Emmerdale icon speaks out after fans fear she's left the show for a major film role
The film's official Instagram page shared: "We’re super excited to reveal the first member of our cast! The very talented Michelle Hardwick will be playing Rose.
"Rose has always had a strong moral compass, but she’s thrown for a loop when her estranged father asks to see her on his deathbed.
"Now happily married to her wife, Rose is a million miles from her difficult upbringing.
"She hasn’t seen her dad in over twenty years, and if it was up to her, she’d quite happily never see him again.
"Will Rose get the answers she needs? Will Rose get the apology she desperately wants? And even if she does, will Rose forgive her father?"
While many were happy to see the actress land such an important role, others were worried that this meant she was leaving the ITV show.
One person said: "HOLD ON!!!! What about Emmerdale???"
However, Michelle Hardwick was able to quash these fears by replying to the message: "Alongside It".
In response to this clarification, one fan said: "Thought for a min you was leaving Emmerdale, was gonna cause an uproar. Massive good luck on your new adventure."
