In last night’s episode of Emmerdale (Tuesday, March 12), Angelica attended her court sentencing as her parents said goodbye to her.
She was sentenced to eight months in a Secure Children’s Home, with the judge going lightly on her.
But, as Angelica spends time away from the village, when will she come back? Will a different actress take on the role upon her return?
Emmerdale: Angelica was sentenced to eight months
Last night, Angelica came downstairs dressed smartly as she grabbed her things and said goodbye to her brothers.
She then went outside, ready to get in the car for her sentencing. Before she departed, she bumped into Bob and handed him the letter she’d written to him.
In court, the judge explained that Angelica was to receive a custodial sentence although this would be a lighter sentence than it could’ve been.
She was given eight months in a SCH, although there was no space in Leeds. This meant that she’d have to move to a SCH in Bristol – a four hour car ride from Emmerdale village.
Emmerdale fans demand recast when Angelica returns
With Angel having had more screen time recently, Emmerdale fans have shared their wishes for someone else to take on the role once the character returns.
Currently, Rebecca Bakes plays the character. She’s played the Kings’ daughter since 2009 but fans are hoping for a switch up.
One viewer wondered: “Does anyone else hope her 8 months away leads to a recast?”
