In last night’s episode of Emmerdale (Thursday, December 19), Denise
Welch made her appearance. And fans adored her.
When it was announced that Denise Welch would be appearing in
Emmerdale for Tom’s court case, there was a lot of online chatter on what it would look like. But it’s safe to say her character Heidi did not disappoint.
Emmerdale Denise Welch appearance
Heidi was a member of the jury, and had the task of determining whether or not Tom was abusive. And in a unique format, Emmerdale actually showed us how the jury came to the decision.
Someone who was pivotal to the guilty verdict was in fact Heidi. From the very beginning she believed Belle’s story. And every time someone challenged her on it, she was determined to make them see the truth.
Throughout the episode of Emmerdale, Denise had some powerful lines to deliver, and fans were left demanding more.
Many took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their hopes for future appearances for the character.
One wrote: “Absolutely fantastic from Denise in Emmerdale. She should be brought in full time. Brilliant stuff.”
Another added: “Loving Denise Welch’s character in Emmerdale. She put it to the jury exactly how it is. Bring her back for more.”
Fans want to know Heidi’s backstory
A third penned: “Wasn’t sure how Denise would work in Emmerdale when I heard the news. But I am OBSESSED with her. I want to know Heidi’s backstory.”
That’s what a lot of fans agreed on. When Heidi spoke to her fellow jurors, it sounded like she had her own personal experiences with the subject.
While she said she knew about it because ‘I’m a woman,’ many fans believe there may be more to explore with her character.
We don’t know if there has been any talks behind the scenes about Denise making another Emmerdale appearance, but if she does, it doesn’t look like fans would mind.
Denise wasn’t the only surprise appearance for Tom’s trial, as actor Charles Dale was there too.
