Fans of Emmerdale were recently taken aback by the revelation of actress Karen Blick's real age. The beloved star, who plays Lydia Dingle on the popular ITV soap, was surprised with an early birthday celebration by her co-stars at a local restaurant. Lisa Riley, who portrays Mandy Dingle, shared a photo of the happy occasion on Instagram, wishing Karen a happy "pre-50th 50th birthday" and expressing their love for her.
The post was flooded with well wishes and messages of love from fans and fellow cast members, including Samantha Giles, who played Bernice Blackstock. "Happy birthday to one of the loveliest people I know! Have a wonderful celebration," Samantha wrote. But amidst the celebrations, fans couldn't help but express their disbelief at Karen's real age. "Cannot believe you're 50, don't look anywhere near 50," one fan commented, while another exclaimed, "50 - never! Happy birthday."
Joining Lisa and Karen for the festivities were fellow Dingle actors James Hooton, William Ash, Mark Charnock, Emma Atkins, Katie Hill, Jack Downham, Bradley Johnson, Sam Hall, and Eden Taylor-Draper. It's been a busy year for Karen on the show, as her character Lydia has been at the center of some major storylines.
One of these storylines involves her relationship with Sam Dingle being put to the test due to their son Samson's behavior. Lydia also recently confided in Amelia Spencer about the abusive nature of Tom King, hoping to get through to her and bring him down. Fans are now speculating that Lydia's words may have had an impact on Amelia and that she may be the one to expose Tom's true colors. Only time will tell if their theories are correct.
