Lisa Riley, the talented actress known for her role as Mandy Dingle, has exciting news to share with fans. She recently announced that she has signed a new contract to stay on the beloved soap opera, Emmerdale. It's been 18 years since Lisa's character left the village, but she made a triumphant return in 2019 and has been enjoying every moment of it.
In an interview with The Mirror, Lisa expressed her love for being back on the show and her gratitude for being offered the chance to continue her journey on Emmerdale. "I've just signed a new long contract and I'm very happy," she shared. Lisa also couldn't help but gush about her on-screen partner, Dominic Brunt, who plays Paddy Kirk. She described their characters' dynamic as a "sprinkle of fun" and praised their ability to bring joy to the show.
The actress also revealed that she hopes to continue playing Mandy for many more years to come, joking that she might still be on the show in another 25 years. The couple is set to tie the knot once again on the show, 25 years after their first marriage. However, there's a twist in the plot as Mandy has been keeping a secret from Paddy - she's a Financial Dominatrix. Will their wedding still go as planned?
Lisa previously played Mandy from 1996 to 2001 and returned to the show six years ago. She believes that it was inevitable for Mandy and Paddy to reunite, as they are best friends and soulmates. Lisa also shared how Paddy loves Mandy's "mayhem" and always sees the best in her, no matter how whacky she can be.
