Georgia Sharma – the mother of Jai (Chris Bisson) – made her return to Emmerdale last night as his adoption storyline continues.
However, she did not receive a warm welcome and the first thing her son said to her upon her arrival was ‘Get back in that taxi!’.
Georgia’s arrival comes after Jai discovered that dad Rishi (Bhasker Patel) has been lying to him his whole life as he seeks to find answers on his real mother and father.
Georgia was initially played by The Bill’s Trudie Goodwin, however, she has been recast for her return to the village.
So who plays Georgia now, and where might you have seen her before?
Who plays Georgia Sharma in Emmerdale?
Georgia Sharma is now played by Lin Blakey.
Expressing her excitement at the role, Lin said: ‘How lucky am I to play such a strong character as Georgia?
‘So different from roles I’ve played of late! I have enjoyed every single minute. Gorgeous cast and crew! And the gorgeous Dales. Thank you Emmerdale.’
Georgia (played by Trudie Goodwin) was last seen in Emmerdale in 2015 when she left for a cruise after a four year stint on the show.
What else has Lin Blakey starred in?
Lin is no stranger to soaps and starred in rival show EastEnders as Pam Coker, on and off from 2014-2022.
Pam, also known as ‘Birdie’was the wife on funeral director Les Coker (Roger Sloman).

However, Paul tragically died in a homophobic attack in 2016 and Pam and Lez eventually moved away from Walford to deal with his loss.
As well as EastEnders, Lin has also starred in Casualty, Vera, Doctors and Silent Witness.
