Samantha Giles will reportedly reprise her role as Bernice Blackstock on Emmerdale for a brief stint after two years away.
The character was last seen fleeing the village after being shunned by sister Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) for racking up huge debts related to the B&B.
Bernice will be back in the Dales, according to The Sun, for the upcoming wedding of Gabby (Rosie Bentham) and Vinny (Bradley Johnson).
A source told the newspaper: “Everything is being kept very hush hush but of course Bernice’s return is a big deal as one of the soap’s most loved characters.
“And Samantha being back among the cast is a real win too, as everyone loves working with her.”
Filming of the story is expected to begin later this month and will air later this year.
