Emily Kirk

Emily Kirk (also Wylie and Dingle) is a fictional character from the British television soap opera Emmerdale, played by Kate McGregor. She made her first appearance in the episode broadcast on 5 May 1999. Initially portrayed as nervous and naive, Emily lived a sheltered life with her father and lacks social skills, until she takes a job at the local post office. Writers established an uncoventional relationship between Emily and Butch Dingle (Paul Loughran) who, although veery different, were both somewhat in experienced and unworldly. McGregor thought the characters brought out the best in each other.
