Emmerdale star Louise Jameson has signed a new contract with the ITV soap, extending her role as Mary Goskirk until at least January 2024. The actress, known for her previous roles in Doctor Who and EastEnders, joined the show last year as Rhona Goskirk's mother.
Jameson confirmed the news to The Sun, saying: 'I've just signed for another year. So I'm definitely there until January 2024.' She added that she is considering staying for a longer stint, but noted that many cast members who initially said the same have remained for decades.
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw welcomed Jameson's extended stay, praising her as a 'high calibre and talented actor' and a 'fabulous asset to the show'.
Looking ahead, Mary will begin searching for love in upcoming episodes. She confides in friend Rodney Blackstock about downloading a dating app, hoping to find a romantic connection.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
