EMMERDALE star Louisa Clein has given fans a behind the scenes look at preparations as she geared up to film the dramatic moment her character returned from ‘the dead’.
The actress – who plays paedophile teacher Maya Stepney in the hit ITV soap – shared a series of snaps of herself in the makeup chair before she got down to business.
She posted the pictures following last night’s show, after Maya returned and then went on the run.
She wrote: “Blown away by all your amazing messages about tonight’s episode.
“Thank you. It was an epic intense cold and smelly experience made bearable by the best team and an owl.”
During last night’s Emmerdale, Maya returned to the village and convinced her schoolboy lover Jacob Gallagher join her on the run.
Jacob and Maya were caught out in dramatic scenes when Priya Sharma spotted them kissing outside of a club as the villagers headed to Hotten for a night out a couple of weeks ago.
Priya went on to tell Leyla and Tracy Metcalfe what she’d seen, causing Leyla to trick an unsuspecting Maya into a car – and she’d been missing ever since.
She said: “Of course it’s awkward.
“But it’s awkward kissing someone who isn’t your partner, regardless of his age.
“Maya’s relationship with Jacob is not sexual and titillating, it should be awkward and uncomfortable.
“Joe would say the same.
“We’ve both been very respectful of each other and the script has been very respectful of the fact I am nearly forty and he’s only 17.
“There have been times when we’ve both said something is inappropriate when we’re filming, be it about the clothes or a sexy scene, and the crew have been very considerate about our feelings as actors and we tried something different.”
