Emmerdale star Katie Hill has played the role of Sarah Sugden since 2017 and is set to take centre stage in upcoming scenes as she embarks on a new storyline

Emmerdale fans will see Sarah Sugden, portrayed by Katie Hill, at the heart of fresh drama in upcoming scenes.
In the episodes to come, sparks are set to ignite between Sarah and Jacob Gallagher, played by Joe-Warren Plant, as they plan a romantic date.
Yet, in classic soap opera fashion, just as Jacob has set up a date with Sarah, his mum Leyla Harding, played by Roxy Shahidi, demands he join her for lunch, leaving Sarah feeling jilted. But did Leyla do it on purpose?
As the week progresses, Jacob seeks forgiveness from Sarah, and they agree to try for another date – but will it go to plan?
Actress Katie, 21, has played the role of Sarah since 2017. Prior to this, the role was played by Sophia Amber Moore from 2007 to 2016.
