Emmerdale star to return 9 years after they were last seen - but there's a twist

Fulton will play Kylie, a masked kidnapper who abducts Lewis Barton and threatens him unless his father returns a missing Penny.

  • Pippa Fulton is returning to Emmerdale as villain Kylie, marking her third stint on the soap after appearances in 2014 and 2017. The actress arrives in the village next week.
  • Played by Fulton, Kylie has recently served an eight-year prison stretch and kidnaps Lewis Barton while he travels to the airport, demanding a stolen diamond called 'Penny' from his father, Kev Townsend.
  • As Ross Barton searches for his brother Lewis, Kev initially claims the diamond was sold to a pawn shop. However, Kev reveals 'Penny' is actually fastened around his neck on a necklace, while Kylie threatens Lewis with surgical scalpels.
  • Desperate to save Lewis, Ross knocks out Kev, hoping to use him as leverage against Kylie. Kylie has gleefully threatened to kill Lewis without a second thought if 'Penny' is not returned by day's end.
  • Soap fans will miss an episode on Thursday, June 18, due to sports coverage. Longer episodes on Monday and Tuesday earlier this week compensated for recent schedule disruptions affecting the show.
