Emmerdale Angelica stars' lives - death aged 3, Girls Aloud link and recasting rumours
Emmerdale fans were all saying the same thing this week, as Nicola King’s daughter Angelica turned up in the ITV Dales.Angel is rarely seen in the soap nowadays, and looked a lot different to the last time folks had seen her when she rushed back home after seeing the video of her mum being attacked.Some fans were sure that she had been recast, but in fact the role is still played by actress Rebecca Bakes, who took over from original child star Sophie Firth in 2009.Angelica had a rocky start to life when she was kidnapped from the maternity ward of the hospital where she was born by Carl King’s wife Lexi, who was desperate for a child of her own.The pair were found on the hospital roof after a daring escape. Angelica has also been at the centre of a biting plotline when Cathy Hope bit her on the arm at the village kids’ club, which saw Nicola go on to bite youngster Cathy as revenge.It saw her taken to court but escaped with a caution - despite her trial being the same day as her wedding to Jimmy.
