Emmerdale’s Saskia actress has already starred on rival soap – here’s where you’ve seen her before
COMEUPPANCE could be on its way to Naomi Walters as she faces trial for her involvement in Nicola King’s attack.
But she also bumped into Saskia Parks, a member of her former gang who Emmerdale viewers may recognise from a rival ITV soap.
The youngster portrayed by Karene Peter confessed to being present during Nicola’s attack but denies any wrongdoing.
However, Saskia tried to push her to change her story during last night’s instalment of the Yorkshire-based drama.
The brunette was determined to get Naomi to do what she wanted, going as far as to threaten her family and insinuating she owed her money.
Twenty-one-year-old Sarah Kay-Sweeney was chosen to play the part of Saskia and it may be due to her previous experience on another famous show.

In 2015, the actress and young singer made a brief appearance in Coronation Street, also as a bully.
This time, her stint in the eponymous ITV village may lead to serious consequences.
During last night’s trip to the Dales, Naomi explained she was scared of Saskia and the gang who attacked Nicola.
But Saskia’s barrister argued the defendants were no longer friends after a recent altercation.
Naomi was thus accused of framing the girls for Nicola’s assault to get revenge on them.
Yet she remained adamant on telling the truth and spoke about her encounter with Saskia in the toilets.
There was finally hope for Naomi as this led to the latter lashing out publicly.
Could Saskia’s outburst save Naomi from time in prison?
As viewers may remember, the owner of Café Main Street played by Nicola Wheeler was brutally attacked earlier in the year.

She remained fragile and traumatised following the mugging and even suffered a mental breakdown which David Metcalfe was ready to take advantage of.
Nicola eventually recognised Naomi’s voice when the newcomer first rocked up the village as she tried to bond with her vicar father Charles.
Naomi was then looking for a job in the café but this only landed her in trouble due to Nicola wanting justice for her attack.
