Emmerdale's Dr Caitlin Todd, played by Caroline Harker, is set to return to the ITV soap in a storyline focusing on workplace bullying. The character, who first appeared in December 2024, will clash with trainee doctor Jacob Gallagher (Joe Warren-Plant) as she relentlessly criticises him.
In upcoming episodes, Dr Todd will install herself in the village, blurring the boundaries between Jacob's professional and personal life. The storyline explores Jacob's struggle to maintain work-life balance under pressure from his overbearing boss.
Caroline Harker, 60, is married to actor Anthony Calf, 66, known for roles in New Tricks, Holby City, and Poldark. The couple have three daughters. Harker has also appeared in A Touch of Frost, Coronation Street, and Hijack.
Harker said: "I'm delighted to be back at Emmerdale for a longer stint playing Doctor Todd. She's a complex character and from what I've been told so far, quite a tricky one for Jacob to navigate. Workplace bullying is commonplace, and it will be interesting to see it brought to our screens."
