Bernice Blackstock has been a beloved character on Emmerdale for many years. From her iconic ways to passionate affairs, she has certainly made an impression on viewers.
Emmerdale star Samantha Giles has now opened up about her time on the ITV soap and the intimate scenes she had to partake in. She revealed that she wasn't too fond of them, especially as she got older, as she didn't want to have to kiss someone who was much younger than her. One storyline in particular that comes to mind for Samantha was Bernice's affair with Andy Sugden, played by Kelvin Fletcher.
Samantha revealed that she was embarrassed as Kelvin was much younger than her and she was 'mortified' at the thought of him having to kiss someone 15 years older than him. She said that, before they filmed the intimate scenes, she made sure to tell him that she was going to 'go for it' and throw herself into it.
Now that Bernice has left the village, Samantha is looking forward to being able to be more creative and 'spread her wings'. She said that, although she will miss her colleagues and the routine of going to work, she is excited to be able to paint a different picture each day.
It's clear that Bernice will be missed by Emmerdale viewers, and it's understandable why Samantha wasn't too fond of the intimate scenes with a much younger actor. We wish her all the best for the future!
