New to Emmerdale, a Ukrainian illegal immigrant
Friday, 16th October 2009. By Dave Harland
Emmerdale will soon have a new resident whether villagers like it or not when a Ukrainian stowaway sneaks her way into their lives.
The new character - known only as Olena - arrives after hiding on one of the King family's haulage trucks as it returns from France.
Village factory workers see the scared immigrant escape from the truck before village youngsters kids Belle Dingle and Will Wylde hide her away.
An Emmerdale insider said: "She's very grateful that the children are so kind to her but she's obviously scared and begs them not to tell anyone about her. That's what they try to do.
"Later some of the Dingles find out that she's an illegal immigrant - but other people who end up meeting her don't realise who she is.
The insider added that Olena’s identity remains hidden from the rest of the Emmerdale residents until the New Year.
But when the truth comes out, there are mixed feelings as to whether she deserves to stay.
Olena will be played by Swedish actress Carolin Stoltz, who reportedly signed a 1 year contract with the soap.
Carolin's other TV credits include Doctors and Clash of the Santas.
