Emmerdale actress Louise Jameson has spoken about the potential for her character Mary Goskirk to enter a romance storyline with a younger village resident, admitting she would worry about the age gap in real life.
Jameson, who plays Mary, reflected on her character's journey since coming out as a lesbian and venturing into dating. Mary's recent storyline saw her fall for a woman named Faye, who turned out to be a con artist, leaving Mary heartbroken.
During this difficult time, Mary found support from Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), and their connection appeared to deepen. However, Suzy's head was turned back to her ex, Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), upon her return to the Dales, leaving Mary alone once more.
Discussing future storylines, Jameson told the Mirror: 'There's going to be a love life storyline but I don't know when! But they keep dangling this carrot.' She added: 'Maybe a love triangle! Maybe she'll get together with Suzy, I don't know what's going on yet. I do think they're a good match.'
However, Jameson expressed reservations about the age gap between Mary and Suzy, stating: 'In real life, I would worry about the age gap. If you're old enough to be someone's mother, it's probably not a brilliant idea. However, it happens to a lot of people so it's to do with the people!'
