’s money.

    April learns the truth about her mother’s death

    Back at home, April was in surprisingly good spirits, considering she’d just been kidnapped and dangled over the side of a building. However, there was worse to come as she learned about the tragic circumstances behind mum Donna’s death.

    Understandably, April was shaken to learn that her mother had taken her own life at that very same car park.

    And, amid the revelations, fans found themselves impressed by the young actress’s performance.

    Emmerdale fans praise Amelia Flanagan as April

    Writing as the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts. And many had good things to say about Amelia Flanagan, who plays April.

    “Amelia Flanagan who plays April is FABULOUS tonight!! Amazing talent right in front of our eyes,” wrote one fan.

    “It was really great acting from young ‘April’ in the episode. She really stood out,” said another.

    “Amelia Flanagan who plays April is fabulous. Her sister and brother are Hope and Joseph in Corrie,” wrote a third, blending critical analysis with soap trivia.

    “April is outacting all the adults,” a fourth viewer pointed out.

    April’s story will continue tonight, as she continues to reckon with the truth about her mother’s death. Can April get the answers she needs?

    ‘Gorgeous’ photo of Amelia Flanagan and her Coronation Street star siblings has fans saying ‘Wowsers’

    Fans have been left gushing at a recent photo of Emmerdale star Amelia Flanagan with her younger Coronation Street siblings.

    Fan favourite Amelia Flanagan has played April Windsor on the soap since 2014. April is the daughter of Marlon Dingle and the late Donna Windsor.

    The talented star was just six-years-old when she joined the soap and fans have loved getting to watch her grow up over the years.

    Amelia, now 16, isn’t the only talented member of her family. Her younger brother and sister both star in Emmerdale’s rival soap Coronation Street as Joseph Brown and Hope Dobbs.

    Their mum, Rachel Flanagan, loves to keep fans updated on their life outside the shows. She quite frequently will post photos of the stars off-screen, or lets fans know when they have had an exciting day at filming. But her most recent Instagram post has left fans surprised at just how grown up the Emmerdale star looks.

    Amelia, along with her siblings were all smiles as they got dressed up for the Yorkshire’s Young Achievers 30th anniversary dinner.

    One fan commented: “Wowsers! Perfect mix of mum and dad.”

    Another noted: “Gorgeous. Looking so grown up!”

    “Your three lovelies are growing up so fast!” a third penned.

    Amelia’s time on Emmerdale

    Over the years, Amelia has had her part in many huge Emmerdale storylines. In her first year at the soap, Amelia was thrown in the deep end.

    Very early on April lost her mum, Donna. Other storylines have seen her deal with being cyber-bullied, and having to look after her father when he suffered a life-changing stroke.

    At the beginning of the year, Amelia’s character refused to get in a car with her teen friends. This decision proved to be smart after Angelica King crashed, causing the death of Heath Hope.

    While things may be calm for April at the moment, in that village nothing ever stays quiet for too long.

    April previously had a close friendship with Ross Barton, who had been in a relationship with her mum before her death. While they didn’t have many scenes together in the run up to his exit six years ago, with his recent big return, could we see more scenes of the two of them?

    Amelia Flanagan, who plays April Windsor in Emmerdale has informed fans she’s finished her GCSE exams and according to the family social media page is “over and out”.

    Fan-favourite Amelia has been on the soap since March 2014 and given she’s grown up on screen, her recent online activity has left fans surprised – they still think of her as a little girl.

    But she’s all grown up and celebrating the summer after her huge achievement.

    Fans quickly commented: “Bet you smashed it you’re a very intelligent girl.”

    “Yay, enjoy your summer,” said another.

    Someone else said: “Congratulations Amelia, now it’s time for you to enjoy your summer. I bet you did brilliant in your GCSEs as you’re a bright young lady. All the best for your future career.”

    But the news may have come as a shock to some fans who are often questioning her age. Amelia was just five years old when she joined Emmerdale in March 2014. Her alter ego, April was four.

    The Flanagan family’s social media account posted a picture of Amelia outside what looked like a bridal store. She was holding a sign that said: “I said yes!”, which is a popular way for brides to announce they’ve chosen their wedding dress following the television series’ of the same name.

    “I legit thought OMG she’s getting married!” exclaimed one stunned follower. Another said: “OMG, I can’t believe she’s that age already!”

    Of course, Amelia wasn’t getting hitched. She was just picking her prom dress!

    And now the actress has recently celebrated her 16th birthday. She was born on June 6 2008.
