'Emmerdale' newcomer Pauline Quirke has said that she loves "the element of surprise" in soaps.
Speaking to Inside Soap, the actress, who plays Jackson's mother Hazel in the show, said when asked if she knew what was in store for her character: "Not really!"
"I've been told briefly what's to come, though I don't particularly want to know too far in advance."
"I love the element of surprise, and I'm not being coy about it, but I'm enjoying concentrating on Hazel's first few days in the village."
"It's really nice to see her settle in there and make some good friends."
