Louise Appleton arrives in Emmerdale
The locals were taken by surprise in 2001 when Louise, who hails from Australia, arrived in Emmerdale. She took up a job as a temporary barmaid at The Woolpack and quickly befriended Diane Sugden.
Louise’s stint in the village began with her dating Rodney Blackstock. Their romance was short-lived as Rodney was still besotted with his ex-wife Diane. When Louise found out Diane and Rodney had slept together, she ended her romance with Rodney but forgave Diane.

Ray Mullan’s murder
Louise dated shady businessman Ray Mullan and their relationship was packed full of drama. Having quickly moved in together, Louise was smitten with Ray. However, he wasn’t the man she thought he was.
In a bid to control Louise, he convinced her she was being stalked so that she would agree to move to Italy with him. On their way to the airport, Louise found out Ray was actually her stalker.
A fight ensued between the pair and the car crashed. Ray was knocked unconscious and Louise fled back to Mill Cottage. Ray woke and followed her and another fight broke out. It ended with Louise killing Ray by accident on Boxing Day in 2002. With the help of Terry Woods, Louise concealed his death.
She struggled in the aftermath of Ray’s murder and became withdrawn and cold towards her friends, most notably Diane. Louise then began seeing married man Ronnie Marsden, leaving everyone unimpressed.

She eventually dumped Terry in a bid to be with Matthew, but he ended their fling days later. Terry refused to take Louise back.

He vowed not to report Louise but ended their relationship and moved out of The Woolpack. She blamed Diane for their split and sold her share of the pub as a way of punishing Diane.

Louise and Jamie in Emmerdale
In 2008, Louise began dating Jamie Hope. Their romance became a huge talking point in the village due to their age-gap, but they shrugged off the backlash.
Jamie proposed to Louise after just months of dating and they decided to get married at Christmas. She called off the wedding after Jamie questioned her about a friend in Australia called Jonty, who people had thought she was having an affair with.
Louise insisted that she’d won a beauty contest while in Australia and Jonty was her manager. Jonty then came to the village and after promising Louise more work, she agreed to head back to Oz with him.

Jamie returned in June 2009 without Louise. He claimed she had found a new man and dumped him.
