Emma arrived on the street with a bang, when she slept with David Platt who then asked her to move in with him.
But David didn’t really like Emma, he was just struggling to cope after being drugged and raped by Josh Tucker.
David and Emma’s fling didn’t last long and he soon dumped her to be reunited with Shona.
Emma then moved in with Maria and is now in a relationship with Chesney – which has become a bit of a love triangle with Gemma Winter.
Alex has also played Kelly Horton in one episode of the ITV drama series Vera back in 2017.
She has also starred in the short film Chocolate Pieces and is the co-artistic director of JunkBox Theatre.
