Emmerdale fans were left stunned after discovering Georgia Sharma star Trudie Goodwin has a famous pop star daughterTrudie is the mum of none other than La Roux singer Elly Jackson
Trudie, who first appeared in Emmerdale in 2011 as the matriarch of the Sharma family, is the mum of none other than La Roux singer Elly Jackson.
Music lovers will remember Elly as the voice behind the smash hits In For The Kill and Bulletproof, which stormed the charts in 2009.
Their eponymous debut album sold over 2 million copies globally.
But in 2012, Ben quit the band, leaving Elly to fly the La Roux flag solo, using the name as her stage moniker.
She dropped her second album, Trouble In Paradise, in 2014, followed by Supervision in 2020.
The revelation has stunned soap fans, with many admitting they had no idea about the surprising family link!
Taking to an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one fan wrote: “Genuinely didn't know that!”
Another added: “Same here, I remember their songs from years ago.”
A third penned: “You learn something new every day!”
Meanwhile, after a four-year run on the show, Georgia Sharma bid farewell to Emmerdale in 2015 when she embarked on a cruise and Trudie left the show.
Georgia was at the centre of some major drama, from her split with Rishi to standing by daughter Priya during her battle with an eating disorder.
However, the character made a comeback in 2023, this time portrayed by Lin Blakley.
But will Trudie ever make a return to the Dales?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
Forgotten soap storylines
The nation's soaps have had many gripping storylines play out over the years. However, some plots proved to be far less memorable. Here are some forgotten stories from Weatherfield, Walford and more...
Ken and Audrey's romance (2015): After the death of wife Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride), Coronation Street original Ken Barlow (William Roache) started to move on in his life. He started to develop a spark with old friend Audrey (Sue Nicholls), with then-Corrie boss saying it would be like “Ross and Rachel”. In the end, nothing ever came of it and the two remained platonic pals.
Beth's bigamy (2016): Despite being happily married to Kirk (Andrew Whyment), a troubling secret came to light about Beth Tinker (Lisa George). It transpired that she had never divorced from her first husband, Darryl (Paul Loughran), father of her son Craig (Colson Smith). Although Craig and Kirk were shocked – and Beth was arrested – the storyline didn't didn't go much further.
Kat Slater's secret son(2017): Capitalising on the popularity of Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie (Shane Richie), the two received a spin-off back in 2017. Titled ‘Redwater', it saw the two travel to Ireland where they met long-lost son Luke, now called Dermott Dolan, played by OisÃn Stack. Despite the high-tension events during Redwater, Kat seems to have put the experience behind her as Dermott's not been mentioned since.
Alfie's brain tumour(2015): Having learned in 2015 that he had a brain tumour, Alfie kept the news from Kat until their trip to Ireland. At the time, actor Shane Ritchie revealed fans would see a change in Alfie as he battled the illness. It would appear that at some point after leaving the Square, was told the tumour was non-malignant. By the time Alfie returned in 2022, fans were left confused over what had happened to the storyline.
Kathy and Buster's affair (2016): In 2016, Walford legend Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth)fell into the arms of convict Buster Briggs, played by Karl Howman. Buster was the long-time lover of Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and fathered both her sons – Mick (Danny Dyer) and Dean (Matt Di Angelo). When Buster left, he begged Kathy to join him, but she refused for the sake of her family. Meanwhile Buster didn’t even stop to say goodbye to Shirley before exiting with a broken heart. Fans expected a showdown between the two women, but this never came to pass.
Jacob's OCD(2016): After his dad, David (Matthew Wolfenden), was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2016, Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) developed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This manifested in the form of cleaning. Jacob's OCD made a brief return one year on, after David had another scare after finding a lump. Jacob frantically searched the bins for a “lucky coin”; that had accidentally been thrown away. Despite stressful situations – such as being groomed by his teacher Maya, losing his fiancee Leanna to a serial killer, dealing with mum Leyla’s drug addiction, and surviving a stabbing – the condition doesn't appear to have returned.
Marlon and Charity's fling (2003): Few fans would likely remember few will remember the one-night stand between Charity (Emma Atkins) and Marlon (Mark Charnock)in 2003.The pair slept together when Charity was staying with Marlon while still under suspicion for husband Chris's supposed “murder”.
Alex Browning's revenge plot (2014): Fans expected a confrontation when Dr Browning’s son Alex (Ojan Genc)mer stepmum Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe). After all, Mercedes, with Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) and Lindsey Butterfield (Sophie Austin) had murdered Alex’s dad, double-murderer Dr Paul Browning, after he kidnapped and attacked his new wife. In fact, the soap teased Alex would seek revenge for his father's death upon arriving. However, he instead gave Cindy's son Hilton (his half-brother) a life-saving transplant, became his godfather, and leaving the village soon after.
