Her character is usually the life and soul of the Dingle household, but actress Karen Blick reveals she’s had to tap into darker emotions for Lydia’s upcoming rape storyline
Her character is usually the life and soul of the Dingle household, but Emmerdale actress Karen Blick reveals she’s had to tap into darker emotions for Lydia’s upcoming storyline.
“I’ve played Lydia for seven years, and she’s become part of me, so I feel very protective of her,” explains Karen. “She’s like a really good friend, and if somebody was telling me this is going to happen to a really good friend, I would have an emotional reaction. The next day, Lydia goes to hand in her resignation to Craig, but he reveals his true feelings and while she tries to leave, Craig forces himself on her.
“My friend is a crystal healer – she’s very talented,” says Karen. “She came to my house and gave me a complimentary session before we started filming. Then she gave me three crystals and said, ‘Keep that one in your bra, and put these two in Lydia’s shoes,“I have a crystal grid that she advised me on in the dressing room I share with Claire [King, who plays Kim]. For this storyline in particular, I feel like it’s given me an extra boost.
“We spent New Year’s Eve together because our children are of similar ages. Lily, James’ eldest daughter, is a bit older than Ruby. And Ava-Rose is a bit younger than my son, Oliver, but they get on really well.”
