Georgia joined Emmerdale last year as Caleb and Ruby’s daughter Steph.
She had a number of intense storylines, including finding out her grandfather Anthony Fox was actually her dad after he abused Steph’s mum when she was a teenager.
Steph then sought plastic surgery as she wanted to change her appearance so she wouldn’t resemble her abuse. Anthony was also murdered by Ruby and the death was covered up.
