These days, when most of us think of Emmerdale’s entrepreneurial maven Gabby Thomas, we’ll typically think of actress Rosie Bentham, who has been delighting audiences as the scheming businesswoman since 2016. However, there was another actress long before Rosie that brought the young daughter of Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles) and Ashley Thomas (John Middleton) to life on screen, and that was child actress Annelise Manojlovic who famously played the character from 2001 up until 2015.
Now, eight years since her departure from the soap, it’s safe to say that Annelise looks rather different, having grown up just like her on-screen alter-ego has in the past few years. In one recent Facebook post, the talented young star could be seen sporting a glamorous new look as she wore an elaborate updo and dress adorned with pearls in a very chic, but mature ensemble for a special occasion with her pal.
Opting for a full face of makeup, Annelise added a slither of silver eyeshadow to her lids to brighten her eyes, before adding a pop of colour to the look with a slick of pink lipstick that perfectly highlighted her smile. The stunning look was certainly a far cry from the school uniform many stars had last seen her in, when she played the school girl on the soap, but did give eagle eyed fans a chance to imagine how her version of Gabby may have looked had she stuck with the role.
Originally hailing from Leeds, Annelise first shot to fame on the soap as a baby when she took over playing Gabby Thomas from fellow infant Jemma Giles. However, since leaving the show, Annalise has swapped acting for dancing, and even went on to study for a Ballet Performance Bachelor of Arts degree at the School of Ballet Theatre UK, in Hinckley,
