Follow OK! on Threads here: https://www.threads.net/@ok_mag Emmerdale is set for explosive upcoming scenes as Jai's mother, Georgia Sharma, is making a return to "ruffle feathers" on the eve of her son's wedding to Laurel Thomas. Originally played by The Bill star Trudie Goodwin, the role has been recast and will now be played by former EastEnders actress, Lin Blakley. Soap fans will recall that Lin, 75, played Pam Coker in the BBC One soap from 2014 until 2022.
She previously told Digital Spy: "Being part of EastEnders is like going to work and being with another family. I'm really enjoying myself." Away from her life on screen, Lin shares the spotlight with her very talented family. Lin married husband Alan Blakley in 1969 and they remained an item until his death in 1996.
During his career, Alan was one of the big names of sixties pop group The Tremeloes and performed many hits such as Silence is Golden and Me and My Life. Alan is also known for his connection to Len Chip Hawkes, father of pop star Chesney Hawkes, for whom he wrote songs. Alan and Lin had two daughters together, named Claudie and Kirsten.
He died on June 10, 1996, following an intense battle with cancer. Like mum Lin, Claudie became an actor after studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Her TV credits include Vital Signs, Flesh and Blood, Manhunt, Silent Witness, Midsomer Murders, Agatha Christie's Marple, Cranford and Grantchester.
