Emma Barton In Emmerdale
5 Answers
Gillian Kearney, the actress playing Emma Barton, seems far too young to be playing mother to the 3 Barton lads who must surely be in their 20's or maybe 30 for the eldest. She is only 42 so unlikely to have such grown-up lads!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's not unusual for actors to play parts with a big age difference. (e.g. Clive Dunn was only 48 when he took on the role of Corporal Jones in Dad's Army). The casting director must have assumed that a bit of make-up would be sufficient to make Gillian Kearney look the age she's playing.
. . . or maybe she just lied about her age to get the part. It's not unknown!
