**ITV Emmerdale star shares details of Angelica King’s comeback following tragic death twist**
Rebecca Bakes, known for her role as Angelica King on the enduring ITV soap Emmerdale, has revealed insights into Angelica’s eagerly anticipated return to the series. The talented young actress is slated to reprise her role as Angelica later this year, as Emmerdale revisits the heart-wrenching storyline surrounding Heath Hope’s tragic demise earlier in the year.
In a shocking turn of events last March, Angelica was sentenced to eight months at a secure children’s home after admitting her involvement in Heath’s untimely death. It was disclosed that Angelica was behind the wheel during a fatal joyride on New Year’s Eve that claimed Heath’s life. Initially, she had avoided responsibility, allowing Heath’s twin sister Kathy to take the blame, leading to Sebastian Dowling’s departure from the show after portraying Heath from infancy.
Speaking at the Radio Times Soap Awards on July 13th, Rebecca teased the timing of Angelica’s return, suggesting it would likely occur towards the end of September, pending filming schedules. Reflecting on the impactful New Year storyline, Rebecca recounted the excitement of being entrusted with such a pivotal role, highlighting the emotional weight of the narrative.
Rebecca also expressed missing Sebastian as a co-star, reminiscing about their shared experiences filming together since childhood. Recent mentions of Angelica onscreen have depicted her struggles at the secure children’s home, initially facing bullying but later hinted at stirring up trouble.
In a poignant moment with his nephew Tom, Angelica’s father Jimmy expressed sorrow over the changes in his daughter, lamenting, “She’s not my little angel anymore.” As Emmerdale prepares to delve deeper into Angelica’s storyline, viewers can anticipate a compelling exploration of grief, guilt, and the complexities of youthful mistakes. Stay tuned for Angelica King’s emotional return, promising to captivate audiences with its powerful storytelling and poignant performances.
