Eden Taylor-Draper has hinted Jane Cox will return to ‘Emmerdale’ soon.
The 20-year-old actress says her character Belle Dingle’s mother Lisa Dingle has "got to come back" to the Dales because her alter-ego is in potential danger after fearing her crazed boyfriend Lachlan White (Thomas Atkinson) could have killed her brother Sam Dingle (James Hooton).
She said: "Lisa’s only in Scotland and she watches the news. So hopefully, she’ll return.
"If that was my mum, she’d have to come back.
"Even if she was in Australia. It’s mother’s instinct. She’s got to come back."
Eden admitted it was "very intense" filming upcoming scenes in which Belle fears the worst has happened to Sam when she discovers "blood everywhere", and Lachlan hints he may have bumped off her brother.
She added: "This is the first time he mentally comes to terms with it and says, ‘Yes, I’ve actually done all of this.’
"Belle is screaming at Lachlan, asking why there’s blood everywhere. Lachlan, very calmly, just says that Sam was getting in the way. She can’t comprehend it and she fears her brother is dead. That was very intense.
"As the week progresses, Belle’s head is just a mess. She adores Lachlan, but she gets this shocking information and it takes some time to process it."
Lisa departed the Dales in April after she suffered an angina attack, but Jane has since admitted she has not left the soap forever.
However, she remained coy about whether her character and husband Zak (Steve Halliwell) – who clashed when he blamed her for Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) being sent to Youth Offenders for four months after the teen spiked her drink with ketamine – will ever get back together.
She teased: "That remains to be seen."
