A new Emmerdale character is being teased and it is one fans of the soap have previously called for.
Since Jessie Elland joined Emmerdale as Chloe Harris, back in 2021, many viewers have wondered about her character’s backstory - namely who is her father? Speaking at a press event previewing upcoming storylines, Jessie offered fans a little bit of hope that they may soon have a reveal.
“I think that will be really interesting (introducing Chloe’s father). That’s the first thing everyone asks me. They say ‘who is your dad?’.”

Previously, there’s been rumours in soapland on who could play the role. As we’ve reported, Jessie thinks Yorkshire legend Sean Bean, who hails from Sheffield, would be an ideal casting.
Discussing the James Bond and Lord of The Rings actor, she said: “Maybe a Sean Bean-esque baddie? I’m picturing a stereotypical northern man with a big ginger beard. A Sean Bean kind of vibe.”
Pressed again on the matter, Jessie remained somewhat coy.
She added: “I’m just as excited as everyone else with that one. We’ll just have to wait and see.”
