As Emmerdale welcomes another newcomer to our screens as part of an exciting new storyline involving characters Gail Loman and Ryan Stocks, fans at home have been struck with a wave of deja vu, as they recognised the actress Martha Cope from her other soap roles! Martha’s mysterious character Sophie, made her first appearance in the soap on Thursday’s visit to the Dales, when she sought out Gail to update her on the condition of someone named Oscar. As the episode progressed, it was soon revealed that Oscar was actually Gail’s teenage son and had been adopted by Sophie when he was just one week old - in a tragic soapland twist however, it was also revealed that he was battling an illness that would require a bone marrow transplant in order to survive.
