Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ newbie Jade’s real identity – and she’s related to a Dales legend

Emmerdale’s Jade made her shock arrival this week but fans have ‘rumbled’ her real identity – and she’s related to a soap legend

Emmerdale fans have ‘rumbled’ who the mysterious Jade really is, following her bombshell arrival this week.

The character (Twinnie-Lee Moore) rocked up to the Dales during Friday’s episode (October 11) – and certainly ruffled a few feathers.

As fans will recall, Billy Fletcher’s (Jay Kontzle) huge secret was revealed recently: he has been fighting at an underground boxing club, in a bid to provide for his struggling family.

His wife Dawn (Olivia Bromley) has no idea what he has been up to, with Billy often coming up with lies to cover his tracks. However, a fight went wrong this week for Billy, who suffered a series of painful injuries.

Despite calling off doing any more underground fights, Billy had a shock when unlicensed boxing promoter Jade showed up in her private car at the side of the road, demanding he get back into the ring.

Dawn later interrupted the pair and the mysterious Jade then played along that she was a potential personal trainer client of Billy’s. However, afterward, Jade cryptically threatened Billy that she would eventually get what she wanted from him.

Jade’s arrival sent viewers watching at home into a frenzy. So much so, that they think she is lying about her identity and has a huge link to a Dales legend.

Sharing their thoughts online, fans are convinced she could be the secret daughter of Caleb (William Ash) and Ruby (Beth Cordingly). Last month it was revealed that the pair have a secret daughter, Stephanie, from years back.

Now, viewers Jade is actually Stephanie, in what would be a huge twist. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one person said: “Anyone think she might turn out to be Caleb and Ruby’s daughter Stephanie? She’s probably going to become a big character being an established actress already from Hollyoaks.”

Someone else added: “Imagine! I would put it past the writers tbh.” A third agreed: “Wouldn’t surprise me if she’s related to Caleb and Ruby.”

Actress Twinnie-Lee Moore plays Jade previously shared her excitement at joining the soap, saying: “My life has been a bit crazy recently juggling music and acting with lots of back and forth between Nashville and Yorkshire but I’ve been loving it.”

“I’ve loved being back on screen, especially as the show is shot in Yorkshire, being able to be home with family and go to work on such an iconic show has been nothing short of amazing. The whole team has been so welcoming and really supportive. My character is so much fun to play and I can’t wait to see how the audience reacts to her.”

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
