'Emmerdale's Michelle Hardwick is shocked by her character Vanessa Woodfield's steamy encounter with Charity Dingle.
Michelle Hardwick as Vanessa Woodfield
The pair shared a kiss when they became trapped in the cellar of The Woolpack pub together during Finn Barton's wake but Michelle was surprised by the storyline as the characters have barely shared any screen time until now.
She told the Daily Star's Big TV Magazine: "There's been no attraction before, so this has come out of nowhere.
"I don't think she thought of Charity in that way.
"In the five years Vanessa's been in the village, she's probably said three lines to Charity.
"She's only been involved with her recently."
But Michelle has revealed that there are more romantic moments in store for Charity and Vanessa.
She said: "Charity is like a lioness prowling and becomes quite predatory over Vanessa.
"She becomes under Charity's spell, and they end up kissing again and going upstairs to the bedroom."
Charity previously had an affair with her former husband Chris Tate's sister Zoe but has not had a lesbian encounter since then until Vanessa.
