Emmerdale’s Fiona Wade has revealed that there could be romance on the cards for her alter ego Priya Sharma – and maybe even a reunion with old fling Pete Barton.
The actress, who has had a hectic filming schedule recently thanks to some big storylines for Priya, has admitted that she thinks her character is better when she’s in a relationship because she likes being part of a ‘family’.
She told Metro.co.uk: “I’m sure there will be someone because I think Priya likes having her family unit. I think she feels complete when she has a guy but I don’t know who it could be yet.

“There’s a lot of people with people at the moment so maybe we’ll bring in someone new?”
But when it comes to romance, Fiona hasn’t completely ruled out a reunion for Priya and Pete after the pair’s affair last year while Pete was with her best friend Leyla Harding…
“You know, when they put Pete and Priya together I thought that was completely out of nowhere – like wow that’s just completely different.
“Though it worked actually when you saw them on screen.”
And to make it an even more perfect reunion, Fiona and Anthony Quinlan, who plays Pete are great friends… “Do you know, I really enjoyed doing that storyline and I really enjoyed working with Anthony.”
