Emmerdale star Rebecca Bakes has confirmed when her character Angelica King will return to the ITV soap. At the start of the year, Angelica, Cathy ( Gabrielle Dowling ) and Heath Hope (Sebastian Dowling) were involving in a car accident after trying to joyride into town for a New Year’s party. As Wendy ( Susan Cookson ) and Bob ( Tony Audenshaw ) arrived at the scene, it wasn’t long until Wendy realised Heath wasn’t able to be saved due to the severity of his injuries.
As Bob and Cathy dealt with the sudden loss of Heath, Cathy also had to try and convince her dad that she wasn’t behind the wheel when the crash happened. After Heath’s funeral, Angelica finally confessed to mum Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) that Cathy had been telling the truth all along. In March, Angelica made her way to court and was sentenced to a secure children’s home for a very lengthy eight months.

Initially, the King parents spoke about Angelica getting bullied by other children but now, we know she’s regularly ‘playing up’ and her attitude is ‘driving them [the adults] up the wall’. Suffice to say these developments have been a surprise for Jimmy and Nicola, who know Angelica as a shy young girl who had.
