Emmerdale spoilers: Pregnant Victoria Sugden terrified as rapist Lee Posner breaks into her cottage

VICTORIA Sugden will be left chilled to the bone in Emmerdale next week when her rapist Lee Posner barges his way into Mill Cottage with his mother, Wendy.

Pregnant Victoria, played by Isabel Hodgins, is terrified as the pair force their way into her home and makes a run for it up the stairs, but she takes a tumble, leaving step-mother Diane Sugden worried.

Could Lee’s shock arrival at the cottage have more serious consequences than he imagined?

Lee and Wendy – who’s played by Cold Feet and Casualty star Susan Cookson – arrive in the village as Wendy is determined to confront Victoria over her ‘lies’ about her son.

The women will come face-to-face in the Woolpack when Wendy follows Victoria into the loos and wants to talk to her, not believing Victoria’s claims that Lee is a rapist.

A shaken Victoria will try to challenge Wendy but Charity Dingle arrives and – protective over her chef – leaves Wendy wrong-footed.

But Wendy clearly means business and tracks Victoria down to Mill Cottage, where she discovers something about Victoria that will leave her shocked.

Soap fans will recognise Susan as Maggie Coldwell from Casualty between 2005 and 2008, then again from 2009 to 2015, but she’s actually been in Emmerdale before in three different roles.

Her most recent appearance was back in 2003, as DI Judy Dove, and before that, she made a one off appearance in 1997 as another police officer, DC Fallon.

Her first appearance was in 1993, as a unnamed garage attendant.

She’s also worked a year on Coronation Street, playing Callum Logan’s mum Marion between 2015 and 2016, and acted in Cold Feet, Doctors and Land Girls.

“I am thrilled and delighted to be joining the community, both on and off screen, that is Emmerdale,” Susan said when her casting was announced last week.

“I am also excited about tackling all the gritty and emotional storylines that are ahead for my character Wendy. I’m thrilled to be playing such a fantastic character.”
