Emmerdale's Val thought she'd flop
Wednesday, 30th July 2008
Emmerdale actress Charlie Hardwick never expected her bubbly character Val Lambert to become so popular.
The actress - who won the Best Comedy Performance award at the 2006 British Soap Awards for her performance as Val - said she never believed her character would go down so well with Emmerdale fans.
She said: "I never expected Val to become so popular.
"But people tell me they like her because she makes them laugh and she is so wicked.
"Sadly, I have much more of a moral conscience!"
Chris Chittell
Charlie also said she is thrilled to be working with Chris Chittell - her on-screen lover Pollard in the ITV soap - because he always brightens up the set.
She said: "I'm always delighted to see Chris.
"He is extremely kind, generous and courteous - and forever smiling first thing in the morning.
"Everyone gives me a wide berth because I'm always scowling, but he will be there with a grin on his face.
"I have a lot of respect for him - he is a great screen partner."
